BE PREPARED TO HEAR A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM CONFUSED AND ANGRY OPENERS. THE ACTIVISION RIOCHET TEAM HAS UNVEILED SEVERAL NEW WAYS THEY ARE CRACKING DOWN ON OPENERS ON A NEW BLOG, INCLUDING THE LAUNCH OF A PC KERNEL-LEVEL ANTI-CHEAT DRIVER FOR CALL OF DUTY 18: VANGUARD. THIS UPDATE WILL BE USED IN CALL OF DUTY 18: VANGUARD AND CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE AND IS DESIGNED TO CURB CHEATING PLAYERS.
IN THE PAST, ACTIVISION RIOCHET’S TEAM HAS UNVEILED A NUMBER OF IN-GAME MITIGATION TECHNIQUES TO HELP IDENTIFY CHEATERS. NOT ONLY DO THESE TECHNOLOGIES HELP IDENTIFY PLAYER BEHAVIOR BY COLLECTING DATA FROM PLAYERS, BUT THEY ALSO DEPLOY METHODS THAT PREVENT CHEATERS FROM PLAYING THE GAME PROPERLY.
TODAY, THE ACTIVISION RICHET TEAM UNVEILED A NEW TECHNOLOGY KNOWN AS “STEALTH” THAT WILL SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE CHEATER’S GAMING ABILITY.
This technology prevents cheating players from seeing each other’s players in the game world, but the other party can see cheating players. the blog mentions that “characters, bullets, and even voices from normal players are imperceptible to cheaters.”
Activision also recognizes that cheating could have an impact on call of duty 18: vanguard’s global ladder list. in the future, if players who enter the leaderboards in a deceptive way are banned, their rankings on the leaderboards will be removed, which will provide more space for players who play fairly.
Official Chinese blog:
This global release covers all the updates from the time of the decisive moment: the modern warfare domain as well as the vanguard’s new anti-cheat system.
These updates are automatically applied to the modern warfare drivers after a period of time, creating a level playing environment for both games. this is a necessary update to our anti-cheat system to avoid any problems for players.
List
we know that players in the community have discussions about how cheating affects the ranking of players around the world. thanks to our internal testing team, we can confirm that all suspension penalties for cheating players are reflected in the ranking scoreboard. overall, if a player is suspended for cheating, their ranking is removed. damage mitigation focus
We outlined in our previous anti-cheat progress report how #TeamRICOCHET can use in-game mitigation techniques to reduce the impact of cheating players while gathering data useful for identifying cheats. While the team is working on new mitigation and detection techniques, we would like to highlight some of the recently discovered phenomena: stealth.
under the invisibility measure, all players detected cheating will not be able to see other players in the game. sounds from characters, bullets, and even ordinary players are blocked. regular players can still see cheating players (so you’ll see themselves going around in circles) and can still shoot them out as usual. like defensive shields, this new technology will give the average player an advantage.
Suspension updates
We earlier announced on @CallofDuty’s Twitter channel that we would impose a new round of suspension penalties on more than 90,000 accounts. Since then, #TeamRICOCHET已经停用了超过54,000 accounts. While we are unable to publish all suspension information, players must be aware that we deactivate cheating players’ accounts at all times.
of course, we understand that every time we make progress, cheaters will find new countermeasures. therefore, we encourage players to continue to use in-game whistleblowing tools. if you encounter a plug-in player, then report him. this information is very useful for us to combat these behaviors
