MODERN WARARE III x MWZ

 

GLOBAL

RICOCHET ANTI-CHEAT

The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team has been tracking a spike in cheating reports within the community. We are currently in test for additional security updates; however, the following updates have just been deployed:

• Disabled game code for limited-time perks (Ex. super speed)

As part of ongoing security updates, a single telemetry system was taken offline for upgrades over the weekend. This action resulted in cheat developers claiming RICOCHET Anti-Cheat was offline. It was not. As a result of monitoring activity over the weekend and the purposeful reactivation of this upgraded system, Team RICOCHET was able to identify and ban over 6000 accounts for cheating and hacking from February 16 – February 20.

Our team continues to work on security updates for issues across various modes in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare III.

SR (Skill Rating)

• Kill & Assist SR
  • Only the following players will receive Kill & Assist credit when a player is eliminated:
    • The player who downed the eliminated player.
    • Players who damaged the eliminated player shortly before they were downed.
  • Players who didn’t damage the eliminated player shortly before they were downed will instead earn Squadmate Kill SR when their teammates down and eliminate an enemy.

 

This change is being made to ensure the competitive integrity of Kill & Assist SR by removing the ability for players to „tap“ downed enemies to overinflate their SR gains.

This change will also help streamline gameplay by preventing disruptions rooted in prolonging eliminations to „tap“.

With these changes and our increase to Squadmate Kill SR in Season 2, gameplay should feel just as rewarding and much smoother.
