Call of Duty: Vanguard is not even out yet and some cheaters are already spoiling the beta. Call of Duty: Vanguard’s cross-platform beta players are facing the same frustration once again as the beta has been targeted by cheaters in less than 48 hours, which is clearly not ideal.

Cheating and hacking have been a major issue in Call of Duty games to the point that Activision decided to include the improved anti-cheat system in their marketing plans. And it is one of the key features of Vanguard.

Right now, the cross-platform beta is only available to those players who have pre-ordered the game. Call of Duty’s biggest weakness is the lack of a strong anti-cheat system.
