## Key points

- Activision is publicly pursuing Call of Duty cheat sellers through legal action.
- It claims hundreds of reseller disruptions and dozens of vendor shutdowns.
- Anti-cheat measures reportedly improved during the Modern Warfare 4 beta.

## Summary

Activision has publicised footage of alleged Call of Duty cheat-makers being served legal papers, signalling a more visible legal campaign against companies and individuals selling cheating software. The move matters because the publisher is combining its RICOCHET Anti-Cheat technology with legal action to disrupt the commercial networks that produce and distribute cheats.

Activision says it has disrupted more than 375 cheat-reseller operations, issued over 80 cease-and-desist demands and shut down more than 30 vendors, with further litigation possible. Following the Modern Warfare 4 beta, it also claimed lower cheat “infection” rates across millions of matches, tougher-to-evade hardware bans and faster enforcement, although cheating remains an ongoing problem.
