So you have a Headset and Mic congrats!
1. Dont play music with the mic on;
I trust you love what ever sound that is but we can hear only half of it and even if its clear we would rather talk then listen to your music so turn the mic off if your gonna jam out.
2. Put your dog, kids, other TV and friends in another room.
No one can here anything through the headset if any of these are making noise and no one wants to here you talk about your child support payments and work out regime (real incidents). This is just like shooting range you just **** people off if you try to bring kids
3. Make sure your mic works;
Everyones been in a game where all you here is garbled crap from one guy who feels its his responsibility to "talk" to the team but not fix his mic
4.Keep idle conversation to minimum;
I know your in a video game with other gamers who love games but when the topic strays to far from "help C, I wish/want that" it gets a bit nauseating to here your hopes and dreams.
5.Once again if your gonna use your mic make sure its not picking up any ambient sound;
The mic and head set is used for a purpose and its to provide a small bit of team work, not to hear any sound from whiny children, animals, machines, music or any other noun. If your wondering why people are redlining and dropping from your team check your mic and if your have some loud sound in the background. YOU LOSE GAMES IF YOU ARE ANNOYING YOUR TEAM BECAUSE THEY WONT TOLERATE ANY OTHER SOUND THEN DUST AND TEAMWORK.

Fin.

You will be a lonely player

2. Put your dog, kids, other TV and friends in another room.

I hate to take things out of context but that is hilarious.

"Hey guys, wanna come over?"
"Yeah, sure!"
-a little while later-
"Good, you're here. Now sit over there, be quiet and LEAVE ME ALONE!" *Slams door*

I refute your rules.

Even with the mic set at it's lowest you can still hear my loud mouth Italian in the Kitchen "Hey Pizon you going to be playing that game all night!!) and heaven forbid I Don't talk or pay attention to her THEN its on LOL

Lol Im not playing this game for the social interaction I get that from real life

You will be a lonely player

This is a social game. You do realize that right?

ROFL you also realize this is a FPS beta that has no text chat, grouping or social interaction besides the few people with mics shouting over that one guys dog who wont shut up and killing each other. Hell I get more social interaction walking my dog then playing Dust, that being said I dont play dust for the social interaction.

Yes lots of chat happens in text chat especially mid battle, since you have to stop everything else to text, I defiantly see all the people you talk to on text chat. Thats sarcasm but seriously until the next build comes with grouping and the like the social functions are vestigial at best, you can claim these are great social functions but in comparison to COD, Halo, or what they said they will add this is the bare minimum that should be in almost every FPS these days. I agree this will be a very social game but untill the randomness of joining games and lack of any semblance of tiered play its is at worst chaos at best a small group that recognizes each other from random games in the past that got randomly put into the same game that have mics and work together. If you enjoy this kind of social interaction eat it up but I prefer actually being with people and Interacting with them, you know in the real world. As much as social media has developed you shouldn't rely on these for any significant portion of your social needs, if you are it isnt healthy no matter what excuses you make for the behavior.

In the current game you are correct but how do you know in the upcoming update? Plus, he said there was no text chat and I pointed out that there was. I didn't say though how useful it was. Read what I typed not what you think I meant.

can i play with my balls if i got a mic on? it's just it's not in the rules.

You will be a lonely player

agree lol. Carlito even though I agree with some of your points but it will be damn hard to find people like yourself that doesn't have a girlfriend or kids and can just lock themselves away in a room. I do agree about the music though.
