Cheating has already become a problem inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warand the game is not even out of beta. As theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warbetaopened up to crossplay for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players, a new problem came with it. Cheaters have begun appearing in the game with everything from wallhacks to aimbots.
WhileCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wardoes have a cheater problemright now, most of the cheat programs are still rather new. They are buggy with killcams showing very strange results of their use. Still, fans have decided that if cheating is a problem they have only one solution.

The console players in theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warbetahave started disabling crossplay in an attempt to dodge cheats. Due to most cheats being built for PC, by turning off cross-play console players have less of a chance of encountering aimbots or wallhacks. The trade-off for this technique means that console players queue into longer lobbies. Still, for many fans, this is fair trade, as they would rather wait for a lobby than deal with hacking players.
This entire incident is very similar to the problems thatCall of Duty: Modern WarfareandWarzonehave had since launch. Both games are still battling their ongoing hacking problems, and with cheaters appearing inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’sopen betafans have some immediate concerns.
Back whenWarzonefirst launched, players implemented the same strategy. Disable crossplay and find refuge from the cheating PC community, at the cost of faster load time. Many fans are hoping thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warcan get a handle on the cheating problem before the game launches.
It is up to the players whether or not to disablecrossplay inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.Many members of theCall of Dutycommunity have been waiting for a long time to play with other platforms, but the benefits may not be worth the downsides.
Fans hope thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wardoes not follow the same ban wave and warning footprints of its predecessors and instead shows more direct results in handling the problem. While there is still no good solution for dealing with hackers, players are left deciding between their friends and cheater-filled lobbies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris set to launch on November 13th for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
