Cheater gives Modern Warfare devs tips to prevent hackers and aimbotters Infinity WardIn a strange turn of events, a cheater in titles like Grand Theft Auto and Battlefield 4 offered a way for the Modern Warfare devs to keep hackers and aimbotters from ruining Multiplayer, as well as Warzone. The situation with hackers has been ruining the overall gameplay experience from Infinity Ward\u2019s latest Call of Duty. In fact, the problem has gotten so out of hand that the community have called for permanent bans for cheaters in the past. But that doesn\u2019t mean that Activision and IW aren\u2019t trying to nail the hackers to their game. On March 31, they announced that they\u2019ve banned over 50,000 accounts for some kind of cheating, and more are expected to come. That push to counteract cheaters was impressive, but wholly ineffective since there are still aimbotters, wall hackers, and the like festering in Modern Warfare\u2019s servers to this day. While there isn\u2019t much the devs or publisher can do to stop all cheaters in their tracks, a Reddit user called \u2018DeclanH23\u2019 came forward about their past hacking habit to give a sort of formula to weed out the aimbotters. \u201cI was a prevalent user of mods on Battlefield 4 and I\u2019m currently on GTA Online,\u201d they said. \u201cSo let me tell you exactly how to set up a system to stop aimbotters in their tracks.\u201d When DeclanH23 hacked in BF4 (another FPS title) there were certain weapons that they, and other hackers, would commonly use \u2013 they referred to these as \u201cprime aimbotter weapons.\u201d Well the stats attached to their account, like headshots per death, kills per minute, longest kill streaks, and more were wildly above the norm. And it\u2019s here how they believe Infinity Ward could thwart aimbotters. \u201c[Infinity Ward] should analyse which weapons in [their] game would be perfect for aimbotters, and closely examine the statistics.\u201d They said that IW\u2019s system should be \u201cabsolutely screeching if a player is new, has gone straight into warzone and their headshots per kill is 5 times the average.\u201d To make the hunt for aimbotters much easier, they suggest the devs consider making a formula that accounts for \u201caccuracy, score, kills, headshots and time played with each gun,\u201d and then weed out any player who is significantly outside of the average. Aimbotters typically get really smart when employing their cheats, so a bit of wisdom from a seasoned cheater could give Modern Warfare the tools it needs to prevent them from further ruining games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
