Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Call for Removal of Controversial Feature
A large portion of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players call for developer Treyarch Studios to remove one of the game’s most controversial features.
In a post on X, it was confirmed that Treyarch is working on some solutions to fix this ongoing cheating issue in Black Ops 6‘s Ranked Play. It will be undertaking “aggressive targeting of suspicious accounts” while also “accelerating Replay Investigations to review suspicious players.” Although this sounds a little vague, it seems as though more manpower resources will be assigned to take a look at any player marked suspicious in Ranked Play. Many of these cheaters are blatant wallhackers and aimlockers, so upon review, these cases should prove to be pretty open and shut.
Black Ops 6 is Working on Solutions For Ranked Play Cheating Problem
It’s worth remembering that before launch, Activision claimed it wants to ban cheaters from Black Ops 6 within one hour of their first match. However, Ranked Play requires that players must first win 50 matches before they can even take part, yet cheaters are still finding a way in. This could be down to cheaters only using their third-party tools after getting access to Ranked Play, but even then, it doesn’t seem as though players are being banned within one hour at the moment. Hopefully, this plan goes some way to resolving the cheating problem, even if it’s simply the first steps in a longer journey.
Cheating issue aside, there’s plenty for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fans to be excited about in the near future. Season 1 is ongoing, and with it, a stream of content is arriving in the game. December 5 is set to be a huge day for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fans, thanks to the arrival of the new Zombies map, Citadelle Des Morts. Treyarch has done a great job so far of keeping the live-service game fresh, so hopefully it continues at this rate.
