Original title: "in order to quell the conflict with civilians, COD guides players to solve the problem by aiming."

In the more than ten-year history of the call of Duty series, too many stalks have been born. One of the most popular is "Press F", an interactive reminder from call of Duty: advanced Warfare in 2014, which is a typical case in which the plot does not give players a sense of substitution, resulting in slightly awkward player interaction.

"Press F" has become a meme because of the inexplicable forced interaction elements added to the memorial service, and "respect by F" has become a common understanding of players all over the world, and it is often used to make fun of all kinds of related situations. Over time, there is much less joke, and now you can often see a series of "F" next to "R.I.P" on the Internet.

Generally speaking, however, most of the stalks of call of Duty have been unintentional, but the latest film, call of Duty: modern Warfare 2 2022, is different-developers have created a situation in the game that is hard for players to ignore. creating a new stalker that may be on a par with "F" in the future.

In the game checkpoint "Border tracking", players who play Mexican special forces and track down drug lords across the border between the United States and Mexico will cause resentment among local citizens when they pass through residents' houses. In the curse of NPC, there will be a prompt in front of the player, "long right click to ease the conflict with the residents." In fact, when the player presses, he will find that the gun is aimed directly at the other side, and the residents will immediately raise their hands and beg for mercy.

Many players were caught off guard when they first saw this scene, whether it was the original "de-escalating" or the Chinese version of "relaxation". Combined with the situation shown in the game, the official obviously played a black humor here.

As expected, it was soon regarded as a new famous scene by players at home and abroad, and controversy followed.

The views of overseas netizens on this matter are generally divided into two groups. Led by Youtube blogger Jacob Geller, he thought the scene was "incredible" and his serious feelings attracted millions of netizens.

The likes of Jacob Geller's tweets have exceeded 40,000.

Hasan Piker, a well-known Twitch anchor, paused when he saw the scene in the game, explaining to viewers that the situation was definitely not worth advocating, and then called the game a "war simulator" on his social account.

Many people have also said that IW takes such issues too playfully and not seriously enough. In today's increasingly serious armed attacks, and even in an environment where games are also accused of affecting juvenile delinquency, this kind of joke is not a wise move.

Overseas game media Polygon specifically inquired about some police or military training documents, but did not find any gun threat to "ease" the written requirements and basis of civilians, but actively communicated with them and reduced violence, which was proved to be very useful in practice by some police.

Of course, the other group adheres to the idea that "it's just a game" and thinks that others are more or less overreacting. The "Modern Warfare" series of call of Duty was famous for its war scenes and imagination, as well as the unfettered and infamous plot "No Russian". But now subject to a variety of reasons, the COD series of plots are often criticized as trivial, weak and boring. Now only such a design, the game also has the possibility of being "inflamed".

In fact, some netizens think that the actual situation is contrary to what Jacob Geller and others think, and that it is the developer's mockery of some of the real situation.

No matter how everyone reacts, call of Duty-style "mitigation" is unlikely to be officially removed anytime soon-and hopefully, no matter what the impact in reality, people may often see it in the game community in the future.
