I always have it on. Once in a while the rainbow vomiting unicorn will make an appearance and we actually coordinate usefully. But that's not the real reason. One- I don't use the radial much. I will mention something that needs attention or politely (this is key lest you call down nerd rage lightning upon your head) mention where I am going. I find I get pretty good results. Two- To lay the smackdown on the occasional jackass.

It boggles the mind that in a team based game so many people would default to disabling the primary means of cooperation and team work, simply to avoid the arduous task of muting the random annoying players.
3 games last night went amazingly well because multiple strangers used their headsets effectively. It was beautiful. So what if you have to mute a few players to get that, and actively using voice chat is the only way to continue to promote teamwork. "I never use voice chat because no one plays as a team anyway and randos are annoying." pretty flimsy logic. Want to improve the quality of the in game population? Use your headset, add everyone that works well as a team to your friends list, and grow the community from there.

I alwayshave game chat on and headset in 99% of the time. solo or not! i tell my toonies to get into game chat and teach these scrubs how to properly use communication and teamwork where necessary. Going solo and such I'm always running my mouth because nobody else is. sometimes I cann get outta hand but usually I'm relaying important information wheich keeps my team focused on important stuff such as falling flanks and defending the base or pushing harder on one side and what needs to be shot. It helps a lot and doesn't on others. but helps more tha it hurts because hey, i got a 65% win% for a reason and it might be a factor. codependant communication FTW

No offense meant, just explaining that what might be good for some players will be annoying for some. I'm very trigger happy on the mute in game chat, social stuff and cheering/cursing shots are for party imo. As soon as i hear anything else than actual info about the current game i quickly press mute.

good for you guy. go mute someone else who might give a damn. I don't mind getting muted but I don't like fuckers who want to announce it to the world as some sort of self righteous justification. understandable if someone is blaring music or being loud and obnoxious but not my team play speech.

There's team play speech and team play speech, i guess we have different views on what it actually is. Anyway this "fucker" apologizes for posting without thinking, i should have left the first part out but done is done.

I leave game chat muted too. It's mostly knuckleheads farting, burping, yelling at each other while they camp, etc. I'm sure it's also kept me from ever getting a comms ban too. I ran over 12k battles without a headset and I still enjoyed the game. I much prefer platoon chat.

I usually have it on. Lately I have regretted that decision.
I mute anyone not discussing the match. However, I must admit I can't help respond to the idiots sometimes. When I hear something just so stupid, I try to give some real advice. Usually it doesn't end well as those players aren't interested in the truth.
The latest from last week: A guy in chat complaining at the start about his ELC AMX getting into +3 matchmaking. I tried to explain how scout matchmaking works. He wanted to hear none of it. Another guy then started complaining about +4 matchmaking. To which I tried to explain what a fail platoon is. He didn't want to hear it either. Nope. They both agreed that WG fixes the games before hand and the only way to fix matchmaking was to spend money.

I mute my mic so I don't get banned for cursing someone out. If they trying to use my tank for cover and preventing me from doing what I want to do, I unmute on and chew them out. I try not to give people advice in games.
I mute anyone who doesn't speak English, uses a kinect mic, squeakers, or anyone who won't stop talking.

There is plenty of burping, farting and yelling our platoons snore, most of which comes from FootTall of course, you just can't take him anywhere If you want advice on how to get a comms ban, you have come to the right place I agree about game chat. Just full of idiots spouting bollocks, nut jobs humming away and really bad music (worse than the spice girls)

If I'm solo, I'm in a party of one. I use a headset for game sound anyway, so no matter what I have it on. Will not enter game chat though.

I've never participated in game chat. Every time I hear to it, it's just people getting mad/arguing amongst each other. I don't wanna get a headache by trying to talk to people who're irrationally angry in game. If it gets bad enough, I'll just mute them.

If you want to hear some of the dumbest shit ever, use game chat. It's always someone bitching, singing or just talking out their ass. A lot of times, I'll start a party just to be out of game chat.
Speaking of people talking out their ass...Andy...you off your two week comms ban today??
