TimTheTatman, a popularTwitch streamer, uploaded a video to his YouTube channel detailing his interactions with a cheater who had Damascus weapons unlocked. Since the cheater was watching the livestream, TimTheTatman was able to ask him questions about the cheating and the cheater would answer by shaking or nodding their head. The cheater told the streamer that he wasn’t afraid of getting banned, even though TimTheTatman said he would report the player. At the end of the match, they both got into voice chat together, and the cheater revealed that he had been doing this for over six months without repercussions.
Players have been seeing an increase in cheaters, and while some regions are seeing it at a higher rate than others, theCall of Dutycommunity agrees that it is a serious problem with the game. In online communities centered around the game, players have complained about running into cheaters up to four matches in a row, which severely impacts their ability to enjoy the game. Activision has recently implemented many bans forcheating inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, but many appear to be against players who were playing the game fairly.
If cheaters like the one TimTheTatman ran into have been able to run free for half of a year with no repercussions, thenActivisionneeds to step up and put a stop to the rampant cheating. Cheating will continue to become normalized in the game if no legitimate action is taken against it, which harms the gamers who want to excel inWarzonethrough their own merit.
