In The Conduit, if you're playing a private game, you can talk to everyone on your team, even if they're not on your Friend's list. If you're playing a public game with friends, you can only hear your friends.

In other words, a friend of a friend (because you can't be in a private game without being a friend of the host, and the host has to be friends with all the participants)

I believe the rule still applies in public matches as I have heard people I haven't got on my friends list (though I muted them)

Not quite.  Say A is the host, A is Friends with B and C, and C is Friends with D.  D can still hear all the other guys, even though he's not Friends with A.

You might be right about the public matches thing, though.

Except D can't join the private game until he is friends with A... it's the same in Mario Kart, to join a private game you have to be friends with the host first.
