Activision has released new anti-cheat tools for the Call of Duty series that can detect when third-party hardware devices are attached to a person's setup.
In a blog post, Activision said such devices can give players the ability to gain an unfair advantage by way of reducing or completing eliminating weapon recoil, among other things. Following a testing period, Activision has now deployed the new hardware detection update in Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0. Anyone suspected to be cheating by way of a third-party hardware device on PC or console will see a warning page (see below) before potentially more serious action is taken.
Don't be a jerk
Anyone who continues to use such devices after the warning could face harsher penalties like an additional warning, "mitigations," an account suspension, or a total ban.
