Fans are not happy with Warzone and Black Ops Cold War
In a Reddit post, the community members had some scathing remarks regarding the state of the franchise. The biggest problem that they currently face has to be the rampant cheating problem in Warzone.
Even after the massive account ban spree that Activision carried out last month, the game is still rife with hackers. The lack of an anti-cheat has fans questioning whether the developers are even thinking about fixing this particular aspect. Along with that, many hackers are even streaming their endeavors without having to worry about the consequences.
Along with that, the infamous skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) has players with varying skill levels playing together.?One community member pointed out that he has had various instances of playing against players with a 13 KDR.?Most of the pro players in the game don’t even have a KDR higher than 6, which clearly implies that these players have to be hackers. This utter lack of fair play has ruined the experience of the community.

Although players expected such an issue at the start of the game’s cycle, they also believed that most of them would get a fix with the next update. Three months later, developers haven’t even addressed most of these issues. These glitches include players becoming invisible, getting thrown off the map, weapon attachments not providing any upgrades, and much more.
