MW3 players demand new solutions against cheaters
The cheating epidemic in MW3 has gotten progressively worse, and players are demanding new ways to combat this frustrating trend.

The situation is such that some fans cannot differentiate whether some players are openly cheating or just good at the game.
After an official update announced that over 23,000 accounts have been banned, MW3 players have taken matters into their own hands to consider additional anti-cheater measures.

While Ricochet is rapidly evolving, many players feel that the cheater issue in MW3 and Warzone is completely out of control.
Let's hope the developers look at this topic again in the coming weeks in order to appease increasingly frustrated players.
