Call Of Duty Anti-Cheat Was Falsely Banning Legitimate Players, But All Accounts Have Been Restored
Activision's anti-cheat software, Ricochet, was falsely banning legitimate players, causing a stir in the Call of Duty community as people spoke out about how they were penalized when they did nothing wrong. Activision recently owned up to this, saying only a "small number" of legitimate players were impacted for Modern Warfare III and Warzone, and those who were impacted have had their bans reversed.
So what happened here? Activision said players found a workaround in a Ricochet detection system for Modern Warfare III and Warzone that allowed them to target legitimate players. In essence, people found a way to go after people they wanted to see get banned, even if they did nothing wrong.
All legitimate accounts that were impacted have been restored, Activision said, going on to further note that it will conduct an "examination of our systems" to try to prevent this from happening again.
