Nice double negative, TornadoFlame.
I, too, have been waiting for this issue to come to light. I feel as though the limited chat capabilities have really been detrimental to the overall Halo 4 gaming experience. How am I expected to enjoy an assassination if I can't be sure my opponent (who is currently being thrown down to the dirt) can hear me as I tell him "I hope you like the taste of steel" ?
RedStarRocket91 mentions that all players can chat pre-game; however, I think this is not the case - and Justin's brilliant point with this thread. Perhaps because my account has a remarkably negative rating with a large amount of responses saying they do not prefer playing with me due to trash talking, I am no longer able to communicate with everyone pre-game. This really is counter productive after I worked so hard to get that reputation on my account - what is this? North Korea?
Halo 3 certainly had a great facet to it's game which has been unjustifiably stripped away from its successors. For this reason I have a suggestion for the developers responsible for future updates; add in a "Little Baby Girl" setting which is optional for each player. When enabled this setting will prevent you from speaking or hearing other plays during your gaming experience. I would also suggest this setting be set to "Off" by default as most of the gaming community would agree with Justin, TornadoFlame, and I (I still don't know whose side RedStarRocket91 is on...). In addition perhaps you can also have a setting for "People that take gaming too seriously" which when enabled turns on only team talk so tactics can be discussed.
I hope this suggestion does not fall upon deaf ears.
