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.

It was removed from the game already, but here's the Wiki page that shows how it worked. There are pictures of the claw, and the player becoming a robot.

Cheaters would also be teleported to a "prison island" where regular players could vote for ways to punish them, with several different animations for each punitive action. Mind you, this is all cosmetic and for the remaining players, because the account itself would receive the official bans regardless of the vote.
