CoD Bans 135K Amid Fan Doubt

Call of Duty faces significant challenges, extending beyond simply dwindling player counts (as observed on SteamDB). Prior to the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's second season, developers addressed their ongoing battle against cheaters, reporting over 136,000 account suspensions since the November 2024 introduction of ranked mode. Further anti-cheat improvements are underway.

Enhanced server configurations were also announced, promising improved connection stability. However, this positive outlook is met with skepticism. Leading content creators are publicly questioning these claims, and Reddit discussions reveal widespread player dissatisfaction with perceived minimal improvements to server quality and matchmaking.

Player burnout is palpable, with community resentment directed towards SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) and EOMM (Engagement Optimized Matchmaking). This erosion of trust is a serious concern, and Activision's ability to effectively address it remains uncertain.
