The reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been a popular release with many players enjoying the title. As a result of the positive reception of the game, the reboot of Modern Warfare has broken sales records and managed to cultivate a huge fan base. The game has now reacted to recent events that have shaken the world and issued a statement that reflects the desires of the teams behind the game to create an inclusive game.
In the wake of the murder of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement has come to the forefront of many people's attention. In response to the appalling murder, many game publishers have shown their support for Black Lives Matter organization and encouraged fans to contribute to causes that tackle racial injustices across America and the world. The developer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward, has now addressed issues of racial inequality that exists in the game.
Infinity Ward has released an in-game statement which has the heading "Black Lives Matter" and proceeds to state that "We stand against the racism and injustice our Black community endures." This is an admirable show of support from the team behind the game and it seems that this is not the only action that Infinity Ward is taking. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is battling against racist names in the game and this seems to be a supported move as many players in the community have responded to the statement by discussing the fact that they have endured racial prejudice and abuse.
The Black Lives Matter message appears every time the game boots up and many will feel that this new message by the game company is appropriate at a time of social turmoil. Although some will question why it has taken recent events to prompt action against racist users and name tags that have been an issue for some time. While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare isn't the only game company taking action after the murder of George Floyd, many will be pleased to see a title with a huge player base addressing these kinds of issues.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is enjoyed by many people across the world and many will support this message that now features in the game. It will be interesting to see how the publisher of the game, Activision Blizzard, will continue to support equality and inclusion in its games. At the moment, it seems that many players want to see the Call of Duty franchise to continue taking action that helps the community become more inclusive.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
