Call of Duty classic video games are back but 'hackers' alert remains

"Call of Duty" franchise has been incredibly popular for the past 20 years, starting with its humble beginnings in 2003 and now encompassing the massive free-to-play battle royale game, Warzone.

Despite its success, there is a problem plaguing the franchise – hackers. The recent spike in player numbers for older Call of Duty games on Xbox, thanks to a multiplayer matchmaking update, has unfortunately led to an increase in hackers as well.

Hackers in Call of Duty games have been a persistent issue for years, and it seems that Activision has yet to find a proper solution. These hackers exploit the game by shooting through walls, having auto-aim, and even being invisible.


While Activision has made improvements to the matchmaking system, hackers are still running rampant, as reported by players on Reddit. One Redditor warned that the older Call of Duty titles are filled with hackers, particularly Black Ops II. Others mentioned encountering hackers in their games, such as players earning killstreak rewards with just one kill or using overpowered weapons.

It's disheartening that even games that are a decade old are still plagued by hackers. While Activision has made strides in improving matchmaking, the issue of hackers remains unresolved.

Players hope that the company will eventually address this problem, but there is skepticism about whether it will happen. For now, fans of the franchise continue to encounter hackers, making it difficult to fully enjoy the multiplayer experience.
