All this should be enought for a good investigation of this person at least?

Previous threads and examples were forwarded at that time and investigations occurred. When I forward a thread or when a report in-game is sent, an investigation occurs per our Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Security & Enforcement Policy. I will forward this thread as well for an additional measure, but in-game reports are the preferred method of reporting.

In the future, please tag me in the comments too. Tagging in the body of the post doesn't always commit.

u/FoxhoundFPS could you please take a look if you have a moment?

Thank you for the tag.

Doesn’t do any good to post this. Ppl post videos of hackers all the time and nothing is ever done. They say they do things about it but that’s why Xbox and strange are still playing. Same with raky (now TUNSi)

While we encourage and suggest in-game reporting at all times, players who share video evidence of their allegations have it shared directly with the team that manages our policy enforcement and investigations.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the report.

Tagging u/FoxhoundFPS

Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks you!

Feel free to tag me on Twitter if you're going to use that platform. It's the same as here.

I did but what’s that gonna do 🤷‍♂️

It'll send all of the relevant information to our studio to perform an investigation in accordance with our Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Security & Enforcement Policy. Reporting in-game is always the best course of action to take when someone is doing something to the effect of griefing.

Please get that goon banned

Thank you for the tag.

Edit: I didn't see "Please get that goon banned."

OP states they have reported in-game and that will be utilized to perform an investigation. Threads like this are precarious because it doesn't show the full context of the match. In this video, we see the OP clearly being attacked but also attacking/provoking back. In a scenario of "take my word over theirs" with an edited video, there is a credible margin of error. How do we solve that? By investigating to remain objective and that's what will happen.

I'm going to recommend that the moderators close this thread because of this exact possibility.

With the weapon inspect to soak it all in. Nice and congrats!

Hey u/FoxhoundFPS could you take a look at this case? Sorry for bothering you during Christmas 😊

Thank you for the tag. This player has already been reported, but I will send this along as well.

Regarding Holiday: My holiday is definitely in full swing and I will be AFK for a few days.

/u/FoxhoundFPS Just wanted to make you aware this video is of a different player named xbox. He plays regularly with Strange and uses the same cheat program. With my regards. D

Honestly, this really isn't on Treyarch, this is simply the nature of PC gaming. There pretty much always has been and will very likely always will be similar cheating on PC games. Just because the services are still available does not mean nothing has been done on their end. At the end of the day as soon as a fix is implemented in game, a workaround will be created to get the bot/script/cheat, etc back up and running.

The same type of stuff exists for Modern Warfare and damn near every other PC game around. If you know where to look you can find scripts for something as high profile as LoL. The harsh truth is cheating in PC games is not going anywhere anytime soon. It is what it is.

The history of humanity in the smallest package possible. Someone builds something and someone else will try to break or exploit it. A fix is established and that fix is investigated to attempt to circumvent it. A tale as old as time.

We monitor, we investigate, and we enforce. The cat/mouse game is always in play.

Even if you aren't a PC player, just by looking at this subreddit feed, you can notice that PC cheaters are ruining the few games we can still get, and the reports are always increasing.

I did a quick research to find out where these cheaters get their stuff from, which lead to a public forum in which I took the screenshot above. This dude is _selling_ a PC hack for a monthly fee since october 2018, and he still is.

I don't want to blame anyone, and I'm tagging /u/FoxhoundFPS & /u/ATVIAssist just for visibility. I'm a developer myself and I get that things like anti-cheats can take time to improve. But I'm a bit shocked that a cheat findable in a public post in a public forum (with 950+ post interactions) is not noticed by Treyarch. This dude (and others, I guess) are literally getting paid by ruining your game and your (paying) players experience.

I reported to Treyarch this user and post privately 2 months ago, but by the looks of it, nothing has been done.

Please upvote for visibility, PC playerbase deserve to, at least, play the remaining life the game still has. Doing nothing will make it die sooner.

Doing nothing will make it die sooner.

This has never been the case. Any and all information you have sent to us has been forwarded to the appropriate teams and we're actively monitoring and enforcing.

The constant "they don't do anything" or "they don't care" approach you take across most of your posts is exactly why I distance my engagements with you. There are only so many positive engagements I can take with someone who consistently asserts that "nothing" is done before I simply stop engaging. You've certainly reached that point.

Have a good day, /u/aur0n.

Responding to this one since it's first in the chain.

  • Thank you for sharing these videos. I'll forward them to our team.
  • Make sure you're reporting in-game too. Reporting in-game supplies us with all necessary information immediately to perform investigations.
  • Let's try to keep reports like this, multi-part / multi-perspective / multi-reports, into a single thread for context. Though we don't manage this space, I could see where you're likely breaking some form of frequency guideline. Let's make it easy for everyone involved.

A common, but incorrect assessment. There's also no video here.

I too have played COD since COD1 and was a fan until BO1 when I effectively joined Activision. The system works and has improved over every title, but investigations take time because the goal is to make the right decision. The process of investigations through a queue becomes lost on those who browse any forum and see a blatant violation of our policies/terms. The swift answer to that is that if they have been reported, then they are in the queue and will receive an investigation. Any additional forwarding on my part is a simple courtesy to move the evidence straight to the team. As I have stated here and before, commentary on an investigation to action is a fair criticism but does not render reporting ineffective.

Reporting in-game is a default action one should always take if any policy/term violations are suspected or alleged. We have banned far more players through in-game reporting and routine enforcement than any...

TKs like this are a quick ticket to getting reported for griefing. Find some players to squad up with that fit the playstyle you want.

This video was sent to me. Not sure if he has been reported.

Players that are sending the video to you need to report in-game.

Players have been sharing videos to me lately that come from third parties and often don't include timetables or additional information which would be helpful. A recent thread included infractions which were upward of 20 days ago which limits the ability to present the additional data in a meaningful way to our team.

So please do advise those who forward to you to report in-game. All of the necessary information is captured at that moment.
