Call of Duty cheaters might get the time of the day now, but not in a good way, as Activision left an ominous message that suggests stricter anti-cheat measures soon.
Activision dropped an enigmatic message on Twitter today, telling Call of Duty cheaters “see you tomorrow.” The tweet also rants on how much the game values its player base, complete with a tone of frustration with every sentence. We are yet to see what the publisher will actually do.
Activision goes on a melodramatic rant
Call of Duty has become one of the most toxic communities due to rampant cheating. Warzone and Black Ops Cold War are becoming a cesspool full of cheaters and Activision knows about it. They have been on the hunt for a while but it’s a losing battle for the devs.

Now, it seems the studio has another ace up their sleeve as they release a message to all cheaters in the game. A Twitter post threatens cheaters about a potential reckoning.
“Dear cheaters, we love games. It’s our passion,” said the seemingly melodramatic message. “We’re honored to make games for the greatest fans in the world. We don’t always get it right, but we’re committed to doing our best.”
“Cheating ruins the fun for everyone. No one likes a cheater. Our goal is to deliver a fun and fair gaming experience. For our developers. For our fans. And most importantly… for Call of Duty players everywhere. Cheaters aren’t welcome. There’s no tolerance for cheaters, and soon you’ll know what we mean.”
Nobody knows what changes will happen to Call of Duty
Call of Duty cheaters mostly does not care what Activision thinks or what are they passionate about. The message feels a little too mushy but it’s a step in the right direction. What the studio will do remains a mystery for the general player base.
The reaction to their message is generally positive from the looks of it. Then again, we still don’t know what changes Activision will do now. Many are even questioning the reliability of the message and what else will Activision do.
Cheating is the most rampant issue of most online multiplayer titles, including most FPS games out there. Battlefield 2042, for example, has rampant cheaters even if it’s mostly a new game that’s not even out yet. Titanfall also experiences the same problems.
With Activision’s new anti-cheat system not coming until Vanguard next year, the big question is what comes tomorrow? Will it be a big ban wave? Or a massive change in the system? Call of Duty cheaters will find that out soon.
