Season 3 is well underway, with Rebirth Island landing in Warzone and MW3 multiplayer being bolstered by a futuristic sniper and two new 6v6 maps.
Despite forcing a narrative that there are no artificial players planted in public matches across the entire Call of Duty series, a new clip has surfaced and suggests that it might be a hard bot's life after all.
A video has emerged showing one player in a public match against 'bots', who seem to be breaking into a bizarre two-step rhythm to capture Dominance flags.
MW3 bots found doing the Cha Cha Slide
FaZe Clan streamer Luke "Scope" Sharretts was apparently sent the video on Discord and then shared it on Twitter. Here, a player has been sent into a game of Domination against a string of AI-looking players who are all lined up to seemingly Cha-Cha Slide along the objectives.
The player found the other 11 players in his lobby, all lined up at B in Domination, where they would simultaneously trade capture points by all sliding off and on of the flag.
Despite the odd nature of this, players have been finding the phenomenon hilarious, claiming that one party-heavy dev has planted a bug in the bots' headsets. "SLIDE TO THE LEFT, SIDE TO THE RIGHT, CRISS CROSS," joked one fan, while another separate reply added, "RIGHT FOOT LETS STOMP."
MW3 cheaters are the reason bots are dancing
There seems to be some reasonable explanation, and it appears these players aren't 'bots', per se, but are actually real accounts being primed for sale by cheat companies.
"Cheat companies levelling up 12 accounts at once so they can sell them as ready to go for ranked play," one player wrote. "I’m sure it builds some sort of trust score on the account since they gained those levels without cheats. Scary world we’re gaming in," they added.
Still, if you do stumble into these jiggling two-steppers, a mass report before lining up a sick collateral might be in everyone's interest.
