Activision Banned for no reason

I just bought MW3 for $100 dollars and decided to play the camping. after 2 hours of gameplay, I was banned for "manipulation of game data". I never got MW2. I haven't played COD since mw1 in 2019. this is sad. I pay $100 because I like what the game has to offer and this is what I get. They already not this is a big proper "We are investigating a service outage impacting multiple titles. During this time, Campaign Early Access, account ownership checks, and progression systems may be temporarily unavailable".

Claimed loss: $108

Desired outcome: I just want to play the game. Fix your issues

Dear Sir / Madam, In relation to the email i got on my account stating that my account "has been permanently banned for using unauthorized software and manipulation of game data" under the user Super-Rac#5463179 and that my ban will not be overturned is completely unfair for someone who has paid £84.99 for the game and has never run any type of cheating...

Activision Call Of Duty Mobile

Dear Activision support,

My codm account has been accessed by someone and I want to fix it. Recently my account was having suspicious changes which I didn't make and even got a facebook account linked which I haven't and now even worse while I try to open the game and play out of nowhere it says account has been accessed elsewhere I want to know is there anyway to unlink the facebook account from my game?

I have already tried to change my password and enabled 2FA but nothing has changed and still there are changes being made I've spent so much time in my account and now I can't even use it. For me the game is all the joy I have so I would be real grateful if you helped me get my account back.

with regards

Activision Call of Duty - Warzone/MW2

10/19/2023 - 1:22PM CT My account was banned after an appeal had been submitted, I offered to provide credible proof from my computer that I have never manipulated their game files, and game data to gain a competitive edge on others. I emailed multiple people within the company that have since not contacted me. The company by law has to provide the data used against me to show why I was banned, as I use software that allows for me to route games for speed running like Lies of P and Dark Souls. This engine does not touch/manipulate any Call of Duty files.

Desired outcome: Unban my acocunt.

Activision call of duty modern warfare 2

Recently had my account falsely banned for using a 3rd party software unrelated to the call of duty titles, software was called "blue stacks" and was used to play a separate game called the Simpsons tapped out. The ban was appealed and automatically declined without a proper investigation.

The software does not comply with the reason for the ban and does not interact with the game in any way

Desired outcome: Would like my account to be unbanned and returned to normal as i have spent some money over the years whilst playing

Activision Call of Duty warzone 2

So I decided let me play Call of Duty with my friends on Monday after playing the MW3# beta and we were having fun and then I didn't get on until Friday and find out I have been perma banned on Activision, and I don't even know why. So my friend told me to try appealing the ban maybe you might get your account back and then I did and got a response saying I was using unauthorized software which I dont even know what that means. Like does that mean I was cheating? I have been playing Call of duty since 2011 and never would waste my time on using hacks when I grind the game, like now I don't really play because I am working now and dont get that much time to play the game anymore and do not have the time to grind the game 24/7 like I used to. All I want to do is keep playing Call of Duty with the boys and not have any trouble that's all I am asking for please unban me so I can play the game man.

Desired outcome: Please unban my account I need to play COD it soothes me when coming home from a long day at work, and you guys can check my PC if you really think I would resort myself to being a cheater but please let me get my account back.

Activision Call of duty 2

Tired of getting shadow banned for offensive voice chat when I play with my mic off or party only chat. I have been suspended and put into shadow banned lobbies 5 times all while already under a 14 day suspension. So while I’m already suspended and playing party only chat or mic off I continuously get suspended more. You let cheaters and hackers continue to play while you focus all your efforts on listening to what I say to myself. I HAVE NEVER SAID AN OFFENSIVE WORD TO A SINGLE PLAYER. My COD name is jhook24-7 and my email is [protected]@gmail.com.

Desired outcome: Quit suspension of voice chat unless offensive language is directed at an actual player

Full name Sam Janko

Email [protected]@gmail.com

I was at a gaming cafe I logged into my Battle.net account I played one warzone 2.0 game of resurgence lost quickly after that I was unable to connect to any of the game modes it would just say connecting and spin and go up to 200ms. I want home cause figured it would work at home. When it didn’t work at home I did some research and figured out I had to search the Activision account website where I discovered my account had been banned. I had only gotten my account to around lvl 50 but I was enjoying the game so much. I had also purchased a bundle with my cp points. I was unable to join my squad last night and I’m very sad I can’t play. I did nothing wrong and am heartbroken to not be able to play. Please help get my ban lifted. I love playing warzone and very much would like to join my squad tonight at our usual time.

Desired outcome: Lift ban and be able to play the warzone 2.0 game modes

Activision call of duty

Blizzard/Activision client software automatically downloaded the beta without my permission, in any form, and is essentially forcing the game down my throat, and yet I can't play it without paying $100, despite the company producing broken games that aren't fixed for months. They shouldn't be allowed to force the game onto people's devices. It's very reminiscent of iTunes and the U2 download from approximately 10 years ago.

Desired outcome: Dont force auto downloads for a game I never downloaded or accepted automatic downloads for. I only accepted automatic updates for the warzone.

Activision False banning of account

I was given a temp ban on 01/10/2023. This is despite having average gaming stats (a 1.5 kd and roughly averaging 4-5 kills per game). I was clearly spam reported and this is apparently enough for Activision to ban my account which also has numerous bundle bought via money. There is no evidence that I have ever used cheats of any kind. The reporting system is clearly being abused by many players who are either unhappy with being killed or reporting do to other matters i.e. my Activision ID is a giveaway that I am a Muslim (IAmImrazKhan7).

Desired outcome: My account should be unbanned immediately as this banning is completely unjustified. There is no evidence that I should have been banned.

Activision Activision Account

I just created an account on 9/29/2023 and is currently "under review" which is completely uncalled for. I have never run any type of cheating software on my PC or any PC for that matter. I'm now reduced to playing in lobby's that are "shadowbanned" and have to wait extremally long wait times to even play.

Looking at my K/D ratio and my stat's it would be quite obvious that I'm not cheating, I just enjoyed playing this game (for the brief few hours I was able to play it) as it brought back happy memories of playing the original Modern Warfare 2.

Thanks

Desired outcome: That activision actually review my account to show that im not cheating.
