Call of Duty Faces Backlash for Banning Legitimate Players Due to Anti-Cheat System Failure

Players Upset Over Unfair Bans

Online multiplayer games like Call of Duty are plagued by cheaters who use software to gain an unfair advantage, leading to frustration for legitimate players.

Admission of Banning Legitimate Players

Activision Blizzard, the publisher of Call of Duty, recently admitted to banning "legitimate players" in a wave of bans after the anti-cheat system failed to differentiate between cheaters and honest players.

Player Reactions

Many affected players expressed disappointment with the vague explanation provided by Call of Duty, with some demanding a public apology and further clarification on the situation.

Restoration of Accounts

Although Call of Duty claims to have restored the accounts of legitimate players who were wrongly banned, those who remain banned may not have their accounts reinstated.
