Popular and reputed Warzone content creator Fifakill, recently called out Call of Duty as cheaters took hold of the game's servers. When it comes to cheating, Warzone is possibly in its worst state right now. In fact, the situation is so bad that the game is not only unplayable for casuals, but also for a vast majority of professional players and content creators, who rely on the title for a living.

Recently, after a disastrous experience with cheaters in one of his games, Fifakill decided to call out Call of Duty. He claimed that a cheater was streaming sniping him and followed him into every match.

"Got a stream sniping cheater crashing our lobbies as soon as we enter the plane so we can't even play the game."

However, that wasn't all. The cheater would crash the server as soon as they would load into the cutscene with the plane. This made the game completely unplayable for him.

Fifakill shares his frustration over the rising instances of cheating in Warzone

Fifakill was frustrated with cheaters in Warzone as they completely rendered the title unplayable for him. However, things took a turn for the worse when a cheater stream sniped him, followed him into every match, and crashed the entire lobby as soon as a match began.

Fifakill even taunted the developers for their lack of action against cheaters, saying:

"Feels like cheaters have more control of the game than devs rn".

Clearly showing his frustration, he added that at this point, it seemed as if the cheaters had more control over the game than the developers themselves. The cheater being able to crash the entire lobby certainly meant they had the means to overload the server whenever they felt like it.

Not only does this pose a problem to players, but also the developers as the cheaters could find vulnerabilities in the game's servers and wreak havoc. For example, gamers were advised not to play the PC version of Black Ops 3 as the servers had a lot of vulnerabilities that would allow the hacker to take control of the players' PC.

If similar things were to happen with Black Ops 6 and Warzone in 2024, it would be hard for the developers to win back the trust of their fans.

Call of Duty did acknowledge the concerns and previously announced that the anti-cheat system will be getting updated with the Season 2 update, with more patches joining in during Season 3.
