This is the single worst update to ever be put into a multi-player game. COD multi-player, for over 15 years, has been about the community and the social interactions.
For those who don't know, Activision added an update to MW2 that implements AI voice chat moderation. This means that AI is now monitoring every voice interaction looking for slurs and other banned words.
If detected, violators get automatically muted in all of their future multi-player matches.
Now it's no secret that online lobbies have some of the most toxic voice chat interactions imaginable, but that's the fun of it. Trash talking the other team is entirely what makes multi-player games fun.
This update won't actually ban me, because I don't use the n-word, or any other type of slur. I don't even use profanity much. I do however trash talk the other team in a more polite way which still gets them riled up.
The main problem is how many other players are getting banned by this. There are least 2 banned players in every lobby I play in. It's completely destroying the community and eliminating most voice interactions.
