Luckily, things may finally be looking up for those wanting a clean battle royale experience. Anti-cheat Police Department is an established group of hack-hunters hellbent on exposing and shutting down cheaters in a number of games, including Warzone. According to the watchdog group, the fact that Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Warzone will drastically help in the fight against cheaters. Taking to Twitter, the organization explained: \u201cSome good news if you hate cheaters Windows 7 will stop being supported by COD: Warzone on September 8th, 2021.\u201d Some good news if you hate cheaters Windows 7 will stop being supported by COD: Warzone on September 8th, 2021. This will reduce cheaters significantly, that use win 7 to exploit the game, I suggest you update to windows 10, a matter of time before other companies do the same \u2014 Anti-Cheat Police Department \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f (@AntiCheatPD) August 14, 2021 Warzone hackers exploit Windows 7 Apparently, lots of cheaters make use of older operating systems and by Warzone no longer functioning on it, the game will be better off. \u201cThis will reduce cheaters significantly, that use Windows 7 to exploit the game. I suggest you update to Windows 10, a matter of time before other companies do the same,\u201d they added. September 8 isn\u2019t that far off and it will be incredibly interesting to see just how significant of a decrease in hackers we end up seeing once Warzone is no longer playable on the OS. Though, it\u2019s unclear how many Warzone players there are using Windows 7 to begin with. People who believe their potential is held back because of input lag that is in milliseconds, or just cheaters that exploit old version of windows \u2014 Anti-Cheat Police Department \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f (@AntiCheatPD) August 14, 2021 When asked about why on earth anyone would use Windows 7 in the first place, the organization replied: \u201cPeople who believe their potential is held back because of input lag that is in milliseconds, or just cheaters that exploit old version of Windows.\u201d Combined with other anti-hack measures taken by Activision to combat spoofing and account selling, Warzone may finally be headed towards a spot where it\u2019s playable. Plus, with rumors that a major anti-cheat will be introduced with COD: Vanguard, it\u2019s possible that by 2022, Warzone could feel like a completely different experience. Let\u2019s hope that the trend continues and more pieces of the anti-cheat puzzle fall into place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone anti-cheat watchdog reveals why hackers will \u201creduce significantly\u201d in September ActivisionHackers have been plaguing Call of Duty Warzone for ages now and despite efforts by Activision to keep the cheaters in check, they keep coming back.
