Re: New COD Launched Today

@hayhor Console players were turning off cross play in Warzone as well long before the Cold War beta due to massive cheating issues on PC. It seems Respawn is very well aware of this since they appear to have turned off cross play with PC for the beta. I have yet to get matched with a PC player.

    @ArchAngeL-PCX They said the only way a console sees pc lobbies is by teaming with a pc player. I've done this a few times without running into cheaters.
  • @hayhor ok. I didn't realize you had to specifically invite the PC player in order to ever get into a PC lobby as a console player.

    Well that was fast. Beta not even finished and cheats already created and ready for the full release.

    Seriously if you're investing in a high end PC to play games at maximum value then having the prospect of someone snapping shots at you. Kick in the teeth.

    In years to come if it gets any worse we are going to end up choosing consoles demanding M&K support/using third party hardware and play on lower graphics in order to have fair play.

    The rate of bans reported and applied is of a lower rate compared to new accounts for cheating are created. So it means you can't ever minimise the problem, more of a cure than a prevention.

    Creating email addresses are free and someone can bypass hardware based bans with technical skillset.

    Battle royal games are free in itself. SMS 2FA login is really needed everytime you want to play or app linked to mobile number. Good for security anyway and if banned then the mobile phone number associated is also banned. Means cheaters would have to constantly buy a new SIM card and add credit, time consuming for them and costs bit of money and effort. But at the moment they just create new email accounts or use disposable ones off certain websites which are immediately ready.

    Imagine that simple change and resources of people freed up having to deal with every cheat ticket
