A Twitch streamer started a fine round of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and forgot to hide his hacks. The brazen player received a ban on Twitch.
What was going on? The streamer “TwistedBear” referred to himself as a “top Modern Warfare player” (via Game Rant). After he had streamed about a week ago, many may have realized where he got his confidence from.
Because the player is a brazen cheater. In his Twitch stream, he forgot to hide his hacks and exposed himself in the process. The clip went viral, and Twitch caught wind of what happened. Shortly after, the ban came.
Cheater brazenly streams with active wall hack
What did it look like? On Twitter, the clip was widely shared and shows a gameplay scene of “TwistedBear”:
It is clearly visible that he recognizes his opponents even through walls. You can also see at his crosshair (red cross) that he uses aim assist. Together with wall hack and aim bot, he enters the match with strong advantages over his enemies and teammates.
Something very similar happened some time ago with a shooter streamer. Back then, the streamer was caught through a reflection of his glasses.
What do players say about it? Under various tweets with the clip, commentators agree: This is unacceptable! “People who do such crap actually believe they are good. Ban this loser from CoD too,” it says, for example.
Cheaters are a big problem in CoD MW and also Warzone. Especially in the free-to-play battle royale Warzone, there are many players who have witnessed inhumane performances in their killcams. Even the introduction of a 2-factor authentication helped little, as cheaters can buy a new account for just $2.
There is also ongoing criticism of the developers in this context. Infinity Ward has been promising for months to do more against cheaters. But communication is often insufficient and lacking. In the last wave of bans, IW was criticized for banning innocent players and not informing why bans were issued.
In the end, the developers even backtracked and lifted many bans.
