As Twitch phenom Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel struggled against cheaters during a sponsored stream, top Warzone pro Aydan has called out the “embarrassing” hacking situation in Warzone.
Hacking has long been one of, if not the most, serious issues in Warzone. Despite multiple ban waves and a kernel-level anti-cheat system in place, Activision and Raven Software have struggled to control and eliminate the problem.
While the RICOCHET anti-cheat system appeared to work well at first, hackers have returned to Warzone in droves, with xQc bearing the brunt of it during a sponsored stream.
Aydan was clearly upset, and he chastised the developers for their inability to solve the problem.
xQc did a sponsored stream of Warzone on March 21, a game he rarely plays. He had actually played it the day before but had been bombarded by stream snipers, mocking one NICKMERCS fan who he accused of stream sniping.
Aydan tuned in expecting some light entertainment, but it left him with a sour taste in his mouth.
Aydan clearly wants something done within the game and the anti-cheat to be better implemented, adding that the situation is “very embarrassing” and tagging Raven Software.
xQc played Warzone for a few hours, but was quickly frustrated by the game, and it’s difficult to blame him. Naturally, with Warzone 2 on the horizon, Activision will want to make sure they do even more to combat the hacking problem.
