Activision’s current most profitable battle royale shooter “Call of Duty: Warzone” (Call of Duty: Warzone), like other competitive shooting games suffers from plug-in cheating problems, although Activision blocked it a while ago Many accounts, but it is obviously still difficult to restrain the rampant of external players. Cheating players even continue to publish their own audio and video clips on Douyin.
In August of this year, Raven Software once again publicized a wave of cheating blockade announcements. The number of blocked accounts reached 50,000, bringing the cumulative number of plug-ins blocked by Modern Battlefield to 650,000, which seems to prove that the beginning of this year, See the results of a comprehensive upgrade of the anti-plug-in system.
???? Today we banned over 50,000 accounts in #Warzone.
More importantly, we are listening and hard at work behind the scenes.
We will have more info for you soon.

However, after this wave of account closures, there are still players claiming to have seen plug-in players in the game, and even overseas live broadcasters accidentally exposed the plug-in window during the live broadcast of “Modern Battlefield” and were caught by the audience.
In the end, after the cheating news of the live broadcaster was exposed, the account was quickly blocked by IP.

Although the development team continues to work hard, but the road is one foot high, the magic is high, and this type of player will never end. A Douyin live host, rushman360, complained in the video a few weeks ago. First, he generously admitted that he opened up for fun and had several accounts, but claimed that his computer was completely blocked by Activision’s hardware.

Of course, hardware blockade and IP blockade are not news. This is one of the methods used by the industry to counteract plug-ins, but the most difficult part of the countermeasure is still detection. If the plug-in successfully evades system detection, then These punishments also cannot come in handy.
Soon, this vibrato live host once again updated the information on his channel PO, the plug-in developer Engine******, and after a few days, he reappeared and uploaded himself in “Modern Battlefield”. A video of sight or perspective.
This anti-plug-in war undoubtedly involves not only the “Modern Battlefield”, but also the anti-plug security of Activision’s next “Decisive Moment: Vanguard”. Of course, Activision is not the only one facing this problem. EA DICE in the next room is also facing a situation of being provoked by external vendors-“Battlefield 2042” has not yet been launched, and external vendors have already advertised that they can evade official detection. Measurement.
It is precisely because of the huge benefits of the plug-in market that this war against plug-in cheating has become an eternally difficult human issue in the game industry.
