I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

How come nobody ever uses them in this game? I was fortunate enough to play with 2 guys in squad slayer who were using good communication, and they quit because our team was losing.

I only see like one person with a mic every 10 games. In a team based game where communication is paramount, why don't more people use mics?

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I don't feel like using mine. Especially since I only get matched up with jerks.

It's very true I mean it comes with the xbox why not use it to talk to your team. People say that people are mean bur that is rarely the case and they would most likely be mean to you because your doing something to annoy them.

Hal0 is seen by many as a game to spend time in.
people like to spend their time with people they already know... probably because majority of guys are punks and are bad at being sociable (bias!). Well that's just statistics for ya.

this is the antisocial behavior that lacks confidence!! Get out your confidence box and setup a design to capture the best!

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I'm sure part of it is because they don't want to get mute banned, but it's most likely mainly because people don't want to have the risk of being trash talked or annoyed by anyone.

/s

There's no need to, unless you are playing with friends over xbl. Even if I do have/use a mic, I don't even talk about the game, I talk about something entirely different from gaming.

Since I only play reach when my cousins come over, there isn't a reason to use a mic.

I don't play much games anyway.

I thought the same thing Mics make Xbox live. you meet cool people online. I never really understood why halo never really was big on mics.

But wow Modern warfare every one has A mic and it always negative what people are saying.

I'm setting aside money for a high quality mic at the moment. I've noticed if my team has mics they use it, only to -blam!-.

It's beacuse if you plug in your mic one of two things happen, you get jerks who do nothing but criticise you or you get a group of squeakers who don't know what a party is...

Ironically, most of the people I've seen who use mics are either one of those.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

I don't use mics when searching as a random.

I have my mic on but I don't talk, because everyone I get in a game with seems to be 10.

Because winning means nothing in this game. It's why you see 10x more mics in 100 games of Halo 3 than 100 games of Reach.
