Though this is a great positive that's yet to make its way to the PlayStation 3, some feel that it can act as both an advantage and disadvantage in online competitive games.For example, "spotting" allows your friends to infiltrate the opposing team and tell you exactly where the enemy is. And chatting in your own party chat can not only mean that you're not concentrating on the game at hand, but that you're also leaving out members on your team who may not be one of your Xbox LIVE friends.However, these two points would only ever be a problem in hardcore ranked matches, where a win and loss would actually "matter". Instead, Infinity Ward has disabled the Xbox 360's Party Chat in most of the game's play modes.If you start Party Chat in those modes in Modern Warfare 2 you'll be given an message asking you to disable Party Chat and instead enter Game Chat.You will be able to use Party Chat in these play modes: Mercenary Team Deathmatch, Free-For-All, Third Person Teams.However, you won't be able to use Party Chat in the following: Domination, Ground War, Demolition, Sabotage, Headquarters Pro, Search & Destroy, Hardcore Search & Destroy, Capture The Flag, Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Team Deathmatch, Third Person Cagematch.This isn't the first time Infinity Ward has been surrounded by controversy with Modern Warfare 2; the PC game will not support dedicated servers, causing an uproar in the PC community.
That's what I was thinking but if people are really dedicated to cheating they could use vent etc. and still get an advantage. Would be more of a hassle but still possible anyway.
