Official Call of Duty Ghosts online code of conduct

Last Updated: December 9, 2013

Cheats.co is of course a website that focuses on providing you with cheats, codes, hints, tricks, glitches and more for next generation consoles (being the Wii U, Xbox One and Playstation 4). That said, we know (and believe ourselves) that when it comes to cheating in multiplayer games, that’s just not cool. As a result you will never find any content on Cheats.co that enables you to gain an unfair advantage against any other human players (like online glitches etc).

The developers of Call of Duty: Ghosts obviously feel the same way and have taken it upon themselves to post the following Call of Duty Ghosts online code of conduct. It sets out exactly what sort of infractions/actions might lead to you getting punished or penalized, and then what sort of punishment you can expect.

Check it out and make sure you stay on the right side of the law!
