Call of Duty: Warzone banned 30,000 people in one day

Hey, gamers! If you’re a fan of Call of Duty: Warzone, you’ll be interested to hear this. The game developers recently announced that they’ve banned a whopping 30,000 accounts in just one day for using cheats. Yeah, you read that right—30,000! This news was reported by PC Gamer on March 16, 2021, citing Activision as their source.

The War Against Cheats in 2021
In 2021 alone, over 100,000 accounts have been banned for cheating in Warzone. The devs have been stepping up their game, especially in February, when they implemented a new software called EngineOwning. This move led to the massive ban wave that saw over 30,000 accounts getting the boot in just 24 hours. Unfortunately, there’s no specific info on which cheats were targeted.

The Ongoing Struggle
Now, here’s the kicker. Despite these bans, players are still facing issues with cheaters who can end matches at will. If you’re active on YouTube or Twitch, you’ve probably seen videos showcasing this annoying exploit. Players have been flooding the developers’ Twitter with complaints about this issue. But here’s a silver lining: if a cheater ends a match prematurely, the victory doesn’t go to them. Instead, the players who were alive at the time of the match’s end are declared the winners.

So, what do you think? Are these bans enough to clean up the Warzone, or is this just the tip of the iceberg? 🤔 Let me know your thoughts!
