Warzone players slam game as \u201cunplayable\u201d over Xbox Game Pass cheaters ActivisionWith Modern Warfare 3\u2019s launch on Xbox Game Pass, Warzone has seen an enormous surge in cheaters once again, with many players now labeling the CoD Battle Royale \u201cunplayable.\u201d Nine months after the closure of Microsoft\u2019s historic $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Call of Duty is now on Xbox Game Pass. There was plenty of speculation in the surrounding months, with even Microsoft questioning whether to bring the juggernaut FPS series to its subscription service. Now with Modern Warfare 3 available as of July 24, and this year\u2019s new release, Black Ops 6, set to be available on day one with its October 25 launch, speculation has been put to bed. However, now that plans are in motion, not everything is going according to the script. In light of Modern Warfare 3\u2019s arrival on Xbox Game Pass, a new issue has come into focus. Those playing on PC through the Microsoft Store are being shown as Xbox players in-game. An Xbox logo appears next to their name in lobbies. Due to this incorrect identification, cheaters on PC are able to mask their cheats by looking like Xbox players. Multiple prominent content creators, including the likes of JGOD, and our own sister site Charlie Intel, have all reported an uptick in cheaters of late. In particular, many of these cheaters are seen with the Xbox logo next to their name, even though most cheats stem from PC. While cheaters are nothing new, this time around, the surge in pesky players seems to be skirting around Activision\u2019s radar. The RICOCHET anticheat system isn\u2019t catching them in its net, and devs are yet to publicly comment on the matter. Naturally, many non-cheating players are sounding the alarm while fleeing the game in droves. \u201cRan into five different cheaters in five different games last night,\u201d one chimed in. \u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous,\u201d another concurred. \u201cBasically unplayable. Almost impossible to stay alive on the ground and barely even get to it. Forget about getting your loadout,\u201d one player added. With Season 5 in full swing, you\u2019ll have to be careful as you drop into lobbies over the coming days. Should Activision address the matter, we\u2019ll be sure to update you here with further details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
