Call of Duty team banned over 135,000 accounts, but fans are sceptical

Call of Duty faces significant challenges, extending beyond simply dwindling player counts (as evidenced by SteamDB). Ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's second season launch, developers announced a crackdown on cheaters, boasting over 136,000 account suspensions since the November 2024 ranked mode introduction. Further anti-cheat enhancements are underway.

Simultaneously, server infrastructure improvements are promised, aiming for enhanced connection stability.

Yet, skepticism abounds. Leading content creators publicly doubt these claims, and Reddit discussions reflect widespread player dissatisfaction with perceived minimal improvements to server quality and matchmaking.

Player burnout is palpable, with SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) and EOMM (Engagement Optimized Matchmaking) becoming community pariahs. This erosion of trust is undeniable, and Activision's ability to rectify the situation remains uncertain.
