PC Gamers Express Discontent Over Changes in Call of Duty Multiplayer

PC players of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 have been voicing their discontent lately. The latest buzz is about console players soon getting the option to disable crossplay with PC. This development is likely to lower the number of opponents available, potentially leading to longer queue times for PC users.

The main sticking point here is the rampant cheating issue, which seems to plague PC players more than those on consoles. While console gaming isn’t entirely free from cheaters, the problem is notably more severe on PCs. Console gamers have increasingly urged Treyarch, the game’s developer, to let them disengage from PC crossplay entirely. Though Treyarch continually works on its anti-cheat measures, the problem remains stubbornly persistent.

With the arrival of Season 3 of Black Ops 6, there’s an option to engage solely in console crossplay. The player base has had mixed reactions to this update, with some lamenting that it’ll impact wait times, while others criticise Treyarch for what they see as avoiding the root issue—inefficient anti-cheat systems.

The primary worry isn’t just about shrinking the game’s player pool. PC gamers are also concerned that with fewer players, the chances of landing in a match with a cheater might increase if bans aren’t enforced properly. As Season 3 kicks off, many players are watching closely to see how these changes play out and whether casual console players will opt to activate this new feature.

Despite a rocky start to March with delayed content, excitement surrounds the upcoming season, promising new maps and gameplay modes. Fans can look forward to revisiting classics like Firing Range and the Demolition mode, as Black Ops 6 Season 3 became available on April 2.
