Call of Duty is one of the most popular games in the world. Unfortunately, this means some people will do almost anything to be the best. One of the tactics people use is buying an account that someone has built up. Elite players will get an account fully unlocked and then sell it to another person. Activision is beginning to crack down and released a strong warning to players.

Call of Duty Cracking Down On Cheaters

With the much-anticipated release of Season 3 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone just around the corner, gamers are gearing up. The return of Verdansk has made many fans happy, promising new battlegrounds and updated game modes. However, Activision, the publisher of Call of Duty, is cracking down hard on anyone who threatens the fairness of the game, specifically cheaters and those who engage in account reselling. They posted this message on X. 

“Account reselling is a violation of the Call of Duty terms of use. Any account that has been knowingly sold will be permanently banned. Selling of accounts threatens the integrity of our community and our games.”

In response to these issues, Activision has announced that any Call of Duty account found to be sold will be permanently banned. This is a strong stance, but a necessary one to preserve the game’s community integrity. Imagine investing hours upon hours into your account, only to have it banned due to policy violations. It’s a risk not worth taking.

Deployment Of Ricochet

On top of this, Activision is deploying new anti-cheat technology known as Ricochet, which will be detailed in an upcoming blog. This technology is designed to strengthen defenses against cheating through updated detection models that identify aim-bots and hardware-level cheats, ensuring a level playing field for all.

So, how can you stay on the right side of these regulations? First, protect your gaming account with strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication. This not only secures your account but ensures you alone can access it. Secondly, engage with the community by playing fair. Learn, practice, and improve your skills within the boundaries of fair play.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of achieving victory, knowing it was earned through talent and strategy rather than unfair advantages. As you gear up for the exhilarating new season of Call of Duty, remember to keep these guidelines in mind and enjoy the game as it was meant to be played fairly, with integrity, and with fellow players who respect the same.
