Warzone streamers Symfuhny & BobbyPoff suggest ban wave made huge impact Activision\/BobbyPoff\/SymfuhnyTop Warzone streamers Mason \u2018Symfuhny\u2019 Lanier and BobbyPoff have suggested that the recent ban wave has made a huge impact, saying they\u2019ve run into no hackers since Activision\u2019s update. On February 2, Activision confirmed that they have an anti-cheat system in place in Call of Duty and, more importantly, they had banned a further 60,000 players as a result. Much of the reaction to the news was actually quite negative. Most players are concerned about how easy it is for hackers to just make new accounts to play on, rendering this wave somewhat useless if so. Streamers such as TimTheTatman didn\u2019t think much of the ban wave \u2014 as shown in the clip below \u2014 but it may have actually done more good than people expected. 60,000+ accounts have been banned today for cheating in Call of Duty & Warzone Timmy Tenders: \u201c60,000 cheaters got banned today? That\u2019s gonna be 60,000 new accounts, who gives a fuck?\u201d pic.twitter.com\/nxVqIpanrI \u2014 Wicked Good Gaming (@WickedGoodGames) February 3, 2021 According to Symfuhny and Bobby, they\u2019ve not actually encountered any cheaters at all since Activision\u2019s update, having died to them multiple times a day prior to that. Symfuhny said: \u201cI\u2019ve played eight hours yesterday, an hour and a half today, and I haven\u2019t died to a cheater once I don\u2019t think.\u201d Bobby said pretty much the same thing as Symfuhny, too. \u201cTwo days ago I ran into nine hackers. Yesterday I ran into three hackers. Today, I\u2019ve run into zero hackers. With the last update, it basically reset all the coding for all the cheating companies, so they\u2019re scrambling to try and get all their software up and running.\u201d Poff added that he\u2019s \u201creally surprised\u201d the hackers aren\u2019t back yet, as they normally return fairly quickly, so he\u2019s hoping Activision will be quicker off the mark next time there\u2019s an update and the hackers get going again. It\u2019s possible that the devs are taking more strenuous measures to shield against hackers now, especially with stars such as Vikkstar going viral by announcing their plans to quit playing the game. The biggest test will be after the next Warzone patch, which is when cheats are usually refreshed and working again \u2014 hopefully, the number of hackers will still be severely depleted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
