The closed beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is all the rage and while many fans are enjoying themselves on the servers, a problem is spoiling the mood of the community: cheaters. One player reports from his first match and how a cheater greeted him in the beta.
What does a player report? The user dwozie shared a clip on Reddit that shows his first match in Black Ops 7. Just as he spawned and wanted to move out of a building, he is greeted by another player and killed. At first, this seems nothing unusual, but the kill clip shows a different picture.
His opponent apparently had wallhack and aimbot. He could apparently see through the wall where his enemies were moving. When he encountered dwozie, he took him and his teammate out unnaturally fast: his aim snapped immediately to the heads as the cheater started aiming.
Many other fans gathered to share their experiences from the beta, and these also do not seem optimistic.
Many fans report cheaters in the beta
What do fans say about the cheater problem? Many fans have already played their first matches in the closed beta of Black Ops 7 and some of them have already had the pleasure of being matched with a cheater.
Nottheluckiestone reports his experience with cheaters and states: “Since I started playing this morning, I have found 10 so far, obviously wallhack stuff or cronus lock-on nonsense.”
dukem12 claims to have also encountered cheaters and reports: “I played about 12 matches and in 3/12 there was a cheater. The urge to get a refund is huge right now.”
Beyond Reddit, there are also some clips on X.com showing cheaters obviously flaunting their tricks and wanting to showcase Activision along with their improved anti-cheat system.
Activision is relying on secure boot with Black Ops 7. Secure boot is a security feature of Windows 10 & 11 that ensures only secure software runs at startup. This is supposed to ensure that cheaters cannot activate their cheats so easily.
Already Black Ops 6 and Warzone are constantly fighting against cheaters, and the topic is a recurring one in the communities of Call of Duty. That cheaters now also have their sights set on the beta of Black Ops 7 further damages the reputation of the upcoming shooter title.
Is Battlefield 6 an alternative? An alternative to this year’s Call of Duty for sure, but when it comes to cheaters, you shouldn’t raise your hopes too high. There were apparently also cheaters in the beta of Battlefield 6 who were strolling through the maps with wallhacks and sending every opponent with too good aim straight to the afterlife.
However, if we trust the feedback from Activision, the developers’ anti-cheat is working overtime. Some players have reportedly seen the notification that reported players have been banned.
It remains to be seen how the large-scale release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will go down regarding cheaters, but the fact is: Cheaters are the problem in all shooters and no matter how good the anti-cheat is, the scammers always find a way to ruin the fun for honest players.
