Halo 3 To Have 'Mute the Jerk' Button 260
Eurogamer is reporting on comments from the Bungie website. A feature for the upcoming Halo 3, that they've just announced, will be most welcomed by aging FPS players tired of hearing high-pitched squeals through their headsets. When playing an online match, players will be able to hit a button and then choose one of the gamertags playing the game. The result: a total mute on that player for the remainder of the game. They don't mention it on the site, but one would hope the Xbox Live servers are taking metrics on this activity, to be used in calculating the player's reputation. The more you mouth off, the worse you look to future players. Anyone have some other feature they think might make online gaming better?

Sounds like a philosophical question to me... "If a 12-year-old n00b plays halo and everyone has him muted, does he still complain about lag?"

Works great, and when everyone in the game decides to simply gang up on the idiot it makes for even more fun.

Yes. Remove the other players.

Notification? How about if it plays his audio back to him, at normal volume times the number of people muting him? (a law of conservation of sorts)
