Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta is now live in early access, letting players finally jump in and test the new maps and multiplayer modes. But it hasn’t taken long for trouble to surface. Even before the open beta begins, players are already sharing clips of cheaters using aimbots and wall-hacks, raising fresh concerns about fairness – despite Activision’s promise of stronger anti-cheat tools this time around.

Black Ops 7 Beta Players Report Cheating
Videos shared on X (formerly Twitter) show players clearly exploiting cheats in early matches. These clips have quickly gained traction among fans, many of whom say it’s frustrating to see such issues appear so soon. Reports suggest that Activision has already started cracking down on offenders through its Ricochet anti-cheat system. According to popular COD tracker Charlie Intel, several accounts flagged for suspicious activity have been permanently banned.

In response, the official Call of Duty Updates account has been replying to several posts, confirming that some of the accounts seen using cheats have already been banned. This suggests that Activision’s moderation team is keeping a close eye on reports and acting in real time – even during the beta period.
Anti-Cheat System Gets Stricter Ahead of Full Launch
Earlier this week, Activision detailed new anti-cheat protections for Black Ops 7, calling them some of the “most advanced” in gaming. The publisher confirmed that Ricochet will require players on PC to enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for the beta – a move aimed at curbing exploits at the hardware level.
When the full game launches on November 14, these measures will be reinforced with Remote Attestation, a system that verifies the integrity of the player’s machine in real time to block modified clients.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta Schedule and Availability
The early access beta began on October 2 for players who pre-ordered the game, while open beta access starts on October 5 and runs until October 8. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will release globally on November 14 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
