Black Ops 7 Cheaters In The Beta Were Booted Very Quickly, Activision Says

Here is a 198-word summary of the news article: The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer beta was quickly disrupted by cheaters, but Activision says their anti-cheat systems were highly effective. According to the developer, 97% of cheaters were stopped within 30 minutes of signing in, and fewer than 1% managed to get into a match before being booted "within minutes." Activision's Ricochet anti-cheat team credited their upgraded systems, including strengthened TPM 2.0 checks and automated detection, for catching cheaters faster than ever. They also said they have directly contributed to the closure of over 40 cheat developers and resellers since the last game. While some players may have seen clips of cheating online, Activision claims most of those accounts had already been actioned before the footage surfaced. The developer emphasized that their anti-cheat efforts will only grow stronger by the time the full game launches. Activision acknowledged that the security requirements for the beta, like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, can be disruptive, but said they are necessary to ensure a fair experience. The company also added a non-SBMM playlist in response to fan feedback.
