Activision has banned more than 300,000 players from CoD Warzone – Gaming – News

Hardware bans are a bit better, but can also be avoided by handy guys.

Hardware bans are a horse remedy.
If you then buy a video card on the marketplace, you also have to watch out for it. And of course you cannot check that in advance because there is no central register for this and each tent will keep its own list and own interpretations.
And how do you deal with false positives.

Anti-cheat is simply a matter of good software on the one hand and manpower on the other to actually view all those notifications that your automatic cheater detection does not catch.
The latter in particular is of course just a matter of money.

There are almost no shooters on the PC anymore that you can play without ruining the atmosphere by children with hacks. While that used to be my favorite genre to play.

Broadly speaking, I think it is fairly exaggerated how many cheaters are really active. It is very often suggested that games have become virtually unplayable, but that is a very little bit of nonsense.
Having been active in Tarkov for a while, the forum is also overflowing with reports, but it is also difficult to find a real cheater among all the latency / game bug noise and people who just can’t stand their loss.

Furthermore, that is of course also a bit of the Achilles heel of PC gaming. In any case with regard to random matches.
People can just run software in the background and there is little you can do against that.

I think the solution should be more sought after in private play if you really pull it hard.
If you have internal social control, the chances of a cheater in your ranks diminish drastically because people under a personal stamp are pretty fucked up and the chances that someone will get you is higher.

Or activision should not beep and hire an army of people who will just manually study cheater reports.
