"I too am seriously annoyed with mic use in general, but I doubt this would ever happen. As much as I hate almost anyone that uses a mic lately, there are the rare cases that I'm on a team where one or two (almost never more) people are legitimately using their mic. It would be way too much work to try to figure out who these potential people are if they were muted by default. What I do is take off my headset if a lobby is just too ridiculous. Then I wait until I'm in the game and mute people if it's still bad. That way all I have to do is look at the list of people real quick while the game is loading and mute them in one click."

"Also, you can get the double XP when you 1) prestige and use a prestige token, or 2) pay for elite, both of which will give you two hours of double XP. Though with the prestige token, you can choose between player XP and weapon XP."

"Without knowing how many kills they had exactly it would be hard to tell. My guess is they used hardline, which means they would have only needed 48 kills."
