Call of Duty makes fun of PC players

Call of Duty makes fun of the PC players based on the hot debate regarding playing FPS games using a mouse/keyboard or controller.

A user on Reddit shared a screenshot of a reward given in the Warzone Trick or Treat event. The reward says, “HAHA. When in doubt, blame aim assist”. The joke points towards the PC players for their inability to face console players.

PC players have argued over the years that console players have an advantage in playing FPS games since console players have an aim assist, which they don’t. According to these players, aim assist helps them shoot their targets easily, thus lowering the skill level for console players and making the game unfair.

Warzone’s Halloween event brings spooky content to the game

Warzone’s Halloween-themed Trick or Treat event has brought a variety of spooky content to the game. This includes the new Purgatory game mode and holiday-themed map variants.

However, it’s this particular reward that has reignited discussions about the fairness of different input methods in first-person shooters. This is especially in the context of crossplay.

The debate over mouse and keyboard versus controller has been a prevalent issue in the gaming industry for years. Mouse and keyboard setups were long considered superior for FPS games.

But the rise of console-based shooters like Halo and Call of Duty has led to controllers becoming increasingly popular and competitive.

Introduction of crossplay changed the FPS landscape

The introduction of crossplay in many modern games, including Warzone, has further complicated the issue. With crossplay, players from different platforms can compete against each other.

But at the same time, game developers face the challenge of balancing the advantages and disadvantages of each input method.

This debate has risen as the gaming community awaits the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 later this year. The upcoming title is developed by Treyarch and is set in the early 1990s.
