The latest update from Team RICOCHET in their work to fend off cheaters in the game reiterated the new way to cut these gamers off, and it is by shutting down the Call of Duty program immediately. With the new Anti-Cheating system for Call of Duty's Modern Warfare III and Warzone 2.0, gamers that utilize any form of aim assist program, software, or mod would be automatically kicked out.
In this new system, Call of Duty is revamping ways to keep cheaters off the FPS game, with its latest update making sure that they are kept away.
Call of Duty's Anti-Cheating System Update Shuts the Game Down

According to the latest post from Call of Duty Updates via X, Team RICOCHET is enforcing a new anti-cheating system that updates its previous tactics to weed out the grifters present in the game. The new way to kick out cheaters in this latest update centers on shutting down the game immediately if detected by the system by using aim assist programs or the like.
However, this new update only centers on those on the PC, especially those using a mouse and keyboard for their peripherals.
This new system applies to the current version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare III and Warzone 2.0, but many gamers expressed their negative reactions, especially as the problem of wallhacks is still rampant.
🛡️ #Warzone#MW3#MW2#TeamRICOCHET: Our security detection systems now target players using tools to activate aim assist while using a mouse and keyboard. The Call of Duty application will close if detected.
Repeated use of these tools may lead to further account action.
Team RICOCHET: What Happens to Repeating Offenders?
In Team RICHOCHET's post, this game shutdown will happen once cheating systems are deployed by gamers, but they can still relaunch Call of Duty after it closes. They did not reveal if there would be a temporary restriction on their game access, but addressed the repeat offenders caught using this hack, as the team would reprimand them with "further account action," speculated to be temporary suspensions or, worst case, a permanent ban.
Call of Duty's Fight Against Cheaters and Modders
Activision Blizzard, Raven Software, Infinity Ward, Team RICOCHET, and more involved with Call of Duty have a strict no-cheating policy in the game, especially as it gives an unfair advantage to various experiences present. That being said, Call of Duty has enforced massive safeguards and actions against these, being creative with what will happen to those caught doing so.
Back in MWII and Warzone 2.0's run last year, cheating players were given "hallucinations" or ghost players that would appear and disorient them.
Another popular anti-cheat system placed by the company is upon infil, the game would take away their guns and limit their chances of surviving and going against honest players.
There is also the popular "Splat" feature where the system would cut the parachutes off a cheater when they enter the game, falling to the deaths of their operator right at the match's start. However, Team RICOCHET seems to have had enough of these cheating players, especially those who use aim assist with their mouse and keyboard, as it will straight up close the game and give repercussions to repeat offenders.
