I need to be able to mute certain teammates. whether its because of that god awful muffling, hearing their dog barking constantly or them swearing constantly, it has to happen.

I would ask for a volume control on player voice separate from in game commentary as well.

Not sure which platform you're playing on, but if it's Xbox you can go onto their gamer profile and permanently mute them.

PC there is no way that I'm aware of to do it but I have yet to have anyone swearing, only problem I've seen is open mic and somebody is chewing or you can hear their speakers so everything that happens has an echo.

If you're already in the game, you take a minute to press the Middle Button > Friends > press Right twice to Players (# Online) > select the offender's name > Mute all the way at the bottom.

It's tedious.. but it makes the game significantly better.

just have to find which person is the annoying one. Bioware needs to get with the rest of the multiplayer games and add the feature when you pause the game. Tired of hearing people talking on their phone or just general ****ing

i use a mic but i have it set to press a button to talk, mostly incase a banshee or other things sneak up on teammates i warn them, or if a teammate has fallen i ask if anyone is reviving them, i dont see the point of just waffling on over the mic, and swearing should kick players :(

Would be nice if there was a userlist on the screen with animated speaker icons next to them, so we know who's talking at any given time. All my games are randoms, so everyone is a stranger. Being able to easily mute people would be great, too. Had a match this morning before work, and there was a little French kid that was obviously unaware that he was broadcasting. Played fine, but it was a constant stream of chatter that really didn't fit the moment, and I didn't have a large enough time window to go back to the lobby to hunt for different partners.

I mean c'mon man, seriously, this post needs a bump.

On Xbox360, everything's fine, you can mute people from the friend list or whatever, but for us PS3 and PC users, we are still -forced- to listen to (examples may vary) :
- That kid's mom telling her son to go to sleep and start argue for the entire game
- That guy coughing up his lungs/shoving his mic/bluetooth down his throat
- That boy's phone call with his bro
- Those two, three, ten, twenty-five people sitting in the same room playing Mass Effect on one TV set, eating, drinking, laughing, shouting etc.
- That preadolescent who comments on EVERY SINGLE MOVE he makes in the game
- That dog in the backyard
- Traffic sounds coming from that guy's OPEN window in NYC
- That music
- Our own voice/game sounds coming from that guy's speakers relayed into his microphone because he is either deaf and has his volume up to maximum or he is blind and sits 3" away from the screen.


I mean it's fine, you wanna broadcast to every person out there what you are saying, or that you listen to metal, or that you're being yelled at by your mom, or maybe you just like to know that we can hear you breathing on that piece of equipment that can record sounds, it's your choice man.
It should also be our choice not to have to.
And no, I'm not going to turn off the voice chat because I actually use it with other friends and players, and if you don't wanna listen to me and my buddies setting up strategies, fine, you should be able to mute us.
Can you ?
No.

Hate or love the MW series, they still had an in game mute option, accessible from the multiplayer lobby or just by accessing the scoreboard.

I mean, really, is it -that- hard to implement ?

And for the lurking trolls who always come up with the "if-it's-so-easy-why-don't-you-create-a-game-that's-so-big-and-successful-and-make-your-own-changes" BS, we're talking about a mute button, not a way to interface your mind and the game by means of astropathic guru telekinesis voodoo, we're talking about something that's been used all over other multiplayer games.

I didn't realize it was that bad. Most I've ever had was someone calling out my name or something. Not sure what for.

I have my mic muted as well as my multiplayer volume set to 0 in the Coalesced file. Doesn't work. I can still hear people.

And this is why I have voice chat disabled for PUGs and use TS for playing with my friends.

Granted, having admin rights on the TS so I can actually kick someone who is all OM NOM NOM SLURP MUFFLE NOM SLURP in their mic is nice, too.

It's stupid that there isn't a mute option. I don't want to have to mute my sound completely because some 8 year old left his mic plugged in and I can hear him screaming at his mom or his dog.

I agree, I was playing a match where there was this family who switched between English and Spanish in speaking, and the mic was with these two little kids who were arguing over a barbie car and started calling each other silly names. They cried a lot. And were purposly laughing really loud into the mic.
I thought it was quite funny listening to the name calling, but that quickly stopped and it became kinda annoying...I wanted to mute the tv, but then I wouldn't hear the brutes sneaking up behind me >.<

For the PC, there's a voice slider under options. It will turn off all voice chat in the game for you.

No way.

You absolutely NEED to hear me scream "AMERICA" into my mic every time I do a biotic charge with my red-white-and-blue Krogan. The game won't accept anything less..!

I am that guy that sings random songs and cuss profusely. However, I am a team player that revives and responds to team when things get dicey. Mulitplayer on Gold is essential for teams to communicate. I prefer some guy/girl on the other end of the mic to be chewing his food or whatever at least I can try to spark a conversation.

Edit: I also provide psoitive reinforcement and heads up of enemies for the guy/guuuurl who is last man standing.

This. I simply don't have time to spend 35-40 seconds wading through the XBox's laggy menus to mute someone. Give some purpose to the "pause" screen Bioware!

There has to be an in-game kick option as well.

On PC hardly anyone uses voice chat because PC gamers are used to text chat in online games. BioWare left that out for some reason so most matches have no communication between players whatsoever.

I can think of one bad experience with voice spam and that was continuous audio from a porn video.

It gets so bad on PS3... I just power up the bluetooth headset, set to mute, then put it away.

Xbox players can always create a party chat.
