"In a few days, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta launches on console and PC. This will be the first time players get a chance to go hands-on with the upcoming FPS. It will also be the first chance hackers and cheaters get to possibly screw up the game. And Activision not only expects that to happen, but wants it to happen."
"As previously announced, this time around, Call of Duty players on PC will have to have Secure Boot activated on their rig to play Black Ops 7 and the upcoming beta. For most players, this shouldn't be much of an issue as newer PCs running Windows 11 are likely to already have Secure Boot activated. But for other players planning to run the game on older PCs or rigs that don't support Secure Boot, this could be a problem."
"And if cheaters do try to play the BLOPS7 beta despite Secure Boot, Activision and its anti-cheat team, Team Ricochet, are waiting for them and ready to ban them forever. "Cheaters will try to test the limits during the Beta. That's exactly what we want because #TeamRICOCHET is here, watching, learning, and removing them as they appear," explained the team in the previously mentioned blog post."
Black Ops 7 beta will launch soon on console and PC, and PC players must enable Secure Boot to play. Newer PCs on Windows 11 likely already have Secure Boot enabled, but older rigs or unsupported systems may be unable to participate without BIOS changes. Secure Boot is intended to block some PC cheat tools, though prior betas like Battlefield 6 still saw immediate cheating. Activision expects cheaters to appear and intends to use Team Ricochet to monitor the beta, learn from cheat behavior, and permanently ban accounts across all Call of Duty titles.
