I just got out of a game solo and my Mic was working just fine.
I narrowed it down to believing my mic doesn't work when I'm in a party, which is strange. I guess there's some kind of configuration in my machine the game doesn't like.
As for the Monster, he is so much fun to play! You can really screw with Hunters heads by baiting them in a direction you want using your footsteps.
From the last game I got out of, when the game started, I ran in one direction to plant the footsteps then jumped to the opposite direction then began crouch walking Sam Fisher style which doesn't leave footsteps. All the hunters ran towards the direction of the footsteps and I was on the other side of the map feeding on the wildlife to my hearts content.
