The number of unfair players in Call of Duty: Warzone seems to be increasingly troubling the fair players. Now, well-known experts and professionals have commented on this issue. They are struggling to find enjoyment in the game.
Who is it about? Drift0r is one of the most famous content creators for Call of Duty. With over 1.48 million subscribers on YouTube, he regularly reaches hundreds of thousands of players with his videos.
He showcases both gameplay and opinions, as well as frequently guides and insights about Modern Warfare and Warzone. At MeinMMO, we have included his strong build in our guide to the CR-56 AMAX with all its strengths and weaknesses.
However, it seems he has had enough of the shooter and isn’t sure if he wants to continue. The reason is the recurring cheaters and hackers who spoil his enjoyment of the game.
Drift0r doesn’t want to continue
This is what he says about it: In a tweet from July 16, Drift0r explains that he had a breakdown during one of his recent Twitch streams (via Twitter). He can no longer play the game and may have to stop.
The problem is hackers and cheaters. He repeatedly encounters players who play impossibly well or make no noise at all. As an expert, he presumably has the ideal sound settings for Warzone, but he can never locate them in time.
It often happens that he gets eliminated before a real fight even starts. The “skill-based matchmaking” cannot be to blame for that; his stats are not good enough for that. In the respective stream, he says: “I am really angry. Not just a little, not just somewhat irritated.”
Professionals feel similarly: Professional player Vikkstar agrees with Drift0r in a reply to his tweet. Hackers are a major problem, and the worst part is that one cannot distinguish between who is cheating and who is simply good.
Professionals like Vikkstar can learn from a situation where they are simply mechanically outmatched and improve. However, if someone eliminates them with an aimbot or other cheats, no insights can be gained from that.
Vikkstar recently presented his tier list of the best weapons. But even these apparently do not help him when opponents have unfair advantages.
Cheats in CoD – A problem on PC, PS4, and Xbox One
For a long time, cheats were considered a problem that only affected PC as a platform. Here, it is indeed easier to access cheating software and cheat. If the anti-cheat software catches you, it only costs $2 to get back in. This leads to some players on console even disabling crossplay:
In the meantime, however, there are also some programs that players use on PS4 and Xbox One for unfair advantages. These are additional hardware components connected to the controllers and subsequently modified.
The developers are continuously working to curb the cheating plague. There are still major banning waves, and lots of cheaters are being thrown out of the game. However, it has recently happened that innocent players have also been banned. The fight against cheaters seems not easy to win.
