What is it...

Well if your in Private Chat and Playing a Game at the same time for instance Call of Duty 2 and then you notice that a "Friend" has joined your lobby. Now what do you do...

You could end Private Chat and Talk to him but then that means that the person your currently talking to has to come to an end.

If I stop the Private Chat it may seem rude that I'm stopping talking to him because the other friend is better or that if I don't join my "friend" then he will think I'm ignoring him.

Edit: The above might seem confusing but this summarises it for you. Sorry!

I felt the consquence of this after I failed to talk to [Mr X] the lad that joined my lobby as I was in Private Chat with [Mr Y]. So [Mr X] went and deleted me....

What do you do?

Also if you leave Private Chat to join the friend who just entered the lobby, he might not end up talking to you anyway as he might be in Private Chat himself or have his Mic Broken.

So that's what i'm now calling the Private Chat Dilemma? Your Solutions are welcome.

*Sorry for the Longish Post*

Explain what...

Go into the lobby tell the other guy who might or might not be wanting to talk to you that your talking to someone else.

Here's an example I done that today when someone from here joined and they never ended up talking anyway. Then I ended up going back and re-joining my Private Chat.

if your so called friend deletes you cuz you didnt say hi to him once, he doesnt really deserve to be your friend.

Thats what I was thinking, I was surprised to say the least. I aleast expected him to send me a message just asking "Why the F*** I ignored him?"... there you go!

Although it's more a thought of how to aviod it in the future rather than solve the current situation if you get what I mean.

I never have the headset plugged in anyway. Silent and deadly.

That's handy to know... but doesn't that lead to any problems?

I get kicked from a few lobbies for not talking :'(

Also when I play clan battles everyone in the team knows the others game inside and out so that we know when to cover the other team members or hold a particular location. I tend to split up from the pack and aim to get behind the other team and cause some confusion. Its a good tactic and usually results in the win.
