Call of Duty Warzone Season 2 arrives today, but some fans don't think one change goes far enough to help combat cheaters in the popular battle royale here's what they want to seeTech10:17, 28 Jan 2025Season 2's quality-of-life improvements could tee up a Verdansk return nicely(Image: Call of Duty)Call of Duty fans will no doubt be itching to download the Season 2 update for Warzone and Black Ops 6 when it arrives later today.The update is expected to focus on improving the core experience for Warzone, but one change, while welcomed by the community, doesn't go far enough.That's because while Activision continues to target cheaters after plenty of complaints, the team has allowed players to turn off cross-play on console so PS5 and Xbox players won't come up against PC players.Here's why that's important, and why there's a catch.By virtue of being a more open platform, it's easier to get cheats running on PC than it is on console. That, combined with the free-to-play nature of Warzone, means that players can create accounts and cheat on PC, then start again if and when they're caught.Letting console players avoid PC players entirely helps anyone playing on PS5 or Xbox have a more level playing field, but it's very much a short-term solution to a long-term problem.The top comment on the Warzone subreddit, see above, for the patch notes is "Turning off 'Crossplay' first thing. So long PC players", but as other comments note, this is only for Ranked mode.That means players not interested in playing sweaty, competitive matches are still stuck with potential cheaters (and that's to say nothing of the advantage a mouse and keyboard have over a controller)."It's for ranked only so guess you better start getting good at that mode," one player joked, while another said it's "so stupid" it's just for ranked.Activision has claimed it bans players hourly, clearing the Warzone Ranked leaderboard regularly, but community sentiment (and trust in the RICHOCHET anti-cheat team) is lower than ever.Article continues belowWith Season 2 focused on improving the core of Warzone before a rumoured return to Verdansk in Season 3, here's hoping the team gets it right.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED
