This is why the Call of Duty Community Will Never be Taken Seriously

Call of Duty's community is mostly made up of young tweens and under aged children. Kids who are transitioning from their Super Mario and Pokemon phase find comfort in Call of Duty's "noob" friendly gameplay. The rest who are of an appropriate age to play, act like the d*&#$% bag in the video below.

Nothing intimidates more than when your voice gets so high only a dog can hear your smack talk...

DragonKnight3803d ago

That's why dogs are in CoD: Ghosts.

How...does a human being even make that noise?

Dee_913803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

I cant even front
this is what me and my cousin do playing madden... or any sport in general.
This was all in good sport though.Its nothing like that online in reality, its 90% racism 10% sexism

"Call of Duty's community is mostly made up of young tweens and under aged children"

...he said, backed by absolutely no facts.

MRMagoo1233802d ago

@silnetnegotiator

All you need to do is jump on COD and get in a room of ppl with mics, thats all the proof needed.

Dee_913802d ago

@MRMagoo123
Yea you can do that with just about any game...

SL1M DADDY3802d ago

Sorry, but in nearly ever match I have played in the last several weeks has not had a single kid yelling into the mic. Oh, and for those who are still to stupid to figure it out, there is a mute function and party chat...

SilentNegotiator3802d ago

@Magoo

Wow, that's some hard-hitting, scientific research right there. Okay, you've convinced me.

DragonKnight3802d ago

@SilentNegotiator: Would it help you to know that Infinity Ward pretty much said it is themselves?

Video summed up in one comment.

Assert manliness by yelling maniacally at teammates and the enemy. Make sure everyone in the entire building know you be PWNIN NEWBZ

Anon19743803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Here's me at the start of every single multiplayer match ever.

"Aaaaannnnd....mute mute mute mute mute mute mute mute mute mute."

No clue why games like this don't have a "mute all" option. It'd be so much easier. I don't know if they do now because I don't think I've played a multiplayer game in a couple of years, but even when I did... a mute all option would have been handy.

Fairchild Channel F3803d ago

Your comment made me chuckle because I do the exact same thing. If it's not some fool like in the video it's girlfriends/wives screaming in the background, kids crying that they want to play, etc.....

Serenity Now!!!

guitarded773803d ago

Yeah, I'm with you. That's one reason I really like battlefield, my friends and I can just get in a squad and bulls#!t while we play. We're not even competitive, we just play for fun, and it's a way for us to hang out since we live all over the place now. But we tend to do very well when we play together... usually taking the top 4 spots on the leaderboards of the match. Playing with others offers a clear advantage, but I have to play with people I like. I can't play with asshats like in the video. The one's I hate most are the people who play music over the headset... I want them to die.

DealWithIt3803d ago

One particular dude had some shitty music in the background all the freakin time I was playing once. That was SO annoying, everyone just left the game in the middle of match...like in 30seconds.

Tetsujin3803d ago

@Deal

Thats #2 on my list, #1 is breathing in the mic.

OT

And this is why I don't play with just anyone online, especially with a mic.

...and then I saw the Xbox 360 logo and it all made sense.

Gazondaily3803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Why is that? Is the COD crowd on PS3/4 made up of really civil and sophisticated people listening to Mozart and wishing everyone a good game?

"Jolly good show chap. I commend thy abilities. I feel compelled to invite thee to some tea and scones"

There was another video of COD gamers (in the UK iirc) being even more abusive and juvenile, insulting mums, abortion jokes etc. That was cringe worthy.

The guy in the video would probably wind me up but remember, its also a mental game (although COD is hardly the most challenging of FPS').

RamsesNum13803d ago

hahahah, I commend thy abilities too. The video you're referring to is embedded in the article too.

http://www.at7addak.com/art...

Gazondaily3803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

Ah Ramses cheers for that. Sorry I missed it. Yeah, that guy would annoy the heck outta me.

OMg re-watched that video. Sorry but this kid thinks he's playing from the safety of his bedroom.

Honestly, who here wouldn't just go up the kid and lamp him across the face for calling you a p***k and d***head? Trash talk is one thing but seriously, that is taking it too far.

If I was in charge of the event I'd disqualify anyone who chats like that.

I don't remember anything like this happening in Counter Strike in the days of the 4Kings etc.

Why that's exactly what they act like, lol. No but seriously, WOW! just WOW! i have not played COD in years but damn thats terrible. Pathetic really.

frostypants3803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

I played Modern Warfare on the PS3 and the others on the 360 (to play with a buddy of mine...though I will never buy another Infinity Ward CoD again).

The 360 crowd is much, much, much worse. MUCH worse. I don't know why, but it is.

Gazondaily3803d ago

@frosty

You probably think that because people actually talk on the 360 version

DragonKnight3803d ago

@Septic: Firstly, thanks for the image of high society British CoD players. That was hilarious.

Secondly, I think the saying "It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt" would apply to the slight jab you made at the Playstation online community.

Also, it could be that many PS gamers are adults who grew up playing games pre-online and are simply used to focusing on the game rather than inane chatter.

Conzul3803d ago

Well this is awkward.

I DO listen to Mozart whilst gaming. It mixes very well with Resogun.

And I simply ADORE tea.

XisThatKid3803d ago

I def listen to mozart, whatevs. I dont get it.

DealWithIt3803d ago

1) I love Mozart.

2) I own PS3.

3) I am polite (not quiet) during online game plays.

4) I despise anyone who is impolite and disproportionately loud, stupid while playing online games.

Hmm...may be there IS a connection between these things.

Lol, stop the trolling Mr, the only reason you see an xbox logo its because this game actually works on xbox live. The PS Notwork is a different story.

That's everything wrong with gaming right there in that video. When he grows up he can transition into his super Mario and pokemon games phase

Please, can Call of Duty leave awful Netflix-style menus behind

Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.

Let's just leave Call Of Duty behind.

anast16d ago

The isn't for you anymore.

BlackCountryBob16d ago

If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.

DefenderOfDoom216d ago (Edited 16d ago )

The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .

smolinsk16d ago

The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.

Players claim Fortnite ruined Call of Duty by letting in more corporate greed

Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.

GoodGuy0928d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.

Tacoboto26d ago

The "good ole days" are actually what drove me away from COD and Halo 3/Reach. Halo 4 becoming a COD-like drove me away from that only a week or so after it launched and I beat its campaign.

It sucked way back then, going a month or two without playing online-shooter-of-the-moment, and then needing to buy a $15 map pack to play with the majority of the population or your favorite playlist. The "community" rejecting Spartan Points in MCC killed that game's support, too. No revenue = no support, plain and simple.

Cacabunga26d ago

That headline could easily be something Spencer could have said 😅 I had to check if it was really an opinion piece

KyRo26d ago

As times gone on, the COD battle pass has got ALOT worse so they can push people to buy the more premium battle pass which itself is a huge rip off and nearly half the price of the base game.

The cosmetics can be fine but they've taken it to far to the point of no return. Why make a military themed game then have rabbits, dinosaurs, cats, rats & z list rappers as skins? You wouldn't add a Lamborghini to a fantasy RPG to replace a horse and you would never see Mario have limb dismemberment because they know what they are. COD is having identity crisis but kids and streamer but then all

franwex27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?

Inverno26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Exactly! Trends don't all need to be followed. Plus where Fortnite got somewhat better with it's monetization, Acti got worse. Or at least Fortnite has lended itself more to the wacky stuff, and has put more effort and quality into that stuff.

jjb198126d ago

I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.

PRIMORDUS26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.

StoneTitan26d ago

I mean cant really blame them for supporting the game that made them the most money and the most people player...ever?

Psychonaut8526d ago

Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance.

Ra303026d ago

100% correct! The makers of Call of Duty ran out of ideas long, long ago so they take ideas from other games like Ghost Recon, Fortnite and any other FPS game hat had success hell CoD remasters maps that they've remastered several times already then charge you again for it. Call of Duty is simply a cut, copy and paste and then put the $70 price on it every year. Activision and now Microsoft has been essentially remastering Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare every year since it was released in 2007 its to the point it's worse than the sports game like the Madden, NBA and others yearly sports franchises.
@Psychonaut85 is spot on "Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance"!
