How do you communicate with friends and team mates when playing a game?

[Shortie]

When it comes to gaming nowadays most people tend to play a lot more multiplayer than they do single player and in some multiplayer games, you do need interaction with your teammates or your friends when playing the game so that you play well together and have a good chance at being the winning team.

I know whenever I have played online multiplayer games with friends I have always used the Xbox party or in some cases, the in-game chat if it's just me and a friend playing together. I also have used discord when playing with other friends on online games and I find that to be another great way to interact with friends or teammates in games.

Discord has just recently been added to Xbox as well so now I have the choice of either Xbox party or Discord when I play.

What do you use when you need to communicate with teammates or friends in online games?

I used a headset once when playing some Modern Warfare with some friends. You can mainly hear me saying "crap" the whole time when someone killed me. It's a fast-paced game to be trying to outsmart players by talking via a mic.

Always use Discord mainly. I don't use anything else usually. Discord is way easier IMO to use than mostly anything these days.

If it's not on Discord, there's a very big chance that I wouldn't be getting into any kind of communication with anyone. Usually, I like playing solo games more than with teammates.

I don't play multiplayer games - and if I do... it's usually with my wife and we'll be in the same room.

But beyond that, if I do - for whatever reason - need to do that, Discord will do.

Having to worry about a lot toxic gamers in most multiplayer games is the reason why I choose to hardly play such games. There are so many sick gamers out there in such kind of video games.

I think I hear the F-bomb in nearly every Call of Duty multiplayer match when people are playing with their mics. It's not surprising though, people like to drop those types of words when they lose to just about anything.

Not good audio to have turned on if you have kids around.

So I used to text friends telling them to get online and we would get on the built in party chat system typically. Before party chat we would just chat in game and I miss those days because I loved all the trash talking actually lol.

On Destiny and Runescape that I currently play we use Discord to communicate mostly. That way if we are all playing different games or something we can still talk there.

If it's a multiplayer game like PUBG, I do communicate with teammates very actively using the in-game mic itself. We make plans to flank and take down the enemies and all etc. But in other games, I don't really unmute myself hehe.
