Crossplay is a popular feature. After all, you can play a game with your friends completely independently of your preferred platform. Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are two of the few titles that support just that. But there is no joy. On the contrary: Many players consciously deactivate the function.
The problem with crossplay in Warzone
They give the reason on Reddit: Cheater. Because on the PC it is much easier to use cheat programs like wallhacks or aimbots than on consoles. And so new posts appear regularly, which explicitly complain about crossplay and demand that the developer should remove it completely until they get the current cheater problem under control.
Every Ground War map right now has at least one of them. In most games there's one on both sides. (Ignore the background I was watching a video) from r / modern warfare
Deactivation as a way out: Playstation 4 players are trying to escape this problem by simply deactivating Crossplay in the options. However, this ensures that the game can hardly find a match. It's even more problematic in the Xbox One version. Because if you turn off crossplay here, you can't even look for a new round. In addition, it is not possible to report players across platforms using the report function. This creates even more frustration.

How bad are the cheaters?
According to the players themselves, cheaters are themselves one of the biggest problems of the shooter. And streamers also complain about it: Nadeshot, who has more than 3.2 million followers on YouTube and 1.2 million on Twitch, describes the game as "unplayable" due to the many swindlers.
The developer Infinity Ward has already commented on the problem. Within the first three weeks, they banished more than 50,000 hackers and terminated one Set of other measures to make life difficult for cheaters. A short time later, on April 13, the announcement followed that they had blocked 70,000 accounts.
