Activision recently shared impressive statistics regarding its anti-cheat measures in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. According to the company, 97% of cheaters caught are banned within 30 minutes of being identified, a significant enhancement fueled by its advanced security technologies.

“Cheaters were expected. But our upgraded systems caught them faster than ever… Those who did manage to slip through didn’t last long. Most never made it into a match.”

The technology underlying this rapid response includes the requirement of TPM 2.0 and secure boot features on PCs, both of which aim to bolster security and reduce cheating incidents. These requirements have sparked criticism, especially from Linux users.

Additionally, the Ricochet Anti-Cheat system employs AI technology to help manage cheating occurrences. As stated by Activision, the effectiveness of this system has led to major cheat providers labeling their tools as “unusable”.

For ongoing updates and information regarding performance statistics, players are encouraged to report cheating incidents, as community feedback is crucial in refining the anti-cheat protocols.

Overall, while Activision’s claims are promising, the gaming community remains watchful, hoping for transparent and concrete data moving forward.
