So basically someone we don't know who keeps "spoofing" my friends account and is cheating on old cod games and he's afraid his account is going to get banned is there anything he can do to combat this?

Sorry I should of specified his account isn't compromised because he has 2fa i don't know how they are doing it but I asked around and people said its called "spoofing " he has even gotten messages from people trash talking him even though he hasn't played that game for months

he's either using your friends account, or he is using his own account with a display name that is similar to what your friend used
in teh first case, change password and enable 2fa
in the 2nd case, it doesn't really matter. if someone reports them then they are reporting the other account not your friend's
