Call of Duty cheaters complain after Activision launches new wave of mass-bans
The video game giant banned an unknown number of cheaters that were using one of the oldest-running cheats.
Video game streamer ItsHapa wrote on X last week that Call of Duty players using ArtificialAiming, a cheat provider of more than 19 years, were the targets of a “massive wave of permabans,” referring to bans that cannot be reversed, which prevents cheaters from creating new accounts. The streamer also posted a series of screenshots from the private forum where users of ArtificialAiming’s cheat, particularly the one for 2024’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6,lamented the bans. Neil Wood, a spokesperson for Activision, the video game publisher behind the Call of Duty series, confirmed to TechCrunch that there was a round of account bans, and not just against users of the ArtificialAiming cheat.
