Call of Duty promises \u201cstronger\u201d anti-cheat in Modern Warfare 3 with new \u2018Splat\u2019 mechanic ActivisionCall of Duty has promised a \u201cfaster and stronger\u201d iteration of Ricochet anti-cheat with Modern Warfare 3, including new mechanics to ruin hackers\u2019 games and, hopefully, deter cheaters even further. Hacking has been a major problem in Call of Duty for some time, especially with the launch of Warzone battle royale in March 2020, which brought cheaters to the forefront and absolutely took Verdansk by storm before the Ricochet anti-cheat was created and implemented into the game. While it has been by no means perfect, the system has been great in countering hackers most of the time \u2014 but, of course, many still slip through the cracks, and can often be caught cheating for higher placements in ranked modes or even just ruining other\u2019s games. But, with updates coming for MW3, that could be set to change. Activision promise \u201cfaster and stronger\u201d anti-cheat In an announcement on November 9, the day before the game\u2019s official launch date, Call of Duty explained that with new Machine Learning advancements, \u201cRicochet is preparing for the launch of Modern Warfare III with a stronger and faster process to combat cheating.\u201d The aim is not only to target hackers and banish them on a more widespread and consistent level but to target them much quicker. Anti-cheat \u2018Splat\u2019 mechanic They will also be introducing a new \u2018Splat\u2019 mechanic, intended to troll verified Warzone cheaters by doing pretty much exactly what it sounds like. With Splat, if a cheater is discovered, they\u201d may randomly, and for fun, disable their parachute sending them careening into the ground after they deploy.\u201d If the cheater is caught after they\u2019ve deployed, Splat can also adjust player velocity, which \u201ctransforms a bunny hop into a 10,000-foot drop taking them out instantly.\u201d However, Splat won\u2019t randomly turn on for a player that isn\u2019t verified to be cheating. Player reporting won\u2019t turn it on, and the game can\u2019t accidentally activate it, meaning this will be for players who have been proven beyond doubt to be hacking in Warzone. These changes are expected to take place alongside the launch of Modern Warfare 3, so there should be discernible improvements almost straight away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
