Why can I not communicate with my friends/teammates in lobby or in game for The Finals?

I hate party chat. I miss the days of trash talk in lobbies and actual communication in games. This is why I basically only play games that require communication for victory like Left 4 Dead 2. People actually get out of their party chats and talk to their
teammates in game so they can win.

No, but you do have to realize that there are plenty of people that do boost so people tend to overreact. This is why wheneverI get into a lobby I mute everyone who isn't my friend. Once in the game I tend to unmute people on my team so we can communicate
but the lobbies are full of people talking trash.

I never hear squads communicating in lobbies, much less other teammates (excluding when partied up with friends). I will note that talking is overrated, LOL, as I have had great games "flowing" with a team and not one word was ever spoken. Everyone just
seems to be in the right place doing the right thing. Ill also mention that total opposite can happen too......when nothing goes right.

Hey bro, a good way to get more friends on Xbox is to simply just play online. If you, for example, are playing a FPS game and communicating well with your teammates then you can send a request to a particular teammate to indulge in future slaughters. Although
I spend a majority of my time on pc. Feel free to add
