Activision says it has “disabled a workaround to a detection system” in Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone that led to legitimate players getting banned by the Ricochet anti-cheat system. The company says the problem “impacted a small number of legitimate player accounts,” and all accounts affected were restored.

Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone players will need to make the most of Ranked Play, as both modes are set to go offline on October 17. With the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fast approaching, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 's final season is coming to an end,

Activision announced several updates to RICOCHET anti-cheat to better protect players from cheaters in Black Ops 6.

Online shooters can get contentious, so it’s no surprise that they’re filled with cheaters and regular players whose behaviors get them banned. But some hackers were able to exploit Call of Duty‘s automated anti-cheating system to get innocent players banned,

The fixing of the exploit could lead to cheaters potentially being unbanned alongside falsely banned players.
