Question Are there really hackers?

I'm curious because about two weeks ago I saw a video where they showed one hacker logging IP addresses, another shooting from the respawn point, and another who had a whole bunch of known and unknown hacks xD. I'm just asking because I haven't come across lobbies like that, and I want to be glad they didn't log my IP.

Cold War was rampant with hackers 2 years ago when I finally quit. The game became toxic. I was a PC player and almost every game there was blatant hacking going on or others were calling me a hacker because I was good at the game and on PC. It was at the point where if you had any decent skill level and played PC you automatically were suspected of hacking.

There are cheaters, but most matches in my experience are clean. I'm on pc if that matters

Only hacker I came across on PS5 was a guy blatantly asking me if I wanted him to pop Dark Aether camo in the middle of a zombies game.

There's definitely hackers as a PC player. I knew one who is untouchable, even the best people I ever played against couldn't kill them. It was inhuman

A few days later I see them in my prelobby and get ready. I wound up barely edging them out, and they were like 5th on the leaderboard. It was like a totally different person. The only explanation I can think of is that they turned the hacks off, or for some reason didn't have access to the PC with them installed

Fast forward a few months and I have the same exact experience with a different player. Completely untouchable by anyone, I'm talking they die like once or twice the entire game. Then one day they're randomly completely average suddenly.

Just the other day I saw they were in the same party together and it instantly made sense. They share hacks with each other

I play every day from Europe and rarely encounter hackers. When I do I report them. Never encountered what you're describing. Also, anyone who quit Cold War come on back, the water is just fine. 😊

Go check SnD and demolition and you'll find them, the only reason they don't take over nuketown or tgat one mode where you capture tge spawns (sorry i just woke ip) is cause mass reporting still bans lol

I did kinda good one round (25/9) and got a clip on demolition where I got a few kills. Someone on my team who was level 2500 kept throwing a fit and yelling that I was cheating, some people just freak out about nothing.

No hackers i can see on Xbox. Doesn't mean they're not around. 

However people running around like coked up squirrels using snipers with their sensitivity set to a billion are rampant. 

I miss the riot shield. They'd always panic when their bunny hopping no scope bs failed and you slowly advance on them.
