DICE hits another punch on infinity ward.
As they (IW) want to block the party chat for XBox-Players, Dice hurries up to let all the world know, that they will not do so. 😛

DICE’s Gordon Van Dyke:

We are ok with [party chat]. We haven’t taken a stance, being against it and feeling like people are cheating. Is it worth putting a restriction on it that affects everybody? I don’t think [cheating with party chat is] that big of an issue, that I’ve seen, where we have to worry about that.

Funny to see, how every new try to get rid of cheaters is commented by DICE with “We don’t see a problem with that!”
We will see, when the game is out … 😉
