In a blog post discussing these moves, Activision also pledged to release more frequent updates in the future, which will come at least monthly. The publisher plans on instituting a number of measures to help curtail future cheaters, including security updates, enhanced anti-cheat software, and more. Bans will be coming more swiftly, as well, with a zero tolerance policy for cheaters.
It remains to be seen what impact these moves will have on the game as a whole, but it's clear that Activision is making an attempt to tackle the issue! After all, cheaters make it much more difficult for players to enjoy Call of Duty as intended, and that could lead to some players abandoning the game, as a result. In the replies to Activision's Tweet, many fans expressed their skepticism that these changes would make a difference; 60,000 bans is certainly a nice start, but the future measures will be much more important. Activision and its development teams will have their work cut out for them, but the effort will be worth it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
