CTOnews.com, Oct. 9 (Xinhua)-- Watchman Pioneer and return were updated on Saturday, abolishing the much-complained SMS security mechanism, and veteran players no longer need to provide their mobile phone numbers when playing.

Blizzard said: in the "Watch Pioneer" and "return", our commitment to fight bad behavior will not change-accounts and new accounts that have not been linked to Battle. net still need to meet the requirements of SMS security. we will use this restriction to protect the player community from cheating. If a player commits bad behavior, it will be banned regardless of whether his or her account is new or not.

In this regard, Watchman did listen to feedback from players, but current news suggests that this mechanism is likely to reappear in call of Duty 19: modern Warfare II, which is released on October 28.

Activision's recently updated support page reads:

Phone numbers are required to access some games: call of Duty: modern Warfare II, the newly created Watchman 2 account and the newly created call of Duty: modern Warfare account.

Last week, after the launch of "Watch Vanguard 2", a large number of players found that "some prepaid" numbers could not be used. Before Friday, a considerable number of Watchman Vanguard players found that they could not play the game. At the same time, Blizzard suffered two more DDOS attacks, and then only announced the cancellation of this strategy.

CTOnews.com has learned that since 2020, Infinity Ward has required all users of call of Duty: theater to be doubly authenticated on PC, and it is not clear whether all Warzone 2.0 players will still need mobile numbers to play the game after November 16.
