Last week, a cheat software caused a sensation in the network, which could be used independently of the platform and which could have caused immense damage in Call of Duty: Warzone. The operator has now stopped development at Activision's request. Call of Duty: Warzone is making headlines almost every week with the fact that new cheats, glitches, or exploits are coming to light that gives players unfair advantages. Activision is doing its best to prevent such action. In the past week, a cheat software created by a developer called "User101" caused quite a stir. This software was discovered by an anti-cheating group on Twitter and publicly chalked up.

The software is supposed to work independently of the platform and even independently of the shooter and uses machine learning to analyze recorded game scenes in real-time before the input is sent back to the controller. All you need is an additional PC with a capture card.
This is not supposed to be an aimbot or a wallhack in the traditional sense. The software only reacts to the scenes that are recognized on the screen. All the user has to do is aim at the desired location so that the software can do the rest.


Activision took on the problem
Activision was not long in coming and addressed itself directly to the creator "User101". The publisher of Call of Duty: Warzone asked him to stop developing his software. On the associated website there is now only one statement from the developer about the cause:
"Team, this statement is not necessary, but at the request of Activision Publishing, Inc (" Activision "), I will no longer develop or provide access to software that could be used to exploit their games. My intention was never to do anything illegal. At the end of the video that got so much attention on this project, it said “coming soon.” The software was never released.
This type of technology has other supporting benefits, such as: For example, if you pointed a webcam at yourself to control movement, you would no longer have to move your limbs. Unfortunately, I will not develop this technology any further due to the possible negative effects.

As mentioned earlier, the cheater problem in Call of Duty: Warzone is not abating. Only last weekend a provider had publicly offered free test versions of its cheat software. As a result, the servers are said to have been overrun by cheaters.
