Pretty unbelievable the amount of cheaters in this game right now.

I've never been the one to bitch about this. Not for 20 years.

But it's time to uninstall.

20k is not fun.

Play faceit

There some smurfs, But better to play against

i said that from the start, its not worth to invest your free time in CS2 atm. You are just Alpha / Beta testing a 20 years old game.
They dont miss the money, they always milk hundred of millions with the majors and their skins. Then were is the problem?
Our technology evolved alot in the past years but we didnt invest anything in safety.
Games like CS2, Apex, Valorant, COD.... if let uncheckt, they will get infested instantly with cheaters( and its not even hard to get them).
You used to get suspended for sharing your screen in the past, not even the spin bots are not geting you suspended..lewl

Don't care to play faceit for some reason. Just like getting global.

Not sure what happened but it was either the last big patch or the one before. Right after I talked to a few different hackers in my games and they said that patch allowed many more cheats..

So disappointing 😞 my favorite game destroyed for first time with hackers in 20 years IMO. I've just never had many hackers in comp, maybe 25 games of hundreds. Now it's every fucking game.

if the patch "allowed many cheats" - consider it Valve doing market research for the next anticheat / big banwave... hopefully.

I'd be surprised honestly. A honey pot would be a great idea, but not sure they put their player base as a cost.

Did you see the clip where 1 player was not cheating and his 4 team mates were? Basically the 1 legit guy was 20K+ and they lost a round because he wasn't spin botting and his 4 team mates kicked him.

The problem is that steam has put it in A loop, cheat ban buy new acc cheat ban new acc, so effectively they are full circle printing money

It's more about how the cheats are developed, if they ban regularly on individuals, those individuals will complain to cheat makers, who will then update their cheats more frequently, allowing less cheaters to be caught. if it is a random banwave that addresses multiple exploits, it catches way more people because nobody has time to stop or update sort of thing.
Now, this is VERY dependent on how Valve decides to work on their anticheat, but from what I've seen, I believe this is how they're doing it (similar to Diablo2 tbh) and they are definitely not active enough in doing it as often as it should be done (I'd love to see about 4 banwaves a year).

I've also seen a rumor while searching for data mining leaks that they're going to massively update their anticheat when they re-release Danger Zone, because of how ripe DZ was with cheaters in GO.



100% and because of how coders are, there will never not be cheaters. its about curtailing it the best they can to keep the legit players happy, which they're not doing a great job at. To your point though, if they ban more cheaters they would make more money...



Long story short, I think it's mostly because they wanted to update the anticheat for Source2 / CS2, but had to rush CS2 release to meet their street date - how we all say it's barely more than an open beta right now with all the missing features/maps/modes - they didn't finish the updated anticheat in time and are still working on it. I'm trying to be optimistic here

I would be very surprised if they don't know this. In my optimistic mind I feel like they would combat this for the real players. But money always wins.
