The open beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 kicks off on October 2 for early-access players, expanding to everyone on October 5. Activision is introducing robust anti-cheat upgrades, including machine learning detection and stricter PC requirements. The updated Ricochet anti-cheat will help identify and remove cheaters in real-time. While cheating may not be fully eliminated, this beta will test these enhancements before the game officially launches on November 14.
