As many of you would well know, the Modern Warfare subreddit has been one of the most toxic call of duty subreddits to exist, so much so that the devs and community manager completely abandoned it.

I get that some things aren’t gonna be perfect in Cold War, however if you have any grievances or something in the game isn’t working as intended etc, make a conscious effort to be polite or at least give your feedback/complaint without raging or being super toxic. I mean people sent IW staff death threats wtf.

It’s so easy to say something like “I can’t attach charms on my gun, there’s something broken with the menu” instead of “f*cking incompetent devs can’t do sh*t they’re so r------ded, games broke and I can’t equip charms for f*ck sake fix your broken game” - this will ensure steady developer interaction and updates I guarantee it.

I doubt it was worse than the Black Ops 4 subreddit even though I guess the level of toxicity doesn't really matter. BO2 or BO3 I forget which had devs getting death threats regarding quick scoping. WW2 had the backlash for allowing multiple ethnicity and genders in the MP aspect. Which says more about the people complaining no matter how much they tried to hide it behind "historical accuracy" or "my grandpa was offended by this, he sacrificed his life"...as if literally everyone doesn't have some type of family member or friend that has served...Then there were MP issues that were actually improved upon. BO3 and BO4 got mostly deserved backlash for MTX. IW and AW for being a little too futuristic.

I'll just say in 2020, one of the main reasons people use the internet is to complain. There is nothing wrong with folks complaining as it helps makes things better but as you said gotta be constructive.

I think some Youtubers do a decent job of being constructive like Drift0r or XclusiveAce. That's the goal for criticism, someone who clearly enjoys the game but wants certain aspects improved. You don't want the extremes of a Tmartn who at times came off as PR for COD games but you definitely don't want the elpresador or Thunder402 that takes a more negative or bitches about a lot of things approach. (I do enjoy him tho). It's gotta be difficult for folks in PR nowadays.

OP is outlining that constructive feedback is far better for community health and interaction than attacks or jabs on peers or the various studios associated with Black Ops Cold War.

I intend to remain present but will definitely elect to not engage with those who are intentionally uncivil or intellectually dishonest as in /r/BlackOps4. We outlined this in our reveal blog.

Thank you for sharing this thread with your peers. Be sure to call people out for their behavior in the future. We can work to make /r/BlackOpsColdWar a healthy subreddit.

Appreciate the response. Yes my wordy response was really just saying I'm sure devs welcome positive and negative feedback. What is not needed is pure rage and attacks or threats.

Correct. Feedback is welcome so long as it is constructive.

Hey, I’ve seen you around the treyarch game subreddits and you obviously work for treyarch. Can you explain your role exactly? Are you the community manager? Social media/communication? Or something else?

I'm your community manager but yes, I wear many hats. You can read my (re)introduction hereINTRODUCING%20FOXHOUNDFPS).
