Full-scale start from 'CoD: MW3 (2023)' where real-time voice chat abuse detection system will be introduced in Call of Duty

It has been revealed that the popular FPS game '

Call of Duty ' will be introducing a moderation system that will attempt to flag and regulate players who use abusive language in voice chat. Although it will not result in an immediate ban after detection, it will be possible to identify players who utter hate speech or discriminatory terms in real time. First of all, regulations will begin targeting English.

The new system utilizes ToxMod , a game-specific AI voice chat moderation technology developed by Modulate . ToxMod detects harmful language, including hate speech, discriminatory language, and harassment, and can even differentiate between subtle nuances (e.g., 'Fuck yeah' and 'Fuck you'). Possible. In addition, technology has been introduced to track players over time and determine whether they are simply excited and lash out, or whether they are toxic people who continue to lash out.

When introducing ToxMod to Call of Duty, the vendor Activision explains, ``Although detection is done in real time by AI, countermeasures are not taken immediately.'' Specifically, when the system detects abusive language based on the code of conduct , it flags it, and human moderators review it and take action if there is a violation. In some cases, a ``review of related recordings'' may be conducted before enforcement is carried out.

Hate speech is not tolerated, but small talk and jokes between friends may be overlooked. Additionally, players who don't want their voice controlled are advised to disable in-game voice chat in the settings menu.

At the time of article creation, only English is supported. First, beta versions will be rolled out for '

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II ' and ' Call of Duty: Warzone ' in North America, and ' Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III ' will be released on November 10, 2023, followed by Asia. We plan to introduce a moderation system worldwide except for Languages other than English will be added at a later date.

'Since the launch of Modern Warfare II, the Call of Duty moderation team has restricted more than 1 million accounts. Addressing bad players is extremely important and we appreciate the community's efforts,' Activision said in a statement. Leveraging new technology, building important partnerships, and evolving our mitigation methods are key to our continued efforts. We will continue to work with our community to make Call of Duty fair and fun for everyone. I will continue to do so.”
