Infinity Ward announces a new layer of security in its fight against people who break the rules.
Activision and Infinity Ward's open war against cheats in Call of Duty: Warzone. Bombs and bullets may not be part of this battlefield, but both companies continue to beef up their security to prevent cheats from earning the odd medal. For some time, both have defended the narrative of zero tolerance for cheating. This time, they will request the two-step verification process from new Infinity Ward battle royale players.
"Security update," comments the study on Twitter. "We have started two-step SMS authentication for new users of Warzone on PC who log in to free-to-play." According to Infinity Ward, this will provide an additional layer of security for gamers. In recent weeks, many console users have been known to disable crossover gaming to avoid cheats.
Security Update: We have initiated two-step SMS authentication for new #Warzone PC users, who log in as free to play as another step to provide an additional layer of security for players.

Expulsions and more
Furthermore, Infinity Ward recently announced a new batch of measures. In addition to reinforcing its reporting system, the developer decided to take the suspects to the same area to play together until their innocence or guilt was determined. The North American company did not go around with nonsense and confirmed that it had already expelled more than 70,000 users for not complying with the rules.
Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play battle royale that came out under the umbrella of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, although it is a separate title. It is already confirmed that Warzone will be updated to work on new generation consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. "I know our plan is that Warzone is here for a long time, so as soon as the new systems are out there available, I'm sure we will support them, ”said Creative Director Taylor Kurosaki.
