The Cheating Problem in Call of Duty

the cheating problem in Call of Duty has gotten insane in the last week or so ever since Modern Warfare 3 season 5 dropped there has been a massive influx of people cheating and not just multiplayer on Modern Warfare 3 but also war zone as well and I think it might have even happened to me while I was streaming what the [ __ ] what is happening bro what the [ __ ] was that and this is ranging anywhere from people lag switching servers and ultimately crashing them to people spamming wall hacks and aimbots you know the typical kind of stuff that people use to cheat but there's even more serious offenses like people hijacking other people's Call of Duty accounts and then getting them banned and they can't get them back so yeah this might be one of the worst cheating epidemics we've ever seen in Call of Duty and we need to talk about it at this point man I don't know if reading this tweet is going to be good or bad news but on July 25th Charlie Intel had tweeted saying two additional cheap providers for Call of Duty have been shut down today after legal notices from Activision including raging nation and stealth Weare now in the past Activision had I think some kind of massive lawsuit against one of the biggest cheap providers on Call of Duty oh that's right it was engine owning was the company they were pretty big around the time of Modern Warfare 2 last year and Activision won a legal case against them they sued them in 2022 and they were awarded $14.5 million in that lawsuit and this is the super lame notice from one of the cheap providers saying closing dear raging Nation Community someone affiliated with our business has received a legal notice from Activision we may not agree with the assertions made in these legal demands but we are in no position to litigate with such a large company it brings us no pleasure to inform all of you that we will be closing our business starting today a thank you all for supporting the cheaters today we love our cheating community and this was the last thing we wanted to have to do because we were making a lot of money selling cheats on Call of Duty you absolute scumbags press F to pay no respects to these cheating mother this was tweeted on July 25th 2024 so this was already after season 5 had dropped right it seems like good news it seems like more of the cheating companies and the cheap providers were being shut down but then this happened the day after so with Modern Warfare 3 now on PC game pass PC players are appearing as playing on Xbox because the Microsoft store version is shown with the Xbox logo in lobbies so some PC cheaters may appear to be on Xbox but they are actually on PC this was tweeted on July 26th the day after the news of the two cheap Riders being shut down so honestly it didn't really sound like anything too bad was Happening Here Charlie Intel was just raising awareness to the fact that if you got Modern Warfare 3 with the PC game pass you would actually be showing up as an Xbox player so he didn't want people getting too confused thinking that there's going to be like this massive Spike of people cheating on Xbox because if you want to cheat on Console whether it's Xbox or Playstation I'm pretty sure the ways of cheating are a lot more limited compared to what you can do on PC and this proves to be true today because he put out this tweet saying that there seems to be an influx in cheaters across War Zone after season 5 launch including in ranked and I don't know if he's referring to war zone ranked but it's also happening in ranked play as you'll see in some of these clips I'm going to show you guys many of the cheaters seem to be playing via PC game Passad which is the Microsoft store version as they appear with an Xbox logo in the lobby and they're using hacks there's no comment from Activision yet and boy oh boy it is an influx it's not just a tiny amount of people cheating here and there the cheaters are currently infesting Modern Warfare 3 and the game might not even be safe to play at the moment this dude said we are screwed ACD user just sent me this photo of his cheats injected while using Xbox game pass version of Call of Duty war zone along with many reports cheaters are rage hacking for days with no banss or Shadow Bands please do something now and he tagged Activision in Call of Duty and look at this picture dude we straight up have another mod menu from a different website it could be one of the previous cheap providers just using a different domain or something I mean we don't really know this is my first time seeing a mod menu like this but this is so frustrating to see because as you can see the account is only level 27 they are clearly playing keyboard and mouse they have the mouse logo right there but they also have the Xbox logo so they look like they're someone who plugged a keyboard or a mouse into their Xbox and is playing but the truth is that this is just a PC hacker right here and they have all kinds of ridiculous kinds of cheats that they can use when they're playing Modern Warfare 3 they have aimbots Auto fire reduce recoil they can change these different types of settings to make it seem like they're not cheating they have humanized aim semi-human aim they have the rage profile currently sets so I guess they're rage hacking if they don't like what's happening they're just going to start cheating on the lobby or something and then they have silent aim I don't even know what that is but there's also player ESP outlines which I'm assuming is the wall hacks and stuff this most likely allows them to turn the radar always on and then there's other kinds of exploits which could be the lag switching stuff which we'll get into in a bit because I think that's something that they might be able to do I'm not 100% sure but it has happened to to me I've been streaming Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer a lot more often and I've noticed especially in lobbies with more Xbox players that I'll start to get these crazy amounts of packet loss and different types of network errors while playing and I don't think it's a coincidence I don't think it's necessarily a server issue with the game I think there's potentially people in here potentially using some kind of lag switch exploit or something there there could be something in this menu that lets them do that I wouldn't personally know because I don't look that deep into this stuff this is just a picture I'm seeing for the first time on Twitter I don't fully know or understand exactly how how far they can push these mod menus like exactly what they can or can't do but I wouldn't be surprised if they're able to do some insane [ __ ] this dude said called him out for cheating and his response I just have better game sense he also doesn't have the seven-digit number on his Activision [Music] ID oh that's obvious Walling oh my God yeah this dude this dude's got to be cheating there's no way can't even see him through the smoke at all there's no visibility he's playing PC and his activis ID is Cooper Tron but there's no numbers so I don't know if you can report this dude that is so but if you thought that one was bad wait until you see this judge Ray Ray here says so Activision you guys allowed this person to hack my accounts cheat while playing Call of Duty and instead of helping me get my account straightened out I get banned from two games I've never played that Activision ID is not mine can you'all fix my account they censored out the account's email address and they showed their Activision ID right here hoping that they can somehow get it fixed it looks like they were banned on Modern Warfare 3 Call of Duty war zone and Modern Warfare 2 now I'm kind of forgetting where I saw the this before I think it might have been a video from exclusive Ace yeah I'm pretty sure it was this video from ace. it was called do this now to avoid a false ban in Call of Duty and I think that's maybe what happens to this person apparently the people who provide cheats on these newer Call of Duty games aren't necessarily generating or making new accounts for people to play and cheat with they're actually hijacking existing or inactive Call of Duty accounts for a multitude of reasons they don't have to make brand new accounts that can just steal someone else's and if it does eventually get in trouble or if it gets banned then it doesn't come back to the person that the accounts instead they're banning someone else's account potentially someone like this who could be completely innocent someone who might not have cheated at all and instead it's someone who actually is just inactive on their accounts and they unfortunately Could Have Had It hijacked which honestly is a much much worse situation and if you don't have two Factor authentication on your Activision account right now you might want to go ahead and do that because the cheating problem just continues to get worse getting boosted by cheater I swear to God I'm solo ke what happened to Cod imagine cheating in July yeah it's cringe imagine earning an extra th000 a month doing service that's also cringe oh yeah oh my God I mean it doesn't get any more blatant than that what cheaters are boosting full aimbots please help retweet and like to spread awareness oh my God all he has is ammo bro oh my wow look at that it's Twitter quality I do apologize it looks terrible right now but I'm pretty sure they're spectating a cheater right now yeah oh my God just instantly snaps to the next person without knowing where they are I I mean look at that come on like like you really know come on too bad they didn't switch to first person but I mean it's still pretty obvious even though this is like a really low quality clip you can tell there's people right below him and he's not even shooting them he's shooting people off of the distance this is what a four stack of Xbox kids look like in ranked now granted these are probably not actually Xbox players they're probably PC players with that little Xbox logo showing up but you'll see I mean this dude's Landing nothing but head shot look at the aim it's just instantly snapping on just killing them right in the head getting shot through walls before they can even do anything I mean it's crazy diabolical out here look at that I mean this D is spinbotting bro wow you usually see this type of stuff on Counterstrike Not Call of Duty like oh my God that is just insane man I ain't even trying to play this game no more bro F now as far as it goes from my experience playing Modern Warfare 3 since season 5 and since the influx of people cheating I can't say for certain that I've run into some of the more serious types of cheaters you know the ones that might hijack accounts or be using wall hacks and aimbots but I've definitely experienced the lag switching and the crashing of servers and honestly man just seeing more of these mod menus these really frustrating and stupid cheats in the game honestly it's just Soul crushing stuff it makes it impossible to Once to get on and play this game and enjoy it when you know that there's cheaters running rampants and just ring the entire experience but there is potentially one silver lining here and it could at least explain the influx of cheaters but I still just think even if this is the case I still just think it's a extremely stupid thing to let happen but this tweet from Charlie Intel talking about the two cheap providers for Call of Duty getting shut down this happened a day after Modern Warfare 3 season 5 went live which was the exact same day that the game became available for people on Game Pass and I'm trying to specify here not just Xbox game pass but also PC game pass which are most likely the people that are cheating this ain't 2012 this isn't a Black Ops 2 Lobby where you can easily get mod menus and infections and spread it around these mod menus are only available on PC as far as I'm aware so the day after season 5 goes live two big cheat providers are shut down and then the day after that it's confirmed that PC players are showing up as Xbox players in Modern Warfare 3 and War Zone lobbies and next thing you know we have an influx of people cheating all over the game it doesn't matter what it is war zone ranked probably even just regular multiplayer although typically people tends to be cheating in war zone and ranked play game modes that typically have higher stakes and more things to be potentially gained but I would not be surprised if people are cheating in regular multiplayer matches as well but I do have a potential hunch as to why this is happening it is super unfortunate and I would honestly recommend staying away from playing War Zone in Modern Warfare 3 until they publicly address this and it does get resolved because these types of lobbies it could lead to so many other issues I mean we don't know if people can necessarily hijack your PC get personal info from you it's it's just not really worth the risk you know so until that happens I would personally recommend staying away from the game until it does get addressed and fixed however they are most likely going to ban all of these people who are using these menus and cheating right now now what I'm about to say is just speculation it's just my best guess but what I think might be going on here is that they're essentially allowing people to cheat right now on Modern Warfare 3 because they knew that there was going to be an influx of more players on the game which most likely leads some more stuff like this more people are also interested in cheating on the game and I think there is a good chance that they're allowing the people who are cheating on war zone and Modern Warfare 3 to just bypass the anti-che so they can start collecting data on those people so they can get them banned and it also could be in preparation for Black Ops 6 and the Ricochet anti-che and security for that game this could all potentially be very valuable data that they're trying to collect from people who typically cheat on war zone and the newer Call of Duty games and maybe they could be using that for Black Ops 6 if there's anything that we've learned about Ricochet anti-cheats in the last couple of years for Call of Duty it's that it's not a fast acting solution it does not try to ban people immediately it doesn't try to get them off the game instead they'd rather kind of patiently sit around and wait and collect data on the cheaters and then they do these massive band waves which they can honestly advertise they try to make it seem like a big thing like oh we just banned 50,000 accounts we banned 100,000 hackers and it sounds great when it happens Until you realize that war zone is a free-to-play experience and people can just redownload the game and get back on if they so choose to do so and that is the main reason why I'm making this video you guys already know I hate people who cheat and hacking Call of Duty it's so lame it is a complete waste of time it ruins the experience and now that the games not just Modern Warfare 3 but also Black Ops 6 and most likely a lot of Call of Duty games going forward they are going to be on Game Pass which means means that people just need to subscribe to that and they don't need to pay the full price of the game to get into the multiplayer now and start cheating and hacking this is a very serious issue and they need to take it seriously we better get some kind of Correspondence we need some kind of official announcement from Activision and Call of Duty outlining what they plan to do about stuff like this because if they don't fix it soon it is going to ruin everything I don't know about you guys but I really don't think that this whole sitting around let's be patient let's collect data on the people cheating I don't feel like that's a great solution I feel like when people are blatantly cheating they should get permanently banned on the spot there should be no questions about it this video was on April 14th I did an entire video talking about the cheating problem in Call of Duty man just looking back at this video it's reminding me of the conversation I had back then and honestly it hasn't really changed because back in the day on like Black Ops 2 and stuff you know the older Call of Duty games a lot of the mod menus and stuff like this yes some people would be using aimbots and just getting cheap kills and ruining lobbies and stuff but back then some of the moded lobbies and the infections they were fun dude I remember playing all kinds of crazy and fun modded lobbies on Black Ops 2 they were people bringing Prop Hunts into the game even though it didn't really exist I'm pretty sure that also happened on COD 4 and World of War as well I'm also pretty sure there were like parkour maps and zombies in multiplayer there were just actual fun things that some of these modded lobbies could provide that's not what any of this is this is all just supering lame every aspect of what you're seeing in this mod menu right here is specifically just used to give players an unfair advantage and cheats and unfairly win win and beat other people in the game this is stupid as and man I don't know what kind of data they're trying to collect I'm hoping that it's specifically just data to find the actual people who make this stuff and continue to just shut them down because dude people are fed up people are tired of playing against cheaters in these newer Call of Duty games you got to draw the line somewhere I mean look at this dude Max Aimbot range dude I want to vomit after reading that this is just extremely frustrating stuff man and you guys already know like I like playing Modern Warfare 3 I love Call of Duty as a franchise I'm tired of seeing people try to ruin it and exploit it and just completely destroy everything if you're cheating in Call of Duty in 2024 especially with stuff like this you're degenerate loser you need to delete the game you need to just get off of the internet entirely because you're just a failure of life if you agree with anything that I said in this video and if you want to see these cheaters and hackers get banned and removed from these Call of Duty games make sure to drop a like subscribe and I'll see you guys later come boom welcome
