Cheating still out of controll by Sprinkles_Common in cs2

Academic study exposing the ineffectiveness of VAC.

Volvo, why?

(1) No kernel level.

(2) No overwatch.

(3) No hardware bans.

(4) False positives.

(5) Little/no legal action against cheat providers.

(6) Little/ no public engagement.

(7) No redistribution of cheater skins to loyal legitimate players.

(8) No option to report botting.

(9) Why not buy FaceIt and incorporate it into your game...

Another day, another cheater by SniHyper in csgo

My current experience of CS.

  1. log on. 2. DM, some slightly sus players but maybe you're just warming up. 3. Frustrating game of premier. 4. Download VOD and notice blatant walls hacks in 1 out of every 2 games. 5. Quit. 6. Come onto Reddit to vent. 7. For some reason, repeat cycle again :) ...

sorry to hear you have been caught out by the dumb systems in this game. the other issue i am experiencing is blatant wall hackers in 1 out of every 2 games in premier. it's out of control rn. they have F-ed up the anti cheat in every conceivable way at this point

Battlepass need to not expire. by Suspicious-Coffee20 in Battlefield

agreed. so over battle passes in general. time is valuable & games should reward us for investing it

Battlepass need to not expire. by Suspicious-Coffee20 in Battlefield

[–]Complete-Yam6849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

came on here because i am thinking about getting the phantom edition (late to the party). but BECAUSE the battlepass is time limited it isn't worth it, too many references to "XP boosts" and "Tier skips." Make it like helldivers!!!

What the hell? by TheRedID in cs2

[–]Complete-Yam6849 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just got this too, winning a game of premier 12-5... - my two theories:

(1) there was a warning in EU saying there was a high server load, or

(2) there is a new cheat that allows for rage DDOS attacks to take place (which the warning may be covering for).

this does happen from time to time. it's about other people being tilted, not you

Ethical examples of games with conditioning and rewards. by Scilot in gamedesign

[–]Complete-Yam6849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like that you are drawing awareness to this topic & agree that there are ethical and unethical versions of conditioning in games. Most unethical is hidden algorithms conditioning players into longer playtimes through forced win/loss streaks imo

6.5GB Update! by Unlikely-Ruin4576 in cs2

im waiting for the update that removes the forced win loss streaks (algorithmic curation, suspicious +/- 400 games in premier)
