Warzone pros ZLaner & Kalei call out devs after stream snipers ruin another event Activision \/ Twitter: ZLanerOFFICIAL \/ FaZe ClanTwo of Warzone\u2019s top streamers lashed out at Raven Software in the midst of a $25,000 tournament as both OpTic Gaming\u2019s ZLaner and FaZe Clan\u2019s KaleiRenay fell victim to stream snipers once again. Stream snipers have been an issue in Warzone since day one. Pesky players fixate on some of the CoD BR\u2019s top names in hopes of tracking them down in-game and wiping them out for a moment in the spotlight. Everyone from xQc to Dr Disrespect has dealt with their fair share of Warzone stream snipers in recent months. The latter even put them on a tier below hackers cheating for wins. The issue hasn\u2019t gone anywhere despite Warzone\u2019s highly-anticipated jump to the Pacific in Season 1. BoomTV\u2019s very first tournament of the year just so happened to go off the rails early as star streamers ZLaner and Kalei were the targets for the latest stream sniping fiasco. Jumping into the $25,000 Code Red event on January 5, the pair had their sights set on victory. Within just two quick games, however, their run came to an abrupt end. They were specifically targeted in their lobbies and soon voiced frustrations on social media. \u201cThank you guys for the working stream mode,\u201d Kalei said sarcastically, \u201ceven when we hide screens. You guys are doing great Raven Software.\u201d Warzone does, in fact, have a streamer mode for the biggest names to toggle on. Though it does the exact opposite of what you might expect. Rather than obscuring a streamer\u2019s name to hide their identity in a lobby, it reverses and obscures the name of every other player. This has been a key point of contention over the past year in Warzone tournaments. Equally frustrated, ZLaner took to Twitter as well with one question. \u201cHow hard is it to implement a working streamer mode into a game?\u201d They weren\u2019t the only team that faced such issues during the event, forcing a number of big names out of the running and leading to one of Warzone\u2019s longest competitions yet at just under 12 hours. A question for any coders out there, how hard is it to implement a working streamer mode into a game? \u2014 OpTic ZLaner (@ZLanerOFFICIAL) January 5, 2022 Raven Software has never truly addressed the issue of stream sniping. Despite ample complaints from the community, nothing has yet been done. With Activision\u2019s focus currently on stamping out cheaters, perhaps a functioning streamer mode might be next on the agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
