When Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launched in November, one of the big changes for PC players was an upgraded Ricochet anti-cheat. One of its requirements was TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled to be able to play the game.
Fast-forward to Season 01 which launches at 9am Pacific today, December 4, and Call of Duty's free to play battle royale, Warzone, is catching up.
Credit to Activision for the planned tool to help its players more easily verify they can play. But equally, since it was advertised ahead of Black Ops 7 this was going to be a thing, I can't help but feel it should have been ready by now?
In any case, the overall result should be positive. Right from the Black Ops 7 beta, the number of cheaters getting through was minimal. It's a constant cat and mouse game, but the early days of Black Ops 7 have been pretty good.
Of course, Warzone as a free-to-play title, is always going to be a significant target for these people who seem to think that cheating to fake being good at a video game somehow gives their lives meaning. More so than Black Ops 7, I feel like we'll get a feel quite quickly for how good Ricochet is now when the new version is in Warzone.
