Another 50,000 cheaters were banned from Call of Duty: Warzone last week | KitGuru
 
This follows on from a story in May, where Raven Software confirmed that it has banned over 500,000 accounts from Warzone. Since earlier this year, ban waves have been taking place more frequently, with two happening last week alone. During those two ban waves, another 50,000 cheaters had their accounts banned.
 
Interestingly, repeat offenders were a specific target during this ban wave, although a number of first-time bans were also issued.
Activision recently put a stop to a machine-learning assisted cheat that would have enabled auto-aim and auto-fire on consoles, in addition to PC. The cheat would have worked by analysing game footage and sending input commands to automatically target and shoot opposing players.
 
I hope this is a lesson learned from the gamers that were ban, but since some of those were repeat offenders then obviously lessons were not learned.

    If they actually care then the numbers wouldn’t be this small.

    This could be done weekly and it'd be the same number of hackers.....  it's sad.

    What frustrates me is the concept “wait so we catch more cheaters” rather than “ban immediately so we discourage cheaters from even trying” obviously they are hoping people spend their cash to buy battle packs and such, but I still hate the concept of waiting.

    Cheater's discourage allot of players.

    +1 Hacks killing the fun factor.
     
    Hoping this is a weekly [or daily] thing. You can probably bet they will return.

    You are probably right, they want to milk the cash cow.  Do you immediately ban people permanently (would be my choice) and possible drop a percentage of revenue?
     
    When I play games, it is single player only; though I wonder sometimes if the AI shouldn't be banned for cheating.
