Halo Infinite is already infested with cheaters, blamed by gamers on PC

It hasn’t been released for over two weeks yet, but Halo Infinite already has a cheating issue as PC gamers manage to break the multiplayer beta.

One of the perks of Halo Infinite’s surprise multiplayer launch last week was that it meant cheaters and hackers were immediately on the back foot, but it seems it didn’t take long for them to get the hang of the game.

Reports of cheaters are becoming more common as the free multiplayer beta continues, which has inevitably led to blaming PC players and calling for cross-play to be turned off.

Since PCs are much easier to hack than a console, this has become a common problem for online shooters, although in most cases publishers have resisted the separation of communities.

Developer 343 Industries promised to add powerful anti-cheat measures to the game when it officially launched on December 8, but their absence now seems to make things very easy for cheaters.

There are plenty of reports online of players having supernaturally good aim, which is still the most common form of cheating, but also breaking through walls.

However, since it’s impossible to prove someone is cheating, there’s not much you can do other than try to report the suspect.

The free multiplayer download is only in beta, but Call Of Duty: Vanguard also suffered from cheats during its beta phase, which was blamed on PC gamers as well.

Cheating has become such a problem for online shooters that it is one of the (many) reasons given for the low sales of Call Of Duty: Vanguard, which is particularly susceptible to cheaters thanks to its popularity and spin- off free Warzone. .

Unfortunately, the only silver bullet is the one used by cheaters, so other than cutting PC gamers out of crossplay, there’s not much nobody can necessarily do about it.
