The Black Ops 7 beta barely got started before cheaters showed up. Early access opened yesterday, and within hours, players were sharing clips of hackers ruining matches.
One of the biggest came from NICKMERCS, who ran into cheaters almost immediately. His footage shows just how quickly the beta was compromised. On TikTok and YouTube, a quick search already brings up dozens of examples of players using aimbots.

Black Ops 7 clips everywhere, trust nowhere
The timing isn’t surprising. Beta periods often attract exploiters who want to push the limits before launch. But with Black Ops 7 set to release in just over a month, the sight of cheaters running wild isn’t exactly confidence-building.
It’s not a problem unique to Call of Duty. Every big multiplayer release deals with cheaters. Battlefield 6, which launches next week, will almost certainly face the same. Anti-cheat tech keeps evolving, but so do the people trying to bypass it.


For Call of Duty, the frustration runs deep. Warzone and Ranked modes in past titles have been overrun by hackers, turning competitive play into a mess. Black Ops 6’s Ranked scene became infamous for this exact issue. Now, it looks like Black Ops 7 is walking the same path before it’s even out.
