I rarely use a mic, and rarely join fire teams, but when I have all has gone well. And I'll admit I'm not the greatest player. I'm more a weekend warrior, or after the kids are in bed warrior. I don't get to game as much as I did when I was younger, so my skills aren't the same as they used to be, but I haven't heard any disparaging remarks. Not even when I died again like 15 seconds after my poor teammate revived me the other night...(sorry to whoever that was!)
