Justice served: Cheaters in Call of Duty caught and banned from using equipment
Call of Duty, one of the most popular first-person shooter games, has always attracted a large and dedicated fan base. The recent release of Call of Duty: Warzone, a free-to-play battle royale game mode, has only increased this popularity. Unfortunately, where there is popularity, there are also cheaters.
Cheaters and their tactics
Cheaters in Call of Duty use a variety of tactics to gain an advantage over their opponents. Some use aimbots, software that automatically aims weapons at targets; others use wallhacks, which allow them to see through walls and other obstacles; and still, others use speed hacks, which allow them to move faster than normal. These tactics completely violate the game’s terms of use and spoil the experience for everyone else.
Activision’s response
Fortunately, Call of Duty’s publisher, Activision, is taking these cheaters seriously. Over the past few months, Activision has been actively banning cheaters from the game, and more recently, they have started to lock out those cheaters from being able to use their gaming equipment.
The punishment
These bans not only prevent cheaters from playing the game, but they also prevent them from accessing their gaming equipment. According to Activision, they have banned over 50,000 accounts for cheating in Call of Duty: Warzone so far, and they have also disabled over 100,000 pieces of cheating software.
Why it matters
The cheaters in Call of Duty are not just spoiling the experience for other players; they are also affecting the game’s integrity. Players want a fair and balanced game, and cheaters ruin that. Additionally, the cheating software used by these players can also be used to hack into other systems and cause real-world problems.
Conclusion
It’s great to see Activision taking a hard-line approach to cheaters in Call of Duty. With over 50,000 bans already in place, it’s clear that they’re serious about stopping cheaters from ruining the game. And by disabling the cheaters’ equipment, they are going one step further than most other game publishers. Hopefully, other game publishers will see Activision’s example and take a similar approach to anti-cheating measures.
