Call of Duty: Warzone is set to launch into Season 5 soon, and with it comes a bunch of new content for fans to enjoy. However, players have been frustrated with the prevalent hacking problem that has been plaguing the game's community. Call of Duty: Warzone has been under attack by hackers for a while now, but the developers have made a new statement.
Call of Duty: Warzone has been banning hackers in massive waves as their main deterrent. Despite the rising number of banned accounts, the problem continues to persist as hackers appear throughout a multitude of game modes. This has pushed many fans to request an anti-cheat feature within the game, and the developers have responded.
In an announcement made on Twitter, Call of Duty: Warzone developer Raven Software confirmed the banning of 50,000 accounts in Warzone. More importantly, it confirmed it's listening to fan feedback and states that it's "hard at work behind the scenes." While it ends the Tweet with a promise for more information, many fans believe that this could be a hint at future anti-cheat implementation within the battle royale environment. While fans are left waiting for more information, this is confirmation that Raven Software is still working to combat the hacking threat within the game.
Many players in the comments share mixed opinions regarding Call of Duty: Warzone's hacker problems. While some fans believe that it is an unsolvable issue, others argue that Raven Software's ban waves are part of the problem. Meanwhile, there are still many fans who claim to have been banned without reason that continue to call on the developers for a more effective solution.
Anti-cheat is a complicated problem among the Call of Duty: Warzone community. While many fans agree that it is needed, there seems to be a lack of practical solutions that can be implemented on a large scale. It is unclear exactly what Raven Software has planned, but many fans are hoping that it will end the hacker epidemic.
Call of Duty: Warzone continues to advance its plot, content, and features despite negative hacker perceptions. The servers remain populated, and many casual fans are still enjoying the semi-competitive experience. With ban waves still going through, an active report system in place, and an unknown solution set for the future, many competitive fans are waiting to see if it will be time to return to the Call of Duty: Warzone lobbies.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
