Although IF Warzone required things like Secure Boot and TPM in order to play, would go a long way in the fight against cheaters. With a platform as open as PC, there will always be someone cheating. Apex, RB6: Siege and Valorant just to name a few. We’ve seen games with better Anti-Cheats still deal with cheaters. New cheat providers will enter the market, new exploits and bypasses will be found. But Anti-Cheat is a back and forth battle between AC devs and cheat developers.

Sure, there might be less obvious cheaters, some cheat providers may even stop developing COD cheats. Just because we now have a kernel level anti-cheat (AC), doesn’t mean cheating will disappear. For more details, here’s a full link to the blog. When Warzone Pacific dropped, the kernel driver was only available to those on the Asia client. tSHzzD09SH- ModernWarzone December 15, 2021 can confirm that the atvi-brymhil kernel level driver was NOT there before tonight's #Warzone update. This new protection offers a deeper level of monitoring than had previously been available, and it's clearly the cornerstone of the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat initiative.Here's proof that the Kernel Level Driver is now active on our PC's in North America after tonight's update. Beyond that, gamers with privacy concerns will likely be comforted to know thta "the kernel-level driver only monitors and reports activity related to 'Call of Duty,'" according to the announcement. And players can rest assured that it's not always-on, since the driver only runs when "Call of Duty" is running. The kernel-level driver will also be required in order to play the game. By going deeper than standard user-level protections, the kernel-level driver is meant to more effectively stop cheaters and transmit relevant data to the developers so that security measures can be further enhanced.

Though it might seem a bit intense (and although similar anti-cheat programs have caused an uproar in the past), a high level of security might be necessary when faced with the insufferable lows hackers "Call of Duty" have gone to, including spreading viruses to players.
