Many of the complaints surround cheating, as a number of accounts use mods to make the game easier and give them an unfair advantage. These mods include things like showing you the locations of the opposing team, or giving you improved aim on weapons. As there are ranked modes in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, this means that people can fail to meet these ranks because of those using additional software.

The official Call of Duty updates Twitter account recently announced that 65k accounts have been banned from the game. The tweet reads: “The Ricochet Anti-Cheat team has now purged the Ranked Play leaderboards in both Call of Duty: Warzone and MW3, banning accounts for cheating and boosting. “Team Ricochet has accelerated cheat vendor enforcements resulting in over 65k account bans across Ranked Play and non-Ranked modes in Warzone and MW3 this week.

“The team will continue to monitor and issue enforcements to anyone cheating or boosting in all game modes.” Most read in Gaming ATTACK HORROR Girl raped in early hours attack at .
