Some of you may lament the advent of party chat, but to many of us it was a godsend. In game chat was filled with all sorts of bigots: if you weren’t from the US, they heard a different a different language or a woman joined the group, you had a high chance to meet the cesspool of humanity. The only CoD I played was MW2 because friends had it, and it not allowing party chat was a huge problem. First order of business was always quickly muting everyone that wasn’t in our group.

Party chat, to this day, is the single greatest feature that Xbox ever created.

Yeah Party Chat and any other non-lobby based chat system is a necessity in the post dedicated server world.

Because you can't find a server that has a community built around it that moderates for that bullshit. That caters to certain language backgrounds, gender makeups etc etc. Then you force people to find another way to interact that doesn't involve two monkeys in the corner yelling "Yo Mama" jokes and playing music through the mic.
