I have heard it a good few times, right after I've killed an enemy I'll hear obscenities being shouted down the mic or through the TV.

 

Always just figured it was my own team mates.

This is exactly why this feature is NOT a good idea.  All it does is spawn hatred.  Knowing they can hear you when you die leads to nothing but slanderous remarks.  Kids don't need to hear that. 

It also causes a problem with tactical team games.  You can hear the enemy call out your position so you can move and reposition into another spot.  You shouldn't have that benefit.  That's as bad as hearing your dead teammates in S&D tell you where the enemy is.

While I admit it is sometimes funny to hear what the enemy says when I kill them, this option was just stupid and unnecessary.  There is NO benefit to this option being in place.  What were you thinking of IW?

True, it was a perk (eavesdrop) in COD4

Good thing I've got my mic on mute most of the time
