Hackers seem to have gotten the upper hand in Call of Duty: Warzone, so much so that some are even becoming Twitch affiliates.
There’s no denying that cheating has become a huge problem in Call of Duty: Warzone. Just one look at the Warzone subreddit will reveal near-hourly posts from angry players that have had their day ruined by a wallhacker, aimbotter, or some other player using illegal software.
It’s gotten to the point where some players think the only way to play the game at all is to cheat–which is exactly what some Twitch streamers do.
The latest example is a post from Reddit user StreamingRightnowHD who clipped a video of Twitch affiliate streamer SupershamanTV. A prolific Warzone player with over 11,000 kills, SupershamanTV is also an apparent aimbotter.
Everything seems copacetic in the video below, but when SupershamanTV engages two guys in a shed with his submachine gun, it becomes immediately obvious that he’s cheating.
After he flashbangs one of the enemies into making a mad dash out of the shed, his aimbot locks on to the wrong guy. Instead of taking down the obvious target–the guy running out of the shed in plain view–it locks on to the guy hiding behind the door. There’s no possible way that StreamingRightnowHD could have seen that enemy to know his location, and it’s even more bizarre that he lets the enemy he can see live for a few moments so he can expend a bunch of ammunition by shooting a wall.
Infinity Ward has only just acknowledged that the cheating problem persists in a Twitter post yesterday, promising that more bans are coming to combat the issue. However, the hacker problem has become so rampant on PC that players are skeptical. Anything short of drastic action is unlikely to solve the problem anytime soon.
