Activision has posted footage of one of its legal representatives turning up at the Ohio home of a notorious Call of Duty cheat seller and handing over a cease-and-desist order.

The short version

  • The roughly one-minute clip went up on the official Call of Duty account on Friday, although the cease and desist was actually served on 22nd August, during last weekend's Modern Warfare 4 closed beta.
  • It shows a representative pulling up outside a house, meeting a man whose face is blurred throughout, and handing over paperwork.
  • RICOCHET Anti-Cheat doesn't end when your match does.
