While the topic of Call of Duty: Warzone end-match chat has a mixed reception, some players use it as an opportunity to spread joy. In a battle royale environment, players can often get wrapped up in the competition itself and forget to have fun. This can often result in many players raging, but some fans take a different approach when confronted with an open-mic Call of Duty: Warzone lobby.
The community of Call of Duty has a reputation for toxic behavior, but among its many diverse players are a multitude of unique personalities. Depending on the individual, player encounters can be positive, negative, toxic, or surprising. When one group of players ended their game of Plunder, they chose a more surprising option than most.
In a clip posted by MrGoobanich on Reddit, their Call of Duty: Warzone Plunder game ended, leading to players being placed in a communal chat space. In this case, the players explained comments of surprise until suddenly one player starts loudly singing an out-of-tune rendition of a-ha's "Take on Me." Without hesitation, the rest of the lobby joins in, creating a large and out-of-sync chorus belting out the popular song. In the end, one player exclaims that he "loves you guys," and wishes them good future matches.
This is a sharp contrast to a recently posted complaint showcasing a negative Call of Duty: Warzone lobby experience. Rather than loud screaming, hate speech, and other negative feelings, this lobby radiates with a strange level of positivity. It is clear that this group of individuals are all having a good time enjoying a shared gaming experience.
For many fans in the comments, this is proof that the Call of Duty community is not as toxic as is often believed. There are some fun-loving players playing the game, and aside from other issues, Call of Duty can easily be enjoyed with fun lobbies.
Call of Duty: Warzone has changed since its initial release, and this community has grown closer as a result. Rather than cycling through the game every year, the Call of Duty: Warzone community has been able to foster a unique relationship with one another, the development team, and the battle royale itself. If Call of Duty: Warzone continues to persist, it may not be long before the community outgrows its toxic reputation.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
