Taking Out The Trash With Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
As Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 gears up for its official launch on November 14, Activision is rolling out its most advanced anti-cheat measures yet, and this is fantastic news. Starting with the Beta, which begins on October 2 for Early Access and opens to all players on October 5.
Led by #TeamRICOCHET, the game’s anti-cheat initiative has spent the past year training upgraded machine learning systems on millions of gameplay hours from Black Ops 6. These smarter, faster systems are designed not just to catch cheaters, but to set a new standard in fair play.
The Beta requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled on PC, marking a major shift in system requirements. These features, combined with new remote verification technology, help create a secure environment that blocks modified hardware and unauthorized software. Players without these features enabled won’t be able to participate in the Beta or the full game at launch.
Enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot now to be ready on Day One
Throughout the Beta, RICOCHET’s new detection tools will run in the background, gathering real-time data, testing machine learning models, and removing cheaters as they appear. Accounts banned during the Beta will face permanent bans across all Call of Duty titles.
Players can find step-by-step setup guides for TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, tailored for the most common PC motherboards, on the official Call of Duty site.
