NICKMERCS quits Warzone tournaments as cheaters run rampant Twitch: NICKMERCS\/ActivisionNick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has revealed that he\u2019s \u201cdone\u201d with competitive Warzone tournaments as they\u2019re filled cheaters and players using loopholes. [jwplayer N1L8Sl7d] It\u2019s an unfortunate truth that cheating and hacking in Call of Duty: Warzone has become something players are no longer surprised to see. From aimbots that lock-on to enemies from across the map, to players standing inside solid walls, it\u2019s not uncommon to see multiple examples of hacking in every single play session. Despite this being a serious issue in public matchmaking, it\u2019s arguably more concerning when it begins to affect the competitive side of the game. That\u2019s exactly what\u2019s been happening recently, with multiple Warzone tournament contenders being accused of cheating or loopholing to find easier lobbies. NICKMERCS has now spoken out on the topic and it looks like he\u2019s finally done with competitive Warzone tournaments. NICKMERCS on cheaters in competitive Warzone On his January 20 stream, NICKMERCS voiced his opinion on the current state of competitive Warzone. He began by expressing how bad tournaments have got because of loopholers and cheaters: \u201cnow, they\u2019re doing s**t, they\u2019ve been doing s**t, that\u2019s even more crazy than that, I mean dude there\u2019s routers at play\u2026 there\u2019s all kinds of hacks.\u201d Nick certainly isn\u2019t the first big personality in the Call of Duty scene to address these problems. It was only back in December that, founder of 100 Thieves, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag voiced his concern on stream about players using routers to find easier lobbies.

Where\u2019s the honor system.\u201d (via @WickedGoodGames) Interestingly, Nick compares Warzone\u2019s competitive situation with that of Fortnite, expressing that cheating becomes inevitable when there\u2019s enough money on the table: \u201cI told you guys, I told all of you, this is the natural evolution of these games, the same s**t happened in Fortnite.\u201d It\u2019s obvious he\u2019s has come to the end of the line with competitive Warzone until action is taken against players that are abusing exploits: \u201cyou can be apart of it, I\u2019m not, I\u2019m not unless there\u2019s some extra incentive for me to play a tournament, I\u2019m not playing.\u201d There\u2019s no denying that more and more competitors are starting to use these exploits in Warzone tournaments. As Nick states, it becomes all the more difficult for players who are trying to win without the use of these cheats: \u201cshoutout to the ones who aren\u2019t you know, I feel bad for Tommey and Aydan and those type of players.\u201d (via @WickedGoodGames) It\u2019s no surprise that so many competitive Warzone players are beginning to lose their patience with the exploits taking place in tournaments. We can only hope that the developers implement a better anti-cheat system and the organizers of these competitive events enforce specific rules.
