Call of Duty cheaters never stop coming and Activision must continue to work to block and ban them. It is a job that will never end, but at least we can see that it is getting results.
The company has announced that it has banned over 65,000 accounts from Call of Duty Warzone and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 for cheating. This is undoubtedly a huge number that confirms how large the Call of Duty community is and how many people are willing to cheat in order to win.
Activision’s Communication on Call of Duty
On Twitter, Team RICOCHET, which is the anti-cheat team focused on Call of Duty, stated that “The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team has now purged Ranked modes in both Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare III, banning accounts for cheating and boosting.”
“Team RICOCHET has accelerated action against cheat vendors, resulting in over 65,000 account bans across ranked and unranked modes in Warzone and Modern Warfare III this week. The team will continue to monitor and enforce those who cheat or boost across all game modes.”
The problem is of course that many players are ready to create a new account and start cheating again, so sometimes a ban is not a permanent solution. It is no coincidence that Team Ricochet often tries to make the life of cheaters boring so as to push them to stop (for example with the Splat) but even this does not always work.
