Call of Duty has released a new feature that instantly shows when a player cheats in its latest game – Call of Duty: Warzone. With the update, players who cheat are now exposed in real-time in the kill feed for everyone to see.
The new feature works by labeling kills from cheaters – showing ”Cheater” in the kill feed instead of the name of the player. Showing cheaters in the kill feed was a direct response from the community, who have been voicing their disagreements with cheaters.
The cheating problem in Call of Duty: Warzone has been rampant and caused a lot of frustration with players. Cheating is not only an insult to the ethics of game play, but it also causes game performance issues including lag, ruining the gaming experience.
The new feature is now in place in Warzone and it is already creating more transparency, helping to decrease the amount of cheaters in the game. If a player is labelled a cheater, they are immediately investigated by Activision and the player could find themselves permanently banned from the game.
Although the new feature does not protect players from cheating entirely, it does enable players to report suspicious behavior and hold cheaters more accountable for their actions.
Overall, this new feature is an encouraging step by Activision to crack down on cheaters and make Warzone a much fairer and more enjoyable place to play.
