Activision Promises Hourly Sweeps Amid Black Ops 6 Cheat Outcry

Activision is ramping up its efforts to combat cheating in the newly launched Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, particularly in the competitive ranked play mode. The company’s anti-cheat team, Team Ricochet, has announced it is conducting hourly sweeps to remove cheaters from the game, claiming over 19,000 accounts have been banned since ranked play began. However, many players remain skeptical, with high-profile community figures expressing concern over the efficacy of these measures as they continue to encounter the same cheaters. Activision has invested heavily in anti-cheat technology, especially since the rise of cheating during the popularity of Warzone in 2020. The company aims to eliminate cheats quickly, implementing advanced behavioral systems and machine learning to enhance detection and enforcement.
