Call of Duty PC player that doesn't cheat is being “punished” by new console-only cross-games regular multiplayer

With the release of Season 3 of this week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 There has been a significant change in Warzone, and some people in the PC community may be able to hit their docking queue time.

Activision published Season 3 Patch Notes And confirmed the major changes in regular multiplayer games. It separates the multiplayer rankings from the Call of Duty: Warzone Ranking playback settings and adds new multiplayer-only settings for games for fast games, featured and party games.

Each of these three settings (Multiplay Ranking Drama, Call of Duty: Warzone Ranking and Driverless Games) will include the following cross-game options when Season 3 goes live on April 4:

• ON: When playing in the selected playlist, enable a showdown with all gaming platforms.
• On (Console Only): Docking is enabled only with other consoles when playing in the selected playlist.
• Close: Restrict docking to the current gaming platform only in the selected playlist.

Activision warns those who choose (console only) that may experience negative impacts on docking queue time. But Activision directly stated that it will have a negative impact on the docking queue era.

This is a normal multiplayer console-only cross-player game, and some of the summoned PC community shocked. They say console players have the option of doing regular multiplayer docking with PC players, which could mean longer queue times. You will understand why they are worried.

Call of Duty is famous for cheating (it's such a popular shooter and has a free download of battles). Cheating is more common on PCs (Active has confirmed so much recently that If you think you've died unfairly against the console player, then they're more likely to use “Intel Advantages” than cheating). So some console players go straight into Call of Duty settings and turn off cross-games across the board just to ruin their day.

“As a PC player…. I hate this change, but I get it.” redditor exjr_say. “I hope this doesn’t affect the queue time of long-term games, so I won’t be forced to buy games on the PS5 for a good experience.”

“For PC players, it’s awful because it just kills the PC,” Add X/Twitter user @GKeepnClassy. “It's a bad idea because no cheating PC players are being punished right now. It's bullshit.”

“My hall is hardly filled on the PC due to SBMM,” @cbbmack said. “This will make the doubt worse. I guess it's time to plug into the console.”

Some PC players have an angry reaction to the change, saying Activision should do more to make its counterstatement more effective, so there is no driving console player to turn off cross-games in the first place. “Maybe they should fix the anti-verbs instead of isolating the PC player,” Redditor MailConsistent1344 Comments.

As IGN reported Many highly anticipated successes recently. In early March, Phantom Overlay announces closingwith fans incredible that such an important duty cheating provider will fall on the roadside. Just last month IGN reports four shuttered cheating providers By next week Verdansk's highly anticipated return.
But it was an uphill battle and it might not be possible to win. Activision has promised that Activision has improved its anti-swimmer technology with the launch of Season 3, so it's interesting whether PC players feel anything changed, especially with players coming in Vedansk's return Will be taken to Warzone.

But, as many have pointed out, mainstream, super casual Call of Duty audiences may never use these new settings on the console, because they may not know them at all. Most Call of Duty players may not spend a lot of time on patch notes or setting them up. They jump into the nameless multiplayer game, play an hour or two of fun, and then leave. These players may never know a cross-game that uses the console only, or know why it is needed in the first place. As a result, most console players may continue to play Call of Duty: Cross by default as usual.

Here is a point made by Call of Duty YouTuber ThexClusiveace, who reacted to the PC player's attention in the post Social Media.

“I've seen this change in PC players because they're worried that they won't be able to find games in less game modes or the docking will take too long,” ThexClusiveace said.

“It can be clearly seen that the PC player will still dock with Playerbase's largest pool, because most players won't even notice the existence of this setting, so they will stick to the default setting, or even if they realize it, many will choose to keep it.

“If anything, it was the players who decided to justify console crossplay to this would limit their docking pool, but it was the first time mastering option at the bar now, and it was a tradeoff that many of us are happy to make.”

With season 3 almost on Black Ops 6 and Warzone, it's interesting whether these changes will move the needle as Activision's war on cheaters continues.
