COD 4 - How to silence online players??? - Blu-ray Forum

bl80 · 12-03-2008, 10:54 AM

In COD5, the game has a setting to turn off all player chatter. In COD4 I do not see this option. There is a "voice" setting in the sound options and I have that all the way down.. still can hear all the chatter. I know how to mute in-game.. but once you hit the lobby you can still hear everyone..

the sick and vile stuff that comes out of these players mouths.. i really don't want to hear it.. even more embarrassing when i have guests over ..

thanks..

i hear you man. that's one of the main reasons i don't like gaming online as much. i reallly wish games would make a lot more offline co-op. cause unlike a lot of "gamers" i actually have real friends and most games are 1 player unless you play online.

Not everyone has the luxury of bringing 4 tvs and consoles together in the same house to play. I will not play on the same TV, it doesn't make sense. Online gaming solves that problem. All of my actual friends play online and we can all get together that way.

Not all "gamers" are the way you make them out to be. Most are normal people that have real friends. Please don't stereotype.

what i did w/ my xbox360 was simply to cut the wired cord of the headset and keep the jack plugged into my controller. obviously the chatting was going on but when the jack was connected to the controller it only came thru the now-defunct headset.

on the PS3, if you have a headset hooked up, are all the voices routed thru the headset only and not thru the main sound system?

There is a way to mute people in cod4..While you in the game, hit select to bring up the stat charts and go to the player you want to mute and hit X and you should see the speaker with a red cross showing you muted them!!

Please re-read my initial post..

That only works in-game.
When it drops to the lobby all are Un-muted.

KingBing · 12-03-2008, 02:27 PM

ooh sorry man, That wierd you can't mute them while in the lobby because I know you can mute yourself because I've done it before but anyways you only in the lobby for a few seconds...

bl80 · 12-03-2008, 02:29 PM

no prob at all....

do you know if the voice chat only comes thru the headset when connected? or does it still come thru the tv as well?

KingBing · 12-03-2008, 02:31 PM

No if the headset is connected it goes through the headset!!

Wreck · 12-03-2008, 04:05 PM

Haha I forgot yea ... just turn ur headset on whether u use it or not ...

but u cant mute them in ur headset in lobby .. only in game.

I actually don't mind the lobby chatter, because sometimes I find it humorous to hear people yell at each other.

What I can't stand is the people who breathe into their microphones, or have music playing. This is made even worse when I have a full set of teammates, and all have microphones. So I have to mute them one at a time, and by trial and error, figure out who the culprits are.

COD4 has the biggest PITA setup ever. I hate it. I just leave a corded headset plugged in 24/7 to take care of it (and BTW the stupid chat is so loud I can STILL hear ppl talking from the couch even with the volume all the way down on the headset). Good to hear they fixed it in COD WAW. Hopefully the next modern era COD will still have the fix.

Thats what i do,i just connect the headset and i don't wear it.I would chat with ppl that i know only.I hate it that i coulnt have my sorround system loud and having someone telling throught the game to turn it down when it's my house!.Plus the crappy music some ppl put while they play and think theire "hard" Lol.
