Summary
SomeCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3players are running into cheaters during the ongoing beta period. The beta forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is currently liveon PlayStation consoles, and it’s open to all users on the platform without the need to pre-order the game.
Xbox and PC players who purchaseModern Warfare 3can start playing from October 12, with the beta being available to all users across all platforms from October 14 to 16. Now, it looks like some PlayStation fans are running into cheaters in the beta, even before PC users have a chance to access it.
CharlieIntel has shared a new clip fromCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3that highlights a player using cheats during the beta period. As seen in the video, the player is shot and killed in midair as they are trying to traverse the map, before they even have a chance to engage with the enemy. The killcam inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3reveals that the opponent was using cheats during the match, as they had already locked onto their target through a wall. According to CharlieIntel, these gamers areusing jailbroken PS4sfor this purpose, allowing them to gain an unfair advantage duringModern Warfare 3matches.
Some console players are quick to judge PC opponents for using cheats, and they end up turning off cross play functionality to avoid running into them. However, this isn’t the case in the given scenario, as the beta is only available to PlayStation users at the moment. It’ll be interesting to see how the cheating situation develops in the near future, as more players across different platforms get their hands onModern Warfare 3’s beta.
Cheating is present in most multiplayer games in some form, and theCall of Dutyfranchise is no stranger to this practice. Gamers reported running into cheaters during thebeta phase ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2as well, and it looks like the same trend is continuing with the upcomingModern Warfare 3.
Sleddgehammer Games has already made changes toCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3thanks to the feedback it received during the beta. As an example, one piece of equipment has already beennerfed inModern Warfare 3, as the effectiveness of Battle Rage has been greatly reduced. The development team will likely continue to make changes based on player feedback as more users start playing in the coming days. Hopefully, some adjustments to Ricochet anti-cheat that catch this type of cheating will be one such change.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3launches on November 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
