Don't worry, "I'll wipe your manifest if you don't come into the hack-circle" is usually a dead giveaway

On topic - I use voice chat all the time on PC, especially when playing with friends. With randoms usually only when I need to, for instance when I'm the only one in the hack-circle. Maybe got a bit dishearted when someone I played a match with said he loved my funny German accent

I talk all the time even when people tell me to shut up in my face

It seems like maybe only 1 in 10 games will I hear anyone say anything. But only once in all my games had anyone replied to them. It seems like no one is using it 

Bronze and Silver are easy enough so no mics needed.

Gold's a little hard but no mics needed so long as the team knows what they're doing.

I have one I just don't ever see the need of using it.

Unless you're on my friends list you're muted by default. I know it's bad of me but far too many games in the past have shown me that it's not worth the headache- **** this & that, mother f@&$cker this, insert racial epithet here- just a nightmare. I'm sometimes tempted to turn it on when I come across great teammates, but never do.

[Ziegrif]

I used to use it... not it doesn't work.

[skan5]

I have to almost yell and speak slowly for people to understand me if I attempt to use the built in voice chat, so I don't bother with it anymore unless it's reaally important. Lack of volume control for it is also a downer, 'cause sometimes you get people barely audible and other times it's an "OH GOD MY EAR D:" moment.

I was normally on vent with a friend anyways, but since he basically stopped playing I'm never on any form of voice comm anymore.

I only works for max 50% of PC users. And even then the audio quality and mixing is so poor that it is nearly impossible to hear what others are saying. Thus no one speaks in PC random groups; there is just no point. With friends I use mumble.

You need to have at least 3 people in the group who don't have strict NAT or have turned UPNP on or forwarded UDP port 3659 manually to their PC and configured their firewall to accept incoming connections or you will have people who can't hear each other. Host will ALWAYS hear everybody but other peers may have problems hearing each other.

Thats not the full story either. If you have TS, Mumble or Skype running when you start ME3 your mic will be completely dead. All things combined can be simplied to: "Voice chat does not work on the PC platform. Hence no one uses it".

[Yigorse]

I use it every now and then, usually to question people's choice in build (Are you SURE you want to take a Widow on your Novaguard? I'm not criticising or anything, but...).

I occasionally get a conversation out of people. Usually the Americans, they seem friendlier than my countrymen...

Yes that's exactly my point. The fact that you need at least 3 people with specific setup to make it work is already troubling. Most of the time there is also to much noise or volume is to low to hear what people are saying. I know that skype can sometimes forward other people conversations through your pc which will generate a lot of traffic on your network (even if you dodn't speak much yourself) and that can interfere with the game so running it in the background while playing is not recommended. I think it's beter to use mumble.

Seems like console players socialize more while PC players only talk to hate.

[Kahlmulandr]

It depends. If I enter a game and someone says hello sure I'll reply back. I'll also give warnings like phantom on your right. But if all I get back is dead silence well then I tend to get quiet myself.

EDIT: Also I'm on PC

[Creston918]

I talk a lot, but few people say anything back. If I play with buddies and we have one or two randoms in the game, however, they tend to join in the general conversation after awhile.

(on PC)

[TMB903]

Yea I do...I love to joke around but I get serious when it's required..PS3 by the way

[dermaryo]

PC version needs text chat.

[Tchu Tchu Tchu Paaaa]

I would like to sing a beautiful song, but my mic is not working....

[valium]

not enough ingame options for the mic, i am apparently always very low even if i raise the volume on my mic outside of the game.

[FictionalBreger]

I usually don't start speaking unless someone has already spoken, either to me or any of the other players. Of course, if there is an imminent attack from behind by an army of Phantoms or something similar, then I cry wolf.

[Tajah Silver-Sparke]

 I have a headset but am female and really shy about talking over the mic.  I usually just listen.  

[AngryBobH]

I have a mic on push to talk. I use it for warnings and such if that is the best solution. push to talk stinks when you are busy with bad guys though. Cant use always on. I use a phantom powered studio condenser mic that picks up ambient noise very well and that would be annoying for other players.

Many PC players mics either just make noise/static or are very quiet. I cant reply to you if I can't hear you. But If its way too loud you get the mute button.

[Bhatair]

Most games get along just fine without having to use the mic. Only every once in a while do I find myself using it. Mostly when the team is hunkered down somewhere and I see a phantom or ravager coming up our flank.

[Golvellius]

Don't have one nor interested in getting one.
If they add a text chat then I may type something, no guarantees.

[Beerfish]

I do but the problem I have is that if I get too worked up in game and at times I will swear too much or curse under my breath and such as if I was playing a single player game much to my own embarrassment.  This usually happens vs the Geth I find as they dodge my biotic attack from 3 feet away while they are facing the other direction, or have their rocket tropper unfailingly shoot me in the face from all over the map.

I did, up until my cat chewed through the headset cords. Now I mostly just keep them plugged in so I don't have to listen to stupid people scream a lot when I get grouped with them.

I have to watch out for this instead of a cat...

destroyed mine the other week. But yea I usually talk when its important like dont res me there are 3 phantoms hanging around or when I bug out with invisible enemies. But other than that its pretty quiet.

[Infinitio]

I seem to have a similar but different problem.

See 2/3 games I join do have people talking but generally all it is is this:
A) Feedback from a TV running in the background (I was guilty of this myself once)
The person never talks to anyone actually in-game you just here them talking to someone else in their room/house and hearing muffled replies back from that person
C) People are all speaking "insert whatever language you don't speak here" and do not speak or understand "insert any and all languages you can speak"

(To be clear I'm not hating on anyone like "zomg everyone should speak English" I'm just saying 90% of the games I get into that are not A or B are C for some reason.)
