Modern Warfare 2 players hit with \u201cfalse bans\u201d as reporting system slammed ActivisionModern Warfare 2 players continue to struggle with \u201cfalse bans\u201d, with the 2022 title\u2019s in-game reporting feature coming under serious scrutiny. Call of Duty\u2019s recent issues with cheaters have been well documented. From Warzone and Modern Warfare through the end of Vanguard\u2019s life cycle, issues with cheaters and hackers of all varieties plagued Activision\u2019s FPS. While RICOCHET\u2019s implementation from MW2\u2019s launch has alleviated the problem to a significant extent, some are finding that it\u2019s actually gone too far the other way. That is to say that plenty of players are reporting being falsely banned, often prompted by in-game reports. Currently, any player can report an enemy in-game that they suspect of cheating. While that has its benefits, it also means that frustrated and\/or toxic players can report a player they know not to be cheating. That is, according to a host of affected individuals, exactly what is happening. MW2 players still reporting \u201cfalse bans\u201d In a December 27 Reddit post, one player reported their account being locked and \u201cunder review\u201d. The message says that their account is \u201cbeing reviewed to determine a potential violation. Unfortunately, we are unable to inform you when the process will be complete.\u201d According to the OP, they have been locked out of playing for a week and their account status has not yet changed. They said: \u201cBeen a week, still not out. Here\u2019s to another week! Or even longer who knows. You\u2019re welcome for the free money!\u201d Another player, on a similar note, called for the devs to change the reporting system in MW2. They claimed: \u201cI\u2019ve seen so many cases of players being falsely banned or shadow banned because players on the other team didn\u2019t like that they got destroyed.\u201d A third claimed to have been wrongfully banned for over two weeks despite not cheating or being toxic on voice chat. It joins calls from more prominent community figures, like DougIsRaw, who have been the target of reporting waves in Warzone 2.0. As of the time of writing, Infinity Ward have not addressed the issues publicly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
