The deteriorating condition of Call of Duty: Warzone

Over the past few months, players have had to face a lot of troubles because of hackers and cheaters. The developers at Raven Software had implemented ban waves to remove them. However, they always seemed to return quite quickly causing a lot of headaches for both the developers and the genuine players. This caused players to feel worried about the popular Battle Royale title because of the deteriorating quality.

Things continued to become worse before popular streamers and players left the game to play other titles. Games like Fortnite and Apex Legends became quite famous as Warzone continued to struggle with hackers. Many players complained that ban waves weren’t the way to go, and begged with Warzone developers to add an anti-cheat.
