This is how they track or surveillance your game. Activision has a bot in game recoding mics, visuals during active games and lobbies. Pay attention to how these bots show up or move around players. Their AI tracking service needs to be updated and this is how.

Anyone ever have that one person in their lobby that’s divinely protected? Like you can’t aim at them, your aim just rolls off. You shoot right at them but your bullets don’t register, they’re the main person killing you, and at the end of the game they have like 80 kills. And it’s ONLY this one person that you can’t kill. You can tell that they aren’t even good, they just get these weird ass kills on you. After a couple of really good games you run into this person and go double negative to balance your k/d out. I played a lot of mw2 shipment, and i’ve noticed this a lot, and i’ve been saving clips

[@PragmaticBLT]

My attention spiked when he said "demonjuice" because I just reported a player by that name like 5 days ago, because they where walking around like an idiot on rust but beaming people left and right. They got like 50+ kills so I assumed they where cheating. I'm starting to become more qnd more of a believer of thus theory

[@A_New_Reality]

Looks like they used AI to detect the reverse boosting and then reverse SBMMed you, by pairing you with a random higher KD fake profile. Terrifying and breathtaking.

[@vitalityraider650]

OMG! Something similar happened to me as well, however I was playing MWII (PC). It had started when I had started playing call of duty after around a break of around 2 months. I hopped into 1 game, was dominating the lobby in TDM (as I think my SBMM stats got reset) and around half way into the game, some random player with around 8-9 numbers and no alphabets in their name, joined. They were in the enemy team, and that player/bot just started mowing down our team, that too the killcams looked like I was spectating an AI enemy from the campaign mode. They were moving all weird, never sprinting, they would instantly lock-on to our team, and kill them -- it was bizarre. That too, this player would just stare at my teammates and I after they killed us for about a second or two then continue walking towards their next target. The weirdest thing was that when the score was nearly tied towards the end of the game, the account left the game, never to be seen again, and lo and behold, we TIED! Weirdly enough, after the game, this account appeared into my friends list, and I tried to do the exact same thing you were doing -- they weren't getting blocked, I could friend them for some reason , etc. However, this account didn't join my lobby. I logged off instantaneously out of fear. The next day, I logged back in to see that account out of my friends list. It is safe to say that I will not be playing any modern day call of duty because of this glitch/hoax/theory thing. It is truly bizarre. Also, this incident happened about 2 weeks ago and while researching about this encounter I found someone with an identical issue on Reddit that dated back about 6 months ago. If I am not mistaken -- if this is not simply just a misunderstanding or a glitch, they have been testing it out for a while now, and we, the community, have gotten to know about it recently...

I am almost certain that this is happening in MWII as well. I've been playing MWII since about six months after its release and still continue to play it because I refuse to buy MWIII. I just watched one of your recent videos about this "bot" activity in MWIII, and I noticed the very same behavior in MWII. I was playing Prisoner Rescue on DRC Zone or whatever that map is called, and I was telling my friend about your video because we've been seeing this everywhere and could never understand why the players on our team were always so bad. I like to consider my friend and I as decently above average players, but the teammates we get seem like they have never touched a video game in their life. I don't know the name of said "bot" on our team because it's been a few days, but I had JUST finished watching your video and queued up into a game with my friend, and while we were playing, I was telling him about this "theory" and right after I told him, I noticed a bot-like teammate just randomly shot me in the back and as I turn around and look at him, he just stands still. He was a level 53, default skin, base weapon with no attachments, and he's just staring into my soul. I should almost never get someone like this on my team because my friend and I are both pretty sweaty to be honest. I'm also a level 800-something. Anyway, the "teammate" stops moving entirely for a few moments, walks right up to me, and is just staring at me. No mic, no text chat activity, nothing... It's honestly really creepy and concerning that this is happening in both games. The most concerning part is it felt like it was actively listening to me tell my friend about it and acts as almost if it knew what I was saying. Genuinely scary stuff...

[@nickfrankart6958]

Me too, I have that anon person on mw2

[@andrewe.2464]

You probably won’t read this cuz it’s a bit too late, but what if the ‘bot stalking’ is precisely because you tried to add demonjuice to your friends list? What I theorize is that all the bots add themselves to eachother’s friends lists automatically (for the purpose of swapping bots mid match maybe?) and by trying to add a bot to your friends list, the game somehow recognized you as a ‘bot’, and then force added other bot(s) to your friends list. Since it’s not a real person, I don’t think bots require permission to add themselves to your friends list. That’s my conspiracy theory, anyway. Edit: The random numbers for your account is your Steam userID, basically the number you can use to find your steam profile. Never seen it bug out like that before, but I just checked.

[@tigeruntamed6036]

On Xbox that is true you don't need permission to add someone. Not sure on PC and PS doesn't have a follow feature only a friend request one

ever since you started talking about the possible bots I started checking peoples steam profiles from the people I was getting matched with and ALOT of them are new/private/low level steam accounts, just thought it was a little strange.

Private profiles isn't necessarily weird, I have had my steam profile for 8 years and been that day since day 1. Low steam levels usually new players join steam plenty times a day and buy the game. But I do believe bots in the lobbies overall.

Same thing happened to me. I thought someone was trying to session join me in the pregame lobby or the game bugged out and thought I'm supposed to be in a party with somebody. They will join the party and then leave. Also assumed it was someone from my friends list, and then realized I don't have friends in CoD because I want to play by myself.

[@Red-uf4hr]

None of that is weird. I know people who had an account for years and are lvl 2-8. Having a private account isn’t weird because privacy is more a thing. With kids playing more and steam deck and other hand held devices getting so good. That’s why you have newer accounts especially with prices of PCs being more reasonable to build.

No matter how well I played my team still lost every single match I played and I ended up not being able to complete the free weapon challenge by the time it ran out. I was so pissed and it felt like the game was genuinely rigged to prevent me from getting victories. Did anyone else experience this?

Yo BT. I got a weird one far you, if you wanna talk more conspiracies. As a PC player, I use Xbox Game Bar to take game clips, party chat, etc. For some reason, whenever I hit a good clip in MW3 (for example, a quad feed with a sniper or an insane clutch) I can use the shortcut and clip it no problem. The second I start seeing weird damage inconsistencies (it happened a bunch yesterday) like my burst rifle three bursting in the body, then not three bursting directly in the head on another player, among other things of that nature, I couldn’t clip anything. Not once. I have a few strange clips, but whenever it’s blatantly obvious that they nerfed my damage or someone’s hitbox was super wack, I couldn’t clip anything. And it’s not my game bar-it’s literally right after I clip something else. Sounds like a conspiracy but it’s a little funny.

Two games in, I'm playing on a map I'm not too familiar with, but we were playing control. I'm running around the map, and I get headshot. I'm watching the kill cam, and I see I got shot from the back of the map. I'm like, “Uh, Cod shit, I guess.” Now I respawn, and I get clapped by the same guy again. So now I'm annoyed. I'm making it my mission to kill this guy, and each time, I rushed to the particular area where I died recently. I kept dying. For the very last time, I watched the kill-cam where I died. Homie shot me through an entire Building!!!! What's even weirder is not only that he goes negative on his kills-to-death ratio. He barely moved. It's not like camping movements but extremely Stagnant, to say the least. I got on the mic and started to say yeah, he has to be wall-hacking. Another player on my team said, “Yeah, you see this shit too huh?” It's weird man, because I saw AI bots on Fortnite, but that never bothered me. Maybe because it was widely discussed, but ever since I learned about this. It's making me more aware of my team and the opposing team.

[@nautillius]

this one's sanity must have already crumbled.

[@paulstyles5483]

This kept happening to me when loading into zombies and had squad fill turned off and same person I didn’t know (not on friends list) kept joining my lobby.

[@Trigger200284]

I'm telling you man, I've seen it, right at the start of a game, enemy players doing generic bot maneuvers and strafing while facing 1 direction around corners and shit. Also seen people in the back of maps just spinning in circles for minutes on end. I've noticed allot of match swings too where we are up by a fair margin and then it's like the whole other team is rage hacking to not lose the match. It happens all the time and I've been playing multiplayer shooters since like halo 2. I have never seen so many momentum swings and I don't have an explanation for it other than rage hacking or bots?

[@mooreweasel]

I havent noticed anything like that but one think ive noticed is certain players on enemy teams kill me so easily like they're pro players they'll shit on me the whole game but when i check the scoreboard they're 13-29 and im 45-20 but 10 of my deaths came from one guy who isnt able to get a even k/d. My friends in the same game who arent as good as me have no issue killing said player either. He's of no consequence to anyone but myself. Its very strange. Ive also had several instances where aim assist is completely gone. I mean so much so that i honestly feel like its working against me to keep me from being on target. It like i literally cant toggle over an enemy. Ill die, come back to life and restart my streak. Ive also felt like i have been playing against bots. Not so much in mw3 but in warzone 2. Same as before. My worse teams, people who average 2 kills a game, kill a guy easily, enemy looks completely lost. I fight thw same guy and they instantly have crazy movement and aim. Never miss a bullet and track me like no bodies business.

[@Tuffbruvvv]

The SBMM & EBMM are the bots like anon & demonjuice consistently aimbotting you with 348 & 398 damage even when you shoot them first. For the longest time in MWll I thought I was dying to rage hackers all the time, when in fact they’re literal terminators sent to even out the playing field. Try playing Lockdown Quads & tell me those aren’t bots landing on you in gun fights or capping the flags. This game is absolutely being manipulated in more ways than one & it’s downright sickening

[@Tuffbruvvv]

Oh yeah, & the bots will leave before the game ends, will be offline immediately & only have an Activision id with all private information & the inability to add them. SUS AF!

[@bigskater228]

Today I had some random person named “RootWrangler” join my session while I was playing Rust 24/7 he was level 55 and the basic operator skin and he would back out before the game started and when I would get back to the lobby he wasn’t there, but when I would go to start another match he would join again… started really creeping me out so I blocked him. It did removed him from my friends list but I noticed now I also have a random “anon” player with a bunch of numbers after that when I try to block, he stays on my friends list. After this happened every game I got into I was almost even score with everyone’s K/D being like 22-36 or 28-24 or something they were all around the same thing and I had to get off. Idk what’s going on with this game right now but the fact everyone is having these same AI issues is insanely weird. Edit: Forgot to add that after I got back on later almost every game I got into there was one specific player would would be melting me and I would be struggling to get any kills on them, like all the sudden my guns aim would be off or it wasn’t causing as much damage.. meanwhile I could kill other players no problem for the most part. I don’t understand why this would be happening

[@jarodwhite3198]

Dude, totally understandable about your internet privacy, getting hacked or impersonated or some shit like that on the internet is super freaky and it's happened to me more times than I'd like.

[@brandonl.6840]

I just had the ANON player in the terminal 24/7 playlist level 55 with all default calling cards and emblems and such also using a sniper with no attachments with only a couple of kills and then immediately left after the game ended

[@ozzy110]

Btw BT you made a reach over into twitter and some guy a made a article about it, featuring some threads for twitter. It kind of sucks since you don’t have twitter. Your making a impact man.

[@LV_daWEED]

I have a 2.1, and I swear I always have 1 or 2 “players” that go like 4 and 30 and then they disappear right before it ends

[@granthammond6406]

That Percy thing I’d blame cod for, I go to join my friends and it just tosses me in with random people sometimes. Also happened in MW2.

[@narcshark]

I've gotten the ''profile logged out'' error ever since MW2 released. Its happening a lot more in MW3 though, almost every time I play. It's a steam problem not the game

[@jackwatson9997]

I keep having this issue, people I don't know joining my friend list. Yesterday was weird, spectated a kill cam and the guy was moving/aim weird plus shooting before having information on my position, also default skin. Didn't think much of it, thought maybe I'm just looking for them now, then he join my friend list and I could not get rid of him. Further for the rest of my play time he stayed online and according to the game at the main menu except of once. Really weird.

[@ItzVolitick]

About that anon dude..i keep seeing him in my games. From warzone 1 last year. To literally a few weeks ago on MWII..i also see him a few times in other people’s gameplays on youtube. Anon with a bunch of numbers at the end. This is super super weird

[@bluesides8323]

Percy joining and leaving was probably a visual glitch.

[@roseflows6585]

As a player who used to pubstomp 40 bombs in bo2 and 50 bombs in advanced, this ai sbmm shit is really killing any urge for me to play cod again. i just wanna go back to 2012 or 2015 when i could kick ass and take names and the lobby would cheer me on or rage at me telling me im a bloody cunt. this shit dont happen no more. and its slowly getting more and more lonely.

[@mgauslexo9118]

So I just spent 5 matches reverse boosting where I walked, didn't aim down sight and went like 2 and 15 each game. Quite literally bot movement and I was at the bottom of the leaderboard for almost all matches. I then decide okay 5 matches should be enough I'll actually start trying. We lost 74/75 and my K/D was 5 and 20. HOW TF DO I SPEND ALL THAT TIME REVERSE BOOSTING TO GET COMPLETELY DESTROYED AGAIN! I actually cannot stand this game. You'd think with how bad I do with SBMM, they'd treat me as a bot and give me easy lobbies BUT I HAVEN'T HAD A SINGLE EASY LOBBY THE ENTIRE RELEASE OF THIS GAME. This SBMM is much deeper than we'd ever understand and I'd like to put the balls of whoever approved its use into a paper shredder.

[@darkmatter3538]

I uninstalled COD MW 2019 in November 2022 because of the damn bugs and glitches in every update; they took out 5 of the groundwar maps and left us with the 4 shittiest maps. (I ONLY play groundwar) so I got fed up and just said “f*ck it”. I uninstalled it and have officially retired from COD ever since that day. But when you were mentioning the player named “anon”, I suddenly remembered seeing that name pretty frequently in COD 2019. I couldn’t tell you if I recall them acting strange in any way, I played groundwar after all so that’s a lot of players to focus on, but the name definitely stood out for sure. Every so often I would see that name over and over. Who knows how long the developers were testing this creepy shizz out

[@andrewsmith8727]

They need to just prioritize connection. Then lobby balance. I back out of every game that has over 30 ping when in the lobby. It might not sound like a lot but I get in 50ms lobbies and it’s insanely noticeable. Crazy how milliseconds makes it feel worse.

[@danielrodgers2153]

Me and my buddies had two team mates. Who didn't show on our names. But we could hear them die everytime. There names where blue above their heads. The only time we could see their names is going on the scoreboard

[@Lightningdays]

In about 4 years time activision will fall into one of the biggest lawsuits because of this

[@Kiwiappl3]

You already know what it does BT!!!! It adjusts your damage, spawns, hit boxes, connection speed… IT FU+*S WITH EVERYTHING IN GAME!!! IF YOU’RE DOING WELL… NOT FOR LONG!! IF YOU’RE GETTING STOMPED… NOT FOR LONG. IT’S DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU AT A 1 TO 1 K/D.

[@originaldk5436]

Lowkey I am starting to think that it's doing some whacky shit it feels like I am leaving enemies on 1HP a lot more than usual. Might just be insane at this point

[@alexsam3044]

Thanks for the tip about updating the server list after installing it!

[@madd_dogg_155]

This makes me think about turning off crossplay, is it really turned off when you do? Or do they put bots bc I think they do.

[@tasha4400]

They’re not enough players for that so there will be bots still

[@Eyetigerstorm]

Ran into a player named “LUCKI” on rust and it moved like an NPC like the ones on the INVASION mode. I literally stopped and he stopped running at me and stared at me without firing back. I marked him with my ping and someone shoot them . But yeah it was so weird.

[@kvngjames8465]

I have had a random person/bot pop in countless times being that im mainly a solo player i was thinking it was someone from recent games but seeing how it happened to you it happened to me the same way while trying to load any zombies match idk why its zombies but that’s when it happens to me

[@jordanyupyup3120]

They have been testing these bots since mw2 2022, I’ve seen them in infected especially for months now

[@TheLasagnaWoof]

COD Mobile already has bots in it's mp, so there is a precedent. The person joining on you could have been a steam friend who has a different activision name on cod. Check your cod friendlist for any weird names.
