Call of Duty Adds Kernel Level Driver for Anti-Cheat

CSGO's anti-cheat has many more issues than not being kernel-level. It's practically abandoned and doesn't even catch very blatant cheating (spin botting, etc).

A few months ago, their secondary system, "Trust Factor", was broken for an unknown period of time, which the communication to the community was a single tweet. During that period (probably a few weeks?), there was blatant cheaters in half the games I played.

I've moved to playing FACEIT (a third-party matchmaking service) recently, partly due to anti-cheat. I don't remember the last time I saw a cheater in FACEIT, while CSGO's matchmaking has cheaters in around 10% of my games (average skill player, ~2k hours over 7 years, high Trust Factor).

Faceit is really good for an anticheat. It's just that the skill floor is too high to encapsulate casual users, otherwise it would probably kill matchmaking. Cheats cost $60+ and cheat providers get killed often by detection waves
