Infinity Ward Bans Over 70,000 Cheaters From Call of Duty Warzone
Warzone has quickly become one of the most popular battle royale games in the genre since its March 10 release. The free-to-play game boasts over 50 million players, but cheaters have been an issue since launch.
Content creators have highlighted cheaters in videos while spectating them after falling victim to one. Hacks like seeing through walls and aim bots ruin the integrity of the game and the experience for players.
Players have cried for a stricter anti-cheat system to punish players making accounts with cheats. While any response on that front remains a mystery, communication from the developer is news that should please the community.
