Speaking of cheating, Activision announces it has been hard at work banning
toxic users from
Call of Duty: Warzone, the free-to-play battle
royale. In concert with these efforts is an updated
Code of Conduct explaining the
company's stances on toxicity and unfair play. This presents core values which
one would hope most players would follow naturally: "Treat everyone with
respect, compete with integrity, and stay vigilant." There's more on the victims
claimed by the banhammer in
this blog post:
We know addressing toxicity requires a 24/7 sustained
effort. Since our last Call of Duty® community update, our enforcement and
anti-toxicity teams have continued to progress, including scrubbing our global
player database to remove toxic users.
- 500,000 accounts banned to date
- 300,000 accounts renamed since launching our automated filtering systems
- Added additional languages for in-game, text-based chat and name
creation moderation bringing the total to 14 languages*
