Activision Has Banned 65,000 COD Cheaters in One Week
Activision’s Team RICOCHET has just confirmed on social media that it has banned 65,000 accounts from Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 for ‘cheating and boosting’. It’s a staggering number that’s fully indicative of the wider problem in the Call of Duty ecosystem, which has long been plagued by nefarious gamers using cheats and hacks to disrupt games – because they’re simply too ass to play normally.
Enforcement Time
Per the post on Twitter, Team RICOCHET, which is the anti-cheat team focused on Call of Duty, has ‘accelerated cheat vendor enforcements, which has subsequently resulted in more than 65,000 accounts being banned in just a few days.
These accounts were caught breaking the rules and using cheats or boosting in both Ranked and non-Ranked modes – which means that the ‘public’ cheaters are being painted with the same brush as the more competitive-focused cheaters in Ranked.
It’s a pretty awful situation all around. Call of Duty has had a consistent issue with cheaters for several years, and it has gotten worse as time has moved on. While Activision is hot on the heels of cheat providers worldwide, it’s a multi-headed hydra – when you chop one off, another one appears. Typically, it’ll be the head you’ve just lopped off boasting a new name and a different look.
This action is appreciated by fans, but the consensus is that Team RICOCHET could be doing so much more.
