Voice chat was a mistake
30-somethings going all boomer with regard to CoD lobbies is so funny.
Don’t even know why because those early lobbies were awful. Trying to play and you’ve got some prepubescent kid screeching in your ear and giving you early tinnitus.
is it a bunch of children screaming into voice chat? is that what theyre failing to “survive”?
In my experience yes. In the several hundred hours i played there wasn’t even much screaming of slurs. Or even much screaming. It was mostly people on console who didn’t realize they had mics yelling at other people in the house or blasting music. Idk what people are on about.
Romanticizing a mediocre era by imagining that everyone else must have been as openly rabidly racist as they were/are
It’s really funny how these guys are waxing poetic about “growing up” and “being a man” and shit while they STILL haven’t gotten over getting off screaming the N-word online as a 12 year old. Literally the most immature, tantrum-prone people you’ll ever meet
I only played games like CoD, Halo, etc, in parties with friends so I never experienced the lobbies for more than a couple seconds at most, and that was enough for me. I never got why putting up with a bunch of kids screaming or someone who didn’t mute themselves arguing with their spouse/partner/parent was a badge of honor. I just want to sit back, relax, and play some games with friends, not listen to someone blaring music over their shitty mic while someone else eats the loudest snacks possible
I’m still glad I dropped FPS games when MW2 killed dedicated servers.
