Warzone has been notorious for hacking. Cheaters using wall hacks, auto-aim and other nefarious tools have plagued the battle royale for ages, infuriating players. Activision has sought to remedy this with the introduction of its anti-cheat Ricochet, and have been detailing plans going forward to combat cheaters going forward, including literally disarming them. However, not everyone is impressed with Ricochet. Some streamers such as TimTheTatman have even expressed doubts over its effectiveness, eventually leading to Dr Disrespect to make a bold claim on social media. Dr Disrespect calls Warzone anti-cheat a \u201cPR scandal\u201d On June 28, the two-time rhetorically asked The Champions Club what the biggest in PR scandal in video game history was, before answering his own question. \u201cRICOCHET,\u201d he said without providing further context behind why he felt this way. Doc\u2019s remarks sparked a firestorm within the community with some opposing the streamer while others stood with him. https:\/\/twitter.com\/pandygills\/status\/1542030735309262849 \u201cLiterally in what way? The game introduced a better anti-cheat called Ricochet. It\u2019s not that deep?\u201d one replied. \u201cI can with all honesty say I\u2019ve experienced more blatant hacking since the Anti-cheat came out,\u201d replied another. \u201cI was backing them the whole time it was being spoken about but soon realized it\u2019s bullsh*t.\u201d \u201cYeah, and the anti-cheat doesn\u2019t work at all and it\u2019s funny that Doc plays with one of the most accused players of all time,\u201d a user replied, referring to ZLaner. Yeah and the anti cheat doesn\u2019t work at all and its funny that DOC plays with one of the most accused player of all time. But now he\u2019s complaining about a anti cheat that doesn\u2019t work and DOC is real quick to call out others for cheating though lmao\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 \u2014 KREASE_1976 (@MicahDuncan19) June 29, 2022 The YouTuber\u2019s statements also resulted in some taking issue with Doc implementing NFTs into his upcoming video game, believing that to be a bigger PR issue. In any case, we\u2019ll have to see if Ricochet can redeem itself in Doc\u2019s eyes when Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 launch later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Disrespect sparks debate after calling Warzone anti-cheat gaming\u2019s \u201cbiggest PR scandal\u201d Activision\/YouTube\/DrDisrespectYouTuber Dr Disrespect has caused a debate in the Call of Duty Warzone community after calling the game\u2019s anti-cheat, Ricochet, the biggest \u201cPR scandal\u201d in video game in history.
