Game chat and Party chat simultaneously

Hi there,

When you are in a party chat and you'd like to talk in-game, you have to switch to game chat. You cant use both simultaneously

The Party Chat feature is like a double-edged sword. It brought the ability to chat with up to eight of your buddies simultaneously but killed off what made Xbox Live so great which was the engagements with the in-game communities and making new friends/foes
in the process.

The reason that it happens in Back 4 Blood is that I believe the game was designed like that, the developers want people to be using the "in game chat" and not "party chat" they actually want people to play the game as a team and not random people who don't communicate to each other.

There is a work around though (of sorts), in the Back 4 Blood sounds options I found an option that mutes in game chat, it doesn't help if you are in a team with two random people as you should all be working together, but it works for my group and we no longer get in game chat echoing seconds after the party chat.

Edit on item #2

It's not meant to be "party chat" but "chat". Whether ingame or party. But the buttons are not switching between game or party chat, but to control the balance between game sounds and voice chat.

You should select party chat in the menu for party voice only or game chat for game chat only
