Call of Duty now shows you when a cheater has been booted right in the kill feed::Activision will let everyone know when a Call of Duty cheater has been booted from a lobby. It’s the latest in a multi-year crackdown on cheaters.

I don't know if this really helps anything? I mean, I suppose it's nice for the players who are frustrated to know that the cheater was caught, but I see this as making for easy abuse, like how games often kick/ban people automatically based on number of reports and a malicious group figuring out just how many reports it takes using this new information provider.

Nothing new, though. Hopefully, I'm just a worrywart and this is a change for the better though I don't think it'll do much in the end.
