Xbox 360 server is... quiet.

It all has to do with VOIP, since Microsoft Owns Skype they should do a voice venture Voice Chat for the Game. Wouldn't be that bad to implement.

I think we've hit the nail on the head here. The biggest issue here is the terrible voice communication in game. I do own a wireless USB keyboard that works perfectly. However since the only messages I ever see in text chat are the occasional trade I'm not interested in or the random clan attempt at recruiting ( and I'm quite happy with my own) I've never really felt the need to use it. For the most part I hide in private XBL parties with a rotating roster of clan mates and have all but given up on in game communication. Which makes me sad. I'm a decent guy and like to help where I can. But most people who need help have no real way to ask for it. So I'm left juggling several clan groups of 8 players each without any way to speak with all my friends at once.

So basically... Fix in game chat please!

This is not acceptable! There is the mute button for a reason.

There are just so many people to mute, it isn't worth all the heartache.

Edit: also hello fellow Ohioan!

Awesome! I thought I was the only buckeye around here. GO BUCKS!

I guess you just have to look for the right clan. Mine is pretty active and we interact with everyone in the clan that wants to be social, which is just about everyone. Check us out.

Yes. I agree with this.

people grow up, and get tired of having to take 10 minutes out of each game they play, each match, to mute the screaming, babbling nonsense coming from the pre-teen xbox "community" .... but there is much more going on here.. not only have people gotten tired of the type of consumer who plays on xbox, but tired of paying extra to play online. I am sure also they are tired of paying $60 for a game that doesn't last more than a few hours.. and what good is decent voice chat when a game can barely support more than 10 players in a room before the lagfest begins and it becomes unplayable?

also.. they may seem quiet to the OP because of a simple fact.. xbox live participants are actually the smallest group of online users, among all platforms/systems....... less people= less communication... further divide the small community that is xbox live by the region lock.. and you have a very isolated demographic.

I haven't read through the whole thread so sorry if somebody has already said this, people can use any old usb keyboard with xbox, just plug in and it's good to type away.

* Hearing half conversations between multiple people on the same mic
* High pitched child voices
* Awkward singing
* "Tough guy" teenagers
* Hearing someones awful music
* Coughing, sneezing, belches etc
* Conspiracy theorists
* Religious preaching
* Racial and sexual bigotry

Yeah, I personally haven't wanted any part of the Xbox Live community in a while.

1. No one wants to mess around with a virtual keyboard, and many people don't have the controller keyboard.
2. My clan doesn't know how to shut the hell up. And I'm pretty sure we were the ones who broke the clan chat last week because it was working fine.
3. The reason why I don't bother putting my mic in while playing solo on BF3 is because I have horrid memories of the morons who did nothing but complain/scream while playing CoD 4.

Who really wants to listen to... " OMG! I SHOT YOU, i F****** SHOT YOU!" "F*** YOU F****** HACKER F**** FACE!"

I see you meet my little brother...
