The Call of Duty Community is Still Toxic
By Real Militia
It's no secret that the Call of Duty community has always been a toxic place. From players bashing the game for bugs and not having their preferred gaming mode like Hardcore to blatant vulgar behavior towards other players in game, we still haven't grown up. In fact, you can be banned for offensive language in the game and everything is recorded! Did you read the user agreement or just blast through it so you could start talking crap to other players in game?
If you're streaming it's especially important to be on your best behavior. Nobody wants to hear a streamer complain constantly or cursing at other players. That's bad sportsmanship. Let's grow up and keep it clean, and if you don't like the game don't play. Remember kids are playing!
The Call of Duty community has always been full of toxicity and harassment, and it seems that nothing has changed with the release of Modern Warfare II. From hateful comments directed at both the developers and other players, to streams of players endlessly complaining about balance issues and bugs, it seems that this community is incapable of behaving maturely.
And while some might argue that this toxicity is simply a byproduct of people being passionate about the game, there's a difference between being critical and being downright abusive. Unfortunately, it seems that far too many members of this community fall into the latter category.
It's time for the Call of Duty community to grow up. This toxicity is unacceptable and only serves to drive away potential new players. If we want this franchise to continue thriving, we need to self-regulate and create a more welcoming environment for everyone. Otherwise, we risk driving away the very people we claim to love so much.
