So they bought a mic? 

Well, no they wouldn't...
You do get a mic with a new xbox and most laptops have one built in though

 I would like to talk, but my mic won't allow me. "He" and the Mass effect game don't seem to like each other. <_< And I'd like to talk, especially for saying thanks to people reviving me, or good game or something.

I always have my headset on and I do enjoy listening to legitimate random conversations between people, even in Russian. But if it's obvious that the randoms are vocalising just to get attention, I mute them. I like listening, but I don't join any random conversations with strangers, only if they seem nice and genuinely wanting better teamwork in the game.

yeah the problem (on xbox at least) is you get these overly hostile 'bro' types that insult anyone who doesn't fit into their extremely narrow set of standards.
I usually just leave lobbies with those people in them.
Wish I could stumble across some of these "nice and genuinely wanting better teamwork" people

Well, PC is always silent.
However if you talk to me, I will reply.
Unless you do like some weird dude a couple weeks ago that started screaming "WOOOO!! WOOO!!" and then left lol... that was... very odd.

My mic will usually be plugged in, but I forget to turn it on and just end up talking to myself the whole match.

I sometimes speak to give warnings about things... though sometimes they don't listen.

They are shy, maybe?

Once you get used to your prefered difficulty, mics really aren't needed. The whole need to strategize is honestly overrated. In more dynamic pvp games like Battlefield or Halo than yes mics help, but the enemies in ME3 tend to follow the same behavior, so as long as you don't develop tunnel vision and occasionally check your flanks you will come out fine if you simply work as a team, which you don't need a mic to do.

Most of the people who use mics on xbox I end up muting simply because most of the time it usually ends up with insults or hearing the persons' sound system.

I will listen if someone talks to me or asks me to do something, but I really don't enjoy talking in PUGs.  I'm also a female and would prefer to avoid any harasssment/ stereotyping (I'm a strong player and usually top PUG gold matches).

Wireless mic. I turn it on and throw it on my bed. I'v had too many people play their terrible music through their mic for my liking.

And a constant stream of rather predictable obscenities, in some cases targeted at certain players. I don't approve of that kind of ragging, however someone is playing.

My voice is just too sexy and distracts teamates. My voice is a cross between Barry White, Clint Eastwood, Art Garfunkle and Dean Martin with a little bit of Irish/Croation brogue in there as well.

I would talk but in randoms my experience has been less than satisfying. I'll usually get on my mic if I'm the only one in the hack circle and no one gives a crap about the money. I had to do that a couple times and I didn't like having to do that. Obviously people are too concentrated on their own damn score to even know that a failed objective results in a failed game. Not to mention when my voice goes through the mic all the randoms think I'm some pre-teen boy. Flipping hate that. That's why whenever I'm doing randoms I'm usually in party chat with my friends or I just have my mic off completely.

[Archonsg]

I usually say hi and ID myself if asked, but usually, met with silence, someones all speaking Russian? maybe, or French and or bad mic discipline. /shrugs

[Kenshen]

I unpluged my mic cause I was getting some nasty static and feedback. I have already bought 3 headsets this year and I am not going to buy another.

[Shadow Shep]

I am dragonborn. Surely you can understand why I don't use a mic.

Glad to know Im not the only one who feels this way...I do not like being pegged as a weaker player simply because I am of the female gender...In fact I had one person actually tell me to stay off the xbox and get back in the kitchen, yeah that made me feel great...But it got revenge! He couldn't hold his own and kept falling, it felt good to not pick him back up and bleed out and watch the rest of our team finish the wave without him. But that experience kind of ruined talking for me, Im not playing to have someone degrade me...

why don't people use their mics? i get more communication and teamwork on b/s than on g/p and that's rather sad. it's boring to spend an entire game or multiple games with a group of people who won't communicate or stratagize.

becuase you touch yourself at night :innocent:

but in seriousness lots of reasons

1) language barrier
2) self consious about voice
3) no mic
4) a kid whos parent won't let them
5) a kid who is afraid of ebing harassed
6) a girl afraid of being harassed
7) lots of background noise going on
8) they don't want to

Meh. I have my mic on, though I did not for a while. Mind you, I didn't have much to say until I found myself being the Extraction Mum ("15 seconds to extraction... fall back to the LZ") in silver and bronze matches.

If someone got their bacon saved in a particularly tight spot, there might be a quick exchange of "thanks/no problem". And if I died in a particularly bad spot, I'd wave people off so whatever killed me might move off and I could get up myself in a few. I had one game with Russians where the only thing we understood in common were each others names and "phantom!"

Eventually something funny would happen, and then people would talk more and friend lists might get updated.

There is a surprising lack of nozzles on ME3 MP - well..I've been surprised, anyway. Not all multiplayer shooters can say the same. So far in ME3 I've only had a couple of guys get stupid in chat, and one German guy who wouldn't stop singing "American Girl"... badly.

There were a few matches that I just dropped out of because someone was audio polluting the match by chain-belching, leaving their celly next to the mic and getting texts and calls every other minute while it blared it's bad ring tone over the chat audio.

Now I generally play with friends more than in PUGs, and half of them I met in ME3 Teamspeak lobbies. But I still have the mic on push to talk in games.... just in case someone needs an extraction reminder or doesn't see the geth pyro about to light them up.

You never know - might pick up another friend.

sorry to hear that some of you have had effed up experiences with it, i have too, but i don't let it get me down or ruin my gaming experience

[Lafinman]

I've played this a lot on the 360 and never met anyone that fits the stereotypical XBL user playing this game. Much unlike other games.

Everyone I've played with who was talking was fun to play with. I always have mine hooked up, but muted so people don't hear me coughing and yelling at my cat. If someone wants people talking I'll flip it on, but once you're dialed in to your comfort zone of playing communication isn't that important.

Granted most people are in Party's. Especially since it's easy to invite party members to the game. And once and while you get the Kinect user who doesn't know it doubles as the Voice mic so you hear some poor guy getting a match in while watching the kids.

I'm not a talker myself and have difficulty speaking and constructing english sentences, especially quick responses. But I do reply if i hear a question or suggestion. I also
watch my teammate's surrounding when in spectator mode and give warnings.
My mic is always plugged in but it was set to "push to talk".

[darkpassenger2342]

if more people shut off their mics when they werent talking with teammates, instead of breathing heavy, burping, using the phone, listenin to loud music, conversing with the wife about which laundry she should do next etc, id be more apt to pick mine up and use it....
the mics were made for in game communication, not for that person to literally be in my living room.

One of the main reasons why I even got a headphone with a mic - so I can turn down chat volume separately from the game volume.

I am not opposed to actual game talk, but the few talking going on, like many people have already stated, is unbearable. Before I could put the others on mute, I once even had to listen to a guy "fighting" (verbal) with his mom or girlfriend, who was complaining that he should stop playing video games, since he is a grown man and all .... ok, it was funny, but not what I wanna listen to during a match.

So if you ever run across me and wonder why I am not responding, I am not hearing you most of the time.I have chat sound on when I start playing, but just turn it down as soon as I hear wortless blabbering and put myself on mute.
