Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Will Moderate Voice and Text Chat

Activision and Treyarch announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will have voice and text chat moderation systems in an effort to foster a positive and welcoming community of players. Several adjustments and upgrades will be implemented to Call of Duty’s anti-toxicity tools, which are greatly improved from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 going into the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Launching on Friday, October 25, Black Ops 6 includes an immersive campaign set after the events of Black Ops Cold War, Treyarch’s beloved round-based Zombies mode, and a fully-featured multiplayer mode with a traditional Prestige system. The new game aims to be a return to form for the Call of Duty franchise, and Treyarch is releasing a lot of information about Black Ops 6 to tell fans everything they need to know before launch. This includes updates to Call of Duty’s moderation systems, as millions of players are expected to delve into multiplayer on day one.

According to the Call of Duty developers on the “Disruptive Behavior” team, Black Ops 6 will have voice and text moderation systems that were already deployed in Modern Warfare 3. This includes Call of Duty’s AI-powered voice moderation system for English, Spanish, and Portuguese languages, with Black Ops 6 adding moderation support for French and German to the system at launch. Moreover, the developers note that text moderation of in-game text chat and usernames will be deployed for twenty languages. A new analysis system for username reports aims to enhance efficiency and accuracy as the team investigates and takes action on possible offenders. A similar system also monitors real-time text chat traffic in Black Ops 6.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Will Launch With Updated Voice and Text Moderation Systems

• Black Ops 6 will feature the AI-powered voice moderation system from Modern Warfare 3.
• French and German moderation support will be available at launch.
• Real-time text chat and username moderation will be deployed for twenty languages, along with an analysis system.

For the past two years, the Call of Duty developers have worked with the California Institute of Technology and University of Chicago in order to make improvements to the franchise’s disruptive behavior approach, such as reductions in time needed for moderation enforcement. Improvements will continue to be made in Black Ops 6, as the team continues to research disruptive behavior and prosocial activities in gaming. As a result, players can expect more Black Ops 6 updates with details regarding tweaks to existing anti-toxicity tools.

The launch of Black Ops 6 is only two weeks away, so players will soon have the opportunity to see some of the voice and text moderation improvements first-hand. Retail copies of Black Ops 6 have already leaked, revealing that players will need at least 137 GB of free storage space in order to play the new Call of Duty game and dive into multiplayer.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
