Recently, i purchased my xbox 360 and ghost recon advanced warfighter. When i get online to chat on the xbox live multiplyer games, it does not work but when i privately chat, it works. Does anyone have any idea what is going on.

I do know that you cannot chat in a game while you are connected to a private chat, even if the other person has left the private chat. You must manually go in and close out the private chat before you can chat again in the game room.

I know, but even if the private chat is turned off, i can't chat online while playing the game.

i had the same problem...i even called in and asked xbox to help, but they just told me to buy a new one. Anyway, what you have to do is go to the parental controls and enable voice chatting with everyone, not just people on your friends lists. you should be able to find it easily
