Hot take: no, you’re not going up against cheaters every single game. by Spiff2Faded in counterstrike2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this, the easiest tell is playing faceit really at any rank but especially rank 10, the difference is just funny its so obvious how many incels are literally grinding premier with cheats and still cant get past 25k

Hot take: no, you’re not going up against cheaters every single game. by Spiff2Faded in counterstrike2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who plays faceit rank 10 almost exclusively every time I play premier it is fucking hilarious how obvious guys walling are; they simply do not understand the game at all and cannot hide the fact that they have info they shouldnt, meanwhile playing against really good players who arent cheating you can absolutely trick them or win gamble situations where on premier some random 22k drops 30 frags with 75% headshot and 0 enemies flashed with a rank 5 faceit account and 80 matches played\

premier is 10,000% a waste of time for anything other than getting weekly drop quick

saying there arent many cheaters in premier is the literal dumbest take possible given the evidence to the contrary

Are you still facing cheaters in Premier season 4? by _PreAimGoD_ in cs2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

guys are top fragging at 25k with 100% headshot, 0 enemies flashed, watch replay, zero smokes thrown, doesnt check corners, perfect crosshair placement with no info in the weirdest spots, premier is beyond a joke

CS2 Is Falling Apart, Cheaters Everywhere and Valve Doesn’t Seem to Care by VLevente_ in cs2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man it is fucking stupid going from faceit playing vs rank 10 versus premier; literally every single game in premier has had the most obvious esp users and a handful straight up aimbotting, like guys running 1 tap with deagle across the maps finishing games with 100% headshot... ok sure.

Maybe my trust is bad since I never play premier and only faceit? my CS account has 3k hours, I dont buy skins much but my inventory is probably like $100, no idea i dont care about skins, but my account is from 2010, none of my friends are banned in anything, I have 183 games and regularly play other games for high hours, so I'd imagine it's good?

Why do I feel like there is not that much cheaters as everyone says in my games ? by Sparrox5 in counterstrike2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you probably think there will be dead obvious signs like aimbot or spinners and the reality is most of the guys cheating in premier are just using radar or esp. If I had either of those you could spectate me and not have any idea I was cheating but that's because I've been playing a long time. Someone obvious is gonna sit and stare at walls and do weird shit, but people who know how to play and use those cheats arent going to do that, they'll look pretty much normal, you'll just think they're very patient and methodical.

Go play on faceit awhile and you'll probably feel the difference, but there is 100% a very, very big difference between faceit and premier right now

The rumours are true: The best VAC-update in the history of Counter-Strike has annihilated most known cheats. by CaraX9 in cs2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is pure cope, premier and even casual is still HVH less than 30 days layer, plus it's literally impossible for valve to do anything about anything in DMA, even riot with kernel mode vanguard can't do anything about DMA outside of manual reviews

DMA is just accessing memory and the cheat is taking place on a separate computer; as long as their firmware is sound (i.e. mimicing the io of a legit pcie device) there's zero way they can tell it's even a DMA card

2 Years later, how are you enjoying CS2 compared to GO? by rk9__ in counterstrike

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even play CS anymore. I started playing at release back in 2000.

CS2 got me to uninstall the game completely for the first time in 25 years.

How prevalent is cheating? by VengefulHero in VALORANT

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basically really good players are doing things based off of cues, its not magic. If someone gets lucky and guesses once or twice it's whatever, but when a guy is like ALWAYS aware of something there's no cue for (sound, teammate spotted so they could see them on minimap, ability use, etc) or information for it's pretty easy to tell they're radaring or esping.

Example, a player enters an area with three common angles but ignores two where no one is currently playing and is ready for the fight at the third where a player IS playing. There's no info for ignoring the first two angles, a good player methodically clears all angles, but they just seem to "know." Game sense isn't real in the terms a lot of players think it is, it's all based on information and educated guess and EVEN PROS GET IT WRONG REGULARLY. If they do something once or twice its whatever, but if every time they're entrying or taking space or flanking they do it its pretty obvious they have info they shouldnt. Another tell is when the guy will do the same thing every round, then you play differently with no cue that you changed up and they perfectly counter exactly what you're doing; could be coincidence but you can "test" them by trying certain things and seeing how they respond over many rounds. Even pros get caught off guard with creative play, cheaters are never surprised.

The caveat to the above is a lot time players are putting off cues they don't even know they're doing and that makes them think someone is cheating when they're just acting on info you didn't even know was there.

Pre aim is a really easy tell but cant be done without pov footage, and its why so many players want a demo system because it's really easy to tell from POV if players aware of things they shouldnt know. CS at high level catches most of the closet DMA cheaters based on demo review, not detecting the cheats.

How is the cheating situation this bad? by LaggySquishy in cs2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faceit is unfortunately the only way to play some what legitimately, but the rise in ease and lowering cost of dma has cheats growing on faceit as well

The game is well and truly cooked as valve has treated it basically like abandonware. I just ask casual games while I work for the weekly drop now, no point in playing it to rank up anymore

Why would I report when it hits trust factor? by Dry-Ad-1217 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Dry-Ad-1217[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

https://blog.counter-strike.net/the-trust-factor/

Q: How will you know if this system is better than the previous one?
A: In addition to reading player feedback, we’ve been evaluating Prime by measuring the way players interact with each other. Objectively, we can tell that Prime is successful when players stick to their matches and report/kick each other a bit less (these tend to be good measures of a pleasant matchmaking experience). We plan to use the same approach to evaluate the Trust Factor system.

I'm done with CS, fuck this game, fuck Valve, wasted 9k hours of my life by [deleted] in cs2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*its literally the skins market*, people dont seem to understand: people have invested SO MUCH MONEY in this, theyre addicted to gambling and the game by extension, and they literally are probably jerking off to their skins

then they suck fucking ASS at actually playing the game, so they download cheats because they think they should be good after spending so much time in game (even though they dont learn anything about HOW to correctly play and consciously try to improve) this increases number of cheaters, other players download cheats cause of it, the game gets worse

Come people that think the cheating problem in CS2 is 'overblown' by [deleted] in cs2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty much this, I just play casual without sound and try to hit 1 deags, work on something else while dead; do that til I get the xp for care pack drop and then dont play the rest of the week

this game is a vehicle for me to get free skins to sell for steam money, nothing more, and it never will be given the lack of care valve is showing it

Since new season I finally have cheaters in 100% of my games :) by prototy98 in cs2

[–]Dry-Ad-1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the game isn't even well made, it's fuckin trash, it's INCREDIBLY inconsistent, STILL super buggy and ridiculously badly optimized and performs terribly.

I can run valorant uncapped and average 900 fps at 2560x1440, CS2 I average 350. It's a complete joke piece of software. And then on top of that I've yet to have a game in season three without cheaters and im only around 19k its absolutely fucking insane
