It’s soon going to be over for all the notorious hackers in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. Thanks to a newly introduced anti-cheat tech, the devs seem to have finally found out a strategy to keep the invaders at bay in the ongoing entry.
This could be possible with the reveal of a tool called ‘Hallucinations’. Undoubtedly, it does exactly what its name suggests – hallucinating the cheaters. Simply put, they are going to lose their minds!

The Ricochet system has been present for quite a long time now. However, despite their best efforts, the devs haven’t been able to fully eliminate cheaters and hackers with this tool in recent games. Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Warzone are no exceptions as well. Both these titles have faced endless instances of innocent players facing hackers in Multiplayer and battle royale matches.
But now it looks like the anti-cheat system has actually received a buff with a unique tech called Hallucinations. Here’s the description given by the devs in a recent blog explaining the same:
Hallucinations place decoy characters within the game that can only be detected by cheaters that have been specifically flagged by our system. These false characters are undetectable by legitimate players, and they cannot impact a legitimate player’s aim, progression, end of match stats or overall gameplay experience, but serve to disorient cheaters in a variety of ways.
Moreover, Hallucinations can be deployed as a mitigation for the cheaters who are verified, and also for the suspicious players. The best part of this tech is that the deployed Operators look and behave similarly to the actual, human players.
They are not AI but clones of active users in a given match. Thus, they will end up playing with the hackers’ minds on a psychological level, making them confused to figure out if they are targeting a real user or not.

Eventually, this will prevent the human players from being at the receiving end of the cheaters. In short, they will be able to enjoy the game as usual without having to worry about any unusual encounter.
