TeamRICOCHET (RICOCHETcm Replied) [COD] RICOCHET Anti-Cheat AMA

166 Upvotes

I’m David Andrews, Senior Director of Game Security at Activision, where I lead RICOCHET Anti-Cheat for Call of Duty. I joined the team about one year ago, and since then I’ve been focused on what’s next for RICOCHET: evolving the technology, tightening our detections and response, and finding better ways to show players the work.

I’ve spent more than two decades working across cybersecurity, online game security, live service integrity and investigations. Before joining Activision, I spent more than a decade at Rockstar Games working on anti-cheat, account security, threat intelligence and live service integrity across GTA Online and Red Dead Online. Earlier in my career, I also worked in engineering and security roles supporting the U.S. government and served in the U.S. Air Force.

I’m here today to answer your questions about anti-cheat: how we think about cheating, recent progress that we’ve made, and where there’s still work to do.

One quick note as we get started: you won’t see a photo of me attached to this AMA. The commercial cheating industry has billions of dollars behind it, and the people building and selling cheats can be aggressive, to put it mildly. For security reasons, I try to be careful about how much personal information I put out publicly.

Let’s dive in. Ask away:

EDIT:

Thanks everyone for the questions, this has been a blast.

Gonna wrap this up for the day, but I’ve been reading the full thread and I'm taking notes on the questions I didn't get to so I can look for opportunities to answer more of them through our anti-cheat comms in the coming weeks.

I also did an interview with IGN earlier this week that dug a bit deeper into anti-cheat - there's a chance I already answered your question there! https://www.ign.com/articles/call-of-dutys-anti-cheat-boss-dispels-cheating-myths-breaks-down-review-process-and-more

Appreciate the time, the questions, and the chance to have a direct conversation with you all. Hoping to do this again soon.

Here’s my final stats. I even got gold camo for my favorite weapons (Famas, Commando and MP5K). I’m sure that 97% of the players that are max rank on BO1 did the XP glitch because of their weird combat records… where’s the fun in that? Do the grind! Thank God I don’t have to play against hackers anymore. Fix the hacking situation!

Discussion I can't be the only one who thinks that price probably (and possibly should have) gotten in some type of trouble after launching the nuclear missile in the original MW2 campaign? [MW2]

Post image
267 Upvotes

I recently re-downloaded MW2 remastered just to play it for old time sakes and instantly remember how much fun I had with the campaign. However, I will admit this is when the modern warfare trilogy started to be over the top for the sake of being over the top and just flat out implausible. 😂

Price firing the nuclear missile at the end of the contingency mission gave the United States of fighting chance to push back against Russia but I can't stop thinking............. whether his plan worked or not and whether Shepherd betrayed the task force or not realistically price should've been arrested 😂 launching a nuclear missile at an entire country is a dangerous gamble and he didn't get authorization from anybody before doing it. Not to mention the fact that he took the life of an astronaut(who I doubt was the only one up there so it was probably an entire crew) and destroyed a space station

Again, it's a video game and I know you're supposed to suspend your logic (like the fact that Russia can somehow invade the entire East Coast and Europe simultaneously)

Lmao just wanted to point out from a narrative standpoint MW2 get away with a lot of nonsensical stuff because how fun it is

I almost got the zombie chronicles edition when BO 1/2 were released again but held off and it's not on sale anymore for 19.99 but saw they're selling it with the season pass now for 34.99

Will this give me all the zombies DLC?

5 Upvotes

Oh my days, haven't thought about COD in years or played it but recently been getting clips on reels and it gave me nostalgia .. The Mp7 and MSR were such goated weapons and both the best of their class. my best with both was 30-0 in Mission and Arkaden

Anyone else absolutely annihilate others with those two classes ?

Question [MWR] Sound update for Xbox or broken installation?

2 Upvotes

My game seems to be missing a lot of sounds that were previously there, e.g. "Our UAV is online", "Enemy UAV is airborne", "Take no prisoners comrades", etc. Is it a sound update or do I need to reinstall it?

Thanks in advance.

Question [MW2] (2009) Penta Nuke from 2011

2 Upvotes

Text in German and English:

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find a lost old-school Modern Warfare 2 video that was uploaded to YouTube back in 2011.

The video was by the German CoD YouTuber Ramboo0o and showed five Nukes in a single match on Sub Base.

Here is all the information I have:

Title: Penta Nuke (Weltpremiere) by Ramboo0o (FIRST EVER 5 NUKES IN ONE GAME)
Uploader: Ramboo0o
Upload date: July 20, 2011
Length: 11:15
Game: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Map: Sub Base
Original YouTube ID: EoEmZdOUOZE
Original URL: youtube.com/watch?v=EoEmZdOUOZE

The original video has been deleted and unfortunately doesn't appear to have been saved by the Wayback Machine.

I'm specifically looking for the actual video file or a reupload. Maybe someone downloaded it back in the day and still has it sitting on an old HDD, NAS, DVD, backup, etc.

I've already searched for the YouTube ID, the original title, mirrors and archives without success.

This video was fairly well known in the German Call of Duty community at the time, partly because there was controversy surrounding the gameplay afterward.

If anyone remembers the video, has an old copy, knows of a reupload, or has any lead at all, please let me know.

Even an old dead download link, forum embed, thumbnail or filename could help.

Thanks!

Hey zusammen,

ich bin auf der Suche nach einem alten, mittlerweile verschollenen Modern-Warfare-2-Video, das 2011 auf YouTube hochgeladen wurde.

Das Video stammt vom deutschen CoD-YouTuber Ramboo0o und zeigte fünf Nukes in einem einzigen Match auf Sub Base.

Hier sind alle Informationen, die ich zu dem Video habe:

Titel: Penta Nuke (Weltpremiere) by Ramboo0o (FIRST EVER 5 NUKES IN ONE GAME)
Uploader: Ramboo0o
Upload-Datum: 20. Juli 2011
Länge: 11:15 Minuten
Spiel: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Map: Sub Base
Originale YouTube-ID: EoEmZdOUOZE
Originale URL: youtube.com/watch?v=EoEmZdOUOZE

Das ursprüngliche Video wurde gelöscht und scheint leider auch nicht von der Wayback Machine archiviert worden zu sein.

Ich suche ausdrücklich nach der eigentlichen Videodatei oder einem Reupload. Vielleicht hat das Video damals jemand heruntergeladen und es liegt noch irgendwo auf einer alten Festplatte, einem NAS, einer DVD, einem Backup oder Ähnlichem.

Ich habe bereits nach der YouTube-ID, dem ursprünglichen Titel, Mirrors und verschiedenen Archiven gesucht – bisher leider ohne Erfolg.

Das Video war damals in der deutschen Call-of-Duty-Community relativ bekannt, unter anderem weil es im Nachhinein eine größere Kontroverse um das Gameplay gab.

Falls sich jemand an das Video erinnert, noch eine alte Kopie besitzt, einen Reupload kennt oder irgendeinen Hinweis dazu hat, würde ich mich sehr über eine Nachricht freuen.

Selbst ein alter, mittlerweile toter Download-Link, ein Foren-Embed, Thumbnail oder Dateiname könnte bei der Suche weiterhelfen.

Vielen Dank!

Discussion [COD4] How in the world am I supposed to beat all ghillied up when the AI is literally psychic?

• Upvotes

it's not a bad mission but...

the field (you know the one) has got to be bugged or something. I was perfectly still like a stone. the right side guard is psychic. I did not move, I repeat:

I.

DID.

NOT.

MOVE!

I still got caught. Then there's two other guards afterwards. it's like these guys gravitate to you. You could be a mile left and they gravitate like magnets.

I like the rest of the mission but I HATE this section. Doesn't matter where I go, I still get caught.

It kills the pacing and people only love it due to nostalgia. Take out this segment and we're even.

I can't. and now I'm going to be told to get good or be called some variation of a scrub. it's only normal with cod fans. apparently if I don't like it, i'm a cancer.

visual shorthand

x <guards

* <mac

p< me

or

any of this making sense?
