TheCall of Duty: Warzonecommunity has been battling hackers since the launch of the title. From general game exploits to aimbots and wallhacks, the stream of cheating players seems to never end despite Activision’s actions. Due to the continued issues, theCall of Duty: Warzonecommunity is quickly nearing the end of their patience.
To date, Activision has instituted a reporting system andseveral massive ban waves inCall of Duty: Warzone.Despite this, hackers and cheaters continue to plague the game community in both casual and competitive play. As the problem grows steadily worse, the community continues to fight against the hackers and constantly pushes for further anti-cheat measures from Activision.

Cheating inCall of Duty: Warzonehas recently increased to the point where many content-creators, streamers, and players are threatening to quit the game. In a recent video,Drift0r claimed that he and many other YouTubeWarzonecontent creatorsare planning in “jumping ship” as soon as a better game is launched. The streaming community is also at its wit’s end, which can best be explained with BobbyPoff’s recent meltdown on Twitch.
BobbyPoff’s Meltdown
In a clip fromBobbyPoff’s stream, theCall of Duty: Warzoneplayeris seen getting destroyed by a hacking player. The rifle’s quick flicks show that an aimbot is in use as it can not decide whether to lock onto Bobby or the helicopter. While he initially seems to take the loss with grace, a few seconds later, he bursts into an explosive rant filled with explicit language and a core message.
TheCall of Duty: Warzonestreamervents about how he plays for roughly 15 hours a day and deals with cheaters for most of it. He accuses Activision of being “greedy” and for only fixing problems that affect their profit margin. Among his many insults, he calls for increased anti-cheat measures from Activision and cites their profits as the source of money to get it done. He points out that streamingWarzoneis his way of making a living, and to encounter two groups of hackers in a row within a sanctioned tournament shows the depth of the problem.
Possible Punishment from Activision
BobbyPoff’s best guess as to why they are contacting him is due to his Tweet being “bad PR.” Without the contents of the Tweet, there is no telling what exactly prompted this, but his corresponding video gives a good hint at what may have been said.Call of Duty: Warzoneis pushing many streamers to this exact point, and for fans in the comments, BobbyPoff is saying what many are thinking.

Community Reception
Streamers,professionalCall of Dutyplayers, and general fans of the game are cheering for BobbyPoff on multiple platforms. From many players feeling validated to content creators suggesting that this was a long-time coming, the games community is unifying behind his message for the time being.
FormerCall of Dutypro and dedicated streamer NightwalkerR1H Tweeted that he has been saying the same things for years. While FaZe Swagg found the entire situation hilarious, there are few members of theCall of Duty: Warzoneprofessionals or streamersthat disagree with BobbyPoff’s message, and the community is seeing that.
In the Reddit comments on both posts, fans are calling for everything from an Activision boycott to simply quitting the game in mass. It is quickly becomingevident that Activision needs to actbefore the community takes drastic actions of their own accord. The players, streamers, and content creators are tired of the lack of anti-cheat measures, and many fans resonate with BobbyPoff’s frustration in this matter.
One fact that amazesCall of Duty: Warzonefans is the fact that BobbyPoff is not that big of a streamer. With around 10k subs, he is considered a “small fish” in the overall Twitch community. For Activision to be calling him out, for his frustration to be seen on camera, and for the community to back him shows thatsomething is wrong within theCall of Dutyworld.
