- Despite the mandatory Secure Boot requirement, Black Ops 7 beta is filled with cheaters.
- We are just a few hours in the beta, and fans are afraid things will get worse later on.
- Activision says it has a great system to detect cheaters, and it’ll remove them.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has taken a similar approach to Battlefield 6, in that both require secure boot to run the game. Unfortunately, just like the latter, it isn’t helping much of the cause either.
Despite the mandatory secure boot requirement, cheaters are flooding into Black Ops 7, making the experience very frustrating for the players. This is happening just a few hours after launch, so things could get worse.
Why it matters: Going through the entire secure boot process is rather annoying, and then having to go through the hassle only to encounter cheaters is very infuriating to the players.
Many users on X have reported that they are running into cheaters just a few hours after the beta launched. They are also worried that as the beta progresses, things will go from bad to worse, hindering the experience.
Just like Activision said before the beta launch, cheaters have invaded Black Ops 7 despite the secure boot feature. which is used to lock out such things. However, people have overridden those causing issues for players.
The studio seems unbothered by the issue, as it states it has the best-in-class detection tools to learn and remove the cheats. So, we can hope that the problem will be ironed out with the full release in November.
For now, things aren’t looking too good for Call of Duty as Black Ops 7 beta kicked off, and the player count was much worse than expected. Especially now, that we compare it to the behemoth player base Battlefield 6 beta had.
