What they found was that the game is literally crawling with cheaters and hackers. According to the data they collected, almost every squad had at least one player using some hack or the other. And it was not just for the high-end lobbies or the lower end ones. Also, by the end of circle four, 80% of the remaining squads have a hacker in almost every match.
As for the extent of advantage these cheats grant the player, here is a list (excluding the obvious ones like aimbots and wallhacks):
- whether the player is crouching
- whether the player is using ADS
- the direction the players are facing
- the exact distance from them
- their name
- there is an indicator that lets the hacker know if the player is looking at them

Not to be biased here, but it seems like the devs have been pretty lenient with hackers/cheaters in the game. Well, that is already obvious given the population of cheaters in the game.

With new updates, the game is getting even more interesting. But due to loose anti-cheat policies and measures, a section of players are ruining it for the others. A lot of players had suggested that Infinity Ward should have more strict anti-cheat policies as Valve does. The devs are still trying to fight the issue, but have been missing the mark.
What do you think will help Warzone fight against this “infection”?
