Yeah, no. I can complete a game without consulting three strangers who have absolutely no interest in what I have to say and I honestly don't blame them because the feeling is mutual.

I find (at least for me3), if you need to communicate through the mic, you tend to have lower situational awareness skills.
I always have my mic ready but playing PUGs means a lot of people who can't communicate and/or people in XBL parties who don't bother inviting me so we can coordinate. There are things which would help but are almost impossible to know about other players and when they remain unknown the game can be severely hindered.
For example, Cobras: How many do you have? How many have you used? Are you going to use one to clear the hack point so we can invest it, or should i?
Medi-Gel: How many (again)? Do you need me to run into a group of enemies so far away to revive you or could you just use a gel? Did you have your Cobra equipped before they took you down so that you can get up and take out that mess around you or should I take care of it?
Powers: Do you want to detonate or should I? Could you switch overload targets so that I can do some easier BEs?
Enemies: There are a couple hunters in that room. I'm leading a banshee to you guys. Leave that Atlas alone so we can take out <x> that's closer to us.
If you truly believe that you can have awareness of everything important happening on the map, then you're either fooling yourself, using magic, or possess some awesome tech/software that reveals things to you that you shouldn't otherwise be able to see.

This cracks me up. I've played this game since the very beginning and play mostly PUGS when no friends are on and I've rarely ever had a problem with lack of teamwork.UEG Donkey wrote...
I don't really care, you can't coordinate with mutes and they aren't dependable in the sense that you can't get a confirmation of "yes I'll cast Reave on that Atlas so you can shockwave and get a BE." So you sort of depend on yourself rather than the team when dealing with mutes. They also aren't dependable in doing objectives or really pulling their weight on the team. Actually typing this response makes me hate mutes.
I have two month old twins that sleep next to me while I play go figure they don't mind if I talk while they sleep, so I have a life and family too but that doesn't really address any of my points does it? If I run a Turian Sentinel you can't you tell in the lobby whether I have him speced for Overload or Warp just by looking at him, can you? That's one reason why you might need a mic. In ALL cases players without mics can't be depended on; I've never played with someone without a mic that I knew he was going to pull an objective or clear a hack circle with a missle why because I'm not a mindreader.Xerorei wrote...

Be more judgemental and narrow minded would you please?
I don't have a mic, one of my daughters broke it, on top of that we have a seven month old son.
Walls are thin in this house, using a mic WILL wake him up, he likes my voice, go figure.
So real lfie presents me with limitations and I work around it, I don't NEED a mic to figure out what you're doing, I can look at a team setup in a lobby and figure out what I should switch to.
Reading your response makes me hate elitist jerks with microphones, guess what buddy you're not that awesome.
I play gold and platnium, without a mic, and do awesome, I don't need one, but maybe you're so bad that you need voice communication instead of using your brain to figure things out in a fast manner.
Also, people with mics that don't have it on PTT, don't put the mic next to your mouth so your exhalations trigger it, also I don't want to hear your damn desk or room fan, I also don't want to hear your Russian TV news broadcast, I don't want to hear you talking with your girlfriend for the entire match either.
Man just typing this makes me hate people with mics!

SWANK
I've done my share of gold with no communication, too. That doesn't make your statement about "lower situational awareness" anything close to true, nor does it make no-mic play the ideal to which we should aspire.Omega2079 wrote...

You don't need to know their medi-gel count, etc to win at the game. Sure a mic helps, but they're are not vital.
I've completed many gold and a few platinum games with no mics on the whole team, with ease.
You also don't need a mic for teamwork. You can see what others are doing, know what capabilities of theirs work well with yours. When you understand the mechanics of the game, a mic isn't a vital asset.

90% of the games I play we get extraction,with no one saying a word. You get your occasional bad squad but for the most part when the crap hits the fan the team tends to synergize. At least thats been my experience.

On high difficulties, I have trouble hitting the Xbox guide button and hitting A to accept a party request without dying or hampering the team. Spending 10 seconds recording a voice message is even worse.
Typing is similarly disabling- I wouldn't want to be on a team of typers. I mean, at least you don't get your whole screen blocked while typing, and can cancel if you see a need. But voice is still so much more effective.
