I'll address this to all three of you: one very good reason to not get the 360 version is that, for no adequate reason, they're making it so you can't be in a Party in all but 3 gametypes.
For anyone interested in fair competition, this is a
good thing. I can't tell you how many times I've had a game of Halo 3 screwed up because douchebags in private chat help their buddies on the other team.
You know, I've never doubted that Party Chat isn't a fit for every game. Gears of War, for example, is a game in which cheating is very easy when using Party Chat. But we're not talking about Gears, or Halo, or Rainbow Six, or what have you, we're talking about Call of Duty. And in Call of Duty, it's very difficult to engineer people, especially people in a Party, being on opposite teams, and impossible to do reliably. The only other kind of cheating with a Party would be someone who's dead talking to someone who's alive (which, combined with the Ghost Cam given to dead players in Gears, is what makes it so easy to cheat in that game). Thing is, this is only a problem in Search and Destroy, since that's the only game in which dead players can't talk to their team through Game Chat (it's the only game where you only have one life), and even then, what you can do with that is limited, since dead players are stuck seeing only what surviving members of their team can see. Even if that wasn't true, and dead players were given a ghost cam, they aren't getting rid of this for only Search and Destroy, they're getting rid of it for every gametype other than Free For All and Mercenary Team Deathmatch, which makes no sense. Hell, even if your logic was correct and they did this because some massive number of people I was unaware of were going on opposite teams and feeding intel, why allow it for those two games? If that was true, it'd be just as possible to do in MTDM, It just shows a complete lack of thought or reason on IW's part.
