Top Warzone players call for Streamer Mode after Tommey shares POV of stream snipers Activision \/ Twitter: 100 ThievesAfter yet another stream sniping incident in Warzone, 100 Thieves star Thomas \u2018Tommey\u2019 Trewren took to Twitter, showcasing the state of the Call of Duty battle royale, as well as pleading with the developers for a better Streamer Mode. Stream sniping has historically been a major issue in the gaming industry. A number of popular titles over the years have fallen victim as popular streamers are hunted down by viewers around the world. In order to prevent this from happening, select games have introduced streamer-friendly modes. This provides a unique set of options to mask identity in-game. When combined with a slight stream delay, no one should ever have to deal with pesky stream snipers again. At least that\u2019s how it works on paper. While Warzone does have a Streamer Mode, stream sniping is still a major issue. Without actually hiding player names, the mode does little to help the biggest personalities. Tommey has felt this frustration time and again, finally reaching his breaking point on March 14 after pleading with the developers for a big change. This is exactly why I’m not having fun in tournaments. pic.twitter.com\/cKEhm8tkny \u2014 Tommey (@Tommey) March 14, 2021 \u201cThis is exactly why I\u2019m not having fun in tournaments,\u201d the former competitive CoD player tweeted alongside a clip. The video is from another group of players specifically targeting Tommey in the midst of a tournament. \u201cTommey\u2019s just been brought back,\u201d one of them said urgently. \u201cHe\u2019s at Fire Station.\u201d Having kept a close eye on his stream, they were able to call out his position the moment he came back into the lobby. \u201cThey\u2019re in our streams calling our locations and hard playing for us as Warzone has no actual working streamer mode,\u201d Tommey explained, before begging the devs, \u201cPlease can we have a working streamer mode in Warzone?\u201d Please can we have a working streamer mode in WZ, @RavenSoftware? The current one that’s been in since the beginning does not work properly. It changes everyone else’s name and not your own, which defeats the point of the feature in the first place. \u2014 Tommey (@Tommey) March 14, 2021 This example is just one instance of one team trying to put an end to his tournament run. There could be dozens of players in any given day that turn Tommey\u2019s stream on for a competitive advantage or purely just to tick him off. The same can be for all manner of popular streamers. With the state of Warzone\u2019s current streamer mode, it simply doesn\u2019t do the job, according to Tommey. \u201cThe current one that\u2019s been in since the beginning does not work properly. It changes everyone else\u2019s name and not your own, which defeats the point of the feature in the first place.\u201d \u201cI\u2019d rather die to a hacker than having Jimmy and his cousins chasing me around the map,\u201d he added.

You know what’s crazy? This is the little kids messages to me on Twitch. pic.twitter.com\/MOgs8fWNJh \u2014 Tommey (@Tommey) March 14, 2021 Devs are yet to issue a response though a young player from the stream sniping team did. A 13-year-old reached out through Tommey\u2019s Twitch DMs to apologize for the behavior. \u201cMy teammates told me to stream snipe,\u201d they said. \u201cI just didn\u2019t want to get dropped so I did what they said.\u201d Immediately feeling \u201cbad for the little kid,\u201d Tommey accepted the apology and moved on. The apology doesn\u2019t change, however, that the issue of stream sniping is more common today than it\u2019s ever been, and it\u2019s fair for pros to demand change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
