In a report dated September 29, Activision described work on voice behavior in Black Ops 7 and Warzone. According to the company, the number of players experiencing harmful voice interactions has decreased by approximately 40%.
The comparison applies to the first six months after the release of Black Ops 7 and comparable periods of Black Ops 6 and Warzone. The company also reported a roughly 50% reduction in voice chat violators and a 16% reduction in repeat violators. These are developer metrics, not an independent audit of all matches. Positive actions are studied separately: help, gratitude after revival and exchange of resources. The report does not announce a new mandatory reward mechanic for each message.
