#Call of Duty

Microsoft has signed a "10-year-commitment" to bring the popular Call of Duty franchise to Nintendo platforms for the very first time, provided that their acquisition of Activision Blizzard is closed. It can be recalled that Microsoft had recently pushed to acquire Activision Blizzard for over $68.8 billion last January. The commitment will see the Call of Duty franchise finally playable on Nintendo consoles, particularly the popular Nintendo Switch. Activision has answered the call of its player-base as they have just revealed the name of their upcoming anti-cheat system, RICOCHET. The new system arriving for both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard will use a combination of a PC kernel-level driver, machine learning algorithms to examine player behavior, and will have a team to investigate cheaters. The PC kernel-level driver has been developed for the Call of Duty franchise by Activision and will launch first for Warzone with the upcoming Pacific update. The anti-cheat system will also come to Call of Duty: Vanguard at a later date. Activision has certainly been busy churning out one Call of Duty title after another every single year.
