Activision recently conducted a significant ban wave, removing 26,000 malicious players from the Call of Duty community. This action targeted cheaters in MW3 and Warzone, and also included updates to address the ongoing issue. Cheating has become a serious problem impacting various game modes from battle royale to multiplayer.
Recently, it was revealed that some cheats were able to shadowban other players in Call of Duty. With advancements in cheating technology matching efforts to combat it, the battle between players and developers continues.
Updates from Team RICOCHET
Team RICOCHET announced changes to address cheating in Call of Duty. The Season 2 Reloaded update introduced enhanced protections and faster detection of cheats in Ranked Play. Detection of third-party hardware devices like Cronus has also been improved.
Specific cheats have been targeted, with changes made so that vehicles not meant to be airborne may explode randomly, preventing cheaters from using them to gain an unfair advantage in the game.
In a single day, 26,000 cheaters were banned, highlighting the scale of the problem. Despite the ban wave, the issue persists, indicating that more cheaters continue to evade detection and punishment.
Cheating remains prevalent across various games like VALORANT, Battlefield, Rainbow Six, and Fortnite. The challenge of dealing with cheaters persists in modern multiplayer gaming, affecting games like Palworld, which faced issues despite a positive reception.
