I've yet to hear a single person talk in any of the Titainfall lobbies. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah no one talks, I've had some luck getting a text convo going though.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Didn't parties just get fixed on X1? Probably that. No one leaves their party on Live.

I wonder how many people don't realise that Kinect can be used for voice communication?

No Xbox One version. Usually Xbox Live shooters are full of people yapping.

That damn Party Chat fix ruined the social aspect of XBL.
Party Chat ruined Xbox Live, again.
I remember when everyone talked in public games at launch.

I remember when everyone talked in public games at launch. Irrelevant. Party chat makes that unnecessary. People aren't mute for a lack of mics.

I wish titanfall had a battlelog type system, really disliked the console style lobby in the open beta. I couldn't type in text either, so is that in retail?

Pretty much. No lie, I feel like since parties became a thing no one wants to deal with the potential BS of openly talking in a lobby anymore. Kinda sad cuz some of my favorite times was the insults hurled between teams those 20 seconds or so of post-match in Gears of War 2.

the last time i talked via titanfall was to mock this guy who said he was famous on youtube and was gonna hack our internet and we'd be lucky to even connect to anything.
it was great. :<

This isn't a new thing. I rarely hear anybody talk on most online multiplayer games as well. Except COD, people are pretty chatty in that game.
I have 3 mics I can use online, but I don't use them. I've only used a mic publicly online once, and it was the first day I got it. I just went on CODBO, and yelled "hadoken" and "shoryuken" everytime I got a kill. No reason for it, I was just bored since no one else had a mic. After the match was over I get 3 friend requests, all telling me I was funny or to challenge me in SF4. That was a good day.
Haven't used a mic on PSN since.

Gotta get in those GAF OT and add people. I did this for KZ:SF and had a blast. Although I agree that the trash talking aspect of online is pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur. I enjoyed it as long as it was in good taste and didn't involve a bunch of yelling or racism/homophobia.
Its called a social experience lol

Kinda disappointing.. I mean especially with the X1/PS4 that comes with a Mic. Not even in Battlefield anymore.

Well, it's easy to avoid assholes through party chat nowadays, but there used to be honest to goodness conversations and a nice atmosphere on XBL. You'd have people screaming at each other too, which is why party chat caught on. It's a bit of social laziness we've all fallen into(Including me, tbh).
Those were the days...
Just want to say that even though it's not the average experience, I absolutely do occasionally do it for simple reasons. I found literally four of my best Xbox Live gamer buddies through random lobbies, each of them incredibly skilled and just fun-loving guys who were equal to my laid back gaming temperament. They were not racists, they knew when to play serious and when to fuck off, they were funny and treated everyone fairly. Sometimes we'd be so in sync we knew when to try to help the other team improve and everything. We ended up spending thousands of hours gaming together, to the point we'd synchronize game purchases to do it. Just four random people... one from Alaska, one from Washington State, one from Pennsylvania (me) and one from Arizona (I think. And we picked up three other people who we'd rotate into our Left 4 Dead teams when someone was away. And we'd all hang out in party chat together. Two of them actually became members here - Ghetto Gamer and Greendomo's Ghost.
It's in vogue to try to dismiss everyone in Live and PSN as unwashed masses incapable of formulating sentences, but because in my experience it is perfectly possible to meet good people through the wonder of random lobbies, I'd say I would occasionally like to give it a shot, famous. You never know who you might meet.
First post wins again.
It's so much better this way. The last thing I want to hear is random people yapping.

I have noticed this, as well.
I usually start talking to encourage people and someone might reply or start talking about what points need back-up but then will quickly stop. I think part of the problem is the game's talking heads already give you the information you need without your teammates needing to tell you. Which, you know, is fine from a gameplay perspective, but it contributes to the non-talking thing.
I have found the community mostly terrible, though, so I am not sure I mind. Just wall-to-wall douchebags and assholes. I was playing a game with a friend and he told someone on our team not to gloat and the gloater went on this wild rant about how my friend is a pussy and this country would be better off without people like him. And that's not even much of an outlier in my experience so far.

I used to have nice chats with randoms during Socom 1/2. PSO. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (xbox, actual 1), and a few other games.
In the last couple generations. No. It's kids swearing who don't even understand the swears they are saying. Everything is "gay." Bitching about weapons. Whatever just killed you is totally OP, so bitch about it. Oh, that dude sounds like he may not be white, let's drop the n-word. Oh a girl. Go make me a sandwich. Some guys get into the team spirit with "Why do you faggots suck so much fucking cock we're gonna lose because you guys are jews." Which, weirdly, doesn't make sense, as Israel has a pretty fantastic army. And gay males giving fellatio to other males doesn't seem out of character.
My personal favorites, however, are:
1. The people who rap. The entire round. Freestyle. They are really talented.
2. The kid who doesn't mute as he argues with his mother about his bedtime.
3. The 20-something stoned out of his mind arguing with his girlfriend/wife.
4. The greatest of all public chat, the person yelling at their kid because they are interrupting their game.
So, again....
