yes also a good idea is to make chat rooms that have a password on them!

I remember the good old days of the Xbox 1 dashboard. Voice chat between up to 12 people I think!

Personally thought like you have a Friends List you should of had a Clan List, like on Halo 2. I know some people have certain Clans for certain games but I think the majority of Clans operate on most games.
Plus anyone who is really into the whole Clan thing will often be fairly dedicated to a small collection of games such as GRAW, Halo, Rainbow Six, Gears, etc
So I think it should be built into the Dashboard, so you can receive Clan Invites and like a Gamertag you have to register your Clan Name and then it's yours.
Again a Clan Lobby would of also been a nice addition to the Dashboard even if you were forced to remain in the Dash so if there was any communication issues if others were playing games that may dampen their online experience.

If you've ever tried out the Wii online, you'll come to appreciate how great Live is for squad/clan/guild support. The 360 may not allow for crowded chat rooms where everyone is speaking over each other but they do allow you to chat with someone no matter what game you're play or what film you're watching etc. Although I am curious as to why more games aren't offering clan support since the features Halo2 provided for their clans by even giving them a free forum was the best service I've ever seen on an Xbox game.

I would like to see something introduced for clans. What Bungie.net offered for the Halo 2 fan worked very well. I even created a forum for my old clan and was an administrator on another forum (until I stopped playing Halo 2 and resigned from the position that is). We need more Halo 2 type systems in place. They had a good clan and superb matchmaking system and I think it worked really well overall. Probably the best matchmaking feature of any game I've played I'll go as far to say.
I like Big D's idea of a clan feature on the dashboard (Y).
Also it really annoys me that you can't on voice chat for example have a group voice chat instead you have to be switching back and fore to who you need to talk to.

I don't know why they didn't support Clans more as it would only benefit Xbox themselves to have a feature like that, for instance after a while people would not only want to voice chat but to do basic features on the dashboard such as Play Arcade Games while discussing and talking to other Clan members in large groups.
So they would then resort to buy [more] arcade game for instance to keep themselves occupied while say a Clan Discussion was going on.
I thought when I got the Xbox 360 and realised how much Clans and how Xbox themselves promote certain clans such as them PMS Girls, it would of been an obvious progression for them.

Games like Rainbow Six desparatly need clan support even Gears of War, why the Devs. have left it out is beyond me...

I think it would also improve the Ranked Boosting Idea, as people would then just rank up in their Team/Clan in Clan Matches.
I also found it surprising that these so called Team Games leave out support for you to actually play as a Team competitively, it was astounding really and quite frustrating.
Take Gears of War there is no way for your Team/Clan to go Online take on another and get recognition for it. However most of these games to me fell rushed they should be trying to create another Halo 2 constantly.
I don't mean the game itself but more a game that will invite such enthusiasm and community behind it and I think the Clan feature and the ability to take on other clans was apart of that.

PMS were simply supported by Microsoft to encourage more female gamers to join or to fool men into thinking the Xbox had lots of women or something low like that. There are far better clans out there than PMS but the fact they're all female gets them more attention than they deserve in my opinion. :P

Yea it is a shame they used PMS like that to be honest, but I they both obviously saw the benefit in it. Although I do think they would of been better of actually getting a more representative clan.
