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!
