Halo 3 will ''mute idiots'' via button

[Raging]

To the delight of many gamers, Bungie has announced Halo 3 will introduce a "mute idiot" function via a button push. Via pushing the back button, gamers can shush up any trash talkers!

The "A-Hole Button" as they're calling it brings up a score list with everyone's tag on it. By using the right stick, you can quickly select whichever player is smack-talking you into a stupor, and you won't hear from them again.

"Any muted player you have selected in your Xbox Live account overrides Halo 3's new system, but that should actually enhance the choice of maroons you're editing out of your gameplay. Best of all, it means fewer wasted or frustrating gameplay sessions," Bungie's Frank O'Connor notes.

"We're doing our best to come up with lots of smart solutions for stuff like this, but honestly, we can't be parents to some of these poltroons. We're much more concerned with giving you guys the tools you need to silence them."

Yea, you can turn of radio chatter in css but it's not player-specific. Good idea tbh

Actually you can mute individual players by going to Player List. Look for the player, select them, and just press the mute button (either that or it's right-click, mute, I forget)
