343 Industries,
I would like to respectfully and humbly request that you include an "Open Mic" format in the "Map Selection" menu of the MCC.
In Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach, you were able to talk with the entire room, teammates AND opposing team members, in the "Map Selection" menu before the match started.
This allowed for a tremendous amount of fun, increased the level of competition, and made the game that followed much more exciting in so many ways. The great jokes, the songs, the trash talking, the different accents... it was always fantastic.
It's an example of what people realized long ago: communication makes all things better.
Please don't restrict us from talking to the other team, or to each other, in the "Map Selection" menu. If you want this to be the return to "The Glory Days", then this is a required part of that effort.
I truly appreciate your time and consideration.
