a mic is very much a must IMO, although it probably does depend a great deal on the kind of games you intend to play ultimately the cost of the mic compared to the ability to community with friends makes it a must have

A LOT of people swear in their mics, no you can't be banned, but it can be quite rude/qnnoying.

Also, you need a 360 microphone,

Usually they only get kicked from games like Left 4 Dead and Gears of War. You'll be okay for games like COD and Halo. The mic does make it more fun in parties and communication in games is fun though.

I'd rather have only team cooperation than the crap that people say on Live.

Yes, get a mic. Everyone I know, myself included, boots anyone without one from their games.

Some people have ear issues like myself and it feels uncomfortable wearing one although I just bought a new one so it feels better. Though I can understand why you would,

I only really talk to my friends when they are online. Other than that the only time I use my mic is to occasionally strategize with others in multiplayer games and tell someone that they're a jackass.

I hate wearing them. It hurts my ear and most of the community would give me a headache if I didn't have volume control. Everyone should still have a mic online.
