Imagine playing Call of Duty and being shadowbanned mid-game, only to find yourself pitted against actual hackers. It’s a scenario that unfolded for ‘Gojirha’, who has a 1.15 KDR and doesn’t cheat. Unable to play the game he paid for, he describes the experience as the most ridiculous thing ever encountered.
Summary
- A sentiment of frustration permeates the discussion, spurred by sudden bans and inconsistent matchmaking.
- User comments highlight the clash between fair players being penalized unfairly and hackers seemingly slipping through the net.
- Despite the negativity, there’s a shared love for the game, which is the reason this ban strikes a nerve.
Unexpected Consequences
Unexpected consequences of additional equipment use, as pointed out by ‘milky650’, provides an interesting insight into potential triggers for game bans. While it’s amusing to detach the extra equipment, it does bring up the issue of whether the game appropriate distinguishes between cheat tools and harmless equipment.
Caught in the Crossfire (?)
‘Tweakyloco’ injects a pinch of satire, pointing out an ironic reality where good players are banned for being better while actual hackers get a free pass, and ‘Tof12345’ suggests not all such instances are treated fairly by some players on the platform.
The Shadowban Experience
‘Ill_Brush7729’ shares a personal narrative of being flagged, shadow-banned, and eventually cleared. Perhaps the light at the end of the shadowban tunnel is simply patience, and a resolution might be a week or two away as ‘Brilliant-Moment430’ suggests.
Although shadowbanning strikes a sensitive chord, it is a testament to Call of Duty’s impact on players—despite the glitches, the stutters, the shadowbans, and the hackers. It’s disappointing, it’s frustrating, but it’s also a stark reminder of how much they care about the game and its fair play. And perhaps, there’s even a spark of humour and camaraderie to be found in shared adversity.
