The much-anticipated Modern Warfare 3 beta started last weekend, but it appears that PlayStation exclusivity couldn’t deter cheaters. A tweet from @ModernWarzone reveals that cheaters and hackers swiftly infiltrated the new Call of Duty title, using ‘jailbroken and modded PlayStation 4 consoles.

Call of Duty fans understandably feel disheartened; it’s their first opportunity to experience the new MW3.

One Twitter user voiced their frustration, saying, ‘Imagine cheating in a BETA.’

Another player added, ‘We’re in trouble now,’ and a different Call of Duty enthusiast noted, ‘I’ve always said the issue isn’t with PC players, but with unscrupulous individuals. Cheaters will cheat, no matter what.’

The situation may worsen when PC players join the fray. The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 open beta, was exclusive to PlayStation players until October 10. Following that, a crossplay beta is set for October 12 – 13 and 14 – 16. This will allow Xbox and PC players to join, potentially leading to more such incidents.

For those who can’t participate in the betas, the full release is approaching. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 releases on November 8, 2023, for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Call of Duty has always had its fair share of challenges, with one persistent issue being the presence of hackers in the game. These unscrupulous individuals exploit vulnerabilities, spoiling the experience for genuine players. Hacks range from aimbots, wall hacks, to cheating in competitive matches.

Such disruptions have irked the Call of Duty community, with players often voicing their frustration on forums and social media. The game’s publishers and developers have been working tirelessly to combat this problem, implementing anti-cheat measures and reporting systems. As Call of Duty continues to evolve, the battle against hackers remains a top priority to ensure a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for all.
