Introduction

Recently, players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have observed an uptick in cheating activities within the game. This surge became particularly noticeable after the launch of Season 5 on July 24, which coincided with the game’s availability on Game Pass.

Activision’s Explanation

Activision has acknowledged the issue, stating on the ‘Call of Duty Updates’ X account that an anomaly within its anti-cheat system led to a spike in cheater reports. The company noted,

‘Ricochet Anti-Cheat resolved an issue with a detection system over the weekend, which resulted in a spike in cheater reports.’

Although the details are sparse, this brief explanation indicates that Activision has recently captured a significant number of cheaters.

Cheating Methods and Platforms

The sudden increase in cheating drew much attention, especially related to the newly-released Windows Store and Game Pass versions of Modern Warfare 3. Players observed that some individuals appeared to be playing from Xbox even while using PCs—likely contributing to the cheating issues.

Activision has assured players that their anti-cheat system can accurately identify the platform a player is using, regardless of in-game appearances.

Player Involvement and Anti-Cheat Measures

Activision emphasizes the crucial role of in-game reports in identifying and dealing with cheaters. Players are encouraged to report suspicious activities through in-game tools for further investigation.

‘If you suspect a player in your lobby is cheating, regardless of platform, we recommend you submit a report in-game for further investigation,’ stated Activision.

Conclusion

Cheating remains a contentious issue in the competitive world of first-person shooters, but steps are continually being taken to combat it. Activision’s ongoing efforts and legal victories against cheat makers signify its commitment to maintaining a fair gaming environment for all players.
