Just recently Activision has announced that more than 500,000 cheaters<\/a> have been banned from Call of Duty: Warzone up to this date.<\/p>\n

And while that does seem like a lot, the popular battle royale title is unfortunately still plagued with cheaters, which is an unavoidable side effect of its huge popularity, as it has been revealed that more than 100M gamers play the game on monthly basis.<\/p>\n

Poor anti-cheat measures and the game’s F2P system mean that everyone can simply make another account for free and start playing again.<\/p>\n

But the cheating issue is not only a problem for regular players and public matches, as the game’s thriving competitive scene is full of almost constant cheating accusations and drama revolving around tournaments with the same question – did that guy cheat or is he simply just a good player?<\/p>\n

The latest case involves Warzone player and streamer AAmerica.<\/p>\n

He has become more prominent following his excellent results at the Twitch Rivals Warzone Doritos Bowl event from January 2021, a tournament overshadowed by another “cheating” drama.<\/a> His trio took second place and he was crowned MVP of the event, winning US$11,000 in total.<\/p>\n

AAmerica’s Twitch<\/a> channel is unavailable at the time of writing, but no info has been shared in regards to reasons for this ban, though it should be noted that the ban came shortly after accusations of cheating started appearing.<\/p>\n
