Cheaters can currently use a glitch in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to have their name tags displayed in blue, even though they are actually enemies. Infinity Ward is reportedly working on the issue.
What is this glitch? With the Update 1.14 for Season 2, a small but consequential bug has sneaked into the game. Through a glitch, players can now adjust their names so that their name tag is always displayed in blue.
Check out here what unfair effects this has and how the developers are responding.
By the way, these contents await you in Modern Warfare in Season 2.
Cheat turns enemies into friends – Developers respond quickly
How does this affect gameplay? By changing the color of the name tag in multiplayer, enemies are no longer recognized as direct enemies.
In a fast-paced game like Modern Warfare, it’s important to quickly and accurately identify opponents. Usually, this is done by the opponent’s gamertag, which is displayed when you aim at the enemy. The red display above the opponent lets you know right away: That’s an enemy, and they are about to get shot.
However, if the enemy’s nickname is no longer displayed in the usual red, but even in blue, it becomes difficult to recognize quickly, and cheaters with constantly blue name tags have a significant advantage. This is because blue normally only indicates your own teammates.
Where does the error come from? With Season 2, the new regiments feature was introduced in the game. This is a kind of clan system, allowing you to invite friends and battle together as a regiment.
According to user statements and a developer, the problem arises from the clan tags of these regiments. You can change the color of these tags and apparently, with the right trick, also that of the name.
What do the developers have to say about this? The thread on reddit is growing rapidly, and the developers responded just a few hours after the issue appeared.
Hello everyone – This is a bug. Colored names are not part of what players should be able to do. […] This should be resolved soon – Report players with colored names and we will take a look at it.
Paul Haile on reddit (translated)
Paul Haile is the production director at Modern Warfare and explained that Infinity Ward is working on the issue. The glitch has now also been added to the MW-Trello-Board.
Will there be a quick fix? Let’s hope so. A maintenance ticket will be opened, and the developers will work on it. How long it will take is yet to be seen. There are currently no details available.
