Activision has announced a novel approach to combat cheating in Call of Duty: Warzone by introducing a feature that could cut cheaters' parachutes, causing them to crash to the ground in-game. Titled Splat, this measure will only activate for verified cheaters and does not affect players falsely reported. Splat also includes mechanisms to alter cheater's in-game velocity, making cheating practically impossible.

The article touches on the widespread issue of cheating, especially with the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Cheating is prevalent due to the availability of cheap and easily accessible cheat programs. Activision encourages players to use two-factor authentication to enhance security.

To combat cheats, Activision details its use of Ricochet anti-cheat technology, which includes new obfuscation techniques for game code and digital locks to prevent the modification of the Call of Duty executable. As part of the ongoing battle against cheating, the company utilizes machine learning to detect and prevent unfair play.

The release of Modern Warfare 3 follows Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The game won’t be available on Game Pass until 2024, but insights into the game's strategy, including single-player campaigns and loadout guides for multiplayer, are shared for players seeking to enhance their experience.
