Activision has released more details on what its teams are doing to try to stop cheaters in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 for its upcoming launch this week.
In a blog post, Activision reminded people that they need TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to play Black Ops 7 on PC as the foundation for anti-cheat measures. Activision says this can be thought of as a handshake that tells its Ricochet anti-cheat system about your PC, "I'm legit. Let's play."
The developer said it has "evolved" its machine-learning-based anti-cheat measures with the aim of helping the system become "smarter, faster, and fairer."
"Our aimbot-detection models are trained to decide whether a player’s targeting was performed by a human or an aimbot. In Black Ops 7, these updated models will discriminate between natural aim and cheating with even greater precision by taking what they have learned from real gameplay to catch more cheaters than before," the developer explained.
Beyond aiming, Activison's Ricochet anti-cheat efforts include behavioral models that examine how people play to deduce if they are possibly cheating. "These upgraded models now analyze not just where a player aims, but how they move, how they engage, and how their play changes," Activision said.
As an example, if a player is consistently getting kills on a map at places that aren't usually "hotspots," this can be flagged "for deeper analysis."
"Our pattern recognition is trained on real matches, learning what genuine skill looks like--and recognizing when it's not," Activision said.
Also in the blog post, Activision said some of the new anti-cheat systems for Black Ops 7 that were tested in the multiplayer beta will be "even more effective" when the game launches.
"Our mission is simple: Make every round you play fair. Each Ricochet anti-cheat upgrade means cleaner matches and wins that reflect real skill. You deserve nothing less, and that's our promise to you," Activision said.
Black Ops 7 is available to preload now. For more, check out the Black Ops 7 release times, including details on how to trick your console into thinking it's in New Zealand so you can play early.
