Update 12/04/2022: This article has been changed from its original version to more accurately describe crossmauz's Twitch streams.
Although unsavory Call Of Duty players who employ tactics like cheating to get ahead in recent Call Of Duty installments like last year’s Call Of Duty: Vanguard, most of the online Call Of Duty playerbase is simply looking to test their skills against their fellow FPS aficionados - and some even stream their exploits across the internet.
This has led to plenty of interesting Call Of Duty videos and playthroughs, with some players demonstrating handy tricks they’ve uncovered during high-octane rounds of Call Of Duty. These include Call Of Duty: Warzone players using glitches to enter a normally blocked golden vault, figuring out how to clear pesky zipline campers with explosive gas canisters, and learning the hard way that Call Of Duty: Vanguard’s destructible environments can be just as deadly as any enemy soldier. Some Call Of Duty streamers have become infamous for using special peripherals to play through multiplayer rounds, with Twitch DeanoBeano making headlines for taking down opponents with Donkey Kong’s infamous Bongo controller.
After being shared by Twitter s like latest successful Call Of Duty kill. While plenty of other Twitter s have discussed the safety of the pyro display and joked about them accidentally waking their parents with his Call Of Duty-induced partying, others have pointed out that there seems to be very little game playing actually happening on crossmauz's Twitch streams. Videos of this rave celebration can be viewed below:
Aside from these supposed player antics, the Call Of Duty franchise has been on somewhat shaky ground over the past few years due to a perceived lack of innovation and several controversies surrounding publisher Activision Blizzard. This rings especially true for Call Of Duty: Vanguard, which received some of the series’ lowest sales and critical reception when it launched last November and has arguably been overshadowed by the free-to-play Call Of Duty Warzone in of from Activision. However, there is still plenty of multiplayer content on the way for both, as Warzone and Vanguard are set to receive a playable Operator skin of legendary rapper and FaZe Clan member Snoop Dogg.
There are still plenty of players enjoying Call Of Duty and being especially creative with their playthroughs. If the party from crossmauz is actually gaming-related, one can only imagine what this young Call Of Duty player does after winning a match, considering that every single point is followed by an intense display of music, lasers, and pyro.
