Modern Warfare 3’s Ranked Play platform debuted midway through January, offering more talented players a challenging ecosystem in which to play. However, it quickly became apparent that the mode had been infested with cheaters – malicious operators looking to disrupt everyone’s fun. By today, the mode is almost unplayable, with hackers sitting around every corner, dominating the top ranks of the leaderboard, and troubling content creators and professional players the world over.
Recently, Nadeshot – the CEO of 100 Thieves and the CDL’s LA Thieves – took to social media to vent his rage at the state of play for MW3’s Ranked Play scene. He wrote up a short essay explaining in clear terms what’s wrong with Ranked Play and what Activision and its teams need to do to fix it. It was a stark glimpse at the impact these issues are having on some of the game’s most recognisable players and personalities.
‘Fix These Glaring Issues’
In his post on social media, Nadeshot was quick to address the fact that ‘RICOCHET is terrible’. He was referring to the anti-cheat software used by Activision to combat hackers – which isn’t all that effective and seems to be getting bypassed much more of late. Here’s a snippet of Nadeshot’s post:
‘RICOCHET is absolutely terrible and regardless of data shared with the community, it’s not working. Ranked MW3 is plagued with cheaters and I don’t even want to know what Resurgence looks like.’
To his credit, Nadeshot offered up some positivity in the post, thanking Activision for bringing back ‘movement’ and introducing some solid gunplay and content-related elements in Modern Warfare 3. But it was a sentiment quickly disposed of with a claim that ‘You guys do so many things right but can’t keep up with all the missteps you take.’ He highlighted that fixing the game’s anti-cheat systems should be Activision’s ‘highest priority’, and the community agrees with him.
Even the best Call of Duty players in the world can’t handle these issues:
‘I love this game and we’re on the right track, but please fix these claring issues before we start getting slammed with news and marketing about this year’s new title launch.’
We already know that Call of Duty 2024 is shaping up to be revealed in the coming months. It has reportedly been in development for years and should be one of the best COD games of late, but it’ll be a sour spot if it launches and the ecosystem’s anti-cheat functions are still not working as intended.
