In recent months, Call of Duty’s “slingshot” anti-cheating system has been somewhat like a villain in a pantomime.In the first season of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6", the qualifying match was full of cheaters, and there were also a large number of cheaters in "Call of Duty: War Zone", and players complained about this.The “slingshot” team promises improvements and launches new features, and now a new blog post reveals some of their work.The article also shows that since the release of Black Ops 6 last year, more than 200,000 cheating players have been banned.

Although Call of Duty has one of the largest player base in the multiplayer field, its anti-cheating efforts have been repeatedly criticized.The "slingshot" system is sometimes extremely effective for cheaters, and sometimes even makes them look disgraceful - I still remember the damage value they caused was zeroed after being detected by hackers in War Zone.That was a really pleasing day... However, Call of Duty's free battle royale mode, even paid annual games like Black Ops 6, are often troubled by cheaters, and the "slingshot" system is often slow to react or easily bypassed.

In the first season of Black Ops 6, Activision admitted that, especially after being invaded by cheaters in the qualifying hall, destroying the competitive experience that Call of Duty hardcore players loved, the "slingshot" system "didn't achieve the expected results."

In a new blog post, the Slingshot team stressed that since the release of Black Ops 6 on October 25 last year, they have successfully detected and banned 228,000 cheaters in Black Ops 6 and War Zone.Apparently, 23% of these cheaters were banned before they could play the last game.However, there is still a lot of room for improvement, with some new systems coming out next week at the start of Black Ops 6 season three.While the Slingshot team was unable to share specific details of the new features, they said it would also make improvements to the automatic aim detection system and machine learning system that scans and analyzes gameplay to try to identify players who are cheating.Black Ops 6 ranking players will also receive a refund feature that will return you the lost skill level if your game is affected by a cheater and causes a skill level to drop within two weeks.

To deal with player false alarms (those false alarms will distract from the real cheating allegations), the Death Replay system will add a new user interface component.You see, we all have had this experience.That guy seemed to know your every move and was still waiting for you at the corner.Or you are hit by a precise sniper from afar."He's cheating!" you shouted in disbelief.I've had this situation, too.But this newly added UI component will be able to explain suspicious killing behavior by telling you whether it is affected by certain in-game mechanics such as drones or real-time tags that will make it easier for opponents to kill you.This is expected to reduce the unreasonable cheating reports received by the "slingshot" system due to momentary impulse.

In addition, the "Slingshot" team unexpectedly officially recognized the existence of the "Shadow Closing" hall for the first time.This lobby, known as the “restricted match” lobby, is actually a temporary area for players marked as potential cheaters by the “slingshot” system.During the investigation by the anti-cheat team, these players will be separated from the main player groups and will be placed into these "restricted matching" halls.If it is proven to cheat, it will be banned.If innocent, they will return to regular matching.

"In Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone, accounts in a ‘restricted match’ state account account accounts for less than 0.15% of the total number of players, but teaming up (with shadow banned players) will expand the scope of this group."
