Call of Duty’s Black Ops 6 beta is live now and millions of users are enjoying the fast-paced, hyper-fluid gameplay it offers. It’s admittedly a solid beta with plenty to discover, but it’s not without a few core issues. One of those key concerns is regarding the game’s anti-cheat mechanics, which have run a little wild in recent hours.
While streaming, several pro Call of Duty players, including recent world champion, Anthony “Shotzzy” Cuevas-Castro, have been hit with bans and have been violently booted from the game.
Same Old Issues
This isn’t a new issue for Call of Duty players, unfortunately.

The only saving grace is that they’re temporary bans that can be very easily appealed, but it’s not a good look for Activision when high-profile streamers are banned.
In recent hours, the likes of Cloud9’s KiSMET and OpTic Texas’ Shotzzy have both landed bans from Black Ops 6:
Ironically, the Black Ops 6 beta has already been impacted by rampant cheating. On social media, plenty of clips have surfaced showing hackers having their way with the game, disrupting legitimate players with reckless abandon. It’s hardly encouraging, given that the game will be released in less than two months.
