"I recently threatened to delete every single bit of data tied to my brother’s gamertag. “Why?” you ask. I’ll tell you why. He was turning his Black Ops emblem into a swastika. Perhaps I was being extreme in my threat, but I was serious. I may joke around a lot (we’re rarely serious on Gametwerp), but I take racism/hate speech/etc very seriously."- ChaingunPope
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.
Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."

Yep the author sums it up perfectly: anonymity. I trash talk in games too, I mean.. who doesn't? But I don't make racial slurs or derogatory remarks (save for yo momma jokes, those make everyone laugh). The CSS server I play on frequently doesn't mind cussing, we're adults after all. But the admin will boot anyone who makes fun of race, gender, sexual orientation. They don't stand for it. Console games can get away with it because there are no admins but PC games like CSS and TF2 are played by a much more mature audience. There will always be that one guy in the server that keeps spouting "LOL I KILLED JEW FAGGOT" and yeah 80% of the time, he will get booted.
I've played a ton of games online. I've killed and been killed. I've never in my life felt the urge to use a racial slur over a video game. Thus I can only summize that video games don't turn anyone into racists or else I'd have said a ton of stuff I find disgusting in the real world. I think racists just feel safe saying what they already feel online because of the anonymity.
I may use racial slurs myself when Im angry, but it's NEVER directed to another player in a game. It's usually me trash talking a game (like Black Ops for how broken the PS3 version is) or my system freezing up (again, caused by something like BO or New Vegas' lockups causing a system freeze.) I DO find it ridiculous, though, that our culture (at least in the US) has people spouting "nugga nugga nugga" every other word all day, EVERY DAY, on ANY online competitive game. I find that if people would STOP saying that kind of stupid shit, maybe you wouldn't hear some 10-year old throwing it around as much. As for the whole swastika thing, it's both a dumb thing to waste time making, but at the same time, the devs put items into this game to create custom emblems which people would abuse (i mean really, who didn't see this kind of stuff coming a mile away? Let alone all the tits and dongs people love to make)
Speak for yourself, Frankly, the biggest problem are the clowns that take gaming too seriously, get angry and frustrated, If you want to win ALL THE TIME then play against your grandmother.
I was under the impression that I was playing a game, I don't lose my countenance over losing a game.
Strangely i don't trash talk. I'm over 18,lol.
But once while playing uncharted 2 online, i had a black man(could tell by the voice) calling me a N. And i'm white.
I think people really think it matters when they get the top stop in a game,did to me years ago. But actually it does not mean anything. It's just fun, so try and laugh while you beat someone, but yeah ok winding people up can be fun:)
