I don't have a mic.

[Pobatti]

As I stated in an earlier post, I tend to play during the night-time as I have a rather bizarre sleeping pattern which has been likened to jetlag. That means I can't be shouting at the television, and even having my volume pushed up high can cause the neighbours to complain and knock on the wall.

During the periods where I could theoretically do these things, it... wouldn't be such a great idea. You see, my girlfriend is very highly... erm... ! Anyway, it would be a bit embarrassing if folks the other side of the world overheard half of the stuff she says to me.

Especially after she's had a drink or two

I use a mic when I play with friends, because we just do party chat on XBL and talk about whatever we feel like, amidst the occasional "Phantoms on the landing pad" or "Greg, stop Salarian dodge-dancing and get to the LZ." I never use it on bronze with randoms, sometimes use it on silver--just to all out that I'm using a missile, don't waste yours, etc.--and find it more or less required on gold.

I've been through so many matches that have made it to complete extraction without mics

In fact, the vast majority of the time people either don't have mics or have them but don't talk, and we still manage to work pretty damn well as a team.

QFT.

Made my first gold extraction today. I finally broke down and bought a mic, in fact we all had mics but no one used them. We simply stayed bunched up covered all 4 flanks and beat the **** out of everything. Things went bananas on firebase White when 4 phantoms and 3 Atlases were bearing down and instead of panicked screams and profanity we all stayed silent and focused. A thing of beauty.

A female voice attracts way too much attention (in my experience), so I don't really like talking. I only do when I'm with my friends or forum friends.

This for me.

Too many bad experiences when the guys focus on my gender rather than playing the game. There is only so many innapropriate sexual comments and "shouldn't you be in the kitchen?" jokes I can handle.

I don't have a mic. If I need to get someone to shoot something, I'll walk in front of them or melee the back of their head and fire a power in the direction I want them to look. It works 95% of the time.

I guess it's coming from War for Cybertron on PC which has ZERO communication. We just melee each other and shoot somewhere to tell people what to do. Kinda like bees.

I'm a dude and this annoys the hell out of me. 

It should be noted that not all of these comments are directed towards any of the players. There are always inconsiderate folks who are sexist, racist or nasty all round - but there are others who're simply talking to someone else in their own house (having a laugh and a joke with your girlfriend for example). These folks forget that everything can be overheard... in fact usually only the person playing can be heard if the other person is in the kitchen or on the toilet or something, and things you say in family/friendly banter isn't always good to go broadcasting to people over the net.

Still not very nice to hear, since you're never truly sure of the context.

And that is why you use push to talk. Because no one, in a game, on the other side of the world, cares how you treat your girlfriend.

 Sorry, but, microphoning with a stranger will always be awkward no matter what kind of justification it's given. Every time I hear some random pop up with a mic and tell my username what to do, I make this face:



Especially as someone who doesn't get all tactical crazy in MP and plays for fun. 

ESPECIALLY when you do try to mic and you get judged/friended/creeped for the sole reason that you are a female. This doesn't go for every game where I have tried to mic but it happens a lot. Adding on to the fact I am Aussie, stuff gets heaps awkward and...  sometimes very sexist.

Thanks. I really appreciate you taking one for the team, there.

I expect co-op to bring the best out of all of us. Really I do.

...or the rustling of sweetie papers, a purring cat, your impression of Michael Jackson, the entire game with an echo, a vibrating mobile phone (I assume)...

lol....but...yeah.

Oh, but at the OP. One of the reasons I'm not interested in turning on the mic is because I don;t actually want to hear you yelling in all caps w/ 5 exclamation points.

I don;t wanna hear it. Alot of ppl have difficulty dealing w. stressful situations w/out turning into complete jerks. In fact, I find it distracting.

The best teams with or w/out mics, play to their abilities and look out for each other.

Although the turret is a trap

yeah, this is what i find to be true. When it's the most intense is when I'm the most quiet because I'm concentrating

Seriously, do people not know what "co-op" stands for?


Seriously, the number of people who are not mic'ed is just....

If it is a higher percentage of people playing without mics, it is clear that you should accept it, or this is not the game for you.

Same here. Listening to strangers going on with chat like:

"Yo what is this?"
"F***ing noob come on!"
"*whistling*"
"*singing*"
"Yes this gun is deifintely more accurate with a better fire rate...."

Blah, blah, blah.

Mute is my best friend.
