Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta Already Filled With Cheaters

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta went live just hours ago. Yet, players are already encountering cheaters across lobbies. This is surprising, as Activision recently promised the most advanced anti-cheat system in gaming.
Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 Are Now Required
For the first time in the series, Black Ops 7 requires both Secure Boot and Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM). These features were added to strengthen Ricochet’s anti-cheat. Activision claimed this move would create safer matches, but so far results look weak.
Many fans also view these requirements as intrusive. Some worry they interfere with modding or conflict with other software. Despite this debate, Activision pushed ahead with the new rule, making it mandatory for both the beta and full release.
Cheaters Are Already Flooding Matches
Even with new protections, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 cheaters are everywhere. Players are posting clips on social media showing wall-hacks and aimbots. One viral clip shows a cheater snapping instantly to enemies’ heads through walls.
This is frustrating for fans, as Activision recently shared a blog boasting about smarter, faster, and more reliable anti-cheat. The system was said to be powered by advanced machine learning, trained on millions of gameplay hours. Yet, the experience for players tells another story.
Login Issues Add to the Frustration
Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Cheaters are not the only issue. Some players with early access codes still cannot log in. They are being told to pre-order the game to access the beta. Others face errors that prevent them from joining matches altogether.
Activision has stated that these issues are being resolved. However, reports suggest many fans remain locked out of the beta playtest.
A Rough Start for Black Ops 7
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is scheduled to launch next year. But the beta already shows how serious the cheating problem has become. Unless Activision strengthens Ricochet and enforces stricter systems, fair players may find the game frustrating from the start.
