Cold War cheating is out of control

[somedude519]

Crossplay, quick scoping and associated cheating have ruined the game play. Crossplay with PC players invited all the cheating whores to dominate the console players. In 10 matches today 9 were full of aimbots, invicibility hackers and ammo hacks. If they actually did something about the cheaters the game might be fun. Instead Warzone is basically unplayable, and multiplayer is a joke. Of Course there is no place to express disgust at the complete lack of policing by Infinity ward., because then they would have to actually fix the problem. Now there are perk hacks that allow players to call unlimited airstrikes. In one round someone had 141 kills using nothing but airstrikes. You would think reporting that asshole would spark some kind of action. Nope, three rounds later, same asshole, same hack, ruining the gameplay. I was listening to my team getting madder and madder everytime yet another jet would show up and rape the map. I'm disgusted. I took a break after WWII as it was the same story. I assumed Infinity would do something to make it more difficult for players to cheat. NOPE, same shit different $100 bucks out of my pocket for a FLAMING pile of shit experience. Good Job Infinity you ruined a great franchise. I won't be back. Asshats.

Welcome to the forums @somedude519.

You're listing crossplay and quickscoping as cheats, but most players can't turn off crossplay and we can all build a loadout that enables faster ADS times for quickscoping, these aren't cheats, that's all part of the game.

141 kills? Was that in Warzone where players can buy airstrikes? I don't play Warzone, I prefer Cold War MP, but how do you know all the kills were all from airstrikes?

Crossplay allows PC players to cheat without consequence. The stupidity of allowing console to compete against PC is an invitation for bots regardless of the rationale. Can you quick scope in combat? No, snipers train to take one accurate shot, not 7 to 8 shots in 3 seconds by lifting the scope. It's nonsense and ruins the gameplay. I was in the game and when you get raped by the same idiot over and over it shows the number of times you've been killed by that person in the cut screen. When you see 20 plus deaths to aircraft in less than five minutes in a multiplayer match ..... there is a problem. Warzone is unplayable. My favorite is being killed by a headshot from someone across the map that isn't even in visual distance (you know like you are in a real combat situation the enemy sees you and you them).

Cheats are going to cheat, I don't think the cheating is as widespread as you claim.

I play on PC, I have a friend on PlayStation, I'm not particularly good at using sniper rifles, he plays sniper like he is on God mode. He can easily beat me to get to ads and take a shot, it's all about the setup, practice, and muscle memory. We have played many a game of free for all together, either just the 2 of us or a small group, snipers only, and he wins every time, he can even outgun players with LMGs, SMGs, and ARs.

As for Quickscope in combat, maybe you're playing the wrong game, I don't think people buy CoD games for realism, games that work like real combat are not fun, people don't jump around corners and prance around jumping and sliding all over the place. Soldiers tend to move in formation, communicate efficiently, support each other, and they don't respawn a few seconds after getting taken out.

I was in the game and when you get raped by the same idiot over and over it shows the number of times you've been killed by that person in the cut screen. When you see 20 plus deaths to aircraft in less than five minutes in a multiplayer match ..... there is a problem. Warzone is unplayable.

I would like to see a video of that.

I just Google Plunder and respawn times and found this website, where it states this about plunder:

A very important aspect for this mode is that respawn is fully enabled. If you die, there’s a 15 second timer, and once that’s up, you can sent back to redeploy onto the map to get back into the action.

So I looked that up because I like to deal with facts and not exaggerations, 20 respawns would take 20*15 seconds which is 300 seconds, and 300/60 is 5, so that's either some highly effective cheat that not only kills you the first time, but accurately times and places the next airstrike to hit you the moment you get back into the game.

Now if you're not playing Plunder, then how are you able to get back into the game 20 times?

We have had many a conversation and even full-blown rants about 'PC Cheats' on these forums, but as I said, I don't think it is as widespread as people make out, most cheats play to win, and they are don't target individual players, they target all players and trample over anyone that gets in the way so that they can achieve their win and build their stats.

You make it sound like the cheats you have come across are targeting you specifically, and that can't be right, plus for you to get killed 20 times in a single game by the same player suggests that you're making yourself a far too easy target.

Your opinion is your opinion. I've been playing COD and Battlefield for a long time, I'm not a new player. Next time I see that kind of hacking I will take a clip of it and you can see for yourself. Like the AC 130 and other perks it doesn't matter where on the map you are if they are using a combo of hacks.. The experience I had was re-spawning and dying over 20 times in my spawn area. It was a multiplayer 12 v 12 game.

Normally I could give two shits about the cheaters and hackers as they are in every game across the platforms. When it is unreasonable that is where I have an issue. I normally have a decent K/D ratio per game. No I didn't suggest I was the only one targeted, I was pointing out my personal experience with one specific cheater. I routinely see aimbots in the replays, and yes I know what I am looking at when I see them. I also see targeting hacks (players have triangles over their heads across the map, perpetual spy planes if you will, and they are common to see in the replay, not the standard replays either. I have sent numerous to Infinity.. A few folks have lost their accounts over it.

There is a difference between sucking and being raped by someone cheating. Anyone can tell the difference. I don't mind being knifed by a 9 or sniped out of a concealed position. I do mind being killed by a napalm drop inside a building nowhere near a window. Those are typical game issues that everyone deals with across platforms.

Again, your opinion. Mine is the game is more toxic and more cheaters than I've ever seen.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't think I have encountered cheats, but as I play HC Free-For-All, so I never see kill cams to see if anyone might be cheating, but also, I play Cold War only now, so maybe they are better at dealing with cheats or the cheats just haven't moved over.

I would tend to agree with you and have had a few similar experiences myself. I back out of the game, report the player and wait a couple of min to join a lobby. Cheating is quite common here.

People who need to cheat to play this game are lovers. They need aimbots and wall hacks then think they're so good . Take those away from them and they would be lucky to have a 1 kd . If you need to cheat don't play

Watch carefully and you will see the majority of cheating going on is from kids with consoles that are using lag switches. To assume this is PC players is unjust in my opinion. The majority of PC players are older and more respectful. The people using lag switches are very obvious and they often brag in-game about doing so. There are many children under the age of 18 playing and the majority I have seen using these lag switches that they can make at home easily in my experience have been all console players.

I certainly understand your frustration as it has been completely out of control recently. When you have a 30 mc connection to the host and everyone including yourself is complaining about lagging only when attempting to fire at a specific player on the enemy team it becomes more obvious. When the lag switcher is the host everyone experiences connection interruptions on and off and it coincides with the switcher firing at enemies. It couldn't be more obvious. I hope it can be addressed in a better way. I know the ban cheaters when caught but it seems there are in nearly every round. This is not the same as actual hacking the game which in my experience is very rare but there are sites with hacks sold for console and PC unfortunately. The lag switches are cheaper and just as effective and the ones using them think they will not be caught but they do get caught.

No, snipers train to take one accurate shot, not 7 to 8 shots in 3 seconds by lifting the scope. It's nonsense and ruins the gameplay.

There is a 20 x scope.
