Activision Security team

My account was hacked 2 years ago while I was away on holiday, when I came back I couldn't log into my account, after recovering it through Blizzard, I realised my account was ban and activision appeal page was useless as all I got was a generic bot reply, instead of someone actually reading my appeal and seeing the evidence I had of me recovering my account.

Desired outcome: I would like to get my Call Of Duty Cold War account back.

Activision Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

Hello everything is fine? I ask you to analyze my case, for the seventh time in a row or remember, I am having my account reviewed again, without doing anything that violates the rules in matches, even with voice chat deactivated, even without typing anything, even with my name correct, even with low kill statics, even without using illegal programs my account is reviewed in an infinite loop, and soon after I am released, this happens without any justification, I am not even notified by email that it has happened, I am a consumer also, because I bought several bundles and battle passes in addition to having purchased the multiplayer with several hours played, but I am prevented from playing, due to a ricochet error or false reports, please ask you to analyze and solve my problem, as I am a consumer and I want to be able to use the purchased products and play normally!

Desired outcome: Por favor, peço que analise e solucione meu problema, pois sou um consumidor e quero poder utilizar os produtos comprados e jogar normalmente!!

Activision Modern Warfare II Shadow Ban Loop

Its my 7th shadow ban. Everytime I get unbanned I get banned within either a day or a week. When contacting the player support they always reply with the same text and ignore requests.

I already requested a refund but they ignored it.

I wasnt able to play the game the whole last month / season.

Its just riciolous that they call themselves tripple A but yet make a anti cheat that instead of banning actual cheaters banning honest players and have a miserable player support.

Desired outcome: Shaodw Ban Loop Removal or Refund

Recently there is a Steam sale where you can buy Call of duty's for a cheaper price. As a university student that ofcourse doesn't have too much money, I got really happy to finally be able to buy some newer Call of duty's and to play the Story / Zombie mode. Since I've personally not been a fan of pvp or competitive games last years i did not play thi...

Activision Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

I have been falsely accused of editing game files and using unauthorized software while playing Call of Duty, I ran an application named Monotone which is a Hardware ID spoofer. I had forgot what it did, so I ran it (Call of Duty was not open during this) and then I hadn't played Call of Duty for at least a week. Today, I opened Call of Duty to find out that I've been permanently banned. I have appealed but it was denied.

Activision ID: TheDevNate#9981196

Desired outcome: Please unban me or refund the game.

Activision dmz

Why even have missions in this mode. All you have succeeded in doing is creating another br game. If you tel the stradegy of take out the other teams then you have no time to conplete any missions. So this is now a battle royal map without have to worry the circle is closing. Also those of us that have paid for the game try play fair but the cheaters and hackers that get banned just create a new account cause it’s ftp. So y’all have taken from those of us that actually pay for the game and shot on is

Desired outcome: Either set the free to play away from those that pay for the gameSecond: in Dmz have set pvp areas of the map so moving into those areas you can PvP and still stay out of the area to get missions done

Activision modern warfare 2

I first got banned in 2021 when I wanted to play warzone after a few months, I do not know why all I know is I got banned, then warzone 2 came out and I played it for a few days and got put under review and after a few days I was able to play again. But then I got permanently banned from it again for hacking and cheating. I never cheated in the game and I played only one or 2 games a day and I wasnt even good at it. So I made another account and tried to play and I got put under review again and then a few days later got perma banned I dont know why and the appeal a ban system is a total scam it just sends u a pre generated email saying they will not overturn the ban. And now I made another account and before I could even play a game I was put under review. I really dont know what to do and activision is really useless in this issue.

Desired outcome: get unbanned or at least a investigation to why i got banned

Activision Call of duty warzone2.0 unjust shadow bans

Good day i am very dissapointed in the reporting system once again. A couple of months ago i was playing on pc and got shadow banned 3 weeks in a row. I then changed to xbox and did not get shadow banned in 6 months. I finally bought a new pc this week of $2000 australian dollars and played two days and guess what im shadow banned again. This is inacceptable that if reported on pc its a immediate ban and i cant even find out why its happened. There is no support for us aswell. Please help me. I was so excited about the new mw3 but if this is what happens everytime i play i will not be buying it.

Desired outcome: I would like to be unbanned and you can monitor my gameplay i do not hack or cheat.

Activision Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II / Warzone II

On July 2nd I moved across the country from Arizona to Alabama. I played the game a few days before the move, and then I put my PC in a shipping container. I arrived in Alabama and decided to try season four reloaded on July 12th since I had my PS5 with me. I played maybe two games and then didn't attempt to play for a few more days when my PC arrived. I set up my pc and immediately saw an error message on my screen signifying that my account had been permanently banned. I have been heartbroken by this. I have spent so many hours in this game playing legitimately. I have also spent nearly $300 on this account. I truly have no idea why my account would be banned. I have tried contacting activision through the Better Business Bureau and by filing multiple tickets.

I understand that the security and enforcement team goes through a very long process before banning accounts, but I am telling you with 100% certainty they got this wrong. I have not and will never cheat in a video game. I love this game way too much to do that. Please, I am begging you to just have someone review my account. I am not a cheater. I play this game with my wife and cousins. I have never even been shadowbanned. I am now playing WZII on the same pc that I was banned on without issue, so I am unsure as to how that would even be allowed. Wouldn't my new account immediately be banned for Hardware ID tagging? This leads me to believe that maybe my account was hacked and the other person's pc would have been hardware ID banned.

Also, I gave my sister my PS4 and had her create an account so that she could play WarZone with us and she accidentally logged into my account at the same time that I was logged into my PC. Could that have flagged my account?

Also, I believe that I was logged into the game when I realized that my time zone was still in Arizona and was manually set so I set it to update automatically. All of this happened right before I went to play the game. I think I was also updating all of my drivers and software since my PC was gone for a while. I have Corsair iCue, ASUS armorycrate, and Logitech GHub on my PC. I know that a lot of people say that those things flag the game.

Look, I really feel like something weird happened here. I have never cheated so can you please have a real person from the security and enforcement team review my account? I just want to play the game.

Get it? Because Prometheus came back from the dead. And I'm innocent, so I too will be back.

No, but seriously. I am innocent. Please help me out.

Desired outcome: Contact from an actual Activision employee. (Preferably from the security and enforcement team) And not another automated response.I would my account to be reviewed.

Activision Call of Duty Modern Warfare II

The game has a system where if you are suspected of violating the security enforcement (using cheats) because players report you in-game for cheating you will be placed "under review" for a time period of 1 day - multiple weeks. During this time your matchmaking takes a lot longer, the matches will have higher ping, and only can queue with other under review players, which means more cheaters. You can also only play certain game modes. This is anti-gamer, because i cannot enjoy playing without worry of someone falsely reporting me because i killed them, not to mention this has happened to me at least 15 times. Ive spent more time WAITING to be able to enjoy the game than actually playing normally. Im stuck in a loop.

Desired outcome: I would like this system to be reworked so that way i can play the game i paid for without being punished for simply being good at the entire objective of the game itself- eliminating other players. Please acknowledge this issue.

Activision COD MW2, permanent ban

I've been recently banned on the date of 13/08/2023, at the approx. 19:00 CET. The ban reason was "unauthorized software and manipulation of game data", even though I've never cheated, neither I had any sort of cheating software on my PC. The ban happened after playing 2 matches of Ashika Island (Resurgence), I've had both matches really good games going more than +15 kills each round. After dying the second game, went back to lobby, before lobby loading screen I've been greeted with the message that my account is banned permanently. Afterwards I've taken the case to Activision Support "Appeal a Ban". There after approx. 6 hours I've received the nice automated message that everyone gets, that I've used "unauthorized software and manipulation of game data". After that I've tried going through their "Recovery" department where usually you get a case number and a confirmation on your email, guess what? Never got any of those, because they have blocked my email, that my guess.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology, as well as the immediate restoration of my account. A report of the trigger of the ban. As well as clearing my Steam Account of the game ban on record.
