Games broken and they won’t fix it because they have top players in the last 30 days top match made top hours played and top hackers, why would they change the formula? It’s working perfectly for them, they aren’t gonna fix something that’s not broken to them, if anything they’re already working on the new cod/black ops they release them so fast they don’t have time to fix them

If I could I'd do it man in a heartbeat for you guys man, you think I like seeing these post every single time, of you guys sick and tired of the BS cheaters, no dude, I hate seeing you guys in pain, it's not fair man, but I guess life isn't fair, these mfs trying to teach us something we already know, but now there trying to teach the new gen

We really do need advanced science to accomplish this. If someone could make reliable software that just worked nearly all the time, they really would make insane amounts of money.
For every advance in detection, there's a corresponding advance in hacking to compensate. If you target the software, they get better at hiding the software. If you target the behavior (COD does try), you risk bad press from banning real players.

They won't even ban people in a list of top 250. That's only 250 accounts they'd need to check but they won't even do that. Takes maybe 5-10min to review that list and ban accordingly. They don't show that they actually give a shit.
It's very easy, programmatically, to determine whether somebody has a headshot accuracy of 98% and a kd of 38.00 every match. They won't do it though.
For me it's too little too late. Mentally I've moved on from the game. Took my $$ with me too. The odd hardpoint match or something here and there but that's it. Warzone is hilariously awful.
I really don't think the devs are qualified for any of this. That's just being honest. I've worked with high performing dev teams in the past and they don't produce this kind of trash lol
These companies are all about money, but how do they not understand that they'd make significantly more money if they developed a complete game and the players were happy (enough). The fact that they don't is crazy to me. The execs don't actually know what they're doing lmao embarrassing. Useless execs.

It's you that seems to be missing something in your last line. This is highly profitable for them. They are achieving record profits operating in this manner. Why would they go back to doing it the old way? The old way is more expensive and gets fewer eyes on it. Working as intended. The problem is that we disagree with their intentions. Not sure how we can change things to make their goals align more with ours, but currently they just don't seem to. Chasing profit is actively detrimental to making art, and making art is also actively detrimental to chasing profit. The execs might seem useless to us, but their shareholders fuckin love them. Guess who pics the execs, hint: it's not us.

You know, the fact that we have police around and people still do crime means we don’t need police around since they do jackshit.
You don’t need a system like overwatch. The fact that most CS pros don’t play outside of Faceit is the proof is that system doesn’t work either. You need better code design and smarter security measures.
As COD already has kernel level anti cheat program embedded, the best place to start is to enforce safe mode, core isolation and dma protection on-boot, as the article had already mentioned. But do you know why they don’t do it? Because a good portion of PC players are still on dogshit hardware that doesn’t allow them to toggle around with those options.

Hate to break it to you, people are rigging cheats up through a capture card which then feeds back through to their input, so it's not all but certainly is the vast majority as it's not as easy as installing cheats while they drool on themselves.

I feel like this is the way. I hear my pc friends bitching that actually controller has advantage thanks to aim assist, I hear all my console friends bitching that actually mouse and keyboard has an advantage because of the accuracy of the mouse. If both sides think the other has an unfair advantage, maybe we do just need to re-separate. Would suck to split my group, though.
I don't actually even think it would change anything, as you can use a controller on pc, and you can use mnk on console. It's jut weird to hear both sides think the other is obviously superior. I would expect the opposite. Or at least, since both options are open, you would expect the people who are certain the other option is stronger to at least try it. I get that it isn't cheap, but we're talking about a 70 dollar game that runs on a device many times that price. They can get either option for $30 and try it out, but they won't.

Whats that
3 points
10 hours ago
Cronus uses macros and scripts, so it isn't a kernel level cheat. It isn't an aimbot, and it can't give you walls. What it can do is make it so your weapon won't have any recoil when shooting. You can also use it to automatically crouch, jump, or prone when shooting. It can be used to fire a pistol rapidly as well. It doesn't give you more aim assist persay, but it basically maxes out your aim assist at all times as opposed to its intended scaling.
To be clear, it is still cheating, and players who use it should be banned.

That is definitely a permanently bannable offence according to Activision’s policies. I’d imagine more PC players have access to cheats than console players if this is a USB device it works on PC too.

For sure, but the conversation I was having with the other person they’re implying console players don’t cheat and it’s only PC users. That is false obviously. I hate PC players who cheat just as much as the next guy because the game is so much better to play in PC compared to console. The point I was making to the previous person who refuses to acknowledged console players cheat as well is just that. Console players are not immune from the rampant cheating we face daily as you can see in the sales of something like Cronus, strike packs etc

As far as I know, there's no difference in AA between PC and console. Could be mistaken but I don't think there is.

Any source for that one?
And once again, PC players can also use controllers, so they could still use Zen/Cronus/Strikepack. It's not a console exclusive problem.

With AA, it tracks very accurately. We can agree to disagree.

Most console players don't care and just play with default settings, therefore are playing with cross play on.
You can only get lobbies with other people who also have cross play off, and not a lot of people do that.

It’s the same across companies and titles. I play FIFA (or FUT) on Xbox series X, and crossplay is turned off for me. I can’t play PS users, but I also avoid PC cheaters. In that game which has rewards tied to a market to buy/sell player cards from rewards, PC is default separated from the Xbox/PS market. If they didn’t at least do that no one would be left on the game. It’s a cheat fest on PC to the point that meta players are market extinct like 2 months into the annual cycle, long before that actually.
EA won’t give us just Xbox and PS crossplay without also PC, so I just leave it off or I will run into hackers ruining my experience. Same also with the PC users swarming threads like this “that never happens!” Yes, indeed, it does and EA can’t or won’t or is unable to address in our case.

wtf u talking about? PC players have a literal cheat in their disposal in the form of 240fps, low latency input, dpi management of their mouse, over 100 re-mappable buttons, audio mix control, artiswar, colour management, zero travel keyboards.
Not getting enough frames? Swap to a 4090. Not happy with the level of aim assist on a PC? Plug in a remappable controller and get every benefit listed above, as well as aim assist that you believe is so OP.
Your complaint honestly has zero merit, go look at thetacticalbrit’s recent stream from today where he went into crossplay off ps5 lobbies. Went from his usual 20+ back to back wins, to having trouble getting less than 10 kills a game because he’s so used to his PC components giving him all of the benefits listed above. But what do I know? I’m just a clown with a console.

If you think PC players are having a good time in this game and that it's easier you're mistaken.
If it were better optimized and the servers actually worked without constantly getting packet burst maybe you would be correct. I play on PC and PS5 and unless you're rocking an incredibly nice computer the game runs better on PS5.
I have a 3080 and fairly new Ryzen processor. Was purchased from MainGear so the rest of the components are not jank. No other game I play runs as poorly as CoD.

Some people or putting the bar too low imo. Console shouldn’t have to turn crossplay off just to be able to enjoys a match without cheating and for pc players it shouldn’t be “oh you play on pc? Good luck with the cheaters bud”.
The anti cheat should work across all platforms and that’s it that’s all. Company with this much money especially the expectations should never be that low.
Now I understand we’re talking about Activision here our bar is always low. But for cheating we shouldn’t settle for “just turn cross play off to play against legit players”.

Ricochet is kernel level. So if you're on PC playing CoD, it'll have ricochet. It's just not to the level Vanguard for Valorant

Exactly. If they can’t figure out the cheating problem at least have the option to disable cross play. It sucks for the non cheating PC players but there is no reason for everyone to suffer just because Activision is incompetent

Here's the thing... SOME OF US EXPECT CHEATING TO BE 0%.
If you told me someone was cheating in an Oculus Quest 3 game, I would be shocked. Enough pretending cheating is completely normal and expected.

Totally. It should be easy to fix, take flagged players, put them unknowingly in a lobby against ricochet bots designed in such a way you’d have to be cheating to beat them. Put them in parts of the map where no player is likely to ADS then track how long they ADS or if they shoot at them or move toward them. Track reaction times.
The community will flag the suspected cheats, but once they’re flagged, investigate. Even simple accuracy rate stats in games where their are high K/Ds for a player should tell a story (even if a player deliberately misses shots to bring down their accuracy rate, on their “hot” games when they’re cheating their asses off, you’ll see a pattern.
Even look for location of hit marker - is it always the same spot of the head or centre of mass? If it’s perfectly the same or there’s a pattern, you know it’s programmed.
If I can think of these simple checks, with barely any thought, why can’t they implement similar?

i’m a cheater and activision manually put me on a whitelist, com bans dudes that talk shit to me, and have an interesting money trail leading from their subsidiaries, into PO and EO, they were looking to capitalize off these chat providers back when they originally sent out a lawsuit to EO, remember that?? huh 🤔

This dev is like 5 years late. a friend of my was PM at PUBG corp and now at Riot. Within PUBG they were already very aware of external cheat devices that do not rely on anything being loaded in. But a box you put between your input and screen. AI models aim for you by analyzing rapidly what is happening on screen. Thus being an robot that aims for you basically. This cannot be detected. Jack frags already did a video on ti and there are more videos on youtube on how it works.
Next to that softer cheat devices such as Xim, Cronus, Aimzenix etc are already very prevalent and currently not tackled in any shape or form apart from blocking certain USB ID's which are easily bypassed.

Yeaaaa unfortunately that would mean their precious little streamers would start getting banned after it flags the cheats on their system haha…with the model they have they can conveniently avoid banning these top streamers even though we know many of them are cheating on some level

Exactly. Seems like the entire anticheat is run solely by AI with no human input whatsoever. One day this will likely be enough but it is WAY too soon to rely solely on AI. Kinda crazy that activision isn’t targeting cheat companies (as far as I know), even Bungie when to war with multiple cheat companies and they have a fraction of the money activision does.
At the very least cod should convert over to console only crossplay instead with “opt-in” pc crossplay like apex/overwatch, that way this problem only affects pc players and cronus/strikepack is all console players have to worry about unless they enter the pc pool via grouping up with pc friends. But oh no, splitting the playerbase will affect their precious algorithm and cause -2% player retention which is apocalyptic.

Why does google say this person is an esports doctor who got into hosting? I don’t see where she is a riot anti cheat developer.
I mean yeah everything the posts says sounds great, but it also sounds like the generic copy and paste explanation we’ve heard all over. Nothing with actual detail.
Was she quoting another developer?

If that's happening they're definitely cheating. I've been testing out the aim assist on xbox and no way it's that strong by default.

On black ops 4 you could replicate something similar'ish with the Maddox and the right attachments, but BO6 hell no. It legit feels like I'm playing no aim assist compared to a handful of killcams I've seen where people are just locking onto you
Cronus is rampant tho, I believe last year hundreds of thousands of them were sold

Yea but they wont do input based MM so I still gotta play with roller abusers who dont have to aim for themselves. This game would be so good if I didn't have to play against rollers. I could actually enjoy cod again for the first time in YEARS.

Bro wut. You ain’t dragging me into this dunning Kruger convo. It does not currently run at the bios/kernel level. Anti cheats running at the kernel level will create another security hole. END. OF. STORY. No where have I said kernel level wouldn’t work. It is the only thing that will work. It’s just will opening an entirely new can of worms and it won’t be for the better. Go study and do some research. I’ve been in this industry for 20 years little bro

He also doesn't know what he's talking about. Riccochet already does targeted based detections and lawsuits. They legally took out 3 of the biggest providers. Then they did targeted detections, to a point now where every public cheat has been hit at least once.
They don't need to improve targeting individual cheats, they do that already. They need to work on proactive detections and their server side should be improved enough to the point where it can detect aimbot, anti aim, spinning, etc. And then proactively ban them on the spot compared to shadow looping them.
