Over 60% of Call of Duty players reported for cheating are on console, but the data says nearly all cheaters are on PC: ‘We’ve found that many of these reports have been inaccurate’

Hackusations: We’ve all made one, been the target of one, or at least suspected that our online opponents aren’t legit. Few communities are more likely to call foul on your play than Call of Duty, whose prevalence among cheat sellers convinced Activision to form Ricochet, an entire division dedicated to anti-cheat, a few years ago.

The Ricochet Anti-Cheat team has since released progress reports every few months, documenting ban statistics and detailing new tactics to counter the latest and greatest in ruining games for other people. Today’s report touches on the purpose of “shadow bans,” new restrictions around Ranked play, and community questions, but what caught my eye was a section on bogus reports.
