A Call of Duty: Warzone hacker was banned live on the CouRage and TimTheTatman stream after streamers tweeted Activision to ban the cheater.
TimTheTatman is no stranger to hackers during its Call of Duty: War Zone streams, which is infinitely frustrating for him, but kind of fun for the audience. The last encounter ended with TimTheTatman and his squad witnessing a War zone hacker being banned in real time, thanks to friends in high positions, something quite unheard of.
TimTheTatman has been targeted by War zone hackers in the past, causing them to steal victories from you. Although one of the latest incidents resulted in the hacker simply hunting Tim and then leaving after killing him and only him, it has been shown that there is a big problem in the War zone community. Apparently not only is it too easy to get into someone else’s lobby, something that probably shouldn’t be allowed, but hackers are so abundant that they are almost expected to see them on live streams.
TimTheTatman and his squadmate Jack “CouRage” Dunlop got tired of a bunch of hackers the other night. Dunlop Tweeted developer Raven Software and Activision (via Right handed) to ban hackers from streaming and his wish was surprisingly granted. This is not the first time Activision has banned War zone hackers, but it may be the fastest and most amazing real-time ban in the history of the game. The squad freaked out when they saw the hacker suddenly disappear from the game, realizing that their prayers had been answered.
Hears @Activision @CuervoSoftware
I think it would be extremely beneficial for someone to watch our live streams and ban cheeky cheaters on the spot.
Currently, there are two cheaters joining our lobbies and ruining our Warzone experience with approximately 150,000 live viewers watching.

Call of Duty: War Zone It has been plagued by hackers since its launch and it only seems to be getting worse, despite Activision’s best efforts. It’s nice to see that some big streamers have the power to request the banhammer, but regular players don’t. There is a report button, but it is not that effective and sometimes reports are completely ignored. It also doesn’t appear that Activision is banning IP addresses, meaning that players can create an entirely new account for the free game and come back to it.
There are many smart War zone Players who can win without cheating, but those who just can’t compete (or just want to spoil the fun of others) have turned the game into a cesspool. Given the dependence on War zone For Activision, it would be smart to continue to actively combat this behavior, but in a more aggressive and permanent way so that players like it TimTheTatman don’t abandon it. As of now, the only consequence is losing some weapons and cosmetics, but if someone is hacking, they probably don’t care or can easily get it all back with a new account.
Call of Duty: War Zone It is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, and PC.
