Earlier this week, it was discovered that some PC users are using an aimbot to gun down multiple enemies within a matter of seconds, which has led to console users disabling crossplay in order to avoid the cheaters on the other platforms.
“Turning off cross play,” said redditor RoKeOps. “I rather wait long for a lobby than deal with those hacker assclowns who couldn’t cut in a real match without hacking.”
As of this writing, Treyarch hasn’t addressed anything regarding the PC cheaters, but hopefully, they’ll clean things up before the game launches on current-gen consoles next month.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 13, and as of right now, a release date for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions hasn’t been announced.
