I wouldn't be surprised if it did, the PS3 lets you alter the pitch of your mic.

Yes. It was used on Halo 2 in-game all the time. I heard it a few times on Tom Clancy I believe too. Maybe the games added them and not XBL directly, but it was there.

God, I love those old videos! I remember this one specifically...



It was on an old Xbox DVD video that I can't remember where I got from. I do remember it contained this ad as well.


Another thing I remember was trying to get on Dark Master's friend list back then. I eventually did, and ended up playing a bit of Return to Castle Wolfenstein with them. I was only a kid. :p

It definitely was used here in the UK, but not for long.

I remember seeing it at least once on tv. I think during the Super Bowl.
