Activision has revealed that more than half of the cheating complaints in Call of Duty: Warzone are directed at console players, despite many of them being unable to use prohibited software due to technical constraints. According to the company, over 60% of cheating accusations reported by the community involve console users. This trend highlights a growing issue where legitimate gameplay features, such as the built-in aim assist designed to help controller users, are often mistaken for cheating behavior like aimbot usage.

To address this problem and improve fairness, the developers are introducing updates to the Killcam feature in Season 3. The revamped system will provide clearer evidence to help players identify genuine cheaters. A recent preview of the changes shows a new field in the Killcam interface that explains how the victim was detected. For instance, details such as unsilenced weapon fire or being marked by an opponent will now be displayed, making it easier to differentiate between normal gameplay and suspicious activity.

This move comes as part of Activision's broader efforts to combat cheating while reducing false accusations. By enhancing transparency and accuracy in reporting mechanisms, the developers hope to foster a more balanced and enjoyable experience for all players. The update aims to ensure that only verified instances of cheating are flagged, protecting innocent players from unwarranted scrutiny. As the gaming community continues to grow, addressing these concerns becomes crucial to maintaining trust and fairness across platforms.
