What's up everybody it's Jon from RealGamerNewZ here and we have a serious situation, Call of Duty: Vanguard is just 23 days away and yet as you can clearly see from some of the footage we're going to show you today in this video, Call of Duty Warzone, Modern Warfare, and Black Ops: Cold War are all in a state of crisis. Now I've always heard about hackers ruining the game but to be honest 99% of my play-time has been without any issues and I don't know if I was just lucky or what but we've been able to bring in wins here with the $K!L Clan and only rarely seen a few sketchy characters at the end-game times.
However, this time around, even Activision Blizzard themselves are commenting about it to the public, making a threat to hackers about something that's supposed to happen tomorrow apparently to the game!
The problem that appears to be happening is that games are locking up, slowing to a crawl, outright freezing, and seemingly dropping connection for a while before coming back to life with the server resuming the action. This happened across various titles in the Call of Duty staple across cross-play matches including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players. Everyone was seeing the same lock-ups at the same time, it was even present during kill-cams and spectator modes, and it persisted for a long time before the games resumed.
As you can see here we posted on our Instagram page the Call of Duty rant developers have gone on after the hackers seem to be indicated here as the reason to why such a thing is happening. Now we have a couple more theories so make sure to stay to the end of the video, drop a like, comment and subscribe... but first here's the full Official statement from Activision:
"Dear Cheaters,
We love games, it's our passion.
We're honored to make games for the greatest fans in the world.
We don't always get it right, but we're committed to doing our best.
Cheating ruins the fun for everyone.
No one likes a cheater.
Our goal is to deliver a fun and fair gaming experience.
For our players.
For our fans.
And most importantly...
For Call of Duty players everywhere.
Cheaters aren't welcome.
There's No Tolerance for Chaters.
And Soon You'll Know What We Mean.
Call of Duty"
This letter was posted by the Call of Duty social media pages in the early mornings hours when activity in the game like this was first witnessed and all the way through the night time we are still seeing the same problems effect various games.
But that's not all, The letter was originally posted with the headline, "See you tomorrow." meaning that hopefully something will be done about what seemingly could be a DDOS attack, or even some new advanced mechanism to weed out and remove cheaters who are detected to be in the game either through in-person moderators, ai algorithm detection methods, or more likely both.
So all of this is pointing to what could hopefully be a new hotfix for the game taking care of some of the exploits that cheating software is using. Now we aren't going to go into detail here about how that stuff works, and if you use it then you will get not only your copy of the game banned, but also the IP address (the place where you are living), the devices you are using, and the accounts you are using banned from the service.
But basically, people are paying tons of money, usually in foreign countries ruling class like the princes and whales you've been hearing about buying Grand Theft Auto 5 Shark Cards constantly to build up their skyscrapers, mansions, and luxury car collections. Call of Duty developers have a vested interest in taking these people down especially with Warzone only having a basic tileset for its map all this time and rumblings of a new map are on the way some time soon-ish with Call of Duty Vanguard coming out as well.
If fans are expected to continue buying these products and spending money in good faith on microtransactions, which is a whole separate conversation we'll need to be having again soon, then in that case Activision Blizzard Sledgehammer RavenSoft Infinity Ward Treyarch and the rest need to get this problem figured out. I'm not saying it's an easy one to figure out, but let's hope the next swing they take helps push a lot of momentum back in the right direction.
What did you guys think of the Call of Duty Vanguard Beta? Will you be picking up the game on November 5th? Let me know in the comments your thoughts on the direction Call of Duty has been taking the past few games and what you'd rather see happening instead. Until Next Time, Keep It Real & Keep It Gaming. Peace!
