Use the mute button.

What do you think PGI can actually do about it short of removing in game chat? It's not as though that can monitor all in game communications and short of harassment or things that violate the ToS it's not like they are going to (or should) ban players for being critical.

The best solution is to just not let it bother you, people in online games are going to be critical and the less you let it get under your skin, the more enjoyment you'll have. Ignore it. Move on. If that's not something that you're able to do then the next best option is to block/mute in game when it comes up and you can see their name.

If you're offended by other people, you can just turn comms off. It's just a tick box. Take it a step further, and you can turn all text communication off as well. At your level, anyone on comms is either new, or is consistently not all that good and likely isn't dispensing super useful information anyhow, so you probably won't be detrimented by not listening to them.

Actually- you could really lean into the single player experience and just play MW5. People begging for tech companies to censor anything that mildly inconveniences them- especially when there are buttons to just turn it off yourself- is why we will lose the war.

Mute, block and move on. If it's particularly egregious, report first, then mute and block.

I have blocked/muted so many people in this game it isn't even funny. Mostly because they're the kind of sh**birds that decide that hurling abuse at their teammates is a good idea.

It reminds me of back when I used to work at a convenience store and had to card people for smokes. The ones that claimed to not have their ID on them and responded to being told that I can't sell to them with a profanity infused tirade amazed me. It's like, dude, yeah, now that you've called me a mother ***ing f***** and an ***hole, I totally want to risk a fine of almost 5 weeks pay to sell you cigarettes...
