Anti-Cheat Update Details
The TeamRICOCHET continues its relentless efforts to combat unfair gameplay and expel malicious players from Call of Duty titles. This section provides an overview of the latest anti-cheat measures, including account bans and in-game countermeasures. Find out how gameplay modifications are being used to restrict cheaters and create a fair gaming environment.
The Fight Against Cheating
The use of cheats in games like Call of Duty has become a lucrative business, with evolving technologies behind these practices. Allowing cheaters to play with limitations serves two purposes: gathering valuable data for anti-cheat teams and keeping cheaters occupied and unaware, preventing them from spoiling the experience for legitimate players. Learn how analyzing data collected from players subjected to countermeasures improves the reliability of cheat detection and banning.
Active Countermeasure: Illusions
Introducing Illusions, a powerful new countermeasure against cheaters. Illusions are deceptive in-game characters specifically designed to fool identified cheaters. These fake characters remain invisible to players behaving legitimately and have no impact on their gameplay experience, aiming, progress, or end-of-match statistics. Discover how Illusions disorient cheaters and provide an additional layer of defense against their unfair practices.
Detection Tool: Placement and Interaction
Illusions can be strategically placed anywhere in the game world in relation to suspected cheaters. By positioning decoys near these players, the anti-cheat team can force them to reveal themselves by interacting with the cloned characters. Explore how Illusions generate realistic data that cheaters would typically access through malicious tools, triggering elements like aimbots. Uncover the purpose behind Illusions and their role in combating “non-rage hackers” who gain an unfair advantage through prohibited tools.
Conclusion: With the introduction of Illusions and other advanced anti-cheat measures, Call of Duty is taking a strong stance against cheating and ensuring a level playing field for all gamers. Cheaters face severe penalties, including permanent account bans, in accordance with Activision’s Security and Penalties Policy. Join the fight against cheating and help create a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for everyone in Call of Duty.
