A Reddit thread published earlier this week documents dozens of players facing MW2 false bans. How do we know they’re false, you ask? Well, in some cases the players in question claim they’ve never even played multiplayer!
“I got banned 5 hours before the multiplayer release from the open beta,” PatchesBC explained in the aforementioned thread.
Reddit user Kayex chimed in with his brother’s experience, directly calling out Ricochet:
And if you’re thinking that it has something to do with those who played the beta, think again. It’s even occurring to many who never even installed it. DirtyMUNKY76 said:
I hope activision admits to the issue rather than continuing to brag about how many “cheaters” have been banned by ricochet.
I hope it doesn’t happen to me as I’m already 20 hours in D:“
A quick look on Twitter and we’re seeing more of the same complaints, too:
Something definitely isn’t right, and yet from what we can tell so far, Activision has been silent on the issue. There are Modern Warfare 2 false bans plastered all over the internet, but there’s not even an official response, let alone a solution.
We’ll keep tabs on the matter and update this article if and when we hear more.
Until then, read our Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 review and hear about why we think it’s rather mediocre even if you survive the game’s false bans.
