Activision reported that its anti-cheat system detected 97 percent of cheaters within 30 minutes after the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer beta launched on October 5. The company stated that fewer than 1 percent of cheating attempts reached actual matches, and those accounts were removed within minutes of detection.
Team Ricochet attributed the success to upgraded systems featuring strengthened TPM 2.0 checks and automated detection tools. The anti-cheat division said it has contributed to shutting down more than 40 cheat developers and resellers since Black Ops 6 launched last year.
Some players criticized the kernel-level protection requirements, while others reported seeing cheaters in their matches or being wrongly shadowbanned. Activision acknowledged that security measures like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot checks may feel disruptive, but maintained they ensure fair gameplay for all participants.
The company pledged to continue developing anti-cheat systems and responding to community feedback. Team Ricochet emphasized that fighting cheating remains an industry-wide challenge requiring constant evolution and transparency.
