How unbelievable that a patch has come out and make's the mic situation worse!!! Ok mics seem clearer, but now we can't mute out those we don't wanna hear.......namely all the little kids shouting their gobs off, or the nerds who think we want to listen to their crap music!!! I now quit more games than I used to coz I can't stand it!! How can a patch get thro the testing without some knob jockey saying "Oh tell you what, lets just check the mutes are still working"!! What the hell do these guys get paid for???? As a previous post sai....if a car was faulty when you brought it, the garage would take it back, fix it, or refund your money. What do we get......patch after patch that just makes things worse!!!
It's almost as if they purposely do this stuff. I mean, I can't understand how they drop the ball every single patch.
Thing is with any patch, once you "repair" whats wrong you then test, from the ground up to see that that "repair" has A) fixed the problem & B) Not now created another problem. How simple is that, and how much is it to ask that these guys, who are no doubt paid a fortune, start earning their f_u_c_k_i_n_g money, and stop cheating us out of ours!!
Correction they really dont get paid that much, Activision keeps most of the billions COD makes. The devs make around 70 to 80 thousand a year and that might be a little generous.
The mutes are working
Not on mine. I have also seen another post that is reporting the same as me
Well they are working on mine, and I have the same system as you, and the same patch
I'm in a party with 5 other peoples who's mute function works too
It's def not the patch
I haven't played yet today, but I've been told muting works, but lowering the actual voice volume in options doesn't cancel out the voice. To be honest, that doesn't bother me too much, cause I just turn it down on my headset.
See post "VOICE VOLUME BROKEN AFTER UPDATE"
see post "the mutes are working!* ^ up their
Oh so me and the other posters on the subject of them now not working must be lying then??

Something like that, yeah
Maybe IW gave you lot a seperate patch to everyone else on the planet who's mute works fine still
I never noticed a problem with the mics anyways. The quality was fine, and the slight cutting out is likely due to my connection.
I have a PS3 with the 1.08 crap patch.
In the lobby before the game you can mute anyone. In game on the leaderboard you can mute anyone.
What doesn't work is the Voice Volume slider bar which lets you mute every single player you'll ever play a game with by just turning the Voice Volume all the way off. No constant toggle mute crap. That's what's broken. Not the manual muting.
I don't think the problem is universal though as I am most of my friends do ot have this problem. We all have turtlebeaches though, but still don't understand how the mute function would quit working for you. Try deleting the patch and re-installing it.
I hate idiots. There are always people complaining about everything. The voices are clear, you can mute people just like always, and the voices don't cut out anymore. Oh, if you can't mute someone, buy a $20 headset! You can control the volume on headsets, and make it so it doesn't output your voice. That way you wouldn't have to mute anyone to begin with.
I swear this forum is just cranky 70 year old people. Because that is what you guys remind me of. Complaining about everything even though its not even a real problem.
Hush Hush, boy

I think it's more likely to be cranky children.
70 year olds don't know how to work the Intarwebs.
As opposed to people who post without understanding the OP's problem?
I don't want a headset, or to listen to voices, what can I do? The volume slider was perfect as it meant I never had to listen to anyone, the new patch has broken it and it i pretty frustrating.
It sounds like I'm having the same issue as everyone else. The voice voume control in options is all the way off and I can still hear their voices. I sure hope they realize how annoying that is and remedy it.
I think you guys are talking about 2 different things. From what I have read:
- turning down voice in options DOES NOT work
- muting people in game DOES work
From this, I feel sorry for people who do not have decent headsets (one can turn down all voices)
I have a really good headset..the mute DOES NOT WORK!!
What do you mean? You change the voice volume on your headset and you can't hear anyone. Its not that difficult.
the new patch is for people who did the prestige token glitch, you cant use the tokens no more, im looking at mine now
The MICS are HORRIBLE now.
I have the PS3 wireless Surround sound one..and now all the voices have become.."muffled" I guess is the right word? Sounds HORRIBLE.
FIX THIS SH1T ASAP.
You can still mute each individual you just cant turn voice volume off.
Mute works flawlessly. Don't know what the fuss is. The mics DO sound **** and muffled now but at least the majority of cut out have gone. It's nice to be able to actually have a conversation without repeating yourself ten times.
First off, mute does NOT work flawlessly. I had someone on my team today listening to music, i muted him but could still hear it. i then muted my whole team, and i could STILL hear it, it was not rebroadcasting. Get on a team with someone listening to music loudly and mute them, it makes it quieter but it does NOT mute them completely. Second, i have a turtle beach headset and can shut off the microphone input, when i shut it off and someone else talks, all the icons including mine light up as if we are all talking. lastly, this only happened once, i muted someone on my team yesterday and it automaticly muted someone on the OTHER team. i know split screen players get muted together, but this was 2 different people on 2 different teams. i unmuted and it unmuted them both, remuted and they both remuted. Say what you will about how awesome of a job they do, but this is all my own personal experience. by my conclusion they totally effed up.
For some reason you can't lower the general sound anymore, I now use my mic as an all mute button.
Mute works for me but its too fecking quiet now
the one thing that worked in the last patch imo again ive got a good headset mute aint an issue but being able to actually communicate now gets a pass from me
i can vouch for mute being a little screwy. In the main options menu, i have players mic volume turned all the way down. That's how i like it nice and quiet. However with it being turned down all the way I still get players voices. I have to go now again and mute every player manually. this wasn't like this before.
