Activision updates Call of Duty code of conduct to combat toxicity

The firm also clarified its rules regarding cheating, as well as the progress of its new voice moderation system.

Crazy code.

[SyntheticForm]

Did they ban white men?

[tbagmonster]

whites first, then asians

[InUrFoxHole]

No. They did it to themselves then claimed there was a war against them and Christmas. Go figure

[jznrpg]

Made me laugh. Good luck with that

Step 1 in the death of CoD, pretty sure being toxic and hate filled in the lobbies is the main reason ppl play.

[gold_drake]

im pretty sure that will not go well haha. we all swear and say stuff. and COD has been quite the place for it for years, its abit late for all of that.

And that's the problem. Activision has been letting people get away with way too much for years. That's why the cheating is out of hand as well. They need to get seriously tough with the cheating and then go after potty mouths. Honestly, I couldn't careless about the potty mouths, but if it has to be done, then so be it. My concern is them going primarily after cheaters first.

[frostypants]

Swearing is fine but people who say stuff to others that they'd never have the guts to say in person are the worst.

[InUrFoxHole]

What makes you think they wouldn't say it to their faces?

[Rynxie]

The cheating seems to have gotten worse and it's so obvious to the naked eye. Shows you how crappy Activision anti cheat system is, if it can't even detect cheaters properly compared to the naked eye.

Meh when I used to play CoD, I just muted them and let them talk to themselves.

[BlindMango]

There are certain simple things that make a very successful online game, and one of them is giving the people the ability and encouraging them to talk, have fun, and even trash talk. As funny as it sounds, trash talking and "toxicity" starts laughter and competitiveness and it's how you make friends. It's amazing how in the PS3/360 days companies understood and perfected this, and now they have not even the slightest idea what they're doing when it comes to anything with online games. No wonder nobody is playing this game anymore

[frostypants]

Eventually they'll just have AI auto-analyze voice comms from matches and ban people with or without someone reporting it. Not saying I'd agree with it but I'd put money on it happening at some point.

It'd be nice if they updated their staff with better fucking writers. I'm still pissed over MWIII; what a fucking mistake.
