Call of Duty: Warzone sees an increase in cheaters in Season Four
- Thread starter Daily-Esports
- Start date
It's not just in Warzone. Multiplayer is rife with it at the moment. How do people kill you when you're to the side or even behind them? I have no connection issues so it isn't lag. Why can't Activision bring an update to the crossplay settings to deselect PC players?
In one afternoon, I have been killed by a cheater (who was absolute rubbish at the game BTW) literally quick scoped me and my buddy from halfway across the map. then I retire to solo's (vomit) and my first death I see I am was being teamed. ( second time on solo's this has happened now)
It would not be hard to write a script to instant ban teaming in solo's, it would be a few lines of code. ( something like (if player Y is in X proximity to player Z for more than 10 min then apply first silent strike) 3 strikes and both players get banned. OR better yet (if player Y is in view of player Z for X amount of time - apply silent strike) This would mean if they are camping in view of each other for more than X amount of time then its regarded as teaming and a silent strike is recorded
As for the cheating well I think its a legal rout as it is a direct attack on proprietary assets and is (in a sense) stealing from all the millions of people who invest their time to use the game. Irrespective of the game being free to play, the source code is not open source and therefore should be an easy win to have these pirates manipulating the game to dragged through court.
The other method would be to remove it from free to play and in the upcoming map/s make it a paid game where being a cheater would be more costly. ( would pay $100 for this game as a paid service, but not until the teaming kids are delt with
I am going to play other games for now, I can't be bothered wasting my time playing this game until this is fixed.

I stopped playing warzone because of this. At first i thought what happened and i m so bad? Then i decide to spectate them and i realized that 30% of my games have a cheater. MP is even worst.
I have played multiple games tonight and all of them have been full of cheaters. It gets frustrating and you cannot do anything because right when you spawn you die. I will not buy the next season pass until this gets fixed! I actually want my money back for season 4 since I can’t even play the game.
This Game is full of cheaters now, dont waste time to play it unless you can cheat too.. full wall hacks and aimbots.
It's getting worse and worse...
I am a pc player and I don't cheat, but man... There are a lot of cheaters out there.. Tonight was hopeless! I was being spotted through walls, being headshotted from 150+ meters away by an MP7 with no attachments??? WTF!!??
Also in the gulag I can just see the crosshair from the opponent move a few mm even after the shot was fired and guess what... BOOM HEADSHOTTED!...
I am also seeing players with Assault rifles and LMG's emptying their entire clip with 0 recoil!!!! Even if I have a steady hand and have barrels etc equipped I still have some recoil!
I'm getting to the point I want to stop playing the game...

We play regularly, all on PS4, except for one of our friends who plays on PC. When he's not around, we disable crossplay, and the game is real fun. We play mostly Ground War.
Now, the moment we enable crossplay to play with our PC friend as soon as the game starts, the enemy is taking Charlie. How the hell? Or I'm behind a concrete wall, and get headshot by a sniper from the other end of the map.
Just today we decided that we won't be playing with our friend anymore, and he's trying to decide if he'll purchase the game for PS4 to be able to play Ground War with us.
This is the most ridiculous game in terms of hacking.
