Call of Duty has faced ongoing issues with hackers and cheaters in recent years, mostly on the PC platform. Cheating has also been observed on consoles, and there are reports of cheat makers planning to release hacks for Modern Warfare 3 on multiple platforms.
Activision Blizzard Inc ATVI aims to address this with its new anti-cheat system called Ricochet.
This system employs various tactics to combat cheating, such as using fake enemies and stealing cheaters' guns.
The recent addition of Ricochet involves displaying notifications in the game's kill feed and notifying lobbies when a problematic player has been removed from the game.
The Modern Warfare 3 beta might be the final PlayStation exclusive, as Microsoft Corp MSFT is nearing the completion of its $69 billion acquisition of parent company Activision Blizzard.
The game is set to launch on various platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S on Nov. 10.
