FULL STORY
======================================================================

While theres no doubt that most Call of Duty fans will be laser-focused on 
the newly released Modern Warfare 3 today, the CoD dev team has issued an 
update on its RICOCHET: Anti-Cheat measures and has announced some fun new 
mitigation strategies for Warzone . 

In a blog post published yesterday (November 9), the latest, obvious 
anti-cheat trick was revealed, and its called Splat. This delivers quite 
literally what it says on the tin, and takes out verified cheaters quickly 
from matches, in one fell swoop. 

With Splat, if a cheater is discovered, we may randomly, and for fun, disable 
their parachute, sending them careening into the ground after they deploy, 
the blog post reads. 

But what if we catch them after theyve deployed? Well, Splat can also adjust 
player velocity, which transforms a bunny hop into a 10,000-foot drop, taking 
them out instantly. This is one of many new tricks weve developed  and well 
talk about more in the future. 

The blog post also reassures players that this silly mitigation measure cant 
kick in for anyone whos not been verified to be cheating - it cant be 
activated by mistake, or as a direct result of player reports. 

While its fun to annoy cheaters that make it into games, our aim is to 
prevent them from ever getting near a match, the post continues. Prevention 
is key to the continued evolution of RICOCHET: Anti-Cheat. 

Its worth noting that the post didnt say that these latest measures will be 
included in Modern Warfare 3 . In the latest first-person shooter (FPS), 
cheaters in multiplayer can expect to be hit with pre-existing mitigation 
measures such as Cloaking (which stops cheaters from being able to see 
opposing players) and 'Damage Shield' (which disables cheaters critical 
damage, making them vulnerable to other players).
