I am a PC player. I bought mv 3 before the new year, at first everything was satisfactory, but the last week has been just hell in terms of the game. I immediately noticed that I was thrown into a lobby with only PC players and thought that I could have been banned in limited lobbies. I follow the background information in the gaming sphere and am aware of the latest problems with cod. It is very difficult to play in these lobbies, there is no hit registration, terrible desynchronizations and other garbage. And then your video prompted me to check my account for a ban. My suspicions turned out to be justified. I am in a shadow ban with a limited selection of players. I do not use cheats and have been playing exclusively in the battlefield and cod for more than 12 years and this is my first ban.

I'm not a MW23 player and even just from watching up to 2:11 I can tell that everything someone could point to and try to claim is cheating, is entirely explained by "Rick has good gamesense." He preaims what's obviously a very popular hallway at the start of the match as both teams ran to take it, and gets 3 picks for it. He then has better reactions when a 4th guy comes around the corner, takes cover as soon as what looks like a grenade launcher barely misses him and aims in the direction in it came from to get the pick on the 5th guy in the house.

Nah your using guns that have 0 recoil visually so when killing people with those guns it looks awkward as fuck in the kill cam. The only way to tell if someone is cheating with those guns is the recoil snap in super slow frames and the over/under adjustment needed on a moving player, or catch them walling. That's just how the Ames and Jackal are. The jackal can be a bit more easily spotted beyond its damage fall off, but nah I wouldn't say you're cheating based off this game play here.

I quit BO6 because I am tired of 9 shitty games and one good game that then makes me feel more angry as it shows the manipulation, not that I had a good game or played well. Just like those games where you start out 12-2 14-3 and end the game with a 23-18 mostly due to spawn deaths.

[@PippTheKid]

Looks like a fresh account? fresh accounts have more of a chance to be shadow banned via reports. Reports are the only way to get shadow banned. Its not a "Go play black ops 6" thing witch you probably know. Once the 3-14 days are up wait a couple days before playing and you should be good. PC Players have been experiencing this since mw2019. Wish this was a bigger thing talked about by EVERYONE because its nots fair to innocent players and no one from any studio or activision will talk about it.
