Activision is already tightening things up before the launch of Warzone Mobile, issuing a warning in an official Discord server to players who plan to use third-party tools to alter the game. The long-awaited mobile game will be released globally on March 21. With almost 100 million pre-registrations, there are expectations that the game will positively explode when it goes public, taking players back to Verdansk for the first time since 2021.
Don’t Break The Rules
Call of Duty has a huge problem with cheaters, that much is for certain. However, Activision’s latest warnings concern users trying to boost their experience in the upcoming Warzone Mobile title. In the highly anticipated mobile title, there will be no FOV sliders, and every player will have the same degree of visibility regardless of their device.
Recently, a representative of Activision popped up in a Discord server to mention that modifying FOV files (which isn’t all that hard a thing to do) will leave players open to a ban or other enforcement measures. If players are found to be modifying any game files to get ‘any kind of advantage’ over the other players, they’ll face punitive action.
The message was shared on Twitter by Yanrique, one of the world’s most popular Call of Duty Mobile players.
By restricting Warzone Mobile’s FOV, Activision hopes to ensure a more level playing field, but with such a diverse range of devices and ways of playing at hand, it’s already fairly unbalanced from the outset.
