Warzone guru JGOD shows how kill cams can make normal players look like hackers Twitter, @JGODYT \/ ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone and hackers have a storied history. But JGOD, using a Dr Disrespect clip, shows why \u201cde-synced\u201d kill cams can make normal players get unfairly accused of cheating. Whether in casual or competitive environments, accusations against hackers run as rampant as actual cheaters in Warzone lobbies. And one situation escalated to the point where trusted content creator JGOD had to step in and mediate. During ZLaner\u2019s $50,000 tournament, a player seemed to kill Dr Disrespect in a highly suspicious fashion. The kill cam lets you see how you were taken down and, in Doc\u2019s case, things looked very bizarre \u2014 with hit markers seeming to pop up without crosshairs lining up accurately. With hacks like silent aim existing in the game, Doc\u2019s team was rightfully concerned about the kill. But, as JGOD showed with clips comparing POVs, it appears that it was simply a bugged kill cam \u2014 raising questions about accusations, generally. Crazy how desynced Kill cams can be. Can see bottom one get a hitmarker at 0:21 before the weapon is even drawn whereas the top one is fully aimed down sight. https:\/\/t.co\/WiIZKOg7d9 pic.twitter.com\/YJ4H5M53FE \u2014 James \u2013 JGOD (@JGODYT) September 3, 2021 As you can see from Doc\u2019s POV, it looks like the enemy is getting hit markers before even aiming down sights at him. And that\u2019s reasonably suspicious, as silent aim essentially looks the same. But, as JGOD points out, the killer\u2019s POV already shows the gun drawn and aimed in before hit markers start popping up. Essentially, the play wasn\u2019t suspicious at all \u2014 there\u2019s just spectator lag making the gameplay look illegitimate. Additional factors were brought up in response to JGOD, with popular CoD caster Maven noting that \u201ckill cams are atrocious, but especially bad when it\u2019s a player with high ping like this.\u201d So this leaves us with some clear takeaways. The first is that we can\u2019t rely on kill cams to paint an accurate story and the second is that it\u2019ll be nice to have an anti-cheat so that players aren\u2019t dissecting their kill cams out of paranoia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
