Ricochet’s Worldwide Release Does Little to Please Call of Duty: Warzone Fans

Call of Duty has a hacking problem. The game’s massively popular battle royale is a safe haven for hackers and cheaters. Players who use wall-hacks, aimbots, and other such tools can be frequently found. In fact, the situation is so bad that Activision had to reassure the player base with its new anti-cheat Ricochet. However, it seems that fans are not convinced.

BREAKING: RICOCHET Anti-Cheat is FULLY LIVE WORLDWIDE! Server side measures were already in place but tonight’s update to #Warzone made the kernel level driver available (and required to play on PC) worldwide!

Fans react to new Call of Duty anti-cheat Ricochet

Ricochet will be fully inducted into the game today. The fans, however, are not entirely sure about it.

Same. Saw nothing whatsoever about a kernel level driver unless it’s 100% in the background. But again never prompted me that it must be installed.

I watch a streamer who knows a lot of Asian players (he’s from the Philippines) and they have been informing him cheaters have been as strong as ever in Asia lately. So not a ton of faith in the anti cheat, unfortunately..

Why am I convinced this guy doesn’t realize that this game sucks ass right now? How bad of a state this game is in right now. Not even an anti cheat makes me hype to run back to this poorly optimized bullshit and I’m on next gen. It’s ridiculous

Don’t care. Halo better

Some gamers seem to have found an alternative in Halo Infinite.

It appears that the game is still facing multiple problems. The community is not very pleased with Call of Duty and the direction it has taken.
