"Just like the good ol' days" - Gaming community reacts as The Act Man lauds Call of Duty's proximity chat

sportskeeda.com:

The gaming community shared their reaction to Kelly "The Act Man" posting a comical snippet of his gameplay featuring proximity chat, which is the latest addition to Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. Kelly tweeted a video on November 17, calling the proximity chat the "greatest invention in history."

For those unaware of the proximity chat, it is a term used to describe the action of hearing what opponents are saying in the game. However, users must be within their opponent's vicinity to listen to enemy comms.

COD has a history of toxicity, and it is no surprise that the proximity chat has already caused chaos. The Act Man happens to be one of the first to share the unhinged consequences of the feature. In the clip, after killing an opponent, the streamer was shouted at by the enemy, who exclaimed - "F**k you!"

Reacting to the clip, one user said:

The inclusion of proximity chat means that users can now create comical and clippable moments for what could have been a flat experience without it. Seeing The Act Man share a clip of his gameplay featuring the new addition, fans shared a host of reactions.

One user pointed out that the inclusion of proximity chat is not abundantly found in AAA games. Seeing it in the latest COD installment was a much-needed change for many players.

Another user indicated that the proximity chat has paved the way for players to create unusual clips that can include them blasting songs/audio from their speakers.

Some fans also pointed out that the feature has close links to Death Chat, which is simply a brief second of audio that players can listen to coming out from the speaker of the opponent who has just been killed. Readers should note that players must not use push-to-talk to access proximity chat.
