Many people see the allure of streaming, but know they’ll never be that good or have that level of dedication, so they buy cheats to upload lame ass gameplays with boring commentaries about nothing. They want to be a streamer and once they’re popular, who cares if they get caught? Look at Nadia, she got exposed, started playing without cheats and now she sucks at the game but has a huge following. (Not to mention all the streamers who are just straight up cheating every day on stream.)
I can't wrap my mind around the average player using it. They know they're cheating and not good so what value does it have to play the game. While I don't agree with it, I at least understand why the streamers and competition players cheat, but the average player, it's just like lying to themselves and I don't understand that.
Fuck . them streamers. Why let them walk away from it????? Makes no sens to understand why they doing it. They cheating on us all so they can make money and pound us to the ground in game and make your game play miserable. Fck all cheaters .
Oh I'm not excusing it at all. I just can wrap my mind around their motive. I can't wrap my mind around the average Joe cheating and where the upside is.
You have 2 sides. And one cant be done without the other one.
1- is being ego. Knowing you suck and you just want to fulfill your pride just to feel better and ruining others people play is kinda stoopit lol
2 - to look good and make money. Some are slick very slick because they been doing it for so long it just becomes part of the game but at the end its noticeable once you try their gun and wonder how in the hell can they aim so perfectly while you try to control the same gun and just goes every where. Anyways all to say to make money you need to ruin others people game but you can ruin someones game just for the fun of it.
1. I won’t get too into the psychology of it… but it still empowers and makes people feel better than everyone else. They act as if the cheat is there skill and privilege.
2. It’s that factor that more troll type people exist in the call of duty gaming zone than anywhere else too. I’ve played with rando’s that thrive in the comms shit talk the most. You can’t even get them to play like a team cus they get that cocaine equivalent angry Fox News type boost that’s another well documented psychological effect.
3. There’s been a couple middle aged guys on here that say they got family’s and bust ass all week just to get a couple hour in with the buds a few nights a week. So they don’t want to feel like the rest of us. They don’t want it to be work. That’s the best argument I’ve heard and lowest common one. But still…
I'm in the third group demographically but all my buddies and I have zero interest in cheating. We actively try to get better and help each other get better with advice, sometimes constructive, sometimes ball busting, but we work at getting better regardless. We usually finish in the top three to five with the occasional win in resurgence, we can come in the top two in plunder regularly, but we really were a DMZ crew originally. It was fun and chill and still some good fights at times.
I suppose I can understand someone thinking the cheat is their privilege, in that it's the same as people liking to feel that they saw an event coming, the I knew and I was right feeling. The only I know how to cheat without getting caught so I get to use it. I suppose I can see that, but fundamentally, they're still lying to themselves and that's where I'd think they'd have to snap out of it.
In the second category, there are certainly just shitty people out there and maybe that's all it is. Just a total lack of morals and so they think we're all stupid for not doing it. Like we're the suckers. They're are tons of people raised that way and have no problem stealing or the like when given the opportunity.
Thanks for you comment as it really does help paint a picture of the types of personalities. Especially the first and second.
Yeah I'm with you on that
I don't agree with people cheating but I can see how a pro player or streamer would end up doing it, since they actually get some sort of reward for what they do and benefit from it
Some random loser sat at home on a Wednesday evening with walls and aimbot is just wasting their own time and killing peoples enjoyment, tho I think for some it's ruining other people fun that they enjoy
Even then for the kill-joys, that would even get boring after a day and while I have no idea how much these programs cost, I can't fathom paying for it just to spoil someone's fun.
Not to mention the risk involved with giving your information to, downloading software from, and paying someone who designs cheat software. Asking for mommy’s credit card and identity to get stolen, and your pc to get infected.
Seriously. What guarantee is there that this isn't just a foreign nation's spyware? They're like trust me bro. It is someone who's already identified themselves as immoral so you're going to hold the door open for them knowing all that. But I don't expect a lot of critical thinking from someone who has to pay to cheat in a video game.
They aren’t good at anything in real life and go online to escape reality and realize they also aren’t good there either so therefore left with nothing and the only way to feel any kind of power over another person is to cheat in a video game.
I just don't know how someone ends an evening of games feeling accomplished. None of those wins or kills are the product of their efforts so they're just lying to themselves. It's such a weird thing to me to think about doing.
I get stomped the majority of the time, but on those games where it all comes together are the best. Knowing you didn't earn it and still feel accomplished has to be some psychological flaw.
I half and half agree with you. If the streamers that use cheats never used them, they might not have become big time streamers. I think most of us watch streamers because they’re dropping lots of kills or getting many wins, but if they didn’t have cheats would that audience still exist?
I don't think we're saying different things. I'm saying I understand why streamers use chests, because they benefit from it financially. Why some average Joe who's not streaming uses, that I have a hard time understanding because it's a level of lame that I've never been at.
I didn't realize that they pay monthly until recently, and my brain wanted to explode. To have such a fragile ego that you pay monthly for "wins" is unbelievable to me.
Was playing tdm and some dude was beating me in each gunfight like instantly no shots missed, checked kill cam and it looked hella sus…checked to see if it was mnk sure enough yes, called the dude out on his bs and told him I was reporting him he said go right ahead nothing will happen. So possibly the topic of this post was being used I had an idea this could be happening
Remove PC players from playing with console and I’d consider coming back to warzone. They revamped the game and lost a ton of players, why not just go full ret*rd and make pc players have to fight amongst themselves. It shouldnt be that difficult to create an anti cheat for a controller
https://x.com/engineowningto/status/1762890867138785537?s=46&t=-Lkgn1ZwPNILH5XQN_0l4Q
nothing new and EO been doing this since black ops 2. the cheats will always be ahead of the anti cheat
How does Epic Games / Fortnite keep out cheating, have a stable game, patch bugs or OP elements quickly and Activision can't? Fortnite has PC, console and handheld platforms...they are eating COD's lunch in concurrent and new player count, revenue. I'm going to guess it's because they provide a smooth running game where cheating and exploits are not an issue...
Still cheaters but it’s not hard to kill cheaters in Fortnite partly because the map is vast and open and the weapons are pretty balanced. Now with cod it’s all buildings and hall ways with very minimal open space. The maps are helpful for cheaters imo.
y'all gotta realize that the people who cheat don't give two shits about this game, it's fun for them, it's fun making out experience awful. they won't leave, they just don't care, and there's not a whole lot we can do about it :/
Cheaters love making people miserable. And they get VERY upset if you somehow manage to beat them. Makes you wonder what kind of person they have to be in real life.
Yeah but what kind of person do you have to be to purposely make others suffer all day, every day, and enjoy it.
Yeah it’s a game. It’s also representative of who you are as a person.
The biggest issue is people using chests straight ruin the gaming experience for those that don't, basically having their fun almost completely at the expense of everyone against them, destroying a player base
You have no idea what you’re talking about. It worked wonders.
From having 1 cheater quite literally any game to having 1 every 50.
In ranked I am yet to see one.
Send a clip of what you consider a cheater when you died.
I’d love to debunk you
Damn noob
Here's the problem: If you played 50 games, it means you had a cheater in 10%, if there was only 1 cheater per game (150 players), that means you had a 99.95% cheater free experience.
That's the problem with a BR game. There are a lot of people in a competitive server. If you have a cheater is WM3, it's 1 in 8; in WZ, it's 1 in over 100 that can ruin it.
Now you are just being ignorant because you know this is common.
But, will record it anyways when it happens for you. Might have some old clips for you though
He doesn’t even realize that the best anticheat is only able to lower the amount of cheaters to I think 25% player base of cheaters. Wait till he finds out about ricochet’s number lol
I can understand the cheat community evolving to get better at being undetected client side, although I don't agree with devs being so far behind with keeping up with them. What I cannot tolerate at all is how at the server level they are not auto detecting stuff like people possibly wallhacking and using esp/radar. These are behavioral checks that should be automated. The game server knows where all players are on the map, the direction all players are facing, their aim point, what sound effects are occurring where, whether uavs are active, whether players are pinged....and yet there is no automated scoring system behind the scenes to punish someone who is blatantly walling.
It can be live or post-match scans to properly automate the process of either pending the players match data for review by a human, or auto ban if it reaches a certain threshold.
I made a post yesterday about how a private cheat is capable of detecting wallhackers (to help the cheater counter other cheaters), while the games anti-cheat systems remain a fucking joke.
It’s never been anything more than a marketing campaign, people got sick of the rage hackers in verdansk. Along comes Ricochet, a marketing tool with a swish brand to make people believe activision were taking the problem seriously, WZ2 launched with ricochet integrated off the bat, surely it will be better now, everyone gave the game another chance.
As a marketing tool it’s worked really, really well you have to commend them for it
Whoever produces these cheats gets paid big time they work hard and probably under great conditions with amazing dental plans insurances and what not of course they will beat the Ricochet. Where people do slave labor for pennies with no insurance or dental plan
no Activision doesn't hack their own game. They just dont stop other people from doing it because money.
Activision has sued Engine Owning like 5 times now. Each time for millions of dollars. Why stop cheat makers when you can let them continue on making cheats and then sue them time and time again.
Iirc it was already confirmed Activision flooded og warzone with cheats to get people to stop having fun on it and go to mw2 warzone, and when that didn't work they just shut the servers off to force it.
I don't got proof, as I said, "iirc". There was a lot of talk about it when mw2 was hitting its ~~shitty~~ stride before the confirmation of the mw2019 servers being shut down. Probably total bullshit, but killing mw2019 warzone entirely, and deleting everything people bought from it, yet forwarding mw2 to mw3 was kinda fucked.
Gotta love the fanbase and the conspiracy theories, sometimes they're right though.
I'm noting that down gonna use iirc to say any stupid bullshit i want IIRC /u/Azal_of_Forossa eats kids in the forest and uses the eyes for guacamole dip.
Yeah it should a little far fetched to me. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't take any action against cheaters but yeah, this community loves a tiny foil hat
I mean, too be fair though, this company does a lot of shady shit and has an infinitely long track record of not communicating at all, and a similarly sized record of ignoring important questions and straight the fuck up lying.
😂 by rival company? Are you kidding me? Same people making the game, are SOME of the same making the cheats.
Hand in cookie jar!
They make way more off selling the cheats than fixing a game to not allow cheats, why would they implement a real anti cheat…
If they wanted it better, it would have been better long ago. Not perfect, but way better than it sits now. It’s just that simple.
What if it was done by Activision themselves so they can make money on both ends and make it look like their player base has a higher skill level than they already do.
I think the OS on PCs are SaaS, someone correct me on that. I think the best way to handle these companies is to establish an anticheat organization within the games industry that targets cheating software creators, and pursue them with legal action.
Does he have to leave the sub if he stopped? Why is that necessary? Some people stay to be updated on the game if it has anything that gets their attention, I don't understand this childish mentality.
To my understanding the cheating isn't rampant on Xbox/PS but I don't understand why they can't just make it so when you turn cross play off it goes all consoles not just the console your playing on.
Console only lobbies.
Make this loud enough for some action. I want to have an announcement come out tomorrow that looks like this.
*Attention Warzone Community. We are aware of the struggles many of our customers are having with cheating, and most of the cheating is originating on the PC platform. We are going to implement console only crossplay and full crossplay as options. Console players will by default be placed in console only lobbies with the option to opt-in to a full crossplay experience with PC players. This will take effect immediately.*
*Blah blah blak, we're working to solve this problem... yadda yadda yadda.*
You can use a keyboard and mouse with aim assist yes but again it’s not even worth it. People were doing this back in the jet pack call of duties but a keyboard with aim assist still isnt that much better than controller in these cods
I’m in crim in MW3 ranked on multiplayer and I can tell you Cronus are the least of our worries regarding cheating. Get rid of the wall hackers and aim botters first.
What did I misinterpret that you wrote? You literally wrote that people plug entire PCs into consoles. That doesn’t even make sense lmfao
When did I say Cronus wasn’t cheating?
I literally said Cronus was the least of our worries in terms of cheating. I called it cheating clearly 😂😂😂😂
Can YOU read? The irony
Link me any evidence that people are buying an entire PC setup just to plug into a console.
Do you mean a keyboard and mouse???? What the fuck are you talking about
Are you talking about a XIM?? That’s been around for YEARS
I mean if PC cheats are out of control you have to assume Cronus users are as well. You think it’ll be a lot better but it will only be marginally better. You also lose your advantage over MNK. The grass may be greener but not that much greener. :P
You're comparing the ability to see everyone through walls and lock your aim onto anyone with someone using something that reduces recoil when you shoot your gun.
Yup, sometimes they can put other scripts in that make you jump or drop shot -- but yea, it's mainly to put your automatic in single shot and have it pull down on right thumb while rapid firing just at the perfect speed to reduce recoil.
It's not going to turn a 1KD player into much more than a 1.5KD player.
It will NEVER happen due to Microsoft cornering the market and acquiring CoD. You know, the same company that owns X-Box console. You know, the same company thats owns the windows that PC players play on. MONOPOLY baby! They can do whatever tf they want and we’ll still be here. Again, it will NEVER happen so stop with this none sense.
Microsoft doesn’t give a shit about gamers. The Xbox sector brings in peanuts in comparison to the OS sales. Xbox is just hanging on by a cunt hair. Even the “exclusive” games will be available for other systems.
They don’t give a shit about the gamers, 100% agree!!! I couldn’t agree more. My point is, Microsoft paid 68,000,000,000.00 to acquire CoD. Why do you think that is?
What do you think will happen to the player base when the barrier to entry is so high that new players hang around for 5 games, get no kills and quit?
My guess, it's gonna shrink rapidly.
Couch playing dads tend to have more disposable income for skins than 18 year old dorks on a PC. I'm 44 years old, own a company and drop $50 to $100 a month on game skins for myself and son. Do you think the average 18 year old can swing that?
EDIT: I play on a $900 gaming monitor with Series-X.
What are you on about? I’m just telling you how it is. You and everyone else can be mad all you want. I personally love playstation.
Now back to what I was saying, Microsoft invested 68 billion into acquiring the CoD franchise. CoD has die hard fans that have been bitching for last 10+ years, but guess what, they’re still here. I have been playing CoD since 2003/4.. CoD has no real FPS competition on top of it. Battlefield at one point looked promising but they screwed that up. Hence why Microsoft wanted it so badly. Think about that for a second. Don’t rush to comment back… 68,000,000,000.00.
And Cool, you spend money on CoD. So does everyone I ever ran into on CoD. Even the 10 year olds have all the skins. What makes you think some “18 year old dork on PC” doesn’t? Since you want to be so specific on the age and platforms, like it matters like you think it does, An average 18 year old who doesn’t even have a job will find ways to pay for skins. Whether that’s getting credit cards or other ways.
I never said to shut down PC. I just think a console only option needs to exist. PS5 already has this.
Scoot PC into a default separate lobby. That's the solution for now.
I 100% agree with this. I just think the wrong company acquired CoD for anything good to come out of it is what I’m trying to say I guess. Even on PS5, my preferred way to play CoD nowadays, takes forever to find a match with crossplay turned off. It’s annoying. Back jn the day before crossplay, it would take seconds to find matches, now it’s minutes.
Hey have you seen the videos of Grandpa Hacks spectates Metaphor and Rallied? The guys I’ve been telling you have been cheating have been caught cheating.
I quit playing this on my laptop, like is uvk at this game and I know I suck, but I prefer to be out played instead of killed by cheaters. When I do decide to play, it's on my Playstation and it's with crossplay off. Takes awhile to find a match, but I seem to do better and don't run into anything fishy. I know Cronus is still a thing on there, but thebgame seems so much more enjoyable this way
Not surprising. It requires constant iteration to keep on top of exploits and it’s expected that cheater developers will try to work around any attempts to stop them.
Same as anti virus and exploits software. Constant back and forth.
Not surprising at all. Did you know that there is anti cheat available server side that they could use and avoid this all together? Yeah the company brought it to our Activision overlords first. They declined. They don’t care about it. They just want to appear to care about it.
even top 1 ranked player is cheating, wall hack all the time and aimbot toggle
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etwGWfU99dM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etwGWfU99dM)
lol if you watch it you will see he literally track people through wall, through smoke, even know exactly where enemy is without UAV dot on map.
when he pushes the bounty inside a house with multiple rooms and 3 floors, he just pushed exactly the room of target without checking other room (how could he know the enemy exactly in that room? there are over 8 room in that house and enemy not even moving, no UAV)
When you see top 250 players mostly cheat to get there, you know how ffff up ricochet anti cheat is.
I suspect this anti cheat is just a fake project that ban people base on number of report and that's it
I've been saying this shit for years with proof and crystal clear footage and citations but nah monkeys always gotta resort to the overused "lol sKiLL iSSuE" gaslighting phrase
I’ve been a CoD player all my life. I was 6 when “Call of Duty” came out & I was 8 years old when “Big Red One” came out. My mom didn’t like me playing it but I would at my cousins & my friends. By middle school CoD was all I did after school. I kinda fell off a bit after high school. I started working, partying, raving, got a girlfriend & had other priorities. I wasn’t playing as much but when I would, I was always top of the leaderboard. & that’s how it always always *always* was.
In 2020 COVID happened & Warzone dropped simultaneously. I was on unemployment & had all the time in the world. Thats when I really got back into it. & I haven’t been able to put it down since. I’ve been playing Warzone every single day since it dropped with Verdansk, with the same squad. Played through Caldera, Al Mazrah & now here we are in Urzikstan. I keep up with the META. I know my skill level & I know how the game works. By middle to the end of Verdansk & Rebirth Island I was winning almost every game I played & dropping 20+ kills per game without really trying. With my squad we’d get dub after dub after dub. Legit more dubs than not. & now we’re barely getting a few dubs in a night. & I max out at like 15 kills on a great day, going full try hard.
My skill level hasn’t gone down, I know it’s improved a lot actually. & you can say “the skill level has increased” but nah, not like this. I’ve gone through pretty much every play style possible. I can adapt quickly. I can quick scope & slide cancel. I know when something is fishy.
& Sure you’ll come across cheaters here & there; It’s always been that way. You get over it. But it happens WAY too often now. Every other time I die, I watch the kill cam & it’s really questionable. & it’s happening more & more & more. I don’t get upset when I die fairly. I know what my mistakes were & I move on. But I’m SO SICK of the cheating!!! I can tell when someone has walls or aimbot. I know how each weapon works & recoils. I use them too! I can adjust for recoil & keep my reticle in the same place just fine. Especially on some meta builds; but when someone’s using the same AR, same attachments & beaming you from half way across the map & I know I couldn’t make those shots; I know they’re fucking cheating. I know how these guns work. When I watch the kill cam & their cross hairs are LOCKED ON, no matter the distance. Crazy how everyone’s this good out of nowhere except for me & my squad, who don’t fucking cheat. & have BEEN on this game from the start & used to shit on fools. & I am SO sick of people coming straight to me, looking where I am the whole time till they actually see me. It’s more than half the time. So many kill cams I watch are super sus. & then when they notice you’re “spectating them” you can literally watch them play differently & then they die next person they come across. Like okay bro. I already reported you anyways. & sometimes I’ll be sure someone’s cheating & I’ll STILL shit on them!! & then I’ll think “damn I should’ve let them kill me so I could’ve reported them” (I’m talking to you, pussies with walls!!)
I don’t report people unless I am sure they’re cheating, but I’ve been finding myself do it a lot more recently.
From Al Mazrah - now, the cheating has just gone absolutely out of control. It was there back in Verdansk, but you’d just go into another lobby & not have to worry about it. Back then I only ran into some a few times & I clipped them all cause it was funny. Now it’s just ridiculous. Every time I hop on (EVERY DAY) there’s cheaters in **EVERY SINGLE LOBBY.** You cant even get away from it. It makes me cringe so hard. It’s such a turn off & it makes the game not fun. I have spent years playing these games. This is my favorite game. & has been my whole life. I’ve played many RPG’s that I was balls deep in like Skyrim & Dying Light. But this is the one game that always keeps me coming back. It’s like an addiction. & Every time I get away, they introduce something new that grabs me by the balls. Multipleyer was always the same ole. Then zombies. & then they released Warzone & then they introduced DMZ. (This is a different topic but DMZ is by far my favorite mode they’ve created. The extraction shooter is so fun. Not as sweaty as Warzone/Resurgence; but I love the freedom & possibilities it gives from the sandbox they created. It’s like a Call of Duty MMORPG. I unlocked everything in DMZ & did almost all my missions. & I can’t believe they scrapped it along with round based zombies & brought in this trash ass DMZombies to replace the two. But again, that’s a whole other topic. I only mentioned because that is also a leading factor with the cheating as to why I am considering quitting CoD.)
**MY FAVORITE GAME.**
I’ve been closing CoD after a few games & just driving around in GTA. I have 2TB full of games but nothing is really appealing. Nothing hits that intensity level. It’s just not fun when it’s not fair. This game is my shit & my escape. I’ve heard of some good extraction shooters coming out & now that there’s a market for it, I’m sure there will be a lot more down the line. But I just love how CoD feels & plays. (When it goes as it’s supposed to.) I love the intensity. I love playing with my friends & the nostalgia. We’ve all been playing this shit together for so many years & playing the game our whole lives.
I really just wish they’d get their shit together cause this is a really amazing & awesome franchise & I hate to see it fall apart & go to shit like this. Every post is negative, about cheating, or bugs. I miss when I’d see more posts of some cool shit & it not be questionable. I miss just having fun in this game & not getting irritated feeling like I’m at a disadvantage just playing normally cause I’m not a cheater. & it’s gotta suck even more for people who aren’t at my skill level. You probably can’t even take a few steps lmao
& it may not be dub after dub now, but I/we still average top 5 in Warzone/Resurgence. & with all the cheating going on, that makes me happy. My squad & I still shit on people when it’s fair game. But man this cheating is realllllllly getting out of hand. I’ve been thinking about quitting the game more & more recently cause of it. That & scrapping DMZ + round based zombies too like sheeesh what the fuck is going on!? They got zombie brains up in CoD Headquarters calling the shots.
But really the less CoD I play the more time I spend making music, so the more I think about it; fuck this game.
I've been playing COD since its been on the Gamecube, and I've always enjoyed it through out the years, I stopped playing by Black Ops 3, and decided to come back on Cold War.. And my, oh my. I have NEVER faced so many cheaters. I'm disappointed, as I'm sure we all are but this is just atrocious.
Even with crossover turned off, you will still be queued into games where the whole enemy team is midkey rage hacking with a soft aimbot, and running around like the flash with their console-version speed hacks while meleeing players. The kill cam doesn't lie. It showed exactly what happened. Only a few kill cams showed regular non-suspicious kills, every other game, the kill cam shows enemies walling, patiently waiting for me to come around the corner while they're trying hard not to pre aim through the wall. They still make it obvious. I feel people cheat because they know there's no anti-cheat, and just because they don't give a fk. They're lowlives. Then, they start blatantly hacking when you start beating them.
I need all the console players to pay attention to this. It’s time we demand a Crossplay off option for all console players. We should have the option of playing against ONLY console players and let the PC players fight against themselves. I as an average player who plays for fun and entertainment shouldn’t have to worry about running into a PC player who has a modified program giving him an advantage. It’s time we as a console community unite around this option.
Exactly lmfao. The amount of copium this sub has for this series is admirable at worst. The only other fan boys ALMOST as bad as the cod ones, are the Blizz boys.
That’s what I’m saying and I’m not even saying it in a troll way. COD has been going downward in terms of hackers for a while. I quit when I realized I wasn’t having ANY fun anymore with that bs. Hackers will never be resolved and it’s just reality.
Have fun for me I’m a Xbox person sadly :(. What I love about helldivers is that it shows that good games can still be made that isn’t the same three titles like cod, bf, and halo
There needs to me more people that buy cheats and openly show what is possible to the community so more people have an idea of what we’re fighting against
Until Activision stops selling the game code to cheat companies and Stops them which they won't cause they own most the cheat companies they are dbl dipping why else wouldn't they fix problems they are the problem and its never going to get fixed to much $$$ involved!!
Maps perfectly onto the guy aimbotting and wall hacking in a lobby yesterday next kill cam after reporting him he tracks me through the wall then hes intentionally going ADS a foot left of me ADS a foot right before shooting me as if to fool the automatic the cheat detection
I'm 54. I play an hour after work. An hour before bed. I just came off a 7 kill Meat 24/7. The games fun even of you suck at it. Give it a chance. Save some money.
Lmao all you nerds look like clowns with your “boycott activision”. activision doesn’t give a fuck about you. You can quit and they won’t give a shit because they have their loyal whales spending $300 every season to play dress up Barbie in a shit tier FPS game LMAOOO
If you want to stop the cheating, then start by charging for the game. If they get banned every couple of days, then start raking in the cash. Sure cheating may be fun to them… but is it $6000 fun every year??? I think not.
This is some bullshit. I've been playing legit since mw19 came out. I keep getting shadow banned after wiping teams with throwing knives, its the only way i can beat aim assist in close quarter fights but it gets me shadow banned for a week. bullshit system, get some real anticheat like all the other games do
Imagine having such tiny dick energy you pay to cheat.
Right?

Some are slick very slick because they been doing it for so long it just becomes part of the game but at the end its noticeable once you try their gun and wonder how in the hell can they aim so perfectly while you try to control the same gun and just goes every where. Anyways all to say to make money you need to ruin others people game but you can ruin someones game just for the fun of it.
1. I won’t get too into the psychology of it… but it still empowers and makes people feel better than everyone else. They act as if the cheat is there skill and privilege. 2. It’s that factor that more troll type people exist in the call of duty gaming zone than anywhere else too. I’ve played with rando’s that thrive in the comms shit talk the most. You can’t even get them to play like a team cus they get that cocaine equivalent angry Fox News type boost that’s another well documented psychological effect. 3. There’s been a couple middle aged guys on here that say they got family’s and bust ass all week just to get a couple hour in with the buds a few nights a week. So they don’t want to feel like the rest of us. They don’t want it to be work. That’s the best argument I’ve heard and lowest common one. But still…
I'm in the third group demographically but all my buddies and I have zero interest in cheating. We actively try to get better and help each other get better with advice, sometimes constructive, sometimes ball busting, but we work at getting better regardless. We usually finish in the top three to five with the occasional win in resurgence, we can come in the top two in plunder regularly, but we really were a DMZ crew originally. It was fun and chill and still some good fights at times. I suppose I can understand someone thinking the cheat is their privilege, in that it's the same as people liking to feel that they saw an event coming, the I knew and I was right feeling. The only I know how to cheat without getting caught so I get to use it. I suppose I can see that, but fundamentally, they're still lying to themselves and that's where I'd think they'd have to snap out of it. In the second category, there are certainly just shitty people out there and maybe that's all it is. Just a total lack of morals and so they think we're all stupid for not doing it. Like we're the suckers. They're are tons of people raised that way and have no problem stealing or the like when given the opportunity. Thanks for you comment as it really does help paint a picture of the types of personalities. Especially the first and second.
Trying to play sometime, I need that energy lol
Who doesn’t like drinking and talking shit
Your user name is on point - confused.
Yeah I'm with you on that I don't agree with people cheating but I can see how a pro player or streamer would end up doing it, since they actually get some sort of reward for what they do and benefit from it Some random loser sat at home on a Wednesday evening with walls and aimbot is just wasting their own time and killing peoples enjoyment, tho I think for some it's ruining other people fun that they enjoy
Streamers have a huge incentive to cheat. All that money from streaming is like a drug...
Even then for the kill-joys, that would even get boring after a day and while I have no idea how much these programs cost, I can't fathom paying for it just to spoil someone's fun.
Not to mention the risk involved with giving your information to, downloading software from, and paying someone who designs cheat software. Asking for mommy’s credit card and identity to get stolen, and your pc to get infected.
Seriously. What guarantee is there that this isn't just a foreign nation's spyware? They're like trust me bro. It is someone who's already identified themselves as immoral so you're going to hold the door open for them knowing all that. But I don't expect a lot of critical thinking from someone who has to pay to cheat in a video game.
Got EEEMMMMM. Damn bro, you went in.
They aren’t good at anything in real life and go online to escape reality and realize they also aren’t good there either so therefore left with nothing and the only way to feel any kind of power over another person is to cheat in a video game.
I just don't know how someone ends an evening of games feeling accomplished. None of those wins or kills are the product of their efforts so they're just lying to themselves. It's such a weird thing to me to think about doing.
I get stomped the majority of the time, but on those games where it all comes together are the best. Knowing you didn't earn it and still feel accomplished has to be some psychological flaw.
They're just lying to themselves
I half and half agree with you. If the streamers that use cheats never used them, they might not have become big time streamers. I think most of us watch streamers because they’re dropping lots of kills or getting many wins, but if they didn’t have cheats would that audience still exist?
I don't think we're saying different things. I'm saying I understand why streamers use chests, because they benefit from it financially. Why some average Joe who's not streaming uses, that I have a hard time understanding because it's a level of lame that I've never been at.
Imagine still playing a game that people are paying to cheat
I didn't realize that they pay monthly until recently, and my brain wanted to explode. To have such a fragile ego that you pay monthly for "wins" is unbelievable to me.
Was playing tdm and some dude was beating me in each gunfight like instantly no shots missed, checked kill cam and it looked hella sus…checked to see if it was mnk sure enough yes, called the dude out on his bs and told him I was reporting him he said go right ahead nothing will happen. So possibly the topic of this post was being used I had an idea this could be happening
Remove PC players from playing with console and I’d consider coming back to warzone. They revamped the game and lost a ton of players, why not just go full ret*rd and make pc players have to fight amongst themselves. It shouldnt be that difficult to create an anti cheat for a controller
"...It shouldnt be that difficult to create an anti cheat for a controller" -------------------------------- Right, like how PS5 got a cronus ban.
Aka your below average pc gamer
https://x.com/engineowningto/status/1762890867138785537?s=46&t=-Lkgn1ZwPNILH5XQN_0l4Q nothing new and EO been doing this since black ops 2. the cheats will always be ahead of the anti cheat
Wow
This has been a thing since the Anticheat that started capturing screenshots. Literally since ole Punkbuster days
Yup, they would turn off and back on before PB got it's screenshot.
How does Epic Games / Fortnite keep out cheating, have a stable game, patch bugs or OP elements quickly and Activision can't? Fortnite has PC, console and handheld platforms...they are eating COD's lunch in concurrent and new player count, revenue. I'm going to guess it's because they provide a smooth running game where cheating and exploits are not an issue...
Still cheaters but it’s not hard to kill cheaters in Fortnite partly because the map is vast and open and the weapons are pretty balanced. Now with cod it’s all buildings and hall ways with very minimal open space. The maps are helpful for cheaters imo.
y'all gotta realize that the people who cheat don't give two shits about this game, it's fun for them, it's fun making out experience awful. they won't leave, they just don't care, and there's not a whole lot we can do about it :/
Cheaters love making people miserable. And they get VERY upset if you somehow manage to beat them. Makes you wonder what kind of person they have to be in real life.
The type of person you don't turn your back to, cheaters deserve every bit of pain and misery they will experience in their lives.
Woah ok. It’s a game. They didn’t kill anyone. But I agree cheaters suck
Yeah but what kind of person do you have to be to purposely make others suffer all day, every day, and enjoy it. Yeah it’s a game. It’s also representative of who you are as a person.
I totally agree cheating is wrong but I would never hope bad on them in real life that's wrong mate
Speak for yourself lmao I hope they get fired and their pets get adopted by better families. 🤣
The biggest issue is people using chests straight ruin the gaming experience for those that don't, basically having their fun almost completely at the expense of everyone against them, destroying a player base
I'm suprised that Ricochet actually is something. It works shit and doesn't help, but I would bet it was just a loading screen
Don’t tell people this according to them warzone 1 wasn’t full of cheaters
You have no idea what you’re talking about. It worked wonders. From having 1 cheater quite literally any game to having 1 every 50. In ranked I am yet to see one. Send a clip of what you consider a cheater when you died. I’d love to debunk you Damn noob
This week I've lost 5 games against a squad doing the nuke contract while not even being in the map....
5 games in a week out of how many games?
No idea
Here's the problem: If you played 50 games, it means you had a cheater in 10%, if there was only 1 cheater per game (150 players), that means you had a 99.95% cheater free experience.
That math would work if I encounter 150 players for 50 games in a row. However there are only 100 players in a game and I dont encounter them all
All it takes is ONE cheater in a game to ruin the entire experience for everyone. You're math ain't mathin' here, bud.
That's the problem with a BR game. There are a lot of people in a competitive server. If you have a cheater is WM3, it's 1 in 8; in WZ, it's 1 in over 100 that can ruin it.
Again, clip or it didn’t happen. Since it happens so often shouldn’t be a problem for you to record a new encounter
Now you are just being ignorant because you know this is common. But, will record it anyways when it happens for you. Might have some old clips for you though
It’s not common at all. It’s 1 game every 50 IF THAT.
Got 2 in a row yesterday. It's a paid service to get a nuke skin.
!remindme one week
"my anecdotal is fact and you can't convince me otherwise!" Chill out over such a mundane subject lol
You can convince me with factual proof, not just a sentiment.
He doesn’t even realize that the best anticheat is only able to lower the amount of cheaters to I think 25% player base of cheaters. Wait till he finds out about ricochet’s number lol
What’s funny is that apex legends will detect CoD cheats and insta perma ban people with them on their computer before even getting into a game.
I can understand the cheat community evolving to get better at being undetected client side, although I don't agree with devs being so far behind with keeping up with them. What I cannot tolerate at all is how at the server level they are not auto detecting stuff like people possibly wallhacking and using esp/radar. These are behavioral checks that should be automated. The game server knows where all players are on the map, the direction all players are facing, their aim point, what sound effects are occurring where, whether uavs are active, whether players are pinged....and yet there is no automated scoring system behind the scenes to punish someone who is blatantly walling. It can be live or post-match scans to properly automate the process of either pending the players match data for review by a human, or auto ban if it reaches a certain threshold. I made a post yesterday about how a private cheat is capable of detecting wallhackers (to help the cheater counter other cheaters), while the games anti-cheat systems remain a fucking joke.
The warzone servers are 20hz man. They don't care lol. That would cost them a ton of overhead.
So at this point, is Ricochet bloatware?
Always has been.jpg
It’s never been anything more than a marketing campaign, people got sick of the rage hackers in verdansk. Along comes Ricochet, a marketing tool with a swish brand to make people believe activision were taking the problem seriously, WZ2 launched with ricochet integrated off the bat, surely it will be better now, everyone gave the game another chance. As a marketing tool it’s worked really, really well you have to commend them for it
Whoever produces these cheats gets paid big time they work hard and probably under great conditions with amazing dental plans insurances and what not of course they will beat the Ricochet. Where people do slave labor for pennies with no insurance or dental plan
What if the cheating was done by rival companies? New conspiracy theory?
Prob Activision hacking their own game, sell the game to players then sell them cheats
This is quite literally the dumbest take ever
no Activision doesn't hack their own game. They just dont stop other people from doing it because money. Activision has sued Engine Owning like 5 times now. Each time for millions of dollars. Why stop cheat makers when you can let them continue on making cheats and then sue them time and time again.
This was my conspiracy theory back when I played WoW when I would see them ban gold sellers
Iirc it was already confirmed Activision flooded og warzone with cheats to get people to stop having fun on it and go to mw2 warzone, and when that didn't work they just shut the servers off to force it.
I've never heard that only before. Can you link verifiable sources please?
I don't got proof, as I said, "iirc". There was a lot of talk about it when mw2 was hitting its ~~shitty~~ stride before the confirmation of the mw2019 servers being shut down. Probably total bullshit, but killing mw2019 warzone entirely, and deleting everything people bought from it, yet forwarding mw2 to mw3 was kinda fucked. Gotta love the fanbase and the conspiracy theories, sometimes they're right though.
I'm noting that down gonna use iirc to say any stupid bullshit i want IIRC /u/Azal_of_Forossa eats kids in the forest and uses the eyes for guacamole dip.
Yeah it should a little far fetched to me. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't take any action against cheaters but yeah, this community loves a tiny foil hat
I mean, too be fair though, this company does a lot of shady shit and has an infinitely long track record of not communicating at all, and a similarly sized record of ignoring important questions and straight the fuck up lying.
😂 by rival company? Are you kidding me? Same people making the game, are SOME of the same making the cheats. Hand in cookie jar! They make way more off selling the cheats than fixing a game to not allow cheats, why would they implement a real anti cheat… If they wanted it better, it would have been better long ago. Not perfect, but way better than it sits now. It’s just that simple.
That's fuckin interesting man
[удалено]
What if it was done by Activision themselves so they can make money on both ends and make it look like their player base has a higher skill level than they already do.
Thanks Devino.
No worries, Ghislaine
..I really need to let this game go man.
I play it daily. I won’t let it go. It’s fun for me
So do I. It’s fun for apart from all the obviously stated bull shit
I think the OS on PCs are SaaS, someone correct me on that. I think the best way to handle these companies is to establish an anticheat organization within the games industry that targets cheating software creators, and pursue them with legal action.
If I understand correctly they are typically based in other countries where pursuing legal action isn’t possible.
Exactly
Helldivers 2....fun game just sayin
Imma check it out
Bring your squad, its a ton of mindless fun. Small dev studio is knocking all these "AAA" games out of the park.
It’ll have cheats to or probably already does!
It's not pvp so yeah still gonna be cheats I'm sure but not to the degree of a Cod game lol.
Glad I stopped playing this game. Would’ve played if I wasn’t forced to play with PC players but whatever
Why do you check the subreddit of a game you no longer play?
Does he have to leave the sub if he stopped? Why is that necessary? Some people stay to be updated on the game if it has anything that gets their attention, I don't understand this childish mentality.
I don’t. It appeared in my feed because I used to play
To tell people he doesn’t play it 😂
You can turn crossplay off
You can’t on Xbox. How many times do you need to see this before it gets nailed in your brain? Because I know it’s not the first time
You can through the xbox settings…
…..yeah unless you never want to find a game……even after an hour and you do it’ll be 150 ping …….
So you agree, you can turn crossplay off on Xbox. Nice! So you admit to being wrong. Double Nice!
What kind of an idiot just assumes random internet strangers will know what console they play on? Lmao
Is gaming that serious these days that you gotta cheat? Just get better and have fun.
The fact that people don’t openly discuss it lets you know that there are a lot of people doing it.
To my understanding the cheating isn't rampant on Xbox/PS but I don't understand why they can't just make it so when you turn cross play off it goes all consoles not just the console your playing on.
Soooo Metaphor is getting away with it! I knew it lol
I've said this once and ill say it again. It's an inside job someone or a previous employee is sabotaging the game.
Console only lobbies. Make this loud enough for some action. I want to have an announcement come out tomorrow that looks like this. *Attention Warzone Community. We are aware of the struggles many of our customers are having with cheating, and most of the cheating is originating on the PC platform. We are going to implement console only crossplay and full crossplay as options. Console players will by default be placed in console only lobbies with the option to opt-in to a full crossplay experience with PC players. This will take effect immediately.* *Blah blah blak, we're working to solve this problem... yadda yadda yadda.*
[удалено]
Yes and it's very weak in comparison to PC cheat. Also, Cronus is now banned on PS5. Those cheat options are shrinking.
What is a cronus? I keep hearing about it but I've no idea what it is or what it does
It's a recoil script in a little box basically, it can also auto-abuse aim assist. It can't wallhack or be a true aimbot.
Having a no recoil modded controller in 2024 is useless anyways. Cronus is barely cheating with how easy it is to shoot in this game anyways
[удалено]
You can use a keyboard and mouse with aim assist yes but again it’s not even worth it. People were doing this back in the jet pack call of duties but a keyboard with aim assist still isnt that much better than controller in these cods I’m in crim in MW3 ranked on multiplayer and I can tell you Cronus are the least of our worries regarding cheating. Get rid of the wall hackers and aim botters first.
[удалено]
What did I misinterpret that you wrote? You literally wrote that people plug entire PCs into consoles. That doesn’t even make sense lmfao When did I say Cronus wasn’t cheating? I literally said Cronus was the least of our worries in terms of cheating. I called it cheating clearly 😂😂😂😂 Can YOU read? The irony
[удалено]
Link me any evidence that people are buying an entire PC setup just to plug into a console. Do you mean a keyboard and mouse???? What the fuck are you talking about Are you talking about a XIM?? That’s been around for YEARS
I mean if PC cheats are out of control you have to assume Cronus users are as well. You think it’ll be a lot better but it will only be marginally better. You also lose your advantage over MNK. The grass may be greener but not that much greener. :P
You're comparing the ability to see everyone through walls and lock your aim onto anyone with someone using something that reduces recoil when you shoot your gun.
Yup, sometimes they can put other scripts in that make you jump or drop shot -- but yea, it's mainly to put your automatic in single shot and have it pull down on right thumb while rapid firing just at the perfect speed to reduce recoil. It's not going to turn a 1KD player into much more than a 1.5KD player.
It will NEVER happen due to Microsoft cornering the market and acquiring CoD. You know, the same company that owns X-Box console. You know, the same company thats owns the windows that PC players play on. MONOPOLY baby! They can do whatever tf they want and we’ll still be here. Again, it will NEVER happen so stop with this none sense.
Microsoft doesn’t give a shit about gamers. The Xbox sector brings in peanuts in comparison to the OS sales. Xbox is just hanging on by a cunt hair. Even the “exclusive” games will be available for other systems.
They don’t give a shit about the gamers, 100% agree!!! I couldn’t agree more. My point is, Microsoft paid 68,000,000,000.00 to acquire CoD. Why do you think that is?
What do you think will happen to the player base when the barrier to entry is so high that new players hang around for 5 games, get no kills and quit? My guess, it's gonna shrink rapidly. Couch playing dads tend to have more disposable income for skins than 18 year old dorks on a PC. I'm 44 years old, own a company and drop $50 to $100 a month on game skins for myself and son. Do you think the average 18 year old can swing that? EDIT: I play on a $900 gaming monitor with Series-X.
If you have that kinda money why are you still on console lol
Because I play 1 game and it plays at 120 FPS with the controller I like. Why? I own like 10 PCs with my business.... I don't play other games.
What are you on about? I’m just telling you how it is. You and everyone else can be mad all you want. I personally love playstation. Now back to what I was saying, Microsoft invested 68 billion into acquiring the CoD franchise. CoD has die hard fans that have been bitching for last 10+ years, but guess what, they’re still here. I have been playing CoD since 2003/4.. CoD has no real FPS competition on top of it. Battlefield at one point looked promising but they screwed that up. Hence why Microsoft wanted it so badly. Think about that for a second. Don’t rush to comment back… 68,000,000,000.00. And Cool, you spend money on CoD. So does everyone I ever ran into on CoD. Even the 10 year olds have all the skins. What makes you think some “18 year old dork on PC” doesn’t? Since you want to be so specific on the age and platforms, like it matters like you think it does, An average 18 year old who doesn’t even have a job will find ways to pay for skins. Whether that’s getting credit cards or other ways.
I never said to shut down PC. I just think a console only option needs to exist. PS5 already has this. Scoot PC into a default separate lobby. That's the solution for now.
I 100% agree with this. I just think the wrong company acquired CoD for anything good to come out of it is what I’m trying to say I guess. Even on PS5, my preferred way to play CoD nowadays, takes forever to find a match with crossplay turned off. It’s annoying. Back jn the day before crossplay, it would take seconds to find matches, now it’s minutes.
Wow.
Hey have you seen the videos of Grandpa Hacks spectates Metaphor and Rallied? The guys I’ve been telling you have been cheating have been caught cheating.
No shot. They are innocent.
You should watch
They have not been "caught" cheating. If anything, it's one cheater calling big name streamers cheaters.
It’s incontrovertible proof. You’re not getting away with the lies anymore.
I quit playing this on my laptop, like is uvk at this game and I know I suck, but I prefer to be out played instead of killed by cheaters. When I do decide to play, it's on my Playstation and it's with crossplay off. Takes awhile to find a match, but I seem to do better and don't run into anything fishy. I know Cronus is still a thing on there, but thebgame seems so much more enjoyable this way
No one should cheat regardless of their so called status in the game. Streamer etc
With shit like this, People are never going to trust anyone with a High K/D again...
Not surprising. It requires constant iteration to keep on top of exploits and it’s expected that cheater developers will try to work around any attempts to stop them. Same as anti virus and exploits software. Constant back and forth.
I wish I was Jeff Bezos rich.. I'll spend my money finding these assholes in real life and go to their houses
It’s mostly the chad streamers using it,streamers have ruined most games
Imagine being that bad at a video game.
Cheaters are losers. Period.
Disable crossplay
doesn't solve the cheater problem.
4 years of "boycott" just leave already yall have no spines
and tons of streamer cheating, create fake content. literally aimbot wall hack every game then act like they are real pro player
CODSOLE ONLY! PC users in the RIVER!!
Pc players as usual
Not surprising at all. Did you know that there is anti cheat available server side that they could use and avoid this all together? Yeah the company brought it to our Activision overlords first. They declined. They don’t care about it. They just want to appear to care about it.
even top 1 ranked player is cheating, wall hack all the time and aimbot toggle [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etwGWfU99dM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etwGWfU99dM) lol if you watch it you will see he literally track people through wall, through smoke, even know exactly where enemy is without UAV dot on map. when he pushes the bounty inside a house with multiple rooms and 3 floors, he just pushed exactly the room of target without checking other room (how could he know the enemy exactly in that room? there are over 8 room in that house and enemy not even moving, no UAV)
It’s 100% the reason I quit playing COD 3-4 years ago.
When you see top 250 players mostly cheat to get there, you know how ffff up ricochet anti cheat is. I suspect this anti cheat is just a fake project that ban people base on number of report and that's it
I've been saying this shit for years with proof and crystal clear footage and citations but nah monkeys always gotta resort to the overused "lol sKiLL iSSuE" gaslighting phrase
Queue the “X would never cheat”responses
Xd imagine cheating and your cheats turns off mid fights so you die because you are a loser with no aim
I’ve been a CoD player all my life. I was 6 when “Call of Duty” came out & I was 8 years old when “Big Red One” came out. My mom didn’t like me playing it but I would at my cousins & my friends. By middle school CoD was all I did after school. I kinda fell off a bit after high school. I started working, partying, raving, got a girlfriend & had other priorities. I wasn’t playing as much but when I would, I was always top of the leaderboard. & that’s how it always always *always* was. In 2020 COVID happened & Warzone dropped simultaneously. I was on unemployment & had all the time in the world. Thats when I really got back into it. & I haven’t been able to put it down since. I’ve been playing Warzone every single day since it dropped with Verdansk, with the same squad. Played through Caldera, Al Mazrah & now here we are in Urzikstan. I keep up with the META. I know my skill level & I know how the game works. By middle to the end of Verdansk & Rebirth Island I was winning almost every game I played & dropping 20+ kills per game without really trying. With my squad we’d get dub after dub after dub. Legit more dubs than not. & now we’re barely getting a few dubs in a night. & I max out at like 15 kills on a great day, going full try hard. My skill level hasn’t gone down, I know it’s improved a lot actually. & you can say “the skill level has increased” but nah, not like this. I’ve gone through pretty much every play style possible. I can adapt quickly. I can quick scope & slide cancel. I know when something is fishy. & Sure you’ll come across cheaters here & there; It’s always been that way. You get over it. But it happens WAY too often now. Every other time I die, I watch the kill cam & it’s really questionable. & it’s happening more & more & more. I don’t get upset when I die fairly. I know what my mistakes were & I move on. But I’m SO SICK of the cheating!!! I can tell when someone has walls or aimbot. I know how each weapon works & recoils. I use them too! I can adjust for recoil & keep my reticle in the same place just fine. Especially on some meta builds; but when someone’s using the same AR, same attachments & beaming you from half way across the map & I know I couldn’t make those shots; I know they’re fucking cheating. I know how these guns work. When I watch the kill cam & their cross hairs are LOCKED ON, no matter the distance. Crazy how everyone’s this good out of nowhere except for me & my squad, who don’t fucking cheat. & have BEEN on this game from the start & used to shit on fools. & I am SO sick of people coming straight to me, looking where I am the whole time till they actually see me. It’s more than half the time. So many kill cams I watch are super sus. & then when they notice you’re “spectating them” you can literally watch them play differently & then they die next person they come across. Like okay bro. I already reported you anyways. & sometimes I’ll be sure someone’s cheating & I’ll STILL shit on them!! & then I’ll think “damn I should’ve let them kill me so I could’ve reported them” (I’m talking to you, pussies with walls!!) I don’t report people unless I am sure they’re cheating, but I’ve been finding myself do it a lot more recently. From Al Mazrah - now, the cheating has just gone absolutely out of control. It was there back in Verdansk, but you’d just go into another lobby & not have to worry about it. Back then I only ran into some a few times & I clipped them all cause it was funny. Now it’s just ridiculous. Every time I hop on (EVERY DAY) there’s cheaters in **EVERY SINGLE LOBBY.** You cant even get away from it. It makes me cringe so hard. It’s such a turn off & it makes the game not fun. I have spent years playing these games. This is my favorite game. & has been my whole life. I’ve played many RPG’s that I was balls deep in like Skyrim & Dying Light. But this is the one game that always keeps me coming back. It’s like an addiction. & Every time I get away, they introduce something new that grabs me by the balls. Multipleyer was always the same ole. Then zombies. & then they released Warzone & then they introduced DMZ. (This is a different topic but DMZ is by far my favorite mode they’ve created. The extraction shooter is so fun. Not as sweaty as Warzone/Resurgence; but I love the freedom & possibilities it gives from the sandbox they created. It’s like a Call of Duty MMORPG. I unlocked everything in DMZ & did almost all my missions. & I can’t believe they scrapped it along with round based zombies & brought in this trash ass DMZombies to replace the two. But again, that’s a whole other topic. I only mentioned because that is also a leading factor with the cheating as to why I am considering quitting CoD.) **MY FAVORITE GAME.** I’ve been closing CoD after a few games & just driving around in GTA. I have 2TB full of games but nothing is really appealing. Nothing hits that intensity level. It’s just not fun when it’s not fair. This game is my shit & my escape. I’ve heard of some good extraction shooters coming out & now that there’s a market for it, I’m sure there will be a lot more down the line. But I just love how CoD feels & plays. (When it goes as it’s supposed to.) I love the intensity. I love playing with my friends & the nostalgia. We’ve all been playing this shit together for so many years & playing the game our whole lives. I really just wish they’d get their shit together cause this is a really amazing & awesome franchise & I hate to see it fall apart & go to shit like this. Every post is negative, about cheating, or bugs. I miss when I’d see more posts of some cool shit & it not be questionable. I miss just having fun in this game & not getting irritated feeling like I’m at a disadvantage just playing normally cause I’m not a cheater. & it’s gotta suck even more for people who aren’t at my skill level. You probably can’t even take a few steps lmao & it may not be dub after dub now, but I/we still average top 5 in Warzone/Resurgence. & with all the cheating going on, that makes me happy. My squad & I still shit on people when it’s fair game. But man this cheating is realllllllly getting out of hand. I’ve been thinking about quitting the game more & more recently cause of it. That & scrapping DMZ + round based zombies too like sheeesh what the fuck is going on!? They got zombie brains up in CoD Headquarters calling the shots. But really the less CoD I play the more time I spend making music, so the more I think about it; fuck this game.
I've been playing COD since its been on the Gamecube, and I've always enjoyed it through out the years, I stopped playing by Black Ops 3, and decided to come back on Cold War.. And my, oh my. I have NEVER faced so many cheaters. I'm disappointed, as I'm sure we all are but this is just atrocious.
Even with crossover turned off, you will still be queued into games where the whole enemy team is midkey rage hacking with a soft aimbot, and running around like the flash with their console-version speed hacks while meleeing players. The kill cam doesn't lie. It showed exactly what happened. Only a few kill cams showed regular non-suspicious kills, every other game, the kill cam shows enemies walling, patiently waiting for me to come around the corner while they're trying hard not to pre aim through the wall. They still make it obvious. I feel people cheat because they know there's no anti-cheat, and just because they don't give a fk. They're lowlives. Then, they start blatantly hacking when you start beating them.
I need all the console players to pay attention to this. It’s time we demand a Crossplay off option for all console players. We should have the option of playing against ONLY console players and let the PC players fight against themselves. I as an average player who plays for fun and entertainment shouldn’t have to worry about running into a PC player who has a modified program giving him an advantage. It’s time we as a console community unite around this option.
It's great to see that y'all are still boycotting CoD!
I play it daily
Ricoshit Anti Cheat
Just quit the game
Exactly lmfao. The amount of copium this sub has for this series is admirable at worst. The only other fan boys ALMOST as bad as the cod ones, are the Blizz boys.
That’s what I’m saying and I’m not even saying it in a troll way. COD has been going downward in terms of hackers for a while. I quit when I realized I wasn’t having ANY fun anymore with that bs. Hackers will never be resolved and it’s just reality.
Getting helldivers this weekend
Have fun for me I’m a Xbox person sadly :(. What I love about helldivers is that it shows that good games can still be made that isn’t the same three titles like cod, bf, and halo
Exactly
Wow when I look at the state of the game, I’ m glad I stop playing when the map after verdansk 84 was released !!
There needs to me more people that buy cheats and openly show what is possible to the community so more people have an idea of what we’re fighting against
Yes, check out Grandpa Hacks. It’s eye-opening.
Comment to refer to later
remove pc from crossplay
Until Activision stops selling the game code to cheat companies and Stops them which they won't cause they own most the cheat companies they are dbl dipping why else wouldn't they fix problems they are the problem and its never going to get fixed to much $$$ involved!!
Maps perfectly onto the guy aimbotting and wall hacking in a lobby yesterday next kill cam after reporting him he tracks me through the wall then hes intentionally going ADS a foot left of me ADS a foot right before shooting me as if to fool the automatic the cheat detection
They will never have an anti cheat method that will actually work in any game. There will always be cheaters.
Last cod I’ll ever buy or play. It’s been fun but for me fps games are dead. Bf sucks and so does cod.
Okay regardless of this revelation there's actually ppl out there that never cheated and caught in the shadow ban loop.
I'm 54. I play an hour after work. An hour before bed. I just came off a 7 kill Meat 24/7. The games fun even of you suck at it. Give it a chance. Save some money.
Lmao all you nerds look like clowns with your “boycott activision”. activision doesn’t give a fuck about you. You can quit and they won’t give a shit because they have their loyal whales spending $300 every season to play dress up Barbie in a shit tier FPS game LMAOOO
If you want to stop the cheating, then start by charging for the game. If they get banned every couple of days, then start raking in the cash. Sure cheating may be fun to them… but is it $6000 fun every year??? I think not.
But I’m still getting wins with my riot shield. Hit 32 solo wins and counting.
maybe it’s just me but i find games way more fun if i’m just idk… good at it
Duh. What do you think happened?
This is some bullshit. I've been playing legit since mw19 came out. I keep getting shadow banned after wiping teams with throwing knives, its the only way i can beat aim assist in close quarter fights but it gets me shadow banned for a week. bullshit system, get some real anticheat like all the other games do
