The Twitch streamer NickEh30 actually creates content for Fortnite, but is currently trying out the newly released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Recently, he wished everyone a good game with his cheerful demeanor. However, his teammates were not so open to that.
Who is the streamer?
- Nicholas “NickEh30” Amyoony is one of the largest content creators for the game on YouTube (6.62 million subscribers) and Twitch (4.2 million followers).
- NickEh30 is also among the best Fortnite players in the world. He gained dubious notoriety in 2020 when he openly wanted to cheat in a charity tournament.
- Now, NickEh30 is trying to adopt the image of a family-friendly streamer who wants to score points with good vibes and optimism.
What happened? In one of his recent streams, NickEh30 played a few rounds of Modern Warfare 2. While playing, the streamer noticed: “Spreading good vibes apparently doesn’t work here.”
In the rounds, the voice chat was often less pleasant to listen to. But in one round, some particularly nasty teammates stood out. NickEh30 praised everyone after a victory with a “Good Game” and received, as he predicted, pretty vulgar responses.
The first reaction from another player was: “You suck, N**. Shut up, bitch.” Another noted: “You’re the bottom of the scoreb-“, but couldn’t continue. NickEh30 left the voice chat with a somewhat resigned smile.

That parts of the CoD community can be quite toxic is repeatedly a topic and a major criticism of the game. Even in Modern Warfare (2019), there were occasions of such a coarse tone, that children of the developers were wished death.
The makers of Call of Duty apparently also see this behavior as a problem. Just in September 2022, the news was released that over 500,000 accounts of toxic players were banned, and another 300,000 had to change their names. Already in 2021, 350,000 accounts were banned for toxic behavior.
As seen in the clip of NickEh30, this probably helps only to a limited extent, and the fight against toxic players is likely to be as endless as the fight against cheaters. They simply keep coming back.
In the community, there is even currently a different, quite strange discussion between stubborn parties:
