As I stated in another thread, I'm going to be getting MW2 for Christmas. I was wondering if getting a headset for the 360 would be a good investment? I know about the horror stories that come w/ XBox Live. "Noob!" "PWNED!" "You're Mom's a !" 10 year olds swearing worse than a badly written porn. Etc, etc.

Any advice? Thx.

Get it if you have like minded friends. Or if you make friends well.

I find I only talk to the people I socialise with outside of the game, who I can banter with online and offline.

I talk with loads of people outside of games, I have lots of friends, that I just talk too and stuff.

Get a mic, make some friends

In my 5 days playing modern Warfare 2 I have only once wished I had a headset. To chat to some dude who was funny. The rest of the time never missed it. If you play with RL friends you'll want it.

When I was playing halo 3 ages ago I was using my friends stuff and had a headset. I had this bizarre but fun conversation with some American south person. Apparently he chewed tobacco, I cant believe people still chew tobacco.

So sometimes the headset is ok. If some one trolls you just mute them. Or if they are annoying or have a headset with constant static..

At least in MW2 there is no teabagging or outright humping ala Gears of War 2.

I dont talk to people I know In RL on Xbox live, In gamechat, I usually start chatting with some guy, you add each other, get him to introduce you to his friends, you become friends with them, and so on.

Headset = great investment

Well, Christmas came and went and I got MW2 and a headset. So now I can hear kids fighting w/ their siblings and/or parents about how long they have been playing, getting cursed at for cheating because I got the shot and not the other way around, listen to the gangster wanna-be's and, my personal favorite, "Dude, I killed you while I was smoking weed. You suck."

Ah, gotta love X-Box Live.

Anywho... Glad I got it. Had some intresting times since I have been playing the multiplayer.

Could be worse. You could've gotten it for PC and subsequently have to deal with Aimbot spam *sigh*

I remember when I had a 3 hour session with some random Americans about my age. Ridiculous good banter for yanks
