How’s everyone finding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II so far? The latest CoD title released late last month, and has been receiving high praise from fans for its campaign, visuals, creative maps, and, uh, Ghost being hot? Not everyone is happy about that last point, actually.
If there’s one thing that can totally ruin your experience in an online game though, it’s a toxic chat. A bunch of Overwatch 2 players recently spoke up on Reddit saying that they’ve simply muted the voice chat and don’t use the text channels since they’re just too toxic. However, as Dexerto reports, thanks to a new moderation feature in Modern Warfare II, toxic players may find themselves muted globally by Infinity Ward.
Take a look at some gameplay footage from Modern Warfare II right here.
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is the first title in the franchise to introduce an overhauled in-game reporting system, providing players with more ways to report offensive behaviour and new features for our moderation teams to combat toxicity,” a blog post on the official Call of Duty site reads. “The upgraded system also allows our moderation teams to restrict player features in response to confirmed player reports, as part of our security and enforcement policy.

“If a player is verified to be engaging in offensive voice chat, for example, our system upgrade now allows the moderation team to mute that player globally from all in-game voice chat features. Similarly, our system can restrict text chat features for players found to be abusing in-game global chat.”
Players can use the in-game reporting system to flag toxic players to the moderators - this now includes an optional dialogue box, which people can use to elaborate on their situation a bit more, if they want to.
What’s more, this system will be included in Warzone 2.0 from launch (which is just next week, on 16 November), and will also be added to all future Call of Duty games, which will hopefully make the experience more fun for everyone from here on out.
