Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3players can’t believe there are cheaters in the PlayStation-only beta already.

The firstModern Warfare 3 open betastarted this weekend just gone and, as reported by @ModernWarzone on Twitter, it seems not even its PlayStation exclusivity could stop players from cheating. According to the tweet below, it didn’t take long for cheaters and hackers to infiltrate the new Call of Duty title - supposedly using “jailbroken and modded PlayStation 4 consoles.”

Understandably, since this is the first time we’ve had the chance to try out the new Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty fans aren’t happy that this is happening so soon. “Imagine how much of an absolute sh**stain you have to be to cheat in a BETA,” the account abovesharesshortly after sharing the original news.

“Jesus… we are doomed,” a different playeradds. “I’ve told people for years, the issue isn’t PC, the issue is assholes. Cheaters will cheat, any way they can,” another Modern Warfare fanpoints out- a statement that a lot of other Twitter users seem to share. “Wait until PC players jump on,” a different playersays.

The next Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 open beta - still just for PlayStation players - is currently taking place until October 10. Beyond this, we’ve then got the crossplay beta which is set to take place on October 12 - 13 and 14 - 16. Here, Xbox and PC players will gain access to the newActivisiontitle and we’ll undoubtedly see even more instances like the example above.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
