The Battle Against Hackers in Call of Duty Continues
The fight against hackers in Call of Duty is an ongoing battle, and it seems that even professional players are not immune to the consequences. On April 9, Activision made a statement announcing the ban of over 58,000 accounts in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. This ban wave affected various players, including some talent from the Call of Duty League.
Pro Players Caught in the Crossfire
One player who fell victim to the ban wave is Abuzah from the Seattle Surge team. Abuzah revealed on April 10 that he had been banned on the account he uses to play CDL matches, which poses a significant obstacle for him and his team. According to Abuzah, the ban likely resulted from using an unlock tool to obtain camos in the game.
Unlocking Camos: The Temptation and the Consequences
Unlocking camos in Call of Duty without earning them the traditional way often involves giving someone access to your account with an unlock tool. While this may seem like a shortcut to customization options, it is against the rules and can lead to severe repercussions. In Abuzah’s case, facing punishment from the Call of Duty League is a real possibility.
The Warning from Activision
Activision issued a statement cautioning players against falling for cheat vendors’ claims and emphasized their commitment to combating cheating. The Company announced that Team RICOCHET had carried out targeted cheat vendor enforcements, resulting in the banning of over 58,000 detected accounts. They also hinted at more ban waves to come.
Clayster’s Insight
Clayster, another professional player, chimed in on the discussion, sharing that he knew someone who had been banned for camos but was able to regain access by paying a fine. However, Abuzah’s situation remains uncertain.
The Impact of Hackers in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone
Hackers in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone have been wreaking havoc with cheats like wall-hacks and aimbots, affecting both the battle royale mode and ranked playlists. While using an unlock tool for camos may not be as severe, it still violates the rules and attracts automatic bans. Players should not be surprised by the consequences of such actions.
Abuzah’s Fate in the CDL
As Abuzah’s ban unfolds, questions arise regarding his availability to play with the Seattle Surge in the upcoming match against the Carolina Royal Ravens. Only time will tell if he will be able to participate and contribute to the team’s performance.
In conclusion, the battle against hackers in Call of Duty wages on, with recent ban waves affecting thousands of accounts. Professional players like Abuzah have found themselves caught in the crossfire, facing potential consequences for violating the rules by using unlock tools. The repercussions from cheating in the game are severe, as Activision continues to prioritize fair play and maintain the integrity of the Call of Duty League.
