Blizzard is gearing up for the release of Black Ops 6, and they have put a strong emphasis on improving the anti-cheat system to ensure a fair gaming experience for all players. The recent false bans in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 have sparked outrage among the gaming community, but Blizzard has taken swift action to address the issue.
In response to the false bans, Blizzard has promised a “progress report” to update players on the improvements being made to the Ricochet anti-cheat system. Just a day after the promise was made, Blizzard delivered with a list of upgrades that will be implemented before the global launch of Black Ops 6 on October 25.
One of the key upgrades to the anti-cheat system is the ability to detect and ban cheaters within the first hour of gameplay. This is a significant improvement from the previous system, where cheaters were able to last up to ten matches before being caught. By collecting data from cheaters on consoles, Blizzard has trained Ricochet to detect bad actors more efficiently and effectively.
Some of the notable upgrades to the anti-cheat system include an updated kernel-level driver, new machine-learning behavioral systems for faster detection, and improved machine-learning detection models to combat aim bots. Additionally, when ranked play launches, continuous examinations will be conducted to ensure that leaderboard placements are accurate.
These upgrades will not only be implemented in Black Ops 6 but also across all Call of Duty titles that use the Ricochet anti-cheat system, including Warzone. By taking these measures, Blizzard aims to create a more secure and fair gaming environment for all players.
As players gear up for the release of Black Ops 6, they can rest assured that Blizzard is taking the necessary steps to combat cheating and ensure a level playing field for everyone. With the upgraded anti-cheat system in place, cheaters will have a much harder time getting away with their unfair advantages, ultimately leading to a more enjoyable gaming experience for all.
