In a bid to combat cheating, Call of Duty is taking a bold step by publicly shaming cheaters in real-time. The latest update to CoD: Modern Warfare II and CoD: Warzone season five includes an enhancement to the Ricochet anti-cheat system.
Now, when the Ricochet system identifies and removes a "problem player," the game immediately notifies all participants in the match through the kill feed. This move ensures that every player is aware of the cheater's expulsion from the game, demonstrating that Activision's anti-cheat measures are effective in spotting and eliminating cheaters.
While it's not an entirely novel approach for games to inform players about cheating bans, this update is a welcome addition from Team Ricochet, which has been actively implementing various tactics to counter cheaters and catch suspected hackers. In the past, Call of Duty has disabled enemy visibility and confiscated cheaters' weapons. More recently, the team has employed clones of real players to confront detected and suspected cheaters. These clones act as bait, making it evident when a potential hacker interacts with them.
With this ongoing commitment to thwarting cheaters, Call of Duty aims to create a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for all players, fostering a community that can engage in matches with confidence, knowing that cheating behavior will be swiftly addressed and exposed.
