Nadeshot has stressed on stream that he’s stepping away from Call of Duty to play other games until Black Ops 6’s anti-cheat mechanics are ‘fixed’. In recent weeks, pro players worldwide have been writhing in agony every time they play Ranked on Black Ops 6, because the mode is inundated with cheaters.
Recently, Team RICOCHET – Activision’s anti-cheat team – admitted that it ‘missed the mark’ with Black Ops 6’s anti-cheat ecosystem, and promised that upgrades are on the way, but they’re several weeks in the distance at least.

Nadeshot is one of many pro players and streamers giving up on Black Ops 6 after a few weeks of dealing with incessant cheating in Ranked Play. He also cited the ongoing network issues and some of the game’s core bugs.
During a recent stream, he explained:
The core mechanics of the game are fun.
I enjoy the movement, I enjoy the gunplay, I enjoy some parts of the foundation of the game, but I can’t play it.
I can’t enjoy it; there’s no integrity. Somebody is cheating or the network sucks or the game is broken.
I don’t enjoy it enough to sit here and play it every day.
For a while, it looked as though Black Ops 6 was serving up a redemption story for the Call of Duty franchise. Now we can see that most players entered a honeymoon period with the title as it was just better than what came before, like last year’s shambolic release in Modern Warfare III.
Despite the game’s core issues being very public, Activision’s teams seem in no hurry to fix them, and some of the baser issues have been present in the Call of Duty ecosystem for years, such as issues with packet burst across almost every game.
