Since now is the time to ask....okay, beg; I will:

Bungie, I am one of the older, easygoing, fairly polite people who actually try to compliment everyone for a good game occasionally; I try to be considerate - only venting voluminous explicatives when I'm dead so I don't bother anyone, etc...

I made a post a while back with regards to how the Communicator works in H2, and how I wish there was a "Mute Other Team" function. Here's the link, for the sake of completeness, and forgive the tone; I was irritated at the obvious...

I haven't had many problems lately because I just don't bother plugging the thing in so I can just play this awesome game without being insulted and offended on a (seriously) game-to-game basis.

This really takes away from the teamwork aspect I enjoyed so much, though, and I've given up on that - I just play around on ActionSack unless one of my friends is on...

I will ask / beg Bungie to at least give us a 'Mute Other Team' option in Halo 3 - It isn't a problem with the game; it has to do with the sheer volume of offensive taunts and jeers, etc from the hordes of people that want to pop off with any offensive comment they can get in - it seriously takes away from my enjoyment of the game. Yeah, I know I can mute them each individually, but that gets to be a pain in the neck quickly, taking attention away from the match I'm in at the time.

The "open broadcast" also takes away from the tactics and strategy I crave the most - it's so difficult when everyone can hear everything...

For those that enjoy the trash-talking, don't take away from their fun; just please give me the option to not have to deal with it if I just want to play...

Thanks for your attention, and I look forward to Halo 3 in either case!

I didn't finish reading your post but you can just choose to mute all the individual players on the other team...I suppose if you got your whole team to do that it would work.

wow i think the translation for this piece of german is as follows

I would love, a suasuage in my ear with something ice cream would cling and whole the this in a dishwasher would do Halo is a ehrfuerchtiges play, because it represents my rescuer Hitler. Vorlagencheif is like Hitler, because he killed all foreigners like my God all Jews kills. I love the way, which he killed millions of them like that dirty Jews. Bungie is the best company, because they represent my God Hitler and praise for this i them!

That's cool; I do get wordy sometimes. I did address this, however, with:

>>

My point was that it is annoying to have to constantly place people on ''Mute" every game just to enable everyone to speak privately - either it is a rush to mute as many as you can between deaths, or become very vulnerable by muting them while still alive...

A "Mute Other Team" function would solve all these issues and already exists (in the pre-game lobby when teams are assigned...
