Modern Warfare 2’s anti-cheat takes down 14,000 cheats in one day

Activision has today announced that Call of Duty’s anti-cheat software, Richochet, has managed to ban over 14,000 accounts for cheating in the last day alone on Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone. This news comes after the company’s continued push to hinder cheaters’ experience with the recent Modern Warfare entry and popular Battle Royale mode.

Would like to know the split between pc & consoles. Imagine it's mostly pc but not sure.

Pocahontas634d ago

But but but….. yeah it’s always PC

Rude-ro634d ago

In the last year, usb inputs have become a target through ricochet anti-cheat.
So it can be through console now as well although no data has been released so take what I am saying with a pinch of salt.
Also Sony has been working with an anti cheat company for detecting said device inputs.

Abear21634d ago

Technically both because they run the console through a PC? I don’t know, never once hacked a game unless Game Genie counts lol.

Abear21634d ago

Wow this years COD might be one of the best ever as far as support post release.

purple101634d ago

It was going to be yeh. Till they decided the planned year off and subsequent dlc would be spun into a no doubt rushed mw3.

Abear21634d ago

So is it worth buying on sale because the game will essentially be around another year or should I wait for the “sequel” ??

purple101634d ago

It has already had some free map packs etc. Its still going to be supported.

Just that is was 'going' to be supported for another year of super dlc map packs. They instead, decided to release that planed dlc as mw3. I don't know how they are going to do a good single player portion, as there already on the short side, now with this quick decision cha ye they have even less time than normal.

Saying all this your safe whatever you buy as cod servers always last for years and are always full of people up for a game so your totally safe in that respect.

There's still people playing the 2019 one. Takes mere seconds to find a match

franwex634d ago

Yeah. The support has been there for sure. If you enjoy Warzone 2 I would say that getting MW2 on a sale would be a good buy for you.

Cheaters are pathetic. It’s even worse when they cheat while streaming on Twitch to look good and get paid doing it. I find it hilarious when they accidentally reveal their cheating software running in the background and try to play it off.

psforward634d ago

I knew it! Clearly I only lose due to hackers, my elite skillz reign supreme....actually I suck at COD. My old hands and reflexes can't keep up with those twitchy kids. Glad they're getting the cheaters out though.

Fonsecap634d ago

What's the point of cheating in a mp game? To make people believe your the best but your not? Normally cheats are used to finish hard games...

Majors633d ago

Its for the £££££ £££ They should be jailed for scamming people But they get away with it as Activision supports them

Asplundh633d ago

There's a lot doing it without gaining any money, some just find enjoyment in frustrating others.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Is The Hype Over?

NoobFeed Editor Tao Dawkins writes - Gamers have seen 14 years’ worth of Call of Duty games come and go since the original release of MW2. Fast-forward to 2023, gamers are in a completely different landscape today, and to better understand the evolution of why the shooter genre has transformed in so many ways, we have to focus on a specific point in time when the Call of Duty franchise made its paradigm shift.

In gaming circles MW3 is a failure outside of gaming circles seems to be business as usual yet I believe this one damaged the reputation of cod.

Kotick wanted it out the door for holidays of the stocks dipped that would of hurt his golden parachute pricing and sell off of shares he didn't care about the following years or ms he wanted cash and a out now devs are free to speak without fear of losing their jobs a lot of the truth is filtering out in commentary and we are seeing how much of a see you next Tuesday kotick is including making death threats to devs and disregarding advice

Sciurus_vulgaris481d ago

As you stated, ABK employees have been accusing Kotick of negatively influencing the development of COD MW3 (2023) and Overwatch 2. I recall in 2021/2022 that there were reports that the annual development cycle of CoD was going to be disrupted. MW3 was either not intended for a 2023 release, or it was expected to be an expansion for MW2.

KyRo480d ago

MW3 damaged the reputation of COD? Not the last three games that came before it? CW, VG and MW2 were terrible and WZ2 ruined a lot of of what people liked about WZ. MW3 has fixed nearly every issue that we're problems in the last couple of games and WZ now played a lot more like OG WZ than WZ2. The poor reviews were mainly down to the awful campaign which is justified TBF.

My main gripe with COD are the skins which don't belong in CODs asthetic but it's past the point of no return now.

Ironmike480d ago

I loving cod this yr much better than 2 it just the new thing to hate mw3 it's still sold more than any game this yr

mrcatastropheAF480d ago

MW2 was great from a campaign and MP perspective.

From what I've seen/played, the campaign is all that is lacking in MW3

Notellin480d ago

Call of Duty is similar to McDonald's. The commoners will stop and eat here daily while the educated and contributing members of society will drive on by to the more healthy options with significantly better quality.

Npugz7480d ago

It’s gone to the shitter it’s basically Fortnite now!

itsmebryan480d ago

IIsnt MW3 at the top of the sales charts ?

smolinsk480d ago

It's The campaign and only the campaign that is lacking. All the multiplayer stuff is great in Modern Warfare 3. Alot better then MW 2

chicken_in_the_corn480d ago

It has a better campaign than MWII and Vamguard

smolinsk480d ago

Wow you know you are all alone on that right?
