1:47 hi computer science guy here, anti-cheat has always been a cat and mouse game. the reason anti cheats having full access to your computer is considered unsafe is due to it having ring 0 (total control) access. typically when running applications on windows, they run in ring 3 (limited control) so in case one thing crashes, the whole system doesn't go down with it. so if there is a pretty bad bug in that anti-cheat driver it can give an attacker more options. a good example of this happening was the crowdstrike outage that happened a few months back (took out a bunch of airports, hospitals, etc)
Problem is cheats will run at kernel level too though, part of the issue is platform level (e.g. Windows) and not enforcing existing security features (I guess to avoid excluding users with devices without a TPM etc)
As a computer science major, the anti cheat does its job on valorant, but when you mention its active when your outside the game meaning the game isn't running there is the problem, because anti cheats need to look for certain thing is can lead to false bans and also is a privacy risk as well. Which can lead to violations of privacy and laws can be broken
vanguard doesnt to sh!t when the game is not active, all it does is checking updates on startup after this its on standby and waits till the game sends a check if Vanguard is running, if the check is positiv vanguard does what vanguard does, checking the games memory if it detacts mallious intends, like every kernel level anti cheat does. League itself without vanguard had a sniffer build in what leads to an crash when it reads "cheat engine" as an application tap, this could be triggered even by notepad if you type "cheat engine" in it.
there isnt a single anti cheat that exists that is perfect...that technically just not possible if you dont restrict all access to the system itself like a console
Ricochet is ass because its outsourced to an Indian cyber security company through DemonWare actually lmao. Not suprising since corporations do this type of stuff to save a lot of money,resources and to have clean hands during lawsuits after data breaches and shit like that. Even their 2FA system is not in-house developed solution but is using third party apps. Thats why a lot of companies outsource this type of stuff since when shit spills out they can wash their hands off and point fingers and counter lawsuit outsourced company. This is also why Ricochet is so ass and why basically every third party anti cheat is dogshit too. Vanguard was designed and developed in-house by Riot alongside some Chinese cyber sec company and it shows.

If i ever get permanently banned, Activision can expect a full whole sale charge back on every purchase i made in the game. They don't get to ban me AND keep my money.
This is exactly why the player base needs to take a stand. With Ricochet still failing to address the cheating issue and legitimate players being falsely punished, it's clear Activision isn't prioritizing the community. It's time to boycott the next release and stop spending on microtransactions. The only language these companies understand is money so keep your wallet closed instead of lining their pockets. It's the only way to make them listen.
@ChrisDerrick-j5c You're lucky happened to me twice in the previous title and once in this title and each time was a whole week spent in limited matchmaking. The worse part is I've never Two Boxed, VPN, or cheat. I play with the same friends in a squad for 2-3 hours every night. I'll admit we are all not the same skill level so the lobbies are a little more forgiving for me so maybe that's why.
Bungie made multiple law suits against ppl that sold cheats and won, making an law suit against single targets that you just can ban, isnt really "profitable" for an company since lawsuits arent cheap either.
Epic recently started suing repeat offender cheaters, seeing as easy anti cheat is already insanely good they’re trying to put the nail the coffin. Both Activision and Epic make billions, Epic is doing it so Activision should start using those deep pockets, especially since Ricochet is ass is comparison.
@@shadowmaker8402hackers in COD have gotten bold enough to crash servers which is actually a felony. If Activision would step up in the legal department they could make a good example out of them.
They should have never given bots/absolute burgers the chance to spam report. People get falsely shadow banned all because the terrible player got slammed & their first thought was that they were cheating. Flawed anti-cheat holy shit.
@@unknowncomrade5023 Yeah I’ve been playing since chapter two began and I have never seen a cheater. Although I saw that tournaments have a few cheaters.

7:15 That was one of my favorite things about Halo Infinite. You could finish the battle pass on your terms. If you wanted to grind it out in the first week, you are able to do that. If you wanted to take a break from the game for a whole season, you could finish it when you got back. CoD just does this to keep engagement times up for their share holders.
The ranked play problem is crazy Dashy a pro player who played the Top 3 hackers in one lobby and every kill cam was nothing but headshots it was crazy
Can confirm perma bans can be false, got my account back after a hacker stole my account and I was perma banned for two months and then I was un banned after two months of getting stonewalled telling me I was hacking when I was on console
One of my good buddies who we played with literally every night in Verdansk and Rebirth got shadowed after he dropped a 50 kill game . He’s 100% legit I promise lol. Of course we fed him the last 10+ kills but still a great game for him. After his Shadow was up he was in a constant loop. We convinced him to play after a few months and got shadowed in the first game. He stopped playing:(
And i got permsnenyly banned for supoised cheating when ididnt made any cheating, i use cheat engine for single plsyer gamrs, i closed it amd when opening the gamr apparently some was in the kernel, and i didnt hooked to.tje gamr or snything and still got permsnently banned for modifying game files accordong to them lmao, hiring a lawyer cost more than the 200$ i lost of games and skins
The problem with kernel anti-cheat is it sits above user level, it has unrestricted access to the system (the only part with more access is the firmware / uefi / bios). The issue comes if the devs go rogue, decide to collect data outside of the intended purpose (privacy) or something goes wrong with the driver (blue screen for example) or there is a major security vuln an attacker can compromise this. Thor (pirate software) goes over this if your interested in more info.
@ChrisDerrick-j5c I researched it…they say it’s not possible to get your account unbanned once it’s been banned. They say it’s a scam. Times are hard…I’m no streamer who throws around money like that. Just a dad who play games with my kids
Brev how is this possible, I rage hacked once got shadow banned, normally I use soft aim bot, got shadow ban lobby with other rage hackers, so I set my settings to absolute max, dropped 100 kills per game, and was unshadow banned in 4 days 😭😭😭😭😭😭 sorry bo6 is so shit first game I have ever cheated in, I know I am a pig for it am I sorry? Not rly fed up of dying to hackers waste of money this game was
U didn’t link the ban appeal !! But I’m pretty good at the game and it’s getting pretty bad !! Spartakus made a vid with some hacker and the kid said that activation codes these hacks and sells them making millions a month on top of selling ai made skins dropping every week !! Idk if the game will ever be what it used to be watching that video , there gonna lose everyone playing if they don’t fix it soon !! Good video u should make another one like this when u get more info about the situation
The skill based damage is the worst thing ever put into call of duty, it started in Cold War penalizing good players I am surprised regardless of Eula it could and probably will be very financially damaging if ever tested in court
Played someone in ranked multi with ttv in their name. He called me a hacker in the game chat and then when I went to the vod he spam reported me and blocked me , to then see he called me a hacker from the very first gun fight because I pre fired…… like brother I have teammates with coms in ranked. I blame the anti cheat in general because no one can trust anyone anymore. It just makes it the Wild West of hackusations. No one knows what’s real or not anymore.
Note that "hacking" people did was text messaging your account with text that resolves as bytes also found in cheats. Like 10 bytes would do it. It just needed to be timed for when ricochet scanned that part of the memory of the game. Like holy fuck.
Bro I play this on Xbox and have been on shadow ban for at least 12 days my first SB ever and it says I’m limited matchmaking on Campaign 😭like wtf can someone help here
I remember when I was a bit tired of playing the meta, MWIII Warzone during May, I was tired of playing Meta so I decided to pull out the shittiest combo; Akimbo lockwood mk2s and a...a thermite Crossbow. Was continuously killing people with the crossbow from afar, and dominating the prison and--boom. I went to kill someone and found myself shadowbanned and...being absolutely irritated for an entire week in hacker lobbies, just because I wanted to have some fun with a wacky, unusual loadout. What's funny is none of the cheaters I reported were banned. until THREE DAYS IN. THREE DAYS. I haven't gotten shadowbanned since, even if I used similar loadouts lately, but that was possibly the most frustrating 1 week because I was still doing my camo grind if I remember correctly. They just need to can this useless anti-cheat if it can ban a extremely slightly average player like me. EDIT: Also yeah, they should do it either like Halo Infinite(past passes) or Marvel Rivals. Stupid that they have a timer.
I'm boycotting any CoD that comes out in the future, and only buying if the zombies is worth a shit (only after a year of the game being out, no sooner). Literally no reason to waste $70-$100 on a game I don't enjoy
Ricochet or not, it's time for Activison to stepping on. Welp. CODM (VNG servers in praticularly) at one point was swarm-attacked by hackers. It goes so fcked up, like, in 1000 matches, around 481 matches have hackers. It was so notorious that the Server Moderators make a big step up and make a Discord Server (still multi-purpose), use it for "mass-real-report", by directly tagging Mod and give them "legitmate" clips, just around 6 months, hackers got almost swept away. Instead of ingame news, the direct contact was made in servers, really effective tbh. A major step up for a cleaner experience. I know this ain't help, but it's time for Activison to make some real shjt coming.
as in essence to say activision don't want to ban cheaters, because they are profitable for them for online instead of playing normally and not to rub such people even if you gave a complaint you will not get a response because you are ignored and this means that cheaters are profitable for them
I have personally been shadow banned 12 times I know it sound fake but it’s across 2022-2024 but the problem is I am not good I am not bad but it’s a big problem it’s just annoying that I see a cheater in my lobby i report and then I am shadow banned
Shadowbans has always been 120 hrs, if it goes higher then that. Then there is something happening Console players are 99.9999% safe from the false report system. I have both a console and a pc and when I feel like a shadow might come or I decide I want to play rank I legit pull out my console play on that, sad I can’t use the nice pc 😢
Every match i play on black ops 6, i get disconnected with the msg you have been temporarily banned from call of duty black ops 6 servers, then i proceed to the ban appeal activision page and there is no BANS active, everything is fine, yet when i open the game and play a match or 2 this happens again, does anyone know what's going on?
Just do what I do: After every death you suffer within Warzone/Multiplayer just report the player that killed you without hesitation or even attempting to confirm whether or not the player is cheating. Trust no Cod player. They're all guilty 😊 Eventually 100% of the player base will suffer from the depths of Shadow Ban Realm Purgatory and quit playing this Godforsaken game. The developers/Publisher do not deserve your play time nor your money.😊
Can someone tell me why Activision would invest in a functional anti cheat? It doesnt make sense to me when people will continue to buy the game along with the skins REGARDLESS. If Activision made a great game with good servers and a solid anti cheat they’d be throwing money in the toilet. They can easily give us the bare minimum and people will still spend their hearts out.
I got a perma false ban after 5 days of gameplay, I submitted my windows logs and process hacker logs in their entirety... And they said no, bans are considered final. Wouldn't even let me prove I'm not cheating. Activision support is a fucking joke
Soon got falsely perms banned for no reason and I wasn’t even on the game and they sent me an email saying I was usiing unauthorized software and was manipulating game data and mind you this I don’t even hack or cheat on it and when I appealed it they denied and idk what to do about this situation now
you dont need to be carnal level to detect cheats ...its like setting your house on fire so no one robs you ...the risk is worse then reword to the customer
i dont know if im right or wrong about this, but is this a gamepass issue? where you can get this game for free (not really, you have to sub GP for month) then install cheat software that can destroy Ricochet anti cheat?, then make another account again, sub GP, use cheat software again, ruin other players....
Warzone is the worst thing to happen to Call of Duty, shit killed the franchise from a moral standpoint, and a game standpoint. Multiplayer is the worst it has ever been because of Warzone, Zombies is the worst it has ever been because of Warzone, and campaign is the worst it has ever been because of Warzone.. Warzone needs to be shut down and removed from existence or completely separated as its own entity and not linked to the main games at all, it should be treated like its own thing, like Cod Mobile is. We need the 3 dev studios to make their OWN games, use different engines, that is why ricochet sucks, cause it's on the same engine with the same code so it's copy pasted every year so cheats are subjectively copy pasted game to game, this whole franchise is a joke now it's embarrassing.
my experience with ricochet was when I asked my friend to play for me. This was right around the time when they made using VPNs as a bannable offense and my friend is in russia where everything he uses (youtube, discord, twitter and so on) is banned and he is forced to use a VPN, safe to say I got shadow banned for about 2-3 weeks, spent those weeks just playing zombies.
You lying been using vpn since wz2 hahaha never been shadow banned or anything? Even since there comments on vpn. They have only stopped you searching on high ping that is it lmao most cod VPNs keep you on low ping anyway like bro what u talking about
If your friend played on your account in Russia he would be on normal ping even with a vpn XD wtf are u on about that’s no different than you travelling and playing somewhere else how is that sharing an account in there eyes?
@ HAHAHAH I’ve hit iridescent every season on wz3 also have 4.3kd on new Warzone come again? 😂 drop your activison and let’s run it and see who the bot is ya cringe
Ricochet has the same issues as every other Anti Cheat, nothing new. Anti Cheats can not fix any cheater situation, all what an anti cheat can do is provent to make cheats easily available, we all saw what happend with GTA Online on PC, now its actually playable after they added Battleye, before it you found 10 cheaters in 1 Lobby, now its like every 10 lobby 1 cheater. The main issue is more players that can not take an L and call everyone a cheater, i bet there are more players calling some1 a cheater than there are actually cheaters
It's in EVERY SINGLE MODE. I play pretty tactically so I usually have a decent KD. 1.88-2.5kd because I don't run around like a madman and make sure to at least get a few kills before I move positions. I'm constantly put into insane lobbies with rushers running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Also, these lobbies are full of cheaters. Regular MP lobbies and I can't get a single match without wall hackers and aim botters. It's just bad all around especially if you have a "higher than average" KD. I only have a high KD because I micro camp. Basically just hold lanes and switch lanes after a few kills and then do it all over again. I'll usually go 30+ kills with only a few deaths per game.
@ I play on PS5 with crossplay off and ever since I turned off crossplay about 6 weeks ago, I haven’t seen cheating at all. I only play MP and zombies, so I can’t speak for WZ, but I’ve heard the same from other console cats who play with CP off…
Here's my take on the COD ricochet anti cheat (mind you I came back from years break since AW) I've played multiple titles with different anti cheats but I will say this Some anti cheats use some coding algorithm using AI to ban people, there are some innocent bans that come with that BUT most bans are more than likely, cheaters getting flagged and banned In terms of valorants anti cheat, that's a whole another rabit hole and goes deeper than you think BUT it works as intended Ricochet was at best a subpar anti cheat and with their processes to bans and appeals. It's weird how this game as a whole is easier to get shadowbanned/limited matchmaking, I had an instance where I've been shadowbanned in MW3 (2023) and tbh I don't blame the community to label anyone a cheater BUT nowadays in COD, the majority of the community doesn't know how to distinguish what's a hack/cheat to an above average player
Not to mention if developers have a statement regarding anti cheat, any cheating developers can and will try to compromise that, which is why you don't hear much about anti cheat development, usually you'd have to go to the publisher/company job hiring website to get some clarity of what they actually hire and sometimes (rare cases) you'll get some clarity
I hate ricochet mostly because it wants to study the cheaters and then ban them the theories that it will be a perfect system but it's not. It should just ban them I don't like them doing research for a year and then banning a bunch of people. Your player base is gone because you're not doing anything
''should an anticheat monitor your computer even when the game is off ?'' no, it shouldnt, your computer isnt an infinite power source, anything running on it uses its ressources, including said anticheat, so if 20 different game all use 20 different anticheat, monitoring 20 different software and such, its gonna weight its toll. an anticheat is also limited by the ammount of software it needs to keep an eye out, something completely unrelated to a cheating software can be flagged as one, and such, a cheating software can avoid the anticheat. this whole video is a passive aggressive rant about the report system (wich has fair point) and the anticheat from someone that has little to no idea how a software or an anticheat works
Ok ima use this as an example a anti virus like northon what they do is they scan your device your files everything to check for viruses in your devices yet they dont get attack because they do the same thing that the valorant anti cheat does
I was and still in a perm ban like bobbyoff I always thought It was stupid since I was asleep while it happened idek what to do cause it had Orion and was almost done with interstellar since it was like middle of may is there anything I can do or is the damage already done? Edit: is there anyway I can get the account back it’s really awkward to switch accounts anytime I want to play cod like contacting activision or is it not possible
Think i've had enough of cheaters in every lobby i'm in. I try to play on without saying anything (Because why speak up if nothing will happen?) I will admit, i'm not amazing. I have a job so i can't grind out like some sweats do, however i'm always in sweaty lobbies with (Judging from their skin) top 250 ranked players and below. It doesn't work and i think it's hilarious you can cheat using something as basic as Cheat Engine to manipulate it. Let's be real, it doesn't work. Or it doesn't exist. It has either never worked or never existed.
@ I used to play apex and I think I might switch back. I love cod but really they aren’t gonna do anything till szn 2. Unreal. The hacking problem is annoying and really demotivating to play the game
If you guys want your cod to be fixed STOP SPEND YOUR MONEY. You spending your money on this pile of dog shit and it’s skin packs shows Activision that THIS IS OKAY
i buy into what blametruth says about richochet. i think it's to monitor players but for more sinister reasons than to ban players cheating. seriously, give me one other legitimate reason how it's gotten worse other than the programmers being so grossly incompetent they shouldn't be working with technology
You forgot to mention there has been a bad hacker problem in mw3 so how can activision let it get this bad do they just don't care anymore and are trying to push away real cod fans and sell childish bundles to kids?
as good as pc is, 240hz and whatever other benefits are not worth dealing with this shit. ima hide on xbox until the day cheating is gone for good (probably forever)
One day I was like all right I can’t wait to play call of duty I login and it says I’ve been banned and then I’m like why so I go on the website and it says I was cheating and I’m like I’ve never cheated and then I made a whole Xbox account just to play call of duty and then I get my account back Bruh😂
And the best part spam reporting has shadowbanned more legit players than actual cheaters
I don't even bother reporting anymore, if I report someone, next game is just a complete shadow ban lobby

The ranked play problem is crazy Dashy a pro player who played the Top 3 hackers in one lobby and every kill cam was nothing but headshots it was crazy
Can confirm perma bans can be false, got my account back after a hacker stole my account and I was perma banned for two months and then I was un banned after two months of getting stonewalled telling me I was hacking when I was on console
About 2 weeks ago I got shadow banned after one game of prop hunt. I was faded and didn’t even have a kill lol
One of my good buddies who we played with literally every night in Verdansk and Rebirth got shadowed after he dropped a 50 kill game . He’s 100% legit I promise lol. Of course we fed him the last 10+ kills but still a great game for him. After his Shadow was up he was in a constant loop. We convinced him to play after a few months and got shadowed in the first game. He stopped playing:(
Next thing on stuff that never happened
@@Greebz7 Why would I lie? lol In the end it doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. Just sharing an experience
And i got permsnenyly banned for supoised cheating when ididnt made any cheating, i use cheat engine for single plsyer gamrs, i closed it amd when opening the gamr apparently some was in the kernel, and i didnt hooked to.tje gamr or snything and still got permsnently banned for modifying game files accordong to them lmao, hiring a lawyer cost more than the 200$ i lost of games and skins
It's hilarious still seeing people crying about a game that's been shit for years and yet still buy the game and DLC.
They’re good piggies eating up all the slop Activision provides
The problem with kernel anti-cheat is it sits above user level, it has unrestricted access to the system (the only part with more access is the firmware / uefi / bios).
The issue comes if the devs go rogue, decide to collect data outside of the intended purpose (privacy) or something goes wrong with the driver (blue screen for example) or there is a major security vuln an attacker can compromise this.
Thor (pirate software) goes over this if your interested in more info.
Been in the loop for 3 years now it’s fucking trash
IM TIRED OF BEING SHADOW BANNED…ILL PUT ANY SOFTWARE ANTICHEAT ON MY PC TO SHOW IM NOT CHEATING!!!
@ChrisDerrick-j5c I researched it…they say it’s not possible to get your account unbanned once it’s been banned. They say it’s a scam. Times are hard…I’m no streamer who throws around money like that. Just a dad who play games with my kids
Shadowbans effect zombies too
Brev how is this possible, I rage hacked once got shadow banned, normally I use soft aim bot, got shadow ban lobby with other rage hackers, so I set my settings to absolute max, dropped 100 kills per game, and was unshadow banned in 4 days 😭😭😭😭😭😭 sorry bo6 is so shit first game I have ever cheated in, I know I am a pig for it am I sorry? Not rly fed up of dying to hackers waste of money this game was
U didn’t link the ban appeal !! But I’m pretty good at the game and it’s getting pretty bad !! Spartakus made a vid with some hacker and the kid said that activation codes these hacks and sells them making millions a month on top of selling ai made skins dropping every week !! Idk if the game will ever be what it used to be watching that video , there gonna lose everyone playing if they don’t fix it soon !! Good video u should make another one like this when u get more info about the situation
Great video man
yeah shadow bans are why i quit this shit game been 3 months never been happier
The skill based damage is the worst thing ever put into call of duty, it started in Cold War penalizing good players I am surprised regardless of Eula it could and probably will be very financially damaging if ever tested in court
Played someone in ranked multi with ttv in their name. He called me a hacker in the game chat and then when I went to the vod he spam reported me and blocked me , to then see he called me a hacker from the very first gun fight because I pre fired…… like brother I have teammates with coms in ranked. I blame the anti cheat in general because no one can trust anyone anymore. It just makes it the Wild West of hackusations. No one knows what’s real or not anymore.
I couldn’t even play plunder without running into a cheater
i got sb in zombie man ... for 13 days and got again without even playing.. now im on loop
I got my first shadowban in October in warzone when killed a team and they spam reported me for 8 minutes straight actual low life's
Note that "hacking" people did was text messaging your account with text that resolves as bytes also found in cheats. Like 10 bytes would do it. It just needed to be timed for when ricochet scanned that part of the memory of the game. Like holy fuck.
The amount of players in plat upwards abusing cronus on console is outrageous.
great video 😊
Bro I play this on Xbox and have been on shadow ban for at least 12 days my first SB ever and it says I’m limited matchmaking on Campaign 😭like wtf can someone help here
@ChrisDerrick-j5c scam ?!
I remember when I was a bit tired of playing the meta, MWIII Warzone during May, I was tired of playing Meta so I decided to pull out the shittiest combo; Akimbo lockwood mk2s and a...a thermite Crossbow. Was continuously killing people with the crossbow from afar, and dominating the prison and--boom. I went to kill someone and found myself shadowbanned and...being absolutely irritated for an entire week in hacker lobbies, just because I wanted to have some fun with a wacky, unusual loadout. What's funny is none of the cheaters I reported were banned. until THREE DAYS IN. THREE DAYS.
I haven't gotten shadowbanned since, even if I used similar loadouts lately, but that was possibly the most frustrating 1 week because I was still doing my camo grind if I remember correctly. They just need to can this useless anti-cheat if it can ban a extremely slightly average player like me.
EDIT: Also yeah, they should do it either like Halo Infinite(past passes) or Marvel Rivals. Stupid that they have a timer.
Never noticed the amazing albums you got displayed in the back.
@@YooosheerWZ yessir!!!
I was playing Ranked BR earlier (rank C2) and got hacked on 4 games in a row. Aimbots, walls, server crashers, everything. It's literally unplayable
I'm boycotting any CoD that comes out in the future, and only buying if the zombies is worth a shit (only after a year of the game being out, no sooner). Literally no reason to waste $70-$100 on a game I don't enjoy
"I'm boycotting!"
"I'm buying the new one if the zombies is good!"
Boycott mission: Failed 😂😂
At 7:15, if this does happen to anyone, zombies is a great way to get battle pass xp.
The problem is cheaters are almost always 4 freaking steps ahead
Activision try to minimize the budget as soon as possible
We won't get any updates to anti cheats until season 2... Let that sink in and fuel your resentment towards Activision
Ricochet or not, it's time for Activison to stepping on.
Welp.
CODM (VNG servers in praticularly) at one point was swarm-attacked by hackers. It goes so fcked up, like, in 1000 matches, around 481 matches have hackers. It was so notorious that the Server Moderators make a big step up and make a Discord Server (still multi-purpose), use it for "mass-real-report", by directly tagging Mod and give them "legitmate" clips, just around 6 months, hackers got almost swept away. Instead of ingame news, the direct contact was made in servers, really effective tbh. A major step up for a cleaner experience.
I know this ain't help, but it's time for Activison to make some real shjt coming.
When that History of SMGs in Warzone video???
as in essence to say activision don't want to ban cheaters, because they are profitable for them for online instead of playing normally and not to rub such people even if you gave a complaint you will not get a response because you are ignored and this means that cheaters are profitable for them
You know what activision should do? Put cheaters in a perma shadowban that way they only play against other cheaters
I have personally been shadow banned 12 times I know it sound fake but it’s across 2022-2024 but the problem is I am not good I am not bad but it’s a big problem it’s just annoying that I see a cheater in my lobby i report and then I am shadow banned
Shadowbans has always been 120 hrs, if it goes higher then that. Then there is something happening
Console players are 99.9999% safe from the false report system. I have both a console and a pc and when I feel like a shadow might come or I decide I want to play rank I legit pull out my console play on that, sad I can’t use the nice pc 😢
Every match i play on black ops 6, i get disconnected with the msg you have been temporarily banned from call of duty black ops 6 servers, then i proceed to the ban appeal activision page and there is no BANS active, everything is fine, yet when i open the game and play a match or 2 this happens again, does anyone know what's going on?
Just do what I do: After every death you suffer within Warzone/Multiplayer just report the player that killed you without hesitation or even attempting to confirm whether or not the player is cheating. Trust no Cod player. They're all guilty 😊 Eventually 100% of the player base will suffer from the depths of Shadow Ban Realm Purgatory and quit playing this Godforsaken game. The developers/Publisher do not deserve your play time nor your money.😊
Bobbypoff admitted to sharing accounts..... but hes part of the diddy list so all is forgiven
To quote blame truth "cod is morally dead"
Can someone tell me why Activision would invest in a functional anti cheat? It doesnt make sense to me when people will continue to buy the game along with the skins REGARDLESS.
If Activision made a great game with good servers and a solid anti cheat they’d be throwing money in the toilet. They can easily give us the bare minimum and people will still spend their hearts out.
I got a perma false ban after 5 days of gameplay, I submitted my windows logs and process hacker logs in their entirety... And they said no, bans are considered final. Wouldn't even let me prove I'm not cheating. Activision support is a fucking joke
They need to do something where it bans your game or ip address rather than account
Ricochet HWID Bans.
this is the exact reason why i stopped supporting these devs. they are far too lazy and greedy now for their own good.
a clear reason why we don't hear much from Valorant.
Soon got falsely perms banned for no reason and I wasn’t even on the game and they sent me an email saying I was usiing unauthorized software and was manipulating game data and mind you this I don’t even hack or cheat on it and when I appealed it they denied and idk what to do about this situation now
you dont need to be carnal level to detect cheats ...its like setting your house on fire so no one robs you ...the risk is worse then reword to the customer
They simply don't care for the playerbase, they are still making their money
I hate the comparison to vanguard considering people are using ahk in valorant not facing bans lol
i dont know if im right or wrong about this, but is this a gamepass issue? where you can get this game for free (not really, you have to sub GP for month) then install cheat software that can destroy Ricochet anti cheat?, then make another account again, sub GP, use cheat software again, ruin other players....
Warzone is the worst thing to happen to Call of Duty, shit killed the franchise from a moral standpoint, and a game standpoint. Multiplayer is the worst it has ever been because of Warzone, Zombies is the worst it has ever been because of Warzone, and campaign is the worst it has ever been because of Warzone.. Warzone needs to be shut down and removed from existence or completely separated as its own entity and not linked to the main games at all, it should be treated like its own thing, like Cod Mobile is. We need the 3 dev studios to make their OWN games, use different engines, that is why ricochet sucks, cause it's on the same engine with the same code so it's copy pasted every year so cheats are subjectively copy pasted game to game, this whole franchise is a joke now it's embarrassing.
You all keep buying the game so 🤷🏼♂️ idk what y’all expect is going to change lol the COD community is dumb 🤣
my experience with ricochet was when I asked my friend to play for me.
This was right around the time when they made using VPNs as a bannable offense and my friend is in russia where everything he uses (youtube, discord, twitter and so on) is banned and he is forced to use a VPN, safe to say I got shadow banned for about 2-3 weeks, spent those weeks just playing zombies.
You cant share accounts, call of duty strongly advices to not do it. So it kinda is ur own fault broski😂
You lying been using vpn since wz2 hahaha never been shadow banned or anything? Even since there comments on vpn. They have only stopped you searching on high ping that is it lmao most cod VPNs keep you on low ping anyway like bro what u talking about
If your friend played on your account in Russia he would be on normal ping even with a vpn XD wtf are u on about that’s no different than you travelling and playing somewhere else how is that sharing an account in there eyes?
@@Greebz7 good for you bro. You seem like the type of guy that needs a Vpn to play the game cuz ur too trash for normal lobbies😂
@ HAHAHAH I’ve hit iridescent every season on wz3 also have 4.3kd on new Warzone come again? 😂 drop your activison and let’s run it and see who the bot is ya cringe
Ricochet has the same issues as every other Anti Cheat, nothing new. Anti Cheats can not fix any cheater situation, all what an anti cheat can do is provent to make cheats easily available, we all saw what happend with GTA Online on PC, now its actually playable after they added Battleye, before it you found 10 cheaters in 1 Lobby, now its like every 10 lobby 1 cheater.
The main issue is more players that can not take an L and call everyone a cheater, i bet there are more players calling some1 a cheater than there are actually cheaters
cheating should be a crime
and what i mean with this is 10 YEARS IN THE PRISON FOR THE CHEATER!!!!
Here’s what I don’t get: the cheating is almost exclusively in ranked and Warzone… so why is anyone still playing there?
It's in EVERY SINGLE MODE. I play pretty tactically so I usually have a decent KD. 1.88-2.5kd because I don't run around like a madman and make sure to at least get a few kills before I move positions. I'm constantly put into insane lobbies with rushers running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Also, these lobbies are full of cheaters. Regular MP lobbies and I can't get a single match without wall hackers and aim botters. It's just bad all around especially if you have a "higher than average" KD. I only have a high KD because I micro camp. Basically just hold lanes and switch lanes after a few kills and then do it all over again. I'll usually go 30+ kills with only a few deaths per game.
@ I play on PS5 with crossplay off and ever since I turned off crossplay about 6 weeks ago, I haven’t seen cheating at all. I only play MP and zombies, so I can’t speak for WZ, but I’ve heard the same from other console cats who play with CP off…
Activision should get sued
I swear I literally have like a 1.7kd and if I do well in like a couple matches in a row, I get shadow banned into cheater lobbies bruh
Here's my take on the COD ricochet anti cheat (mind you I came back from years break since AW) I've played multiple titles with different anti cheats but I will say this
Some anti cheats use some coding algorithm using AI to ban people, there are some innocent bans that come with that BUT most bans are more than likely, cheaters getting flagged and banned
In terms of valorants anti cheat, that's a whole another rabit hole and goes deeper than you think BUT it works as intended
Ricochet was at best a subpar anti cheat and with their processes to bans and appeals.
It's weird how this game as a whole is easier to get shadowbanned/limited matchmaking, I had an instance where I've been shadowbanned in MW3 (2023) and tbh I don't blame the community to label anyone a cheater BUT nowadays in COD, the majority of the community doesn't know how to distinguish what's a hack/cheat to an above average player
Not to mention if developers have a statement regarding anti cheat, any cheating developers can and will try to compromise that, which is why you don't hear much about anti cheat development, usually you'd have to go to the publisher/company job hiring website to get some clarity of what they actually hire and sometimes (rare cases) you'll get some clarity
I hate ricochet mostly because it wants to study the cheaters and then ban them the theories that it will be a perfect system but it's not. It should just ban them I don't like them doing research for a year and then banning a bunch of people. Your player base is gone because you're not doing anything
& this is why I play only Zombies. That & it's more fun than screaming at children
Shadowed since 26th nov with 2 reshadows after 12 hours. Its insane
What a masterpiece
Yet ive not seen a cheater 1
''should an anticheat monitor your computer even when the game is off ?'' no, it shouldnt, your computer isnt an infinite power source, anything running on it uses its ressources, including said anticheat, so if 20 different game all use 20 different anticheat, monitoring 20 different software and such, its gonna weight its toll. an anticheat is also limited by the ammount of software it needs to keep an eye out, something completely unrelated to a cheating software can be flagged as one, and such, a cheating software can avoid the anticheat. this whole video is a passive aggressive rant about the report system (wich has fair point) and the anticheat from someone that has little to no idea how a software or an anticheat works
Ok ima use this as an example a anti virus like northon what they do is they scan your device your files everything to check for viruses in your devices yet they dont get attack because they do the same thing that the valorant anti cheat does
If you’re better than me you’re cheating. Its impossible to be better than me.
at this point i think ricochet are also the cheat devs ...i mean get cash threw the hacks is a much better pay bracket
The first ricochet anticheat version wasnt ass but now its super shit
The amount of hackers in warzone plunder is outrageous they should start there
Know that feeling. “Potential Violation” is like a punch in the face. We don’t know if you did anything wrong. But yeah… we banned you anyways.
I was and still in a perm ban like bobbyoff I always thought It was stupid since I was asleep while it happened idek what to do cause it had Orion and was almost done with interstellar since it was like middle of may is there anything I can do or is the damage already done?
Edit: is there anyway I can get the account back it’s really awkward to switch accounts anytime I want to play cod like contacting activision or is it not possible
Its okay after 2 Boxing is gone, uninstalled the game for ever!👋🏻👋🏻
Think i've had enough of cheaters in every lobby i'm in. I try to play on without saying anything (Because why speak up if nothing will happen?) I will admit, i'm not amazing. I have a job so i can't grind out like some sweats do, however i'm always in sweaty lobbies with (Judging from their skin) top 250 ranked players and below.
It doesn't work and i think it's hilarious you can cheat using something as basic as Cheat Engine to manipulate it.
Let's be real, it doesn't work. Or it doesn't exist. It has either never worked or never existed.
Guess I’m going to Apex or something
i still play XDefiant
@ I used to play apex and I think I might switch back. I love cod but really they aren’t gonna do anything till szn 2. Unreal. The hacking problem is annoying and really demotivating to play the game
6:41 how’s it legal..? They’re not abiding on their part.
If you guys want your cod to be fixed STOP SPEND YOUR MONEY. You spending your money on this pile of dog shit and it’s skin packs shows Activision that THIS IS OKAY
🥰🥰🥰
Ricochet is not an anti cheat it’s the Ai that Manipulates Your gameplay. Shadow banned ricochet is Guessing who to ban?
i buy into what blametruth says about richochet. i think it's to monitor players but for more sinister reasons than to ban players cheating. seriously, give me one other legitimate reason how it's gotten worse other than the programmers being so grossly incompetent they shouldn't be working with technology
You forgot to mention there has been a bad hacker problem in mw3 so how can activision let it get this bad do they just don't care anymore and are trying to push away real cod fans and sell childish bundles to kids?
as good as pc is, 240hz and whatever other benefits are not worth dealing with this shit. ima hide on xbox until the day cheating is gone for good (probably forever)
One day I was like all right I can’t wait to play call of duty I login and it says I’ve been banned and then I’m like why so I go on the website and it says I was cheating and I’m like I’ve never cheated and then I made a whole Xbox account just to play call of duty and then I get my account back Bruh😂
