In video game jargon, there is a term called ‘OP’, or over-powered. However, Call of Duty: Warzone players discovered something far worse than OP opponents, namely ‘God Mode’.
A multitude of players complained about hackers and glitches ruining the Call of Duty battle royale title. Apparently, some players mysteriously gain access to unlimited health, and the unfortunate victims are furious.
When Warzone dropped, it made a tsunami in the Call of Duty circle and in wider communities. Millions of players flocked to the game and wanted a piece of the action. However, it is not all sunshine and rainbows, as the game attracted a large number of hackers.

Admittedly, there is a chance that it could pass off as a glitch in the matrix, and it is randomly affecting players. However, beyond a reasonable doubt, it is literally game-breaking. This glitch/hack ruined plenty of experiences when they squared off against an immortal opponent.
This is not the only issue in Call of Duty: Warzone
Many players are already fuming at the presence of numerous hackers with aimbots and other similar cheats. One such victim is Lance Pitcher, where his entire squad appeared to outclass their opponents, but they stubbornly refused to die.

Even after performing an assassination move, the enemy simply stood back up and took out Pitcher and his teammates. Naturally, an incensed Pitcher called on developers Infinity Ward to bring down the hammer on the hackers.
Call of Duty League commentator Clint ?Maven? Evans backed Pitcher and is? one of the more outspoken players. Meanwhile, OpTic Gaming Los Angeles general manager Eric ?Muddawg? Sanders became another victim. His hacker racked up 48 kills on his way to a big win in Verdansk.
Admittedly, it?s not easy to verify the source of this issue or identify whether it is the work of hackers or simply a glitch. Regardless, Infinity Ward needs to address this as soon as is feasibly possible.
