Activision says that people complain about hackers… but they are very bad at identifying them
Sometimes people are just very good and we should accept it

Issues related to hackers in Call of Duty continue to discourage players from participating in Activision’s releases. Although the company has implemented the Ricochet anti-cheat system as a measure to combat this phenomenon, its effectiveness has been put to the test, and many players still express distrust after each match. According to recent reports, more than 60% of reports of cheaters in Call of Duty: Warzone are incorrectly directed at console players, while the real focus of hackers is on the PC platform.
The Call of Duty system is good, but the players are not
Ricochet has been designed to improve hacker detection, but the reality shows that, despite mass bans and system updates, players continue to frequently report unfounded claims. Activision has been surprised to see that such a high number of reports focuses on users of PlayStation and Xbox, when, according to the company’s data, cheating on console is uncommon compared to PC.
The upcoming season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is scheduled to premiere on April 2 and will include a variety of new content. The arrival of new maps such as Firing Range, Barrage, and Nomad is expected, along with the return of the popular map Verdansk to Warzone. There will also be classic game modes like Demolition and Sniper, as well as the return of iconic weapons from Modern Warfare 2019, including the Kilo 141 and CR-56 AMAZ rifles.
Likewise, the update promises an improved killcam, designed to minimize false reports about potential hackers, and the addition of new operators like Huson and Mace. With these additions, Activision aims to restore trust in its player community and provide a more balanced and enjoyable experience.
