Several Call of Duty games will now shut down for mouse and keyboard players who activate aim assist.
Activision has updated its anti-cheat system, Ricochet, to detect aim assist usage for PC players across Modern Warfare 3, Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone.
«Our security detection systems now target players using tools to activate aim assist while using a mouse and keyboard. The Call of Duty application will close if detected,» reads a new post on X, formerly Twitter.

Aim assist is generally used by console players due to the control stick on a controller being less accurate than a mouse and keyboard. This decision by Activision, therefore, is to prevent PC players having an unfair advantage.
