I'd love the ability to talk to my mates in MP without having to listen to kids, mic spam and Johnny Foreigner*

* I'm sure everyone thinks my accent is just wonderful

In a game where it is your actual friends I can imagine it being fun. Though when you are playing against strangers it can be very different. A gay friend of mine says nothing during the games because of homophobic comments from some players even though they have no idea that he is gay.

Get an Xbox 360 then

And the accent is, as long as it's used by an attractive Northern Irish girl

Nah, Sony are too incompetent to be proper scum

Unless that girl is Nadine Coyle

I emphasise the attractive part

Sometimes I think that she should be in the "Annoying but you fancy them" thread, but sometimes she is way too annoying to be even fanciable.

You still can't beat a good LAN party, IMO.

Unless I'm playing L4D or something similar, and even then only with friends, then I find the speaking annoying. I don't really want to hear what the other bozos in the game want to say, even if they're on my team.

TF2 has an independent mute feature: if someone is mic spamming, you can mute them and keep useful people on.

i freaking love it.

A 'mute all' at least would be much appreciated in COD

Awesome feature is awesome.

Even Hitler bemoaned the lack of LAN in Starcraft 2
