The Warzone community had had enough of cheaters and the sporadic ban waves were far from enough, so for the last few months, Activision and Raven were under tremendous pressure to act and find a solution for the problem.<\/p>\n
A new anti-cheat system<\/a> was promised alongside the announcement of Call of Duty: Vanguard<\/a> in August, and we now have a chance to learn more about it, as Activision has officially revealed Ricochet, the new Call of Duty anti-cheat system.<\/p>\n Activision describes Ricochet as a “multi-faceted approach to combat cheating” which is supported “by a team of dedicated professionals focused on fighting unfair play.”<\/p>\n The Ricochet anti-cheat system will have two layers of protection. One will work on the servers’ side, with numerous new tools which will help automated processes to monitor games and identify cheating, and it will be able to purge cheaters from matches much faster and more efficiently than before. It will also help with the overall account security of players.<\/p>\n The other part of the Ricochet anti-cheat system is a far more important one, but potentially more controversial. Ricochet will include a new PC kernel-level driver, which is developed internally for the Call of Duty franchise, and which will be mandatory to run if you want to play Warzone.<\/p>\nWarzone’s new anti-cheat will have kernel-level protection<\/h2>\n
