Matchmaking

It would be cool if we are so good we could make the devs rage quit.

And yeah I understand COD and the no party chats but the option to party chat is nice, I have been in party's with people playing a couple different games before and it's nice to talk to the whole group.

And mute is a great feature that is overlooked in most games, I hope MNC has it. If someone has a broken mic or is making weird noises I would like to mute them, I don't mind trash talk or conversations though.

We've got Mute. It's lethal.

Best class skill in the game. Mute button.

Player Mute is a universal feature of Xbox Live. I can find a player on MW2 I don't want to listen to, mute them, and if I happen to randomly come across them in MNC, they will still be muted.

That is how it used to work. (?) Isn't it?

Yes, but its quite a process if you're in the midst of gameplay. Lots of games integrate a form of mute with the push of a button now.

Unfortunately I won't be playing with you guys anytime soon I guess. Unless Scathis takes two weeks off and quickly releases a PC version in time for the XBLA release.

Yeah we could block all communications from the player but that involves going into the guide button and going through the menus (Which the guide button menus are generally slow while playing games) And it's takes too long mid game.

Blocking communications blocks all messages as well as not being able to hear their voice while in party's and games with the player, It's a great feature if someone is harassing you continuously or you just generally hate the person but if someone was to annoy you in a game a quick mute button does the trick because it's not like you never want to hear from the person ever again you just want to turn their mic off temporarily.

Will Blitz feature matchmaking online or will it be invite only (ala ODST Firefight mode)?

Both, plus private Blitz games if you want to play less than four people and have no one join in progress.

Awesome! and thanks for the quick response

For private matches can you play with less than 4 players, like 2 0n 2 or do you have to have a min of 4 0n 4?

You can play partial games using private matches.

Ok thanks
