We should all have at least some level of class and consideration. It is just a videogame after all. I personally do not tolerate any of that low-brow Jerry Springer type of stuff, in gaming or otherwise. The longer each of us makes excuses and laughs it off as 'trivial' the worse things will get. We all have a conscience. Listen to it.

tl;dr
people are overly sensitive, you can choose to mute them or turn off  voice volume.

I have mine plugged in at all times, just a matter if I wanna talk at all. I use it when I was playing with friends or if I need to tell someone to get to the objective, or in "oh crap" moment.

When playing with certain friends, the moment one of joins it's "sup ****, revive me noob, get the F over here before I ***** ***** ***** *** ***

I'm on PC and have played a lot of pugs. Maybe 2% of them actually involved a person with a mic and actually using it. Not once have I come across someone acting like that, although there was some guy speaking French so I have no idea what he was saying but it didn't sound hostile.

I do have a mic myself but have it set to push-to-talk, the most I've used it recently is to thank someone for a rez, which is about all I hear from other people.

Wow, the closest to thing to "abuse" I've experienced on PC would be my friend singing.
Sorry randoms-we-played-with-on-reactor-last-night. Good thing most of the master race is mute.

[AustereLemur799]

People with mics actually distract me - no offence to anyone out there. Talking about objectives and tactics is fine; however, I rarely enter a match with that kind of advice. In fact, if I enter a lobby with people talking, I leave. If I get thrown into the middle of match where people are talking; I always think 'oh no'.

Is there actually a quick way to mute them on xbox? The push-to-talk system on PC sounds very sensible.

I just really don't get why people would use homophobic, racist or sexist comments. They advise not to revive a certain player because they're gay, a certain race or gender. They also relentlessly goad a certain team-member to leave because they're one (or all) of the former.

I apologise for going on about this; I just really feel strongly about it. The concept of using mics to share tactics is iniatially a good one, but it is all-too-easily abused.

I suppose that I'm not really making a good point here. There's no point in asking people to be nicer. All the people who have replied on here seem to be nice people. The bad experiences I've had are from a minority group who clearly skirt the other side of the law.

I guess that all I'd ask is that people help keep things civil. The chance to talk to people from around the world is amazing.

All in all, thanks for reading and responding - if anything this will help to raise awareness a little.

No, you are making a good point, but some people are going to be jerks no matter what you do, and that sucks.

We communicate telepathically, you know that.

[mybudgee]

@Lemur: i recommend just muting all PuGs who have a blue speaker icon next to their gamertag. This will help. Maybe you should expand your friend list a bit too?

[Shinnyshin]

I've had perhaps...1 overwhelmingly negative experience and one mildly negative one. I've probably been quite lucky, given the dozen or two positive experiences I've had, but man one of those negatives was really, really, really foul.

Probably helps that I play primarily with premades and we're all competent. We tend to queue as 3 and pick up an especially fun random every now and then who proceeds to queue with us for the rest of the night.

[XPERIA_Z]

Bad when always on.

Oh and Lemur; one more thing. I have no mic. They're for suckers

[P51Mus7ang]

I prefer players with mic's especially newer players that are asking for help, it's hard to have a one way communication, on platinum it's very helpful and IMHO makes the game go easier, all in all it's not critical.

In pugs it's rare I come across one's with a mic and it's very, very rare I hear one that is abusive, maybe three that come to mind, I simply left, the abuse was not towards me but others. Keep in mind it's the internet, a massive place and like life you will run into all kinds, just move on.

I never experienced any insults or harassment.
I see quite a few who smack talk at each other through the text chat though.
(different games, of course)

[DragonRacer]

Gotta say, in my 400+ hours on this game (and however many I spent on Motorstorm back in the day), I have literally never been abused over the mic. Not once. And I am a female gamer, so that's supposed to attract the crazies like moths to a bug zapper, but not for me, apparently. PS3, by the way.

To me, there seems to be three type of mic users:

1. Those who are amusing and know when to talk and when not to (i.e. they don't try to play 20 Questions during the Wave 10 London hack).

2. Those who think they are amusing and believe that, despite the fact they are the only person in the room using a mic, people want to hear their running commentary and/or their obnoxiously loud music/screaming baby/yelling significant other, etc.

3. Those with the mic symbol on, but utter silence the entire match anyway.

[Ziegrif]

In the magical land of the PC no one talks.
It's like playing with a buncha bots.
I'll take that to the XBOX 9 year old screeching abominations yelling at the top of their lungs alternative.

[The-Fantasm]

I don't use my mic unless I'm playing with friends.

[Kalas Magnus]

The best thing aboot playing online is that you can mute them.

That's what I do when I run into caineghis now. Always blabbers on and on.

Mic with voice activation or button activation = Good

Mic with allways on enabled = Bad, no love from me.

I wish I could mute people on pc...most of the times those russians keep talking the entire match...I have to tone down the volume and as a result I often get grabbed/stabbed by banshees/phantom which I didn't hear 

yeah

they should do a better job next game

iirc in cod all you have to do is hit back and then x on their name.so much easier 

[Docwagon1776]

They are awesome, as its the only way to mute idiots on the PS3.

Anyone who makes an online game for consoles and doesn't include a way to mute individuals is dramatically unaware of the online gaming community.

Start an Xbox LIVE Party, set it to invite only and stay in party chat.
