Call of Duty: Black Ops will block party chat in some (but fewer) modes
4.6
Xbox Live socialistas were upset by Modern Warfare 2's policy of prohibiting players from taking part in certain online multiplayer modes while in a Live Party. In a recent interview with Videogamer.com, Treyarch's online director Dan Hunting explained that this policy returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops, reminding players that "we have that same restriction in certain playlists where they can use party chat to exploit the game mode." The hardcore Search and Destroy gametype is used as an example of where this would be appropriate.
However, the restriction won't be applied to as many playlists as it was in last year's Duty, including Team Deathmatch and "any game mode where it doesn't make sense to have it." So, yes, certain game modes will still require you to converse with the hoi polloi, but isn't that part of the magic of online shooters?
I cant remember who posted this but they said it was just the SnD game types that wouldnt have the Party feature available. But at least can talk in Team Deathmatch to your mates rather then some Angry 13 year old whos having a lot of trouble breaking there voice and with hormones
I really don't understand the point for this. Whenever I play and someone wants to talk in my party, I have to go lay down in a corner, pull up the party chat screen and talk for however long it takes. I thing not having this would prevent so many rage quits.
