As a long-time Call of Duty fan who has spent countless hours in virtual battlefields over the years, it’s disheartening to see that the cheating problem persists even after all these years. I remember when Ricochet was introduced as a solution to this issue, but it seems like we’ve taken a few steps back instead of moving forward.
Story Highlights
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 recently launched its Ranked Play, which saw an influx of cheaters.
- Team RICOCHET, responsible for the anti-cheat, has released a statement addressing the mass cheating problem.
- The highlights include fixing data outages and making manual and AI detection more aggressive.
In response to the ongoing problem of cheaters, Team RICOCHET – the specialized team from Activision responsible for Call of Duty’s anti-cheat measures – released a statement concerning this matter. This announcement follows the debut of Ranked Play in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, an update that has received significant criticism due to the proliferation of cheating issues, a concern shared by both casual and professional gamers alike.
The team announced they’ve found and resolved an issue with data interruptions that were affecting their anti-cheat functionality, and they’re now concentrating on enhancing the system, particularly in Ranked Play modes. Moreover, they’re giving greater attention to manual and semi-automated review procedures such as Replay Investigations. Although there are additional improvements happening “backstage,” they want players to know that these changes are their main focus.
The Constant Failure Of Ricochet Called Into Question
For weeks, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 had been hinting at the arrival of its Ranked Mode, but players on platforms such as X and Reddit have expressed worry about the rampant cheating issue. The community has even shared videos of professional esports players like Nadeshot encountering hackers in Ranked Play, while numerous others have openly criticized Activision for their insufficient response to this problem.
For decades, Call of Duty has grappled with cheating concerns, and critics argue that its anti-cheat system, Ricochet, is outdated, lagging behind modern anti-cheat systems by a decade. This issue was prevalent even during the beta phase of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 last year. The persistence of this problem, unaddressed over a year later, is disheartening, particularly given that it occurs in the competitive Ranked mode.
In October 2024, Call of Duty: Black Ops VI made its debut as a first-person shooting game, available on PC, current-generation, and last-generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles towards the end of the month. This exciting release was developed by Treyarch and Raven Software – the same teams responsible for past Black Ops and Modern Warfare titles. Activision published this title.
