badbutttuesday posted...I'm relating it to the game because i'm on the game forum page. I'm hearing it while playing the game. I don't hear it in my limited suburban world. Not at this level anyway.
I realize the size of the community is bigger then any other game so its a large sample. if you have a million players and 20% are explicit or racist then you have 200 k people. If you have 10 million players then do the math... i get it. The point is that I'm in my late 30's and have been playing games, been in forums, on the internet, to sporting events, etc. etc. and have never seen anything like it.
It was not even close to this in any other game i've ever played. the Killzones, battlefields, bad companies, etc.
I've been playing online games for 14 years, and I honestly don't know how you avoided it until you came to cod.. Even before voip and in-game mic chat were commonplace on PC, people certainly weren't the nicest via keyboard chat. The only difference is that there were often profanity filters, so most people wouldn't bother.
It's just kinda confusing to me that you'd be this shocked. I'm only 21, but it was definitely nothing new to me when I came to cod 2 years ago. You just realize that most people are stupid, that there's a convenient "mute" button, and get over it.
