Activision launches "illusion" against cheating players

According to Engadget , Activision has employed a series of new tactics against cheaters in Call of Duty , ranging from making them unable to see their targets, to disarming them.

The latest anti-cheat measure is one of the first steps that game developers at Activision are taking, aiming to fight hackers who are targeting Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 with cheat programs, such as wall hacks.

Call of Duty is getting a power boost to fight cheaters

In terms of how it works, when Activision's Ricochet anti-cheat systems detect or suspect a player is cheating, a "hallucination" feature is immediately deployed to disorient the hacker. What's interesting about the feature is that each "hallucination" is a clone of a real player in the match. The "hallucination" is able to move, look, and interact exactly like a real player, and the cheater will be trapped.

The Ricochet team says it will be difficult for players using hacks to tell the difference between the "illusion" and the real player. The "illusion" will emit the same type of hidden information that cheaters often get from legitimate players through cheat tools. The feature will also be turned on when in close contact with a player suspected of cheating, and if they react, they will be detected.

On the other hand, Ricochet removed another anti-cheat feature called Quicksand, which would have potentially slowed or immobilized cheaters. The company promised to update it in the future, but it's currently disabled.
