Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is the first title in the franchise to introduce an overhauled in-game reporting system.
The system provides players with more ways to report offensive behavior and new features for our moderation teams to combat toxicity. The upgraded system also allows moderation teams to restrict player features in response to confirmed player reports, as part of the security and enforcement policy.
If a player is verified to be engaging in offensive voice chat, the system upgrade now allows the moderation team to mute that player. The action will apply to that toxic player globally for all in-game voice chat features. Similarly, the system can restrict text chat features for players found to be abusing in-game global chat.
These features will also launch with Call of Duty: WarzoneTM 2.0 later this year and are foundational for all future Call of Duty titles going forward.
The game development companies created the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 reporting system and moderation features. They include Infinity Ward, High Moon Studios, Sledgehammer Games, Demonware, Treyarch, Activision Player Support, and more.
In-Game Reporting Context
In-game situations are not always one-size-fits-all, so the reporting system now allows players to provide context to their reports.
This optional dialog box allows players to provide more information about the situation. This, along with the entire overhaul, is foundational to the third pillar of the Call of Duty universe Code of Conduct. The third code is to “Stay Vigilant,” providing players with more tools to help report anything offensive or inappropriate they encounter.
These in-game reports are important for identifying and moderating bad behavior. Working together, every player can help make the games a more positive experience for all.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Code of Conduct
At the start of the journey, players will be presented with the Code of Conduct acceptance screen. Acknowledgment of the Code of Conduct is required. The prompt will pop up when players select any multiplayer playlist for the first time.
The in-game Code of Conduct acknowledgment screen first debuted at launch. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 highlighted it during the Open Beta phase. It highlights the mission to combat toxicity during the largest beta in Call of Duty history.
Combating toxicity is an ongoing commitment. Hopefully, this upgraded system will continue to make Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 fair and fun for all.
