Call of Duty

That the Call of Duty series has had a serious problem with hackers and cheaters for years should come as no surprise. Older titles in the series are simply unplayable online, at least not if you are bothered by hackers. Even the current offshoots of the franchise cannot get the problem under control.

In particular, Call of Duty: Warzone seems to be a hit for cheaters – wallhacks, aimbots and, more recently, invisibility. All unfair advantages that hackers take advantage of and worsen the gaming experience of normal players. Activision does not seem to have a technical solution to these problems. Either because you are not able to program the code safely – or because you are not working on it at all.

So far, the developer’s approach seems to only consist of banning masses of accounts and hoping that the hackers will run out of breath. In the last 12 months alone, over 300,000 accounts have been banned, more than 10% of them within the last 2 weeks.

This is a legitimate tactic in and of itself, as hacker accounts should definitely be banned. If it happens in this frequency, however, it can also hit players who do not use wallhacks or aimbots. The streamer kd1pp now even has the unbelievable bad luck that it is banned twice in a row. Although he is probably not a hacker, but wants to play the game as normal.

It started with a normal round in Call of Duty: Warzone. The streamer played a pretty good round with the MP5. However, he was so accurate that he was reported for an aimbot. Indeed, he was banned from Warzone.

Extremely pissed off by this unjustified suspension, he is angry and switched to CoD: Cold War. And only to be banned there almost instantly. Looking at his gameplay, one might well conclude that he must have cheated in a prohibited way. However, he himself asserts that he did not use a hack. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time a player has been banned for no reason.
