I actually never ran into that much toxicity with MW2. A little trash talk but not much cringe.
I think this was the kind of thing that happened when someone in the lobby started it first and let the losers feel like they weren't alone.
To me the most toxic part of og MW2 was all the cheaters. I played mostly free-for-all but you saw it in TDM as well. Two guys sitting in the bushes using "tactical insertion" to kill each other over and over and rack up killstreaks. It pissed me off that they never patched it out or even acknowledged the fact that nobody ever used tactical insertion for anything but cheating.
You absolutely did not have the typical MW2 experience then
