Well done COD players, MW3 is 50% less toxic according to Activision

Modern Warfare 3 players across PS5 and Xbox are keeping it civil, as Activision reports positive changes regarding voice chat moderation.

[TheColbertinator]

Civility in Call of Duty? I will put a stop to this immediately.

[purple101]

Wel they sold 50% less than at its peak
So that’s 50% less players . Muahaaha

[Markdn]

Exactly, it's the mentality to think we would fall for a statement like that, knowing mw3 just hasn't been as successful.

[InUrFoxHole]

🤣

[XiNatsuDragnel]

You mean 50% less players most likely imo

[Einhander1972]

As other have said... that's because the numbers for the game are down.

But ya know, good spin, I can tell you're truly part of Microsoft now.

[Rocketisleague]

It just works

[Rocketisleague]

Best thing about microsoft buying all the companies is memes now fit together that once we're separate

[Memphisdsharp]

Yes... the n word is used every other game, instead of every one...

[Crows90]

What about all the other words...you know

The a, b, c, d, f etc words...

They're perfectly acceptable right?

[fr0sty]

Far more than a slur, yes.

[frostypants]

That's tame compared to some of the stuff I've heard online as of late. People say things that would get a person on an FBI list if only it could be tracked effectively. Straight up violent threats.

[Crows90]

CoD was never toxic to begin with. Not any more toxic than schools, offices and anywhere else where people gather.

This whole toxic thing is only used as an attack on gamers whenever they point things out that the industry wants left alone.

[MrNinosan]

It sure is more toxic.
Yeah, bullshit happens everywhere but behind a screen, people have no limits to behaviour.
My 8 and 10 year old kids asks me every now and then about the new words they hear in Roblox, Fortnite and other online games (they don't speak English as their primary language).

[Crows90]

Ummm. What do you think theyre learning in school?

As I just said. "Toxicity" is in every single social circle. Sure you got bigger bullies every now and then but generally that behavior is not exclusive to CoD or any online game.

They may show themselves in different ways but its all the same.

[SyntheticForm]

The modern use of the word "toxic" is what's really toxic.

[fr0sty]

The modern use of the "I know you are, but what am I" mentality to escape accountability is what is really toxic.

[SyntheticForm]

Violence in response to a slur is absolutely inappropriate under any circumstances, fr0sty.

[fr0sty]

It's far more toxic, because these kids can hide behind their headsets whereas they would have been punched in the face for talking to anyone like that in person.

[SyntheticForm]

Ha. Wouldn't the violence you're advocating for be the ultimate toxicity?

[Profchaos]

Still it's a bit rediculas can headshot and in some games in the series dismember other players but can't call someone else a bad name or hurt their feelings.

Almost an admission that the esrb and global ratings boards are a joke and in fact kids are the main player base.

Anyone else recall back between 07 and 2010 when Activision was fostering the community and it had zero regulation before people were worried about feelings

[tbagmonster]

tHEY JUST FORCED PEOPLE NOT TO TALK AS MUCH

[Travesty]

It’s good for a lot of reasons but for some it’s very annoying. Like for instance I got muted for 30 days for calling a team trash after they killed my team and I killed all three of them. I don’t like being toxic and I don’t even think I was remotely toxic.. but if a team is going to talk trash and then get mad and report you for you giving it back to them it’s not really helping anyone.
Like I’ve heard a lot worse and people not get muted.

[PRIMORDUS]

Poopy

[Ra3030]

Wow! Who didn't see this coming.....Xbox gamers are waiting for this game to come to the Microsoft rental service they're not gonna buy this or any other game. So obviously with the Xbox crowd being the absolute most toxic crowd in gaming things would seem better in any CoD MW3 lobby with these people not in the Call of Duty MW3 game harassing, threatening and bullying other people. I wonder if they'll post a update on the toxic lobbies when this game is on the Microsoft rental service? Obviously that's a rhetorical question we know Microsoft will never report on the increase of the toxic, negative behaviour of the Xbox Cult.

[kraigslist_killa]

Yeah and my mom says I'm handsome.

[jznrpg]

You get a wink too?
Sorry just a bad joke

[EvertonFC]

I don't hear many people at all chatting on the mics on Playstation while playing CoD.
And when I do it's always been random chat and not offensive.

[Barlos]

People never were as chatty on PS though, in pretty much any online game. Or at least that's been the case in my (limited) experience when playing online. We're a quiet bunch

[EvertonFC]

Totally agree and prefer it that way 😂😊

[Gabrielmpf]

I just mute all chat. Problem solved.

[ActualWhiteMan]

50% less sales = 50% less toxic.

😂

[RNTody]

Maybe because it has 50% less sales and players.

[wesnytsfs]

Odd, when you play zombies everyone seems to help each other out. Some modes sound toxic but zombies is not one of them.

[RomanPSX]

This Gen Z cant do nothing right! You cant even properly insult on a COD lobby.
