In the past few weeks, many players and streamers have been complaining about the cheaters and hackers in the game Call of Duty Warzone that has caused some streamers and gamers to quit the game or to take a break. It has resulted in them calling out Activision to make some moves in order to avoid cheating in the game.

Now, Activision has finally responded to the ongoing cheating crisis as they revealed that they had issued over 60,000 bans in its latest wave and announced enhancements to the game’s anti-cheat system. Activision announced; “Today we banned 60,000 accounts for confirmed cases of using cheat software in Warzone, bringing our total to date of more than 300,000 permabans worldwide since launch.”

Back in April 2020, Activision also issued a ban-wave just a month after the game was released. Activision also confirmed that it will be looking to broker a more consistent line communication between Raven Software and the Warzone player-base. The publisher is pledging to provide updates on bans, anti-cheats, etc. at least once a month, and possibly even weekly. Many are hoping that these changes finally bring an end, or at least significantly addresses the cheating issue plaguing the game.
