Make Activision Explain the Unwarranted Bans on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

The Issue

Activision Publishing, Inc.'s 2019 game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and its free-to-play battle royale counterpart Call of Duty: Warzone have been banning innocent gamers without giving them reasons for the ban. Most of these players have not cheated on the game yet they are banned. Warnings have not been given and the bans were permanent.

Most of these people are loyal fans of the franchise and are patrons for many years. I, for example, have bought every Call of Duty game since 2007's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. On 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, I have spent on the game, three battle passes, and many Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Points (CP) which amount to a few hundred dollars and are now nothing because of the permanent ban.

I believe that because of the so-called "Ban Wave" that the publisher is currently doing, we, innocent gamers, have had our accounts mistaken as worthy of a permanent ban. 

Activision Publishing, Inc. and its developer Infinity Ward, Inc.'s support team is basically non-existent. Attempts to look for support about bans only lead to "Temporary and permanent suspensions from all game modes are final and are not subject to review. Activision Support cannot assist with or answer questions about enforcements." We have the right to know why our accounts have been revoked.

We ask, at most, to have our accounts reinstated or at least, give us a reason for the ban.

We hope for this to reach Activision Publishing, Inc. as well as Infinity Ward, Inc. 

Thank you for your time and thank you for supporting our petition.

I have had my activision account for almost 10 years with no issues. On November 22, 2024 I was falsely banned for "file manipulation". As is with countless other users I have NEVER cheated nor do I use any software that remotely related to altering game files. I appealed my banned, but received the obvious automated response that my ban will re...

Like many others I've been playing COD since COD 4 and was banned for “Unauthorized software and Manipulation of game data”. I've spent hundreds of dollars on the games and battle passes over the years and now no longer have access to any of the content I've spent money on. This is akin to robbery when its honest people who genuinely didn't deserve...
