Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Anti-Cheat Measures from Beta Onward

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, as is always the case for every new IP in the popular Activision brand, is preparing for an explosive debut: fans are already champing at the bit, waiting for a first look at the title developed by Treyarch and Raven Software through the Online Beta scheduled for this weekend.

For the occasion, a statement was published on the game's official website informing users about the anti-cheat measures that will be applied from the Beta onward: exactly as happened for its competitor Battlefield 6, PC users for the new CoD will also need to have the updated Secure Boot tool on their platform. This is not an issue for those using the Windows 11 operating system, as the tool is present by default, while those still using W10 or other OS will need to equip it independently.

Furthermore, the Beta will be monitored, as will the final game, by Team Ricochet, tasked with immediately identifying and BANNING users caught activating cheats, regardless of Secure Boot: this is a perma-BAN that will render the account unusable across all games in the series, including Warzone, which will be supported by the same security protocols upon the release of CoD:BO7.

The Online Beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will begin tomorrow, October 2nd, for those who purchased early access and will open publicly on October 5th, until the 8th. The game will be on shelves on November 14th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
