Players of Call of Duty are very upset and want Infinity Ward to address the growing issue in Warzone, which is the increasing number of cheating players since the game was launched.
From speed hacks to aimbots, Warzone is becoming a victim in a long line of games attacked by cheaters. Previously, notable games like Fortnite, PUBG, Apex Legends, Battlefield Firestorm, and Blackout have faced similar issues. To prevent Warzone from becoming the next “sacrificial lamb”, players want IW to focus on stopping the hackers who are rampant in certain regions.
In this context, Reddit user ‘notanaijin’ said that cheaters are operating openly on the servers where he lives: “They are playing on Asian servers because I live in Japan and the cheaters are showing up thick here (especially the cheating players from China). I’m sure they can see through walls and shoot without making a sound. Other players have pointed out that Asian servers are a hotbed of cheating, and it’s almost impossible to play a decent match, ‘fair and square’, on these servers.”
The issue may not be as prevalent in other areas, although people report that some forms of cheating frequently appear in their matches.
Many hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in IW’s anti-cheat software, which is quite evident. A video posted by user ‘ItzNickM80’ shows this player being eliminated by someone named ‘NiceAntiCheat’ in a frustrating manner with no reasonable explanation.
Perhaps this is an unacceptable reality for the majority of gamers, as nothing discourages players from any game more than having to engage in battle with a clear disadvantage against cheaters, and Warzone is no exception. Given the increasing number of hackers, genuine players have not quit the game but have voiced their frustrations, putting pressure on Infinity Ward to resolve these issues before they start affecting the game’s success.
