Over on Reddit, user Gorrick1 shared a video dubbed “Modern Warfare: The art of toxicity.” In it, the player is seen using some of Modern Warfare’s most frustrating loadouts to rack up kills. And while that would normally be aggravating more than anything else, Gorrick1 masterfully created a montage for the kills, all perfectly timed to classical music.

The video mostly takes place on Modern Warfare’s Shipment map, which is well-known for how chaotic it is, though a few others make an appearance. It’s clear that the video must’ve taken quite some time to capture and assemble, and likely resulted in a fair bit of rage from the player’s on the other teams from each map.
Infinity Ward has taken steps to address overpowered and unbalanced weapons in Modern Warfare, recently nerfing several weapons with the Season 4: Reloaded update. Still, some slip through the cracks or simply haven’t been addressed yet, leading to montages like this one being made. That being said, at least something good has come of it.
While toxicity is one thing, Modern Warfare has had a hacker problem as of late, which is drawing quite a bit of negative attention to the game. While Infinity Ward has steadily implemented balance patches and bug fixes, hackers have been a persistent issue since launch, leading to consistent problems in matches for those playing the game honestly. Infinity Ward has taken steps to prevent the issue, but it’s mostly been ineffective.
That being said, Modern Warfare’s online community regularly shares interesting clips of moments in online matches, which has helped form a better online community than what some of the franchise’s previous entries have mustered. That doesn’t mean toxicity doesn’t exist in the community, but it may be a sign that things are slowly beginning to improve.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
