Call of Duty Introduced New Anti Cheating System
To address ongoing cheating issues, Call of Duty developers have introduced a new update for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3. This update includes measures to identify and remove cheaters from Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 matches before they start, reflecting the developers’ commitment to improving gameplay.
Call of Duty Anti Cheat System
Recently, Call of Duty faced significant player criticism due to a rise in cheating reports, which coincided with the release of Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox Game Pass. An issue with Microsoft Store’s identification system caused cheaters using the PC version to appear with an Xbox logo in multiplayer lobbies, aiding them in concealing their cheating activities. In response, Call of Duty implemented an update to the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system to enhance player identification. Additionally, the developer cleared the Ranked Play leaderboards for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, banned over 65,000 accounts for cheating, and pledged to maintain ongoing oversight to ensure fair play.
On August 8, the developers reaffirmed their commitment to addressing cheating by announcing updates to the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system via Twitter. These updates specifically target lobby scraping apps, which allow cheaters to preview lobbies and assess the skill levels of other players before a game starts. The developers have stated that using such apps will result in account penalties and a potential shutdown of the game for users who are caught. They also emphasized that applications tampering with game memory are strictly prohibited and will lead to account enforcement actions.
With the recent anti cheat measures, Call of Duty players hope to see less cheat problems than before. But it’s important to note that cheaters will always find another way to make their cheat in game. Additionally, Call of Duty has recently banned two major cheat providers as part of its ongoing efforts to create a fairer gaming environment for everyone.
