Infinity Ward criticized for response to Warzone hackers Infinity WardModern Warfare developers Infinity Ward have received backlash from Call of Duty players over their latest response to the cheaters in Warzone. Since Modern Warfare released its free battle royale title, Warzone, on March 10, it has attracted many of the biggest gaming content creators, as well as millions of players around the world. Despite its incredible popularity, Warzone and its players have endured a significant and growing number of cheaters in recent weeks and months, and called on Infinity Ward to address the problem. Infinity Ward finally issued a response on July 24, revealing that \u201cmore banwaves are coming\u201d and warning players that they will be punished for using any mods or hacks in-game. However, there were mixed reactions to the developer\u2019s statement, with some Call of Duty personalities and pro players voicing their concern over the apparent lack of action taken so far. Infinity Ward criticized for Warzone cheating response CDL analyst and commentator Joe \u2018MerK\u2019 DeLuca highlighted the statement, later adding that this would \u201centice [cheaters] more,\u201d and received plenty of replies from pro players and streamers who were also disappointed. Call of Duty world champions, Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price and Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan were among the many to express their disappointment, mocking the devs for their approach to the issue. \u201cLook we\u2019re gonna ban some people, but like in the meantime, please just don\u2019t,\u201d ACHES added, imitating the Warzone devs\u2019 response. \u201cDon\u2019t do it. This may result in being banned.\u201d LMAOOOOOOOO \u2014 Jordan Kaplan (@JKap415) July 24, 2020 Dallas Empire star James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks also made light of the response, joking that the cheaters would all stop after Infinity Ward\u2019s warning. Welp! IW told us we can\u2019t cheat anymore so guess we better stop! \u2014 Empire Clayster (@Clayster) July 24, 2020 Huntsmen and NRG Co-CEO, Hector \u2018H3cz\u2019 Rodriguez later responded to another glitch that was found in Modern Warfare, joking that the devs could just \u201cput out a graphic\u201d for that as well. Dude its cool man, @InfinityWard is going to put out a graphic telling people “”not to do it\u2026 or else”” which should be sufficient enough to make people not want to do it. \u2014 OpTic HecZ (@H3CZ) July 24, 2020 NRG content creator Davis \u2018Hitch\u2019 Edwards also replied to the Warzone cheating post, explaining that, while he was happy with the devs addressing the issue, he would prefer that an anti-cheat system over the current ban waves. glad to see some action being taken. i would have loved to see some sort of anti-cheat rather than ban waves. cheaters have said it\u2019s easy to hop back on and cheat again post-ban. hopefully this helps in some capacity though \u2014 davis. (@hitchariide) July 24, 2020 However, despite some of the criticism, there were also top streamers such as TimTheTatman, NICKMERCS, and more that were seemingly happy with the steps being taken. Other players have called for an anti-cheat to be added to help combat this issue, although it is unclear if Infinity Ward intends to add one anytime soon. The Warzone devs have announced some of these ban waves before for Warzone and Modern Warfare, however, it was followed by complaints of players claiming they had been unfairly banned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
