As an avid gamer and passionate fan of the Call of Duty franchise, I am deeply frustrated by the rampant cheating that has plagued the game, particularly on PC platforms. It is disheartening to invest time and effort into honing our skills, only to have our gaming experience ruined by unfair advantages created through cheating.

Cheaters not only ruin the fun for legitimate players but also undermine the integrity of competitive gameplay. It's time for Activision and Infinity Ward to take a stand against this issue by implementing a console-only option for Call of Duty games.

Here are some relevant facts and statistics that highlight the severity of this problem:

1. Widespread Cheating: Numerous reports from players across different platforms indicate that cheating is most prevalent on PC versions of Call of Duty games. The open nature of PCs allows cheaters to exploit vulnerabilities in game code more easily than on consoles.

2. Impact on Player Base: According to a survey conducted by Game Rant, 78% of console players reported encountering cheaters in online matches, with 92% stating it negatively affected their overall gaming experience.

3. Competitive Integrity at Stake: In professional esports tournaments such as the Call of Duty League (CDL), where substantial prize pools are at stake, cheating poses a significant threat to fair competition and undermines the legitimacy and credibility of these events.

4. Developer Efforts Insufficient: While Activision has made efforts to combat cheating through anti-cheat systems like Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), they have proven ineffective in preventing determined cheaters from exploiting loopholes or using undetectable cheats.

By introducing a console-only option for Call Of Duty games, we can create an environment where fair play is prioritized once again. This would involve separating matchmaking queues between consoles (PlayStation and Xbox) and PCs, ensuring that console players can enjoy a cheat-free experience.

Activision and Infinity Ward have the resources and expertise to implement this change, as they have successfully developed cross-platform gameplay features. This petition aims to demonstrate the overwhelming demand for a console-only option, urging them to take immediate action.

Together, let's reclaim the joy of playing Call of Duty without constantly worrying about encountering cheaters. Sign this petition to support the implementation of a console-only option on Call of Duty games!

Thank you for your support in making our gaming experiences fair and enjoyable once again.
