CoD Team Faces Ban Wave of 135k Accounts Amid Fan Doubts

by Alexis Feb 12,2025

Call of Duty faces significant challenges, extending beyond simply dwindling player counts (as evidenced by SteamDB data). Prior to the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's second season, developers released updates detailing their ongoing battle against cheaters. Since the November 2024 introduction of ranked mode, over 136,000 accounts have been suspended, with anti-cheat efforts continuing.

Further updates include server configuration improvements, aimed at enhancing connection stability.

However, this positive outlook is met with skepticism. Leading content creators are openly questioning the developers' claims, and Reddit threads express widespread player dissatisfaction with perceived lack of improvement in server quality and matchmaking.

Player burnout is significant within the Call of Duty community, with terms like SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) and EOMM (Engagement Optimized Matchmaking) becoming widely criticized. This erosion of trust is undeniable, and Activision's ability to rectify the situation remains uncertain.
