Remij 4,672 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/5/21281327/call-of-duty-black-lives-matter-update-modern-warfare Quote Infinity Ward just released an update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that adds a splash screen message in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Players are being told they need to update their client upon finishing multiplayer games, and once they do, the message appears on screen. The Verge has confirmed that the message subsequently appears every time you launch Modern Warfare on a PS4. It also appears on loading screens and when switching to a separate mode like Warzone.

Twinblade★ 3,906 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 He literally said in another thread that he uninstalled the game because of this But still, Im not a fan of these moves. Games are supposed to be an escape from reality, not a platform for political activism or a means for devs to show off their political beliefs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 well it's quite clear the majority of western gamers agree, all of this stuff is thought through in boardrooms where they have stats and figures that confirm that this would be a good move for business. if they thought this would cause a significant number of people to stop playing they wouldn't have done it. they generate goodwill by going with the popular opinion. The gaming industry and the majority of those who play them support BLM. there's nothing controversial or brave about this. Activision is just simply pandering, and that's pathetic.

nitric 472 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I like it, maybe it'll get rid of the shitty racist fanbase that plagues the community. I've seen too many NI66ER nametags on Warzone anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure they're fucking thrilled that they are.. That's the message dude.. COD reaches a lot of people... and a lot of kids and youth. It's a great fucking message. Although I do agree they are pandering... but still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The family does not want this or asked for it. They want the men who killed George to be held accountable and face justice. They don't want riots, looting, pandering messages of support. They want justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mother Fucker 26 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I love when all the bigots and racists of our forum end up being on the wrong side of history. You know had today's technology along with ourselves been around in the 1950s-60s, these fools would be against Martin Luther King Jr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 yeah, and it's fucking hilarious that my online name was banned and i was unable to use it 'untitled1' because it has 'tit' in it. it won't pass the censcors but A1ABAMA N1663R is fine, hell i've seen straight up N word. Retarded ass dev is also covering their tracks for allowing blatantly racist IDs to fester for 6+ months now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
