According to ActivisionDuring the early access of the Black OPS 7 multiplayer beta, the antitramp system led by the Ricochet team has detected 97 % of the cheats 30 minutes after they started session, and less than 1 % of the players who tried to cheat came to enter a game. Those who managed to play were eliminated in minutes. «These figures reflect the speed and precision of Team Ricochet when keeping the play clean for Call of Duty players,» says the company.
In his message Activision recognizes that the presence of cheats was expected, but argues that the improvement in detection systems allowed them to identify them faster. The company indicates as great security measures the checks of TPM 2.0 and the automated systems. Activision insists that the cheats that managed to dodge Ricochet did not last long and that «most never participated in a game.» Regarding the videos on social networks showing cheats in the beta of Black Ops 7, the editor says that most of those accounts were already suspended before publishing the footage.
Activision states that they are «acting in real time and learning from each attempt», and warns that «this is only the beginning.» The company comments that the day Black Ops 7 is available will display all the protection layers, and adds that the measures against Ricochet's cheats will be increasingly robust. In addition, Activision explains that they not only fight with antitrampa systems within the game, but are also fighting against those who sell traps. «[…] We will pursue them beyond the game. «says the editor. Bungie and Epic Games have also followed this path and obtained results.
Finally, Activision understands that security measures such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot can be «disruptive», but defends that they are tools that help guarantee a safer and more fair experience for all players.
