What is most accessible, non-toxic & fun Multiplayer Shooter on consoles currently available? (No Battle Royale)
- Thread starter ekim
- Start date
Nope. It's actually discouraged and only possible with parties afaik.
I'll say call of duty. For some reason, its what I play during the holiday weeks in the winter. I've never found the community to be all that toxic. If you won't play the battle royale, you could play multiplayer with chat off.
I do think you should give warzone a try.

I tried it some three or four years ago with a bunch of friends and we were getting steam rolled left and right by people with all the upgrades unlocked and whatnot though.
I play COD daily, any of the iterations are fine on console with the most players on Modern Warfare (free warzone) and Black Ops Cold War (latest).
I turn off party audio (one time game setting) and have zero issues, the multiplayer games are simple, don't require any real coordination, and it doesn't matter what other people are saying. The nuketown 24x7 are for the most part solo games, just people getting kills and half your team will never touch any objective (half the games will be deathmatch so no big deal). I don't really understand this "multiplayer toxicity" issue people have, I play without mic/headset so what other people say and do has never been a concern for me.
I understand in overwatch where many games ARE objective based, where you NEED a healer and a tank, etc but thats definitely not stuff like COD. Also most battle royales have a solo mode and thats really fun to play, for me. I even solo queue (team fill OFF) in 2s and 3s and do just fine, rarely win but getting to top 10 is satisfying.

I would say no, since there is text chat, but I don't believe it has adopted the in-game comm system that is common in team shooters.
One of the other stronger parts of this game is that if you don't have a group of people you want to play with, you can play as the killer since the game is set up as 4 versus 1. It really is such a unique and effective approach to a multiplayer strategy/action game.
I can only share my experience. I guess I've been lucky. But I'm pretty much a lightweight when it comes to COD. I play maybe 30-60 hours a year and usually have a good time. I haven't put hundreds of hours into any single title. So maybe that might have something to do with it.
If op wants to enjoy something for a couple of weeks, rather than turn it into a daily game, then I think it could be worth considering. Especially if they turn chat off.
For PVE. I gotta go with Deep Rock Galactic. Everyone I have played with has been incredibly nice and fun people to play with and sometimes talk.
Are most people playing as the 4 non-killers usually talking/chatting?
I pretty much avoid everything that involves having to use voice or even text communication. I really like the games that only use pings and whatnot.
I played Friday the 13th, and that game seems very similar to this one. And that one had a lot of the "victim" team constantly chatting.
I would imagine that, like with basically all competitive team games, there is a lot of voice chat in the higher ranks. Turning off the voice chat and playing with visual queues or text should certainly work well enough for you though!
I have a group of four that I play with, so I do use voice chat but it is with IRL friends. I suppose that means I am not super aware of what the average player is like in game.
I think that deals with the toxicity, but the hyper competitive aspect of it is more pronounced than ever with the strict SBMM
Try it again, the only thing to really unlock are scopes. Anybody can be good at titanfall, it as easier to contribute in titanfall because they got a controlled grunts and those add to the team score and then you just gotta get your titan for easy player kills.
There's depth to titanfall like a fighting game.
Splatoon, because you have to jump through alot hoops to be shitty towards someone else. I'd only ask that the switch successor would have built in party chat and if you want randoms in your ear you gotta opt in by default.
I'd recommend double and triple checking your research on Splatoon 2 before buying it based on recommends on this forum; I didn't myself and I'm still annoyed I bought it, it just isn't my cup of tea (not a bad game or anything) but it definitely didn't scratch the shooter itch for me.
I'd give the nod to TMCC.
Also RB6:Siege really isn't all that hard to get into IMO, definitely give it a shot if you get a chance.

Man you don't know about the X rank power climb and trying to stay top 500 😂.
You can climb ranks and struggle to stay in Master's/Diamond/Apex Predator/Immortal/Challenger/whatever from any competitive shooter nowadays. I'm just saying I prefer longer matches in ranked play in shooters.
Big Team Battle is usually pretty safe for newcomers, even in MCC
Splatoon or Destiny 2. The latter's Discord community here is legitimately the most welcoming, helpful and friendly of any game I've been a part of and uplifts the (already great) experience significantly.
The game is also 60fps/4K with an FoV slider on XSX/PS5 and looks stunning as a consequence. Highly recommend.

Yeah BTB isn't terrible most of the time. Occasionally you'll get a Banshee player or a Warthog team that just terrorizes your team of scrubs, but hey, what can you do?
Yeah I've got a few for you.
Battlefront 2. Amazing game that made a great comeback from the initial problems, graphics still hold up to todays best looking MP games . Has very quick progression and always cool stuff to do.
Titanfall 2. Super underrated. People who play are really skilled but there is room for good progression and community is really cool. The game is one of the best of the generation.
Battlefield 4, YES! Oldie but still really good one. Still has a fair amount of people playing and is still really good fun.
