Several games, including recent classics like Deathloop, have been review-bombed on Steam for poor performance, which players appeared to link to Denuvo. Much has been said of anti-piracy software - like Denuvo - that may also be responsible for negatively affecting the performance of games. That being said, anti-cheat systems can occasionally impact gameplay. Anti-cheat software, whatever it looks like, will hopefully aid developers' crusade. The developers of the Call of Duty games appear to be doing what they can by banning en masse those who can be found cheating. In the meantime, hackers who’ve been caught in Warzone will also be banned from Vanguard, so that should somewhat help the issue. Presumably this will be the anti-cheat system that Activision confirmed, though the tweet's warning tone begs some questions as to what tomorrow will bring. While the message is mostly just a repudiation of cheaters and the effect they have on the games, it also includes the line, “See you tomorrow” - teasing some sort of official announcement. More information on this new system has been sparse, but now the Call of Duty Twitter account has posted a cryptic message promising that news is coming. Related: Activision Cracking Down On Selling Hacked Warzone Accounts A few months back, Activision confirmed a rumored anti-cheat system was in the works for both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard, which will hopefully help this persistent issue. Players do what they can to report those they suspect of (or can confirm are) cheating, and developers try to implement new features or systems to catch cheating before it can ruin any legitimate player’s experience. While some of these hackers find themselves exposed and banned, others manage to slip through the cracks. Hacks take many different forms and in Call of Duty, some cheaters use aimbots to gain a competitive edge. As a result, the Call of Duty franchise has repeatedly publicized its commitment to leveling the playing field.
Vanguard hackers can end matches at the press of a button, and the game isn't even released yet. Those who hack games often seek an unfair advantage in competitive games, and given that Call of Duty is one of the more popular competitive shooter franchises, the series’ games regularly have their share of cheaters. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.Ĭheaters aren't fun, and game developers seem as fed up with them as players - if Call of Duty’s cryptic message to hackers that went out today is any indication. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees.
