Overview
- Activision's Ricochet Anti-Cheat system, designed to curb cheating in Call of Duty games, has been temporarily disabled.
- The deactivation has resulted in a significant increase in cheating, with players encountering cheaters in nearly every match.
- New and creative cheating methods, including flying characters and automatic rocket launchers, have made fair play nearly impossible.
- Professional players and streamers express frustration, with some choosing to avoid playing ranked matches due to the prevalence of cheaters.
- Speculation arises that the temporary deactivation may be a strategy to identify and ban cheaters more effectively.
