A Twitch streamer boasted about his outstanding skill while playing Call of Duty: Warzone. However, he seemed to overlook the fact that a cheat program was visibly running in the background – and live on stream.
Currently, Season 5 is underway in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the Battle Royale Warzone. But it’s not only the latest mid-season update or the newest weapon that are the talk of the town – a well-known CoD streamer is also causing some debates.
Streamer shows off his own skills: The Warzone streamer MrGolds (over 70,000 followers on Twitch) recently played Warzone and was approached by some about his suspiciously good gameplay.
The streamer (with a KD of 6) reacted somewhat irritated, defended himself, and said that he simply had good recoil control and was just good at the game. However, it seems he overlooked an important detail.
What’s the deal with cheating? He had opened the task manager program on his desktop, and in the background, another running program became visible – EngineOwning. This is a hidden cheat program for almost all popular shooters like Battlefield or Call of Duty.
One of his viewers recorded the whole thing and made it public on Twitter, calling for MrGolds to be reported. But see for yourself:
These are the reactions: MrGolds is still on Twitch, and there have been no consequences for him so far. He apparently hasn’t received a ban in the game either, which many find absolutely incomprehensible.
For instance, TGDefinition, who is also a streamer, says he cannot understand how there are people like MrGolds who use the most obvious cheats and still do not get banned or at least a shadow ban. Also, that MrGolds hasn’t been suspended from Twitch yet.
MrGolds himself, despite rather clear footage, does not feel guilty and denies everything. Furthermore, he has since played with a background camera to prove that he is not cheating.
Update: MrGolds has apparently been banned from Twitch. His channel is no longer accessible there. However, he was still active this morning.
What do you think? Should the streamer be banned as soon as possible? Or is a cheat engine in the background not an automatic proof that someone is actually cheating? How do you see the current situation regarding cheaters in Warzone? Do they often ruin the fun for you?
By the way, the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has finally been officially revealed. It will be exciting to see how the new CoD 2020 will tackle the cheating problem.
