Thousands of Call of Duty fans have woken up to find that they can no longer play Warzone. The popular free-to-play battle royale game is one of the greatest games out there. But in another crackdown, creators Raven Software have banned more than 100,000 Warzone players.
The latest wave of bans is the largest yet, bringing the total number of Warzone players to over 700,000.
In a tweet published earlier this week, Raven Software said the bans affected players caught cheating.
The @RavenSoftware Twitter posted: “Yesterday over 100,000 @CallofDuty accounts were banned – targeting repeat offenders and cheat providers at the source.
“More updates to face #Warzone.”

While speaking with Sin, an Activision spokesperson said repeated violators have been targeted by the latest Warzone bans.
A representative for the gaming giant said: “We will continue to target repeat offenders, as we have previously stated.
“We are developing our programs to ensure repeat offenders do not re-enter Warzone.”
The latest wave of bans comes after Activision said in April that nearly half a million Warzone players had been banned from the game.
In a blog post as the Call of Duty creators explained, “Cheaters are never welcome. To date, our security and enforcement team has issued over 475,000 permabans in Call of Duty: Warzone. Yesterday’s big banwave was our seventh batch of bans featuring high volume since February.
“In addition, our security and enforcement teams also issue daily bans – seven days a week – to individual violations or repeat offenders. The combination of daily bans and large-scale banwaves is an integral focus of our efforts.

“We are also addressing the commercial market of cheat providers and resellers. This includes suspicious accounts, which are cultivated and often sold to repeat offenders. We recently banned 45,000 fraudulent black market accounts used by repeat offenders.
“Removing cheaters and eliminating their ability to access alternate accounts is a key focus for the security teams.”
Activision is also working on a more permanent solution to eradicate cheaters.
The makers of Call of Duty recently revealed that Warzone will be getting a “versatile new anti-cheat system” later this year.
This comes along with a new map that ties into the next main game in the series, Vanguard.
In the future, if you are concerned about having your access to COD revoked, there is one simple thing you can do.
Only play by the rules and avoid unauthorized cheats that give you an unfair advantage and can get your account banned.
