Help with the intelligent aim

This new software does not require any modification to the software or hardware level, which makes it impossible to detect.Concretely, he analyzes the image in real time thanks to an object detection algorithm to help the player eliminate his opponents in the blink of an eye.

Above the detection software used as a base of the cheat program.

In the case of an FPS like Call of Duty Warzone, it is simply enough to vaguely aim in the framed area on the screen (as illustrated in the tweet at the top of the article), and the software takes care of the rest.As soon as a valid target appears, the aim and the shooting are automatically.

The strength of this software is to run on a separate PC, connected to the console or the PC which runs the game via a capture card or the streaming in a network.By being present on a second machine which analyzes the images of the game live, the software is therefore difficult to detect by the anti-triche solutions.

The development of the software stopped by Activision

The publisher of Call of Duty is one of the firms that put big means in place to fight against the scourge of the cheat.Since the launch of Call of Duty Warzone in March 2020, more than 500,000 cheaters have been banished.As technologies related to artificial intelligence become more powerful and accessible, developers will have to redouble their vigilance.

The appearance of this formidably effective software has raised many concerns.For Anti-Cheat Police Department, "consoles are no longer a safe space to play legitimately at your games."He will not have had time to rage: his creators have announced that they will no longer work on it" at the request of an activision ".
