What Happens When You Report A Hacker In Warzone?

It’s probably safe to say anyone who plays the call if duty franchise is bound to come across cheaters quite often-

This is because the franchise is so popular, that companies selling game hacks are going to focus on the most popular games in order to make the most sales. Makes sense right?

So why does it feel like Activision-blizzard isn’t doing enough to stop them?

When you report somebody for cheating, the report is put into a sort of queue. When multiple people or just yourself spam the report button; the queue gets prioritized.

At this point, the account being accused of cheating is looked at either by bot or by manual review. During this time period the account is often placed into a “soft ban” in which the person playing is matched with others suspected of cheating. After an undetermined amount of time the player is then either banned or set free.

The problem with this system is how many people are set free, and how easily people can buy new accounts to go right back to cheating.
