Messenger will keep running in the background, but the game doesn't really
allow you to chat on Messenger while blasting away your foes.
This is a
feature of the game, to make sure that no other application takes the focus
away while you're playing. It's a design decision.
I don't believe there's anything you can really do to change it. You'd have
to check with Electronic Arts, the game manufacturer, to see if there's any
way around it.
