"She is starting to damage my calm."

It used to be that in any Halo matchmaking game, one could witness enormous mounds of verbal abuse heaped upon lesser players by their betters. Now it's seems to have stopped for the most part. I kind of miss it. Naturally I was the recipient of much of this abuse, but still. It's like one facet of the game is gone.

I guess a certain element has left the game.

I think it is because the people who are arrogant jerks don't play anymore, but you could be right too.

This is where I go to burn off some steam from all that repressed anger I have. If I insulted you on b.net, don't take it literally.

I haven't heard anyone talk in game-chat in months and I'm always in game-chat. It's so empty, feels like I'm playing with/against AI.

Yes, this is what I was getting at. It's not like I wanted to be abused, but sometimes the trash talk was really hilarious and even inspired lunacy.

I'm seeing a decline of players in game chat and I rarely matched up with people with their mics on.

You are probably right. I don't even know how that works.

It's less them not -blam!-ing, and more no one ever having mics in matchmaking. Almost everyone has no mic, and if they do, they're likely in a party rather than in game chat.

I may be nice and friendly pre and post game, but I -blam!- up a storm and talk all kinds of trash while it's going, so we aren't all gone. Keep it off of team and party and you'll hear me at some point ;) Right up until I get mute banned that is.

"So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories." John Williams

There are these magical new features called "Team and Party chat only" and "The Mute Ban". Myself and many others have "Team and Party chat only" enabled, so even if you talk smack to other players, if you're not on my team, I can't hear you. Other players simple don't speak up because they're afraid of getting mute banned.

Then there are other options such as people just not caring, ignoring you, or just laughing at your attempt to flame other gamers. It really is a waste of time.
