i host myself and can speak for the 'bad modders' personally if someone tells me to stop modding and theyre nice about it, i will stop however the person who was cohost could have payed so in that case i would keep giving him cohost untill his time is up. all im tryna say is that it is highly unlikely for a modder to stop modding and if they refuse there is no point in 'standing your ground' as it will not get you anywhere apart from offline, id reccomend just leaving the game if they refuse and just forgetting about it, there are plenty of lobbies that dont have modders for you to play the game in, also do keep in mind that most modders have the ability to grab ips and hit offline so if one says they are going to hit you off, just leave, staying there will not prove anything and would you rather get called 'scared' for leaving or staying and going off for 1 hour. its xbox, who cares if you get called 'scared'. im not talking shit but just saying 9 times out of 10 modders will win.

yes i do reccomend getting a VPN as it will stop you from getting hit however it wont prevent them from modding

I love going into lobbies and trolling others but not to the extent that I want to derank them, because that's messed up and most people on cod actually play legit and work hard for their levels. I totally agree with you on the bad hackers most of them just abuse all the power they have and have a lack of consideration especially these new gen modders. I get threatened to be booted offline all the time lol but I use a vpn so the jokes on them
