Call of Duty Temporarily Removes Attachment Feature Following Exploit

Underbarrel launcher attachments have been disabled in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone due to an exploit that has been causing frustration among users. Recent patches in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 indicate that the development team may be addressing this issue in a timely manner.

On February 23, Call of Duty experienced some issues that affected gameplay, such as players being unable to progress their accounts. Skill-based matchmaking was temporarily turned off, and modes like Zombies and Ranked Play were offline. Fortunately, within 24 hours, these significant problems were resolved, and the game returned to normal. With the emergence of a new issue in Call of Duty, fans are hopeful for a quick resolution similar to the previous one.

In response to a new exploit spreading in Call of Duty, the official CODUpdates Twitter account has temporarily disabled underbarrel launcher attachments. The exploit allows users to fire unlimited, semi-automatic grenades, leading to an increase in popularity among players falling prey to the glitch. Fans are eagerly awaiting a fix as the development team investigates the issue. Call of Duty streamer Fifakill_ shared a video on Twitter showing him being bombarded by an abuser's semi-automatic grenade launcher.

Users would have likely preferred the glitch to be fixed earlier in the month, but any fix is better than none. It seems that the exploit is just an in-game glitch and not a new cheating software, so the recent anti-cheat upgrades from Call of Duty may not be relevant in this case.

Cheating remains a persistent problem in Call of Duty, much like in other popular first-person shooters. Recent updates have made it harder for console players to opt out of crossplay, leading to encounters with PC players who may be using cheats.

Call of Duty has responded to the cheating epidemic by introducing various measures through their anti-cheat system. One such measure is the "Splat" function in Warzone, which triggers when cheats are detected and cuts a cheater's parachute mid-air. Despite these efforts, cheating continues to plague the game and is unlikely to be eradicated anytime soon.

Editor's P/S:

The recent underbarrel launcher exploit in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone highlights the ongoing struggle with glitches and cheating in online gaming. While it's encouraging that the development team is addressing the issue promptly, the prevalence of exploits and cheats remains a frustration for players. The fact that cheaters may have an unfair advantage over console players due to forced crossplay further exacerbates the problem.

Despite the anti-cheat measures implemented by Call of Duty, cheating persists. While the "Splat" function in Warzone is a creative attempt to deter cheaters, it's clear that more needs to be done to combat this issue effectively. Players deserve a fair and enjoyable gaming experience, and it's crucial that developers prioritize addressing cheating and exploits to maintain the integrity of their games.
