Activision has made significant strides in combating cheating in its latest title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, during the early access beta phase. According to the official information, the company revealed impressive statistics regarding its anti-cheat measures, showcasing a robust response to the ongoing issue of cheating in online gaming.
Activision's RICOCHET Anti-Cheat System Success
According to Activision, their upgraded RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system has successfully banned 97% of detected cheaters, with nearly all offenders removed within just 30 minutes of entering the beta. This proactive approach has resulted in fewer than 1% of cheating attempts making it into actual matches, highlighting the effectiveness of their new measures.
Technological Advancements and Cheat Network Dismantling
The success of the RICOCHET system is attributed to enhanced TPM 2.0 checks and automated processes designed to swiftly identify and eliminate cheating attempts. In addition to these technological advancements, Activision has also focused on dismantling cheat distribution networks, leading to the closure of over 40 cheat developers and resellers since the launch of Black Ops 6.
Community Response
Despite these achievements, the community's response has been mixed. Some players have voiced concerns that Activision is downplaying the extent of cheating within the franchise, suggesting that the issue may still be more prevalent than the company acknowledges.
