Live chat, party, team chat were all down tonight.

Try doing a hard reset on your console. Hold the power button on the console for 10 minutes or until it shuts down completely. Let it stay down for a couple of minutes then power it back up and see if the issue is resolved.

If that doesn't work try removing and re-downloading your profile. Good Luck!

Can’t join party chat at all tonight, just says connecting for everyone in the party. Hopefully it’s because they are working on a fix.

Party chat is killing the social aspect of XBL. Everybody is in their party chat bubble to "get away" from all the negative people when from my experiences it really isn't that bad aside from the occasional person every 20 games. If somebody is bothering
you that bad that's what mute is for.

If we can't have full team chat I'll settle for squad chat+ team proximity chat. A full team with everybody using their mics at the same time would be counter-productive.

[/quote]I hope that in the future, players in party chat are kept completely segregated from people who aren't in party chat. That would fix everything. Just type in a code into the search engine that does something like "If...then...else----party chat people
cannot play with non party chat people".

Cheers for the replies everyone,

Think I will give MW a look as well. I hear what you are all saying about Party Chat but personally I used to really find it amusing when 8 of you were playing RB6 BA (4 vs 4) and you could talk to your team (and only your team) during a game and then fire
banter between teams in the lobby after each game...

... guess the banter with strangers seems to be something that has gone with Party Chat. Just hope they offer party chat vs non-party chat games in the future - that way everyone will be happy

Cheers again,

Charlie

Chat through both was the best in Halo. People talking on the apposing team could be heard as though their characters were talking. Some great CTF matches were blown apart by listening to your opponents strategic conversations. Then party chat came. Oh
party chat let me count the ways I hate you.
