Which is why I'm still pissed Microsoft allowed IW to take away party chat, which is a service I'm paying money for. Not a huge loss, since I played Ground War almost exclusively in COD4, and that allows it. Otherwise, if there's only 2 people, private chat still works great.
The random people are annoying, but I have a mute list of at least half a million by now, so I don't tend to hear them too much
