I keep getting the notion form reading posts, that when I am playing Freeplay Online Multiplayer my team is made up of Bots and not human players. This may explain why I have yet to hear 1 person on a mic. Any truth to my revelation?? It would explain a whole ton of things I have been questioning since firing up the game on Tuesday.
BTW I am on XBOX 360

SOMETIMES you will enter a game with all bots, but typically it's mostly real people. I always have my mic on, but most people are usually either in parties, or simply do not use their mics. You also can't use voice communication until you are level 3 or so.

You'll notice in the Freeplay Match Settings there are a few different "playlists." Each playlist settings will display a list of various game options. Some are friendly fire, amount of players as well as the option to allow or disallow bots.

Also when you look for any match of sorts make sure your visibility is set to "Everyone."

I rarely find ANY real players. I've the option set on everyone btw. That svcks, great game though.
