By now, if you've played Modern Warfare 2 online, you will have noticed some of the playlists don't allow the use of Xbox LIVE's party chat functionality. The main reason for the lack of support is that people with way too much time on their hands can use the private chat to jump onto opposing teams and cheat.
A fair amount of people play Modern Warfare 2 for fun with friends, and they are rightfully pissed off over the decision. Beyond that, some of the folks who play this type of multiplayer tend to be rather sketchy -- sometimes, we just want to get into a party so we don't have to listen to annoying teammates drone on.
To play devil's advocate here, yes, there is the option to mute anyone individually. Plus, a team-focus game like this is better for everyone when players actually function as a team.
When asked if Infinity Ward was paying attention to this outcry, creative strategist Robert Bowling said the studio is indeed listening. Whether or not that means the team will change anything remains to be seen.
And while we're on the subject, all versions of MW2 got three new playlists: Mosh Pit, 3rd Person Team Tactical, and Team Deathmatch Express. That last one sounds pretty terrific if you ask me.

2. Go to privacy settings
3. Go to voice and text
4. Select friends only
It's a stupid workaround that you shouldn't have to do in the first place, but still, it's there if anyone wants to use it.
I got it on PC and thought its more laggy and random that it should be, the game is pretty damn good, and still a superior version compared to the consoles. Play or don't
Think of it this way: There are two multiplayer modes in CoD4 & WaW for PC (large scale and small scale). Now there's only one in MW2. In a simplified fashion think of it that way: There were 2 now there's only 1.

Tsk tsk, IW.
Shut the fuck up nobody cares
But this is actually something that can change.
THIS^
Well, 99% of the time. Even then, I don't mind listening and communicating with others. The mute button is there for a reason.
I always thought party chat in certain modes of MW was a bad idea anyway.
How does it feel?
My other main complaint is that Special Ops doesn't have more options for online play. Its either one player or two player via invite. Why I can simply search for a random co-op player to play with online, as well as via invite here is beyond me. The fact the its not possibly to do some co-op mission, without two players on veteran, hurts the game more.
I hope they improve Special Ops more, because more online games are about co-op play over one on one/death match play.
That better fucking mean they patch in dedis. I will actually buy the game if they do, but not until then.
Also, Mosh Pit is the best.
I have no problem with it not being in S&D, I'm sure that can be very frustrating.
It's as if they chose which playlists to remove the feature from at random. The only mode it makes sense to remove, imo, is S&D since it's objective based AND there are no respawns. Any playlist that includes a no respawn gametype should not have it, all others should. It's a basic feature built into the system and opening up the ability to remove core LIVE functionality on Microsoft's part is absurd. One of the main reasons I stopped playing Killzone 2 on PS3 was how annoying it was to meet up with friends and chat whether we were in the same game or not. It's a basic feature of a service I PAY MONEY FOR. What are they going to do next, remove my ability to download game content and force me to buy it all at retail?
