Cheating Issues in Warzone

As a dedicated gamer immersed in the Call of Duty universe, I can’t help but address an issue that’s been nagging us all – cheating, particularly in Warzone. Though it’d be delightful to discuss the game’s positives, the escalating cheating incidents in Warzone have overshadowed the fun lately. I can’t sugarcoat it; these issues are an absolute disaster, and they seem to stem from recent updates across the entire franchise.

Shutting Down Cheat Providers

WhosImmortal shares some encouraging updates about cheating in Call of Duty. He explains that Activision has recently closed down two cheat service providers, Raging Nation and Stealth Ware, following legal warnings. Although he admits these specific providers might not be significant, he views this action as a positive sign that Activision is actively pursuing cheat services. Additionally, he recalls that Call of Duty previously sued Engine Owning, a major cheat provider for Warzone and Call of Duty, demonstrating their commitment to combatting cheats in the game.

Cheating through Xbox Game Pass

WhosImmortal talks about the repercussions of Modern Warfare 3 becoming available on Xbox Game Pass. He clarifies that individuals who hack the game, being subscribers, can now play it for free through their subscription. However, this has led to some perplexity as hackers on PC are mistakenly recognized as Xbox players within the game. This complicates the process of correctly identifying and reporting cheaters. WhosImmortal proposes that the game should clearly label the platform each player is utilizing to prevent such confusion.

The Need for Updates to Ricochet

Activision should focus on proactively upgrading their anti-cheat system, Ricochet, in Warzone, according to WhosImmortal. Although he acknowledges that taking legal action against cheat providers is commendable, he argues that it’s equally important to prevent cheaters from entering the game in the first place. He points out that since its introduction, Ricochet has been reactive instead of proactive, and it doesn’t adequately stop or deter cheaters. He advocates for more advanced measures and updates to Ricochet to address the ongoing issue of cheating in Warzone.

Activision’s Response

WhosImmortal talks about Activision’s reaction to the cheating problems in Warzone. He explains that Activision has fixed a problem with the detection system in Ricochet, leading to an increase in cheater reports. However, he emphasizes that the real issue lies in the fact that the detection system itself had flaws, making Ricochet less effective at its intended purpose. While Activision asserts that Ricochet can identify the specific platform a player is using, WhosImmortal contends that this doesn’t solve the problem of cheaters appearing as Xbox players on PC. He ends by suggesting that further updates are necessary for Ricochet to effectively tackle cheating in Warzone.
