A gamebreaking exploit has reportedly made its way into Activision’s Black Ops Cold War installment and the publisher’s lack of communication regarding this issue has left Call of Duty fans fuming. Apparently, the bug in question gives random people the chance to access a player’s IP, which in turn allows them to purposefully crash a game and “potentially cause other issues.”
According to a post from CoD news aggregator CharlieIntel, “Activision has not addressed this nor have they stated [that] they’re aware of this problem.” With this in mind, it’s recommended that users avoid playing Cold War for now, at least until the system flaw is addressed. Of course, this lax reaction from the publisher does nothing to change their notorious image within the disgruntled community.
One content creator named Hybs even shared an earlier post through Twitter mentioning the Black Ops Cold War exploit in order to bring more attention to the issue. Sadly, it seems they were similarly unsuccessful as Activision is yet to provide a fix at the time of writing.
Ghost Wacke, another YouTube content creator, then went on to mention in another comment that “CoD is not safe anymore.” HunterTV, a streamer that’s previously worked with FazeClan and Adin Ross, also chimed in by saying “there is not a single Call of Duty game from the past 20 years that is playable.” A majority of the other players responding under CharlieIntel’s original thread also shared similar sentiments.
With Activision still yet to provide an update, it’s currently unclear when this gamebreaking exploit is going to be patched. Unfortunately, their infamous track record of not providing timely fixes indicates that fans may have to wait an unnecessarily long time before this gets addressed.
