Well, here we go again folks. Another petition - this time it's one I actually signed. Twice.

WARNING : I personally think this post is reasonably lengthed, but I'll put a tl;dr at the bottom for anyone with a short attention span. Just skip until you see STOP.
There is the thread originally telling me that IW, in their fuckhead wisdom, decided to have all party chat disabled during every game mode in multiplayer but Free-for-all, Mercenary Team Deathmatch and Third Person Teams. I'm not sure what that last one is either.
I was actually outraged. Not because of any great betrayal of IW but just in general. I log in to XBL and immediately join my friends in a party. Talking to my friends while playing is the staple of my entire gaming career. By myself I just don't feel right. I also love Call of Duty's MP. I've been playing CoD4/CoD : WaW for over a year now in MP and I've been awaiting MW2's MP for so long, I will be the happiest guy on Earth when I open that plastic wrapping.
I will be playing the multiplayer for a decade at least, and I can't do it with my friends? I can't use the main social function of my 360 at all? XBL is by far the worst playerbase in the history of videogaming. Nowhere else in the globe will you find such a dense mob of drooling morons, driven by anonymity, stupidity and the sugar they down to increase their reaction time with the sensitivity on high. Speak but a word and you'd be confronted with racism, stupidism and the rantings of tools. I don't care for hearing xX_5n1iP3R ll KiiL4 Xx tell me about his sex life, or what he thinks of my accent. Nor do I want to hear ooxAsSaSsiiN187654xxX inform me of his views on black people in supermarkets.
So I play against these imbeciles, my teeth grating every second that they ruined what would be a fun experience for me just enjoying the game in the company of fine, intelligent and humourous people. I revel in the joys of killing someone and then hearing someone tell me a funny story about a cow, or hearing the exploits of my gaming chums in their respective games.
And Infinity Ward, in an attempt to quell "cheating", that never actually happens, by barring millions, possibly tens of millions judging by CoD4's success, with their right to ignore fucktards and speak to friends. Or, in the reflection, the fucktards to ignore the clever people and make "ur mooom" jokes to their stupid friends in peace and harmony amongst all.
When you enter a game of Call of Duty it is silent... half the players have no microphones, and half are in parties, talking to friends and comrades. 1 in 100 is "abusing" the party chat system, in only 1 goddamn game mode no less, to tell their team mates info while dead. Right. So... in almost every game mode, respawn is instant, barring KillCam? Right? And yet, almost every game mode but a few that I don't play are being fucked over needlessly ??
So that warrants a complete and utter dick move on the behalf of IW, stopping innocent people like me from speaking to my friends while enjoying a game that I motherfucking paid for. I paid for the fun I'll get playing Spec Ops with Birras, and playing the Single Player in awe and esteem. I paid for the Multiplayer too. Why ruin it?
STOP : They've stopped party chat, I think it's stupid and needless, and you missed out on the long eloquent rant. That'll teach you to skip my thread.
Please, please, please. Not just if you think that I'm right, I'm literally begging you to do me a favour.

It requires a full name, can be fake, and an email address. Doesn't take long and even if you think I'm wrong, help me out and sign it.

. It is of no small wonder that my 360 hasn't been used since GTA IV.
