Lex says Activision must change an outdated Call of Duty engine to prevent online hacking

MrTLexify is a renowned gaming YouTuber who keeps posting multiple videos on COD. Recently he took to his Twitter account to post a clip where he showed how weak Activision’s games have become. Especially, when it comes to maintaining a healthy gameplay experience.

While tagging the Call of Duty publisher, Lex wrote this: “Every Call of Duty you release will become unplayable if you continue to use the CoD 4 engine from 2007. This footage proves how players can boot anyone on any game. It is well beyond time for a new, safer engine.”
