Vikkstar is a content creator with over 7 million followers on YouTube, where he recently made a channel announcement: He quits Call of Duty: Warzone. The battle-royal game, he says, “is in the worst condition it has ever been,” to the extent that fraudsters sometimes feel confident in streaming their antics.
This is remarkable because War zone performed well for him on YouTube, and he also won tournaments. But apparently the satiety of people who use tools like micro-butter is so bad that it plays War zone became ‘painful’, he says during the video. The footage then shows a match where he plays against a cheater. While he says it’s possible he could return to the game if a major update takes place, he’s not the only personality currently occupying the status of the game.
The problem seems to be most common on computers, which is why content creators like Jackfrags are currently creating their viewers to eliminate crossplay. This way, fans playing on consoles do not have to be saddled with potential hackers using illegal programs. The game will actively encourage you to keep at it, and sometimes repeatedly ask if you are sure you do not want to play cross.
Activision recently seems well aware of the problem announcement of a War zone ban on 60,000 fraudsters. (Activision did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
“We have no tolerance for fraudsters,” reads a blog post describing the publisher’s actions toward offenders. In the report, Activision promises to increase “our efforts” against fraudsters by improving their anti-cheat software, adding detection technology and devoting more resources to monitoring the state of the game.
‘We know that fraudsters are constantly looking for vulnerabilities, and we continue to spend 24/7 resources identifying and combating cheats, including aimbots, wallhacks, trainers, stat hacks, texture hacks, leaderboard hacks, injectors, hex editors and any third-party software. which is used to manipulate game data or memory, ”the report continues.
Prohibition waves have appeared from time to time, with the developer eliminating thousands and thousands of accounts – forcing even hackers to play against each other. One fraudster was even urged to apologize to the community for causing ‘pain’. But despite these efforts, the problem seems to persist enough that content creators take matters into their own hands.
