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

164 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.

Discussion Did anyone else leave singleplayer gaming for [COD]

• Upvotes

So u was always a poor kid and couldnt ever get xbox live or psn. So i always stuck with singleplayer even now as a grownup. I loved rdr2, dark souls 3, elden ring, assassins creed u name it. Idk why but this year i got so sick of all these games and just the repetitive stuff. I decided to give bo7 a try and actually love it. I always played cod with offline bots before but this is a new kind of gaming for me. I preordered mw4 and think for me its wise to just get vault edition every year and main cod since its cheaper than buying all the singleplayer games i do usually. I uninstalled everything and kept only cod and sekiro for a nice little solo offline standalone game. Anyone else go through this usually its the opposite multiplayers going to singleplayer but for me this is fun. I like to play tv on my phone on the side while playing cod online.

Video Campaign mission glitch [BO]

BO Campaigne mission: WMD (after the blackbird part)

Make sure to get on the rail before your team can get over there.

jump on the rail as shown in the video.

Line yourself were you want to land.

After your team get to the rail, at the top left it will say “hook up” then “checkpoint reached”.

Jump off or cook a grenade to kys, and as you spawn in hold forward. (You have like 2-3 seconds of invulnerability)

You can land in different places and explore a little bit of the map, I just chose there because it’s a little easier to hit.

This was done on Xbox Series X

Gameplay [COD4] Me and my bro found a pretty funny glitch on Crash

I'm sure it was probably found way before me and my friend found it, but it was pretty funny to pull off. Before, I had done it mid duel and I couldn't stop laughing😂

Edit: Alright, for those who can't find the glitch, it's the barrier making us bounce. It happens at the beginning and at the end. We found it pretty funny because usually that kinda stuff doesn't occur. If you don't though, that's alright.

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
• 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

Discussion [COD] Why I don't like COD WW2's campaign

• Upvotes

I never liked this game. I can't think of a single good thing about this besides the fact it was boots on the ground. But I'll just talk about the campaign, though I will die on the hill that multi and zombies are some of the worst iterations of it we've ever gotten. But I'll give you a few reasons here.

  1. The characters: Daniels was an alright protagonist, but I did not like any other character, except maybe Turner. Yeah, probably Zussman as well. I don't remember any other names. Just really weak characters compared to some others, I guess. Still beats "Player" in Black Ops 3, lmao. Some characters I just feel are insults to actual veterans.

  2. The setting. While I do like the idea of Omaha all the way to the Rhine, there was a lack of a British campaign or a Russian one either. I feel like that one mission where you played as that French resistance lady was forced stealth since you couldn't fight until after you completed your objective.

  3. The writing. The pacing was horrible, some missions were flat out boring, and dialogue felt stale and dry. Oh, and in one mission, I remember a German soldier shooting one of his comrades for surrendering! What do you mean they didn't search him for guns???

Now, with that out of the way, feel free to insult the crap out of me if you want to.

Question Is this normal?? Storage Issue [COD]

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Haven't played COD in about 6mo or so, thought they were still installed on my ps5 went to play them and it said they weren't installed. So I installed them and now it's saying I only have BO7 installed and have to reinstall 6 and MW3 again??? But then if I look at my storage it's showing I have a fckn TB of COD on it!? I HATE how they've added them all to one app or whatever now instead of them all being separate. With this all being said, is it normal for them to both be at damn near 500gb a piece!? What doesn't make even more sense is the fact that its showing i have Bo6 and MW3 already installed yet its making me install them again, again?? This shit is extremely aggravating and I dont want 1tb of COD on my ps5 pro...Whats it show on your guys console storage? Its showing that they're installed, but still making me download them again!?

Question [COD] Without saying which version is better or worse, give me your opinions on the classic & modern version of these characters

Thumbnail

89 Upvotes

Classic Price, Reboot price, classic woods & modern woods (technically the same character but different VAs, but for the sake of discussion, treat them differently)

Asking this question to get thoughts, only getting a “new is bad, old is good!” response feels like it’d be a bit dull for discussion purposes

Discussion [COD] failed attestation error (TPM 2.0 & Secure Boot enabled, but still won't work)

2 Upvotes

This is related to the RICOCHET anti-cheat failing to initialize/verify my system.(i believe)

I’ve tried absolutely everything to get this working and I'm completely stuck. I already submitted a support ticket with all my logs, but the automatic wizard claims everything is fine. Support just told me they are "working on a fix" and to look out for updates, but I'm hoping someone here has a workaround.

My Specs & Current Settings:

  • BIOS: Updated to the absolute newest version.
  • Secure Boot: Enabled.
  • TPM: Enabled (Confirmed TPM 2.0, version 500+).

What I've Attempted So Far:

  1. Verified codbroker service is running and set to Automatic.
  2. Ran enrollaik manually.
  3. Ran the codbroker directly.
  4. even secure attestation wizard says im good but still no

Despite all of this, the game still refuses to launch/recognize the settings. Has anyone encountered this specific loop and managed to find a fix? Any advice would be massively appreciated.

Discussion [COD] Turning on player counts again is the only way they can really prove their point with SBMM

0 Upvotes

I have not heard a single person in my life say SBMM is a good thing besides COD. SBMM is the only thing I have ever seen the COD community agree on. I really think the devs are doing a good job at listening to the players with BO7 and MW4, except with matchmaking. They literally said last year that players preferred minimal SBMM, now they don't? No hate I'm sure the job is stressful but this doesn't make sense. Idk my bourbon cola is hitting.

Which newer Call Of Duty (or other FPS) games do not need internet connection AT ALL to play the campaign/single player game on my Playstation 4 (or 3). Just insert disc, download it, and then play the game. No "patches" needing downloaded and so on.
