Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD Jesus christ. And here I was thinking that they were only screwing over the PC players. Maybe I won't ever get the game now. I can still play CoD4 if I want any CoD from now on. I don't think many of the original people are working at IW anymore. That's the only explanation for how out of touch with reality they are now. First no real co-op, then no dedicated servers and $60 for PC version, now no party chat (*WHICH WE ARE PAYING FOR*) for 360? WTF?
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD I actually like the idea. It will make things a lot more intense. I'm sure they'll have a better implementation than just blocking it the whole time you're in SnD.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD Wow, just read the thread it was originally posted in and found this: http://www.justin.tv/clip/51466a0a7678d0bb Holy shit that looks terrible. Are you kidding me? Any nub that picks up that shit will just go straight to the top of the score list. He was literally just holding down the trigger! Imagine if that guy was any good. Quote to go along with that video (from this thread)...
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD Didn't get to see the video, but nobody else should be any good at this point either.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD "...someone could just pick up a phone if they really wanted to cheat." 'Nuff said. It's not about cheating though. If you're playing with your friends, you want to be able to talk to them and ignore all the stupid retards on your team screaming in your ear.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD CoD4 MW was played exactly like this if you do not all remember. Zbox didnt have party chat back than, and in fact CoD 4 didnt even have a smooth mute feature. To be honest, it had its pros and cons. Pro was it was intense and fun, con little kids. The shit talkers I didnt mind, it was fun to trash talk and mess them up. It really encouraged us to play our best, coach meenoy, and the others... All you have to do is mute who you want to mute, and invite who you want to play with... easy as that. Not that big of a deal. Killing party chat is somewhat necessary, as it can be exploited in competitive play. I am sure this will get lifted or just be for matches.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD I guess they don't want anyone to buy their game. Nice to know it's not just PC gamers getting screwed though.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD K a few things: - Removing party chat feature is retarded (lets just get that out of the way). I pay for it. I want to be able to use it whenever I want. IW nor any other developer should be dictating control over a feature I am paying for separately. They gonna disable my cell phone too so I can't "cheat"? - Welcome to the early days of competitive PC gaming. CS implemented this fantastic thing called "FADE TO BLACK" which... does exactly what it sounds like after you die. You can't spec. Even if you were in vent there was no way to help your team mates other than shutting up so they can hear the enemy's footsteps. If they are so concerned with cheating they need to do fade to black and not this cockamamie bullshit. All they are doing is pissing people off. - Muting? Yeah fucking right. Doing this bullcrap under the guise of making random people work together (which will rarely ever happen) may seem noble, but it isn't. People are going to mic spam just as much, if not worse. And this comes back to... Sorry, if I want to play a game in silence I'll play a game OFFLINE. If I want to play any game solo and talk to people who aren't playing that game at the same time, THAT IS MY RIGHT. IW has no business, again, dictating what I can and can't do. I'm really sick of their God complex. Even Blizzard isn't this hotheaded. I'd rather go back to playing WoW than playing this piece of crap. At least they thank me while taking my money, rather than spit in my face.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD Fade to black would be perfect, but I am sure people woudl bitch that they couldnt see the action. ALTHOUGH i agree this would be dope. haha I remember CS fade to black... was always a raw gut feeling... please win team please win.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD Now THAT was intense. Really made you not want to die early in the round. I still stared at the black screen like something was going to happen.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD Ya, seriously the very "cheating" they are combating is only really an issue for league play... and that's where fade to black needs to be anyway. No casual or casual-pro gamers are really going to care if 4-5 people on the other team are talking in a party. Speaking of which though, you'd have to be really coordinated anyway if you're going to be useful in guiding your teammates to where other people are... cause you can't spec the enemy team anyway... This move only truly benefits clans that play together. It's just a spit in the face for everyone else. I am NOT ok with having to sit in silence cause I muted my entire team for mic spam/ignorance.
Re: No Party chat in MWF2 SnD they will probably implement this just for league or match play, player controlled/created games. i think most of this is speculation up to this point as IW hasn't confirmed any of it. on that note, i find i am hard pressed to criticize or judge them harshly for this move (whether true or false). I feel IW has proved themselves time and again. They deserve more concession for their decisions and choices than all the other bs no name publishers, who have received concessions from members of this board. i wouldn't get all bent out of shape brendan, they are not out to get YOU. They are making a quality game that will PLEASE way more people than they upset (which is a minor minor portion of the gaming population bitching and moaning).
