Team RICOCHET, Activision’s anti-cheat team, announced the enforcement on social media, emphasizing their accelerated efforts against cheat vendors. They stated, “The Ricochet Anti-Cheat team has now purged the Ranked Play leaderboards in both Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, banning accounts for cheating and boosting.” This enforcement led to over 65,000 accounts being banned in just a few days.
Cheating has been a persistent issue in the Call of Duty series, frustrating many legitimate players. The gaming community appreciates these efforts but feels more could be done.
