Xbox Gaming in South Africa

According to a rather blurry screenshot taken off a leaked copy of Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward intends to block private chat, and possibly party chat, in the online multiplayer modes of the upcoming shooter.

The reason behind such a move would be to prevent cheaters from revealing important game information, such as enemy locations, during tactical team games. Of course, this probably means that everyone sitting in party chat to avoid the overwhelming dumb of public lobbies dips out too.

Infinity Ward has yet to confirm the details under which this restriction will come into place, so we'll hold judgement until more information is available.
