Wrongfully Banned and Stuck in Limited Matchmaking Loop - COD BO6
Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my frustrating experience with COD BO6 and its automated banning system. A couple of weeks ago, I was wrongfully put into limited matchmaking by Activision's automated system. After two weeks, the ban was finally lifted. I played one Plunder match with random teammates, and we came in second place. Feeling relieved, I closed the game, went to sleep, and started it again the next day, hoping to enjoy the game without cheaters.

However, when I tried to find a Plunder match, the search went on for 10 minutes without success. This made me suspicious, so I checked my status at Activision's ban appeal page, and sure enough, I was put into limited matchmaking again.

I'm sick and tired of this. I paid $70 for the game, and I'm not cheating. I'm an average player with a 1KD, mostly playing to level up or grind the season pass. I'm not alone in this; there are thousands of other players who have been wrongfully put into limited matchmaking and are forced to play against actual cheaters.

We need to come together as a gaming community and push back against this automated banning by game developers. On top of that, they don't even have a proper support ticket system where we can appeal or ask a real human to check our cases. From reading hundreds of posts, it seems like once you're in limited matchmaking, just one report from another person can put you back into an endless loop of limited matchmaking.

Let's raise our voices and demand better from Activision. We deserve fair treatment and a proper review process!

Same here. My KD is literally 1.17 and I am the worst of all my friends. I have never cheated or even want to take the time to do that. I just play for a bit after work sometimes. Been shadow banned now for 3 weeks and have now clue what to do. I am even shadow banned from the campaign like wtf.

Exploiting spawns can get you banned, exploiting spots in Prop hunt can get you banned, Exploiting in anyway including macros can get you banned. It doesn't need to be hacks.

no one here will ever believe anyone who got banned saying they didnt cheat.
80% of limited matchmaking lobbies are made of wrongfully banned players. the other 20% are hackers. The system does not work

legit skilled players never end up in the limited matchmaking, as i know many with dark matter, chopper gunners every match, and no issues on their end.

its become a meme to claim limited matchmaking and say its because they played too well, but the reality is that its for being caught cheating, usually with aim assist mouse software like XIM that they thought was undetectable.

playing good or bad has nothing to do with limited matchmaking.
