The Persistent Hacking Issues in Call of Duty’s Warzone
One of Twitch’s biggest streamers, Timthetatman, is once again facing the ongoing problem of hackers in Call of Duty’s Warzone. During a recent stream, Tim encountered yet another cheater in the first game.
While in solo spectator mode, where the streamer dies instantly to spectate other players, Tim quickly came across a hacker. The streamer watched as the hacker gunned down the player he had been spectating and went on to win the match.
Tim expressed his frustration, saying, “This is legitimately the state of Warzone right now. The last three games I have spectated over the past two days have had cheaters in all of them.”
The cheats witnessed during this match seemed similar to the ones xQc, another Twitch streamer, faced while being stream sniped by a viewer last week. The player even revealed that these cheats only cost him $20 and he had never faced a permanent ban for using them.
Shortly after spectating the player, Tim’s chat informed him that the player had an impressive 85 Kill/Death ratio, according to CODTracker.
Tim questioned the absence of an automated system, saying, “How is there no automated system? This guy has an 85 K/D and there’s no red flag that can go up and say, ‘Hey, this guy has an 85 Kill/Death ratio. Maybe we should investigate this one.'”
Tim asked his moderator to report the player to a contact he has within the Warzone banning team, but it’s unclear whether the player has been banned yet.
