Call of Duty is one of the biggest franchises when it comes to FPS shooters. It is a major part of a lot of esports events and is loved by millions of fans and players globally. But of late, the Call of Duty games are running rampant with cheaters as Activision struggles to fix the issue.
Cheating has always been a part of video games. Beginning with cheat codes in single-player games, cheaters now use mods and hacks to manipulate multi-player games too which leads to major discontent among the players who don’t use devious means.
Nadeshot, aka Matthew Haag, has now released a statement imploring the developers at Activision to remedy the cheating situation and implores them to fix it before going forward with the release of their new titles.
NaDeSHot’s Plea To Call of Duty Developers
The CEO of 100 Thieves, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, released a heartrending statement on X where he can be seen imploring Activision to take necessary steps to ensure proper competition and a cheating-free environment in Call of Duty. With upcoming Call of Duty: Warzone playlists, Activision will want to keep a handle on this matter.

The statement emphasizes the rampant cheating ensuing on Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone servers. While he reiterates that there is nothing wrong with the game in general, his statement echoes the majority of COD players: they are tired of the rampant cheating. There was a pesky error code issue in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 but there is an easy fix for it.
Nadeshot made it very clear that Activision should focus on fixing the ‘glaring issues’ in the games before going forward with the news and marketing of the launch of this year’s title. Whether the developers respond to it positively is still to be seen.
Will Call of Duty Crack Down on Cheating?
A number of times in the past, Activision has shadowbanned and banned players for cheating on the official Call of Duty servers. However, with Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, the cheating allegations never seem to stop. So, after Nadeshot’s plea to the developers, fans are hoping that something will change.

Fan reactions have been scathing following the numerous cheating instances in the game. But with Nadeshot’s comments, fans are hoping that something will change. Apart from Nadeshot’s fame as a pro-COD player, he is also the CEO of 100 Thieves, a gaming and esports entertainment giant. So, fans are hoping against hope that Activision listens to the suggestions given by Matthew Haag.
Whether the cheatings actually stop on the official servers remains to be seen but Nadeshot’s message makes one thing clear: fans are tired of the constant cheating, especially in the ranked servers of MW3 and Warzone.
What do you think Activision should do to stall further cheating? Have you come across any cheaters in the ranked lobbies of Warzone or Modern Warfare 3? Let us know what you think of Nadeshot’s Call of Duty cheating post and what should be expected on the part of the developers.
