"CoD Bans 135,000 Accounts, Fans Remain Skeptical"

Author : Eleanor Apr 18,2025

Call of Duty is currently navigating challenging times, and it's not solely due to a dip in player numbers, as indicated by SteamDB data. As the second season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 approaches, the developers have provided updates on their ongoing battle against cheating. Since the introduction of the ranked mode in November 2024, they've taken action by suspending over 136,000 accounts. The team is also committed to continuously enhancing their anti-cheat systems.

In addition to tackling cheating, the developers have announced enhancements to server configurations, aiming to improve connection quality for a smoother gaming experience.

However, these assurances have not been met with widespread optimism. The situation is dire when even well-known content creators publicly challenge the developers' claims, and Reddit threads are brimming with posts from players who report no tangible improvements in server quality or matchmaking.

Player fatigue with Call of Duty is palpable, and terms like SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) and EOMM (Engagement Optimized Matchmaking) have turned into sources of frustration within the community. This erosion of trust is starkly evident, leaving it uncertain how, or even if, Activision will manage to restore faith among its player base.
