I cant speak to CoD specifically, but being able to locate opponents, shots, activity etc by sound is a massive advantage in many multiplayer shooters. I can personally vouch for its relevance in CS, Apex Legends, Arma 2&3, The Finals, DayZ, and Battlefield.
Wouldn’t that make it matter more? If your opponent can’t hear well and is relying on visual twitch to get an unseen opponent, but the unseen opponent can hear their location and is already aiming near the location of the opponent when they round a corner, the player with superior audio potentially has a much faster time to aim
I’ve never used spatial audio in a CoD game - does it really give that much of an advantage in multiplayer? I doubt it but idk

COD is so twitchy I’m not sure it matters that much.
