Call Of Duty Makes Game-Changing Move Against Toxic Players
By ERIK PETROVICH
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is getting a brand-new reporting and punishment feature that will allow moderators to ban specific players entirely from using the in-game chat, both via voice and text. Alongside this new ability comes a new punishment system and Code of Conduct as well as improvements to the player reporting system.
The main alteration to the report screen is a new "more details" section, which allows players to provide more context for the report. Now, instead of checking a box in a multiple choice menu, players can explain exactly what happened — and exactly what was said in the case of voice chat abuse — to help paint a clearer picture of what happened.
Players whose offensive behavior is confirmed by the "Call of Duty" moderators may be subject to silencing, but not at first. For the first offense, a reported player may face a temporary ban, but for the second offense, players can be temporarily banned and barred from playing with friends as well as being muted globally.
