Activision Bans Over 65,000 Accounts in Call of Duty Games

TapTechNews August 4th news, Activision has announced that it has banned more than 65,000 players in Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. These accounts have been permanently banned due to illegal behaviors such as using cheats and power-leveling, involving ranked matches and normal modes.

The Activision anti-cheat team Ricochet said that they have purified the ranked match leaderboards of the two games and banned a large number of accounts that use cheats and power-leveling. The team has also accelerated the crackdown on cheat providers and has banned more than 65,000 accounts this week. They emphasized that they will continuously monitor the gaming environment and take actions against any players who use cheats or power-leveling.

Although the number of banned accounts seems quite a lot, considering the huge player base of Call of Duty, this number may only be the tip of the iceberg. Some players commented that 65,000 accounts don't seem to be many, and the cheat problem in the game is still serious.

It is worth noting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has landed on Xbox GamePass last year, which also means that more players can experience this game. TapTechNews noticed that this is the second Activision Blizzard game to join GamePass after Diablo 4. In addition, this year's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will also land on GamePass on October 24th. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will open the multiplayer mode public test in September, and GamePass subscribers can participate a week in advance.
