Cheating has become a rampant issue in the Call of Duty franchise. While Activision has sent out messages to tell the cheaters to stop, it hasn't seemed to have much of an effect on the situation. However, Activision has finally decided to take this situation seriously by bringing lawsuits against websites that actively promote cheating in Call of Duty.
It's not a secret that Call of Duty has been facing a huge problem in the form of cheating. Some players testify that they may run into a blatant cheater ever two to three games, while streamers like TimTheTatman and Shroud caught players like this during their streams who were not afraid that they'll get banned. Now, Activision is attempting to cut this out at the source by suing websites actively promoting cheating and enabling hacking in the FPS game.
While the company's last attempt to stifle cheaters didn't have much of an impact in that regard, its latest try may make a little more headway. According to a Reddit post from a Call of Duty player, one cheating website told its Discord server that it would be shutting down. Activision made the cheating website aware that the services provided there violated Call of Duty games' Terms of Service, and due to this, the website would be the target of a lawsuit from the gaming company. The cheat developers who used the site followed up this statement by saying that they will no longer be making or selling their cheats through the site.
Since this announcement, players who paid for the cheating services reported that their menus weren't working. While these avenues may not work, cheat developers warned fans that if they still attempted to use these products, these players may be banned from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Warzone by Infinity Ward or Activision. Some players were upset about this section of the site shutting down, claiming that they paid money for these services and demanding a refund for their services.
While the site may have shut down its Call of Duty cheats, the cheats for other games such as Apex Legends and PUBG are still on the market. This may not stop hackers from playing Call of Duty, but maybe this move by Activision will make them think twice about cheating in the game. Many players are excited that the company is finally cracking down on these cheaters, and hopefully this will continue.
