I always listen to music when playing, so my mic isn't usually plugged in.

 

But if some people are talking about game mechanics or general stuff, I'll plug in and speak.

 

With friends, it depends - if they talk, I talk.

Mic on:

 

- playing with friends

- pugs saying thank you or being polite. I always respond to them in kind. 

 

Mic off: 

 

- pugging and nobody else is talking or they're having a conversation I want no part of

- playing with friends who I know have mics who aren't using them. that sh*t is corny, 5ive. 

- friends talking about something I know nothing about. y'all can have dat.

On if friends are talking, off if friends arent talking and if playing with random people.

Interesting perspectives all. Here in Europe, the chance of having several people in a game sharing a mutually intelligible language is relatively low, so the mic mostly stays off.

 

If people are talking I'm fine with that, but if they yell or have feedback or awful music playing, then I plug my headset in but leave the volume right down and the mike off.

Most of the time I am not interested in using the in game functionality, so I will not use it.  With friends I use TeamSpeak.

 

I make exceptions occasionally in random games if something is getting completely out of hand.

I forgot to mention that I sometimes turn it on to politely remind PUGs to "Get in the ******" hack!!!".

If they are scorewh*ring elsewhere, I go to their location and use a missile to clean up all the enemies and get back to the hack. 

 

On one such occasion, a pug started hurling insults at me - totally worth it

Always with friends
Never with randoms
50/50 during solos.

50/50 with friends-you mute a lot.  But I know you are listening...

 

I never solo, but ditto.

I always have my mic plugged in, I don't always talk but I have it plugged in anyway. If it's off it means that I'm having hardware issues. Only difference b/w when playing with friends and pugs when it comes to being on the mic- Voice activated with friends, push to talk with pugs.

Pretty much the same here.I just have to check what it's set to every day as well.

I have forgot to set it to push to talk a few times.I apologize to the general public for that,and you're welcome for the show .

The default position is off and it stays there for most of the time.
Not for any particular reason; usually it's because the rest of the lobby is silent, or because I just don't feel like talking.
Also because sometimes I hum or sing to myself and I could see that being really annoying to everyone with the misfortune to hear it.

Sometimes when someone is being a coch(lear implant) over their mic I'll briefly switch mine on to laugh at them.
Usually that goes over better when I'm playing a Shockwave kit, to really get my point across.

[didacuscarr]

Mine's always on.

[StoxRegalia]

I don't talk much and I'm usually playing by myself, so my mic is turned off.
 
I did try to be more social last year and I bought a mic and everything, but it didn't work out. I never knew what to say when I was in a party or people kept pushing me to talk and it just made me feel really uncomfortable. :/

Just do what I do. Never talk about yourself and say the first insult that comes to mind. For some reason people will think you're friendly.

[bondiboy]

Mic always on in "push to talk"  mode but no one talks on PC in Pugs .

 

The occassional whinger or self appointed expert in stategy has a chat but they are usually ignored .

 

Its usually just a "thanks" if I get revived and the odd headbut and thats about it.

[the_last_krogan]

mic always plugged in and turned on 

so everyone can hear the reggae music

Not exactly true reggae, but here's what came to mind:

Awesome. I'll try this .

I love this idea. I might just steal it. Much better than quietly being annoyed. Though today I did kite a banshee around the map in the opposite direction and watched her impale the fool. I made sure to move around so I was facing him and just stood and watched. Of course it was wave 10 and I'm not sure if the message got through.

On topic, mostly quiet in pugs except for polite thanks or letting them know I'm trying to get there to revive them. With friends - the mic is on though I may be quiet. Depends on the flow of the party.

I keep my mic off cause my kids are noisy.

What in game functionality is there? Please explain?

[PresidentVorchaMasterBaits]

i don't have a mic. so that solves everything. however, in the long long ago when i had a working mic i only used it with fwendz.

I think he meant the in-game voip. I don't know how it is on consoles, but on PC It's influenced pretty heavily by lag and has a nasty tendency to randomly break up mid sentence. For me it's more of an annoyance but for some it's game breaking.
