I have long been frustrated by smack talking timmies or adults with no life. It is pathetic and frustrating listening to the dribble that spouts from their mouths, polluting your gaming experience. People are able to do it with impunity online as there are no consequences for such behavior as there would be in “real life” ala Zinedine Zidane.

I have very rarely had my gaming experience improved by listening to the opposition.

How could bungie fix this in H3?

My suggestions
- Mute all enemy option - this is option you could choose in the lobby or in the game when they get too annoying. However I think it is more realistic and helpful to be able to listen to the enemy when they talk nearby.

- Garble the opposition’s voices option - i.e you can hear when they talk nearby but just not understand them.

My other suggestion deals with quitters. Quitting also ruins your experience whether they are on you team or the other.
- 5 min stand-down time quitting penalty

Occasionally you need to quit and in that case 5min does not matter. However 5mins will stop timmies, young and old, from quitting when they are not winning or don’t get the sniper rifle. This would increase the griefing so might not be such a good idea.

what is your opinion?

i like it. but for the quiting thing. they should have the ablity to quit. however the penelty should be that they can't play another match till thats ones over. and if they quit at the end or under 2 minutes left they should have to wait the 5 minute penelty

No, the quitting thing is stupid. If I get matched on a boring or just plain stupid map (Burial Mounds, Ascension) I will quit out.

Why? Because I want to.

burial mounds isnt all bad, granted i dont play it much any more, and its all open ground but err... well...

changed my mind, on reflection, burial mounds isnt that great

as for the idea, the garble idea is great, especially if you can send the garbled message to the guy who was speaking

that sounds cool but only for match made games.

To me there's no question...

The 'mute all enemy' option must be included. I've seen many good threads discussing the benefits of such an option in a variety of contexts.

I think Bungie will do it.

So untrue. I highly respect my opponents and don't trash talk them. Even when half my team quits out I play on as hard as I can for the benefit of the other team. That is, until they start with the trash talking. Then screw them, I'll hide in a freakin' corner for the rest of the game pissing them off. They can't quit out because it counts as a loss... so they spend five or more minutes wandering around looking in vain, or just plain waiting.

There's nothing more satisfying then having a half dozen enemies fly past your hiding spot cursing angrily about wasted time and cowardice and other foolishnes when they could have just held their tongues and saved them the whole situation.

yep, smack talking when you are a man up (and still losing in some cases) is a whole new level of pathetic.

Well, I like my suggestions and I haven’t heard any realistic objections. How could I bring it to bungies attention?

Kiwiofdeath i have two suggestions. Firstly, use the quote button when quoting somebody. Secondly, stop bumping your thread. If it was important then it wouldn't need bumping
