In my personal opinion, I’d love if they stopped making it for free and that you have to buy the latest Call Of Duty to be able to play it.
The amount of cheaters would decrease so much.

The amount of cheaters would not decrease. You’re delusional to even think it would decrease.
They should do it like they do it in Korea with League of Legends, you have an account linked to your national ID, if you lose it, you cannot make another one.
So you wanna give them more money to not do anything about the issue?
Bruh
The game would literally die. Remember blackout?
lol bro get off the net hahaha 😂
Id be so happy, Id have an excelent reason to quit
Make it 70 bucks and if you get banned they ban your IP. forget the key code. This way they can’t make another acct.
I would feel freed.
Quality of the average game would have to increase at this point. It s a decent free game!
I like the idea and I too would pay for a hacker free ranked experience.
However I cant help but think they’d somehow circumvent it. Cracked copies for the hackers.
Meanwhile we pay to get pissed on by hackers.
Blackout wasnt free and it wasnt succesful. This game is worse, so lets keep it free
Much like any free online service I use. If it starts charging for use, then I will no longer use it.
No fuck that, I want WZ to be its own stand-alone game, force-feeding every new cod into it every year is what fucked it into the ground in the first place.
If cheats are undetected now they will be on the paid version as well. They will make them work and will promote them when they are not undetected.
Happy day of my life I wouldn’t even play it
You had players cheating in BO6 ranked, not sure how this solves the actual issue.
It’d end up on gamepass lol.
Black ops 6 ranked has FAR more cheaters than warzone.
Then I wouldn’t play it. Servers, updates, inability to fix/address bugs, anti cheat are all garbage and that won’t change.
I would hope that means less mtx but I highly doubt it.
if WZ was free, and the anticheat stayed the same, it would not affect the POV of hackers. We have seen first hand claims by guys that have been cheating for YEARS. Ricochet has failed and Activision refuses to acknowledge it.
They need to go get a real third party anti cheat.
Escape from Tarkov, GTA Online, Bo6 Ranked are all paid, and all have cheaters. Valorant and Marvel Rivals are both F2P and both have less cheaters. Money isn’t the issue here and making WZ paid would kill the game instantly.
No idea why people keep suggesting band-aid solutions like “crossplay only” and “WZ costing money” when literally they just have to make Ricoshit not be complete trash.
Maybe a private company could offer paid lobbies.
Maybe less cheater
Implementing a phone number registration to the account or an ID could also help deter cheaters.
Only if permanent bans result in license revocation so cheaters have to buy the game again
Yea, being a paid for game did not stop cheaters… dupers etc in Diablo. I don’t see why this would change things for Call of Duty, cheaters will always flock to most popular game…because cheaters are their happiest beating real people even if they are cheating to do it.
It wouldn’t happen. The game makes a lot more money as “free”.
With the amount of bugs, glitches, and half-baked beta fuckery that they currently allow and put into their games, if they charged for warzone (which they already do for the battle pass), I would quit playing.
Some people cheat because they are paid or they are using their cheats for YouTube/Twitch. They would continue to pay for it.
I personally wouldn’t play at all. Why? Facing cheaters sucks and it makes me not want to play at all so I don’t anymore.
Personally if you cheat they need to Ban the Account, The IP and the Mac address of the machine. Make the ban on every single Activision Game as well. The only problem with that thought process is they can Spoof their Mac Address and sometimes IP address change or they might be running behind a VPN.
I don’t think changing the price point is entirely the solution, but they need to really up their game on their anti cheat with something that crawls the machine looking for hacks. They have done this successfully in some cases, but there have been several bans on people who where innocent as well.
If they charge a dollar ,maybe they can track the transaction and persecute whoever using cheats?
I think its to late. Yeah the amount of cheater would decrease but the amount of players would decrase, too.
Would you want it to be a full 60-70$/€ game? I think I would not play it anymore. 10-20 bucks with a better integrated battle pass / free skins? Yeah maybe, but I think the majority would not want that.
I would feel like shit becouse bow I have to pay for gamepass live – core to play it.
Would not change a thing so no thanks. There are cheaters allover Black Ops 6 and I will not be paying for warzone with cheaters regardless.
Cheaters not going away. Look at CSGO
If Activision can’t stop cheating regardless of warzone being free or paid game. Nothing will change.
Micro-transactions make so much money for free to pay games…
It would obviously hurt their sales since WZ is a free to play game with purchasable cosmetics (Like Fortnite), and if it does go to pay to play. Then the entirety of WZ will inevitably get killed off since the majority of people are playing for free.
All I’m gonna say for the cheaters situation most would sell accounts even more often making boosted accounts more apparent like people do it other games your just given them an incentive to do it like they won’t care if they get banned or not as they just sell it and move on
Battlefield 5 never released their version for free, it was attached to purchasing the game and quickly died off well before BFV started losing players
I hope they start charging right before gta6 comes out so everyone moves over
Numerous cheaters in multiplayer. What’s stoping them from cheating? Nothing. They are already paying for cheats. Some are paying a LOT for it. Why would they stop?
No one’s going to play any more. It’d be over with lol
Of course the game stopped being free. In order to keep up with anybody you have to use meta. Which is ironically always only in the battlepass.
Warzone used to be good, but you let Treyarch get in the middle and now it’s awful. BO6 sucks pretty bad and the stench is spreading there.
It’s already on its last leg. Making it paid would kill it faster than they could say Al Mazrah.
This is not the way.
My view would instead be;
A functioning anti-cheat, a more passionate approach from the dev team and the game will be great again. Feeding this company of all more money for the excuse that cheaters to be less frequent is absurd…
