Keep the pedal to the floor on those party chat complaints in Modern Warfare 2! According to Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling, they hear you loud and clear on the complaints from the community. Whether hearing is the same as acting, well that's yet to be seen, but for those of you annoyed by the lack of party chat options in certain multiplayer play lists on the Xbox 360 - scream to the heavens:
"For the love of Soap MacTavish give us our party chat!"
The lack of party chat was done in part to prevent cheaters in different multiplayer game types. Basically these punks would jump onto the opposing team calling out their teammates positions to their friends on the other team in party chat. For most of us, we're unaffected by this decision because we're too busy playing Spec-Ops in co-op!
