Community issues with cheating in Call of Duty have risen exponentially in the last year or so, with many complaining that cheaters in Warzone have led t0 some online matches being unplayable. While Activision have released multiple statements and lawsuits to combat cheaters and sites selling exploits, many players have called on them to do more. What is worrying even more players, though, is that a minority appear to be cheating in the ongoing Black Ops Cold War Beta. That\u2019s right, a beta. While earlier weekends in the beta have been strictly limited to those who have pre-ordered and PS4 players, October 17 sees it opened to all players, regardless of platform or pre-orders. Xbox, PC and PS4 players can now all play Treyarch\u2019s latest instalment, but that has seemingly led to some issues. Redditor \u2018madzuk\u2018 shared footage of one Cartel match, which shows an opponent quite clearly aimbotting. Their XM4 spins around the map, locking onto opponent after opponent, and meant they racked up an incredible 94 kills in the completed game. For the Redditor and their teammates, it simply meant confirmation of what they feared \u2013 that people are hacking in the Beta of an upcoming title. The frustration of many players then turned to Activision, asking how the major publisher is failing to prevent cheating in a Beta. \u201cWe\u2019re literally a week into the beta and the games ruined by cheaters and SBMM already,\u201d one fan replied. \u201cI can\u2019t believe the series I love and played daily for over a decade has turned into this.\u201d The Reddit user\u2019s post has already garnered over 1,200 upvotes, as players strive to draw attention the cheater. Hopefully we don\u2019t see many more posts like this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Ops Cold War cheaters are already ruining multiplayer \u2013 in a beta TreyarchBlack Ops Cold War fans have been left frustrated after it has become clear that some players have been cheating and aimbotting \u2013 in the game\u2019s ongoing beta.
