Activision Bans Over 100,000 CoD: Warzone Accounts (Again)

More than 100,000 accounts have been banned from Call of Duty: Warzone, according to Activision. The corporation targeted players who had violated the terms of their license on many occasions and encouraged them to utilize cheats and cheat suppliers.

Call of Duty: Warzone accounts have been banned in significant numbers before. Individual faults or repeated infractions resulted in a total of 475,000 accounts being removed from the system, according to a company statement in April. Then there were gamers that cheated by using cheats or false accounts of cheaters that were sold on the black market to other players. More than 50,000 accounts were canceled by the game's publisher for the same reason a month earlier as well.

Activision utilizes their own anti-cheat software to combat cheating software, rather as more well-known anti-cheat utilities such as Easy Anti-Cheat or BattleEye, to combat cheating software. Weekly security upgrades are also released by the developer, which should help to strengthen the in-game reporting methods. For new PC gamers who sign up to play the free battle royale component of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, unapproved software providers will be blocked and two-factor authentication will be activated. Since 2020, the corporation has started putting players who are suspected of cheating in a separate section of the lobby.

The company said that new anti-cheat software for the PC is in the works as well.
