:( now im going to get muted a lot lol

but yeh its a good idea, ill probably use it most for blocking out the annoying high pitched voice of the 6 year olds

a good trash talking argument is ok now and then

That's a very good thing in my opinion. There are always some kids screaming and talking trash online.

Actually it would be better if they had some kind of vote->kick system.

that would be a bad idea...

if you were amazing in the game and were dominating everyone they could just vote you out...

True, but the idea of the ranking system is supposed to avoid this. Therefore, the only way (assuming correct skill levels) that someone could be dominating that much is by cheating somehow. It would also need to be a majority vote, of course, so I think it's doable.

I'd love it if I just couldn't hear the other team. I can't even count how many times people have gotten into arguments instead of just muting each other and just playing.

wow you couldn't already do this?!

Yeah you could but it's slow and anoying, you had to go to the console, get to the recently seen players and look for the guy you want to mute.

Halo 3 will just make it more accesible, so you can instantly mute them without loosing much of gameplay.

If you try now to mute someone in GOW, by the time you are done, everyone will be already in the middle of the map.

Halo 3 gets shutup button

Gamers can conveniently shut opponents' pie holes on top of normal Xbox Live features with Bungie's new "A-Hole Button."

Nothing ruins an online gaming session like being taken down by a headshot and then hearing some pipsqueak up past his bedtime demean your family, particular the matriarch. However, even more hurtful than ragging on your mom are the too-frequent racial slurs, unnecessary profanity, and freestyle rappers trying to get a record contract.

To those people, Bungie says, "shut up." On its latest weekly update post, community liaison Frank O'Connor reveals that Halo 3 will have what one staff member calls "The A-Hole Button." The feature will let gamers instantly mute players of their choosing directly within game sessions.

Currently, the feature is locked onto the Back button of the 360 controller, but O'Connor suggests it may not remain mapped to that position.

One major complaint about Halo 2's online play has been the behavior of gamers over Xbox Live. While Bungie can't police every single person's actions, the company does say, "We're doing our best to come up with lots of smart solutions for stuff like this, but honestly, we can't be parents to some of these poltroons."
