Use Team Chat in Online Multiplayer

Since the inception of party chat on both consoles during the PS3/Xbox 360 era, the number of users who use the in-game team chat during multiplayer matches has greatly decreased. Sure, it saves the headache of having to listen to some dude listening to Fetty Wap on full blast over the headset or another guy having an overly-specific conversation with his wife about his digestive issues, but at what cost?

Team-based games like Rainbow Six Siege, Halo 5, and Call of Duty are all best experienced when there is a team full of people communicating about the objective. If all of the responsible microphone users began to poke their heads out from the party-chat isolation they’ve grown accustomed to, maybe it would be enough to drown out those that ruin the experience for everyone. With a little effort and strategic use of the mute option on players that still commit the vilest of chat offenses, team chat can be reclaimed as a place to discuss strategy and enemy movement.
