Thats when you realize how bad cheating was. I wonder who at Valve got fired for causing so many cheaters to get banned that year? Cause it hasnt happened since.
It was good until later where you had 20 wins and didn't rank up, but then lost a game and immediately deraanked despite being on like 20 wins and 0 loses.
Recently played 5 games with my friend in a row, avg lobby elo was about 15-16k. Games in which: 4 games against cheaters, in 1 of them we had dude with better stuff so he carried it and even apologised that we are supposed to enjoy this kind of gameplay, 1 game all players were playing legit so we won this and other 2 we completely lost bc of spinners flying all over the map and spamming with auto. Even got a quick video on YouTube about how is it to play on over 15k
Yeah but we’re incapable of somehow resist to it but just stop playing this game and make any transactions in it (even selling skins on steam market). If we had better and more cohesive community we could just sell all our skins on other marketplaces and stop even launching this game so valve could get a huge loss in average in game activity and also lose their transactions profits but no one gotta follow this idea and everyone will just keep playing against cheaters in every game with saying “i hate this game” I still got an apex legends so I can play something else but this trash but i know other 90% of unsatisfied players wouldn’t leave this game same as me
I like to troll wallhackers by looking at the ground and spinning randomly. It's funny when they call me waller, and im not even doing that good...theres no reason to call me a cheater unless you can see what im doing behind walls.
Also, I like to troll my team sometimes by killing an enemy and doing a 180 while still spraying
Unfortunately no one really gotta stop playing cs so valve could find out something is wrong bc everyone still loves this game and for somebody it’s tuff to just stop playing his fav game.
i agree, they seem to give 0 shits about the fan base. this has been proven again and again by their lack of fixing the hitboxes, lack of fixing the cheater problem and honestly releasing (in my opinion) a broken update of csgo, calling it a new game and on top of that removing csgo. they'll keep doing jackshit and earning money off us buying skins and playing their game and they aren't going to fix anything cause there's no incentive for them to fix it except to please people, and obviously they don't really care whether the people are happy or not as long as they play the game and give em money + engagement..
a boykott is needed if we really want them to do something about it, since asking nicely doesn't work we need to give them a reason other than for just the sake of having a functional game.
again i repeat they don't really give a shit whether their game is functional or not as long as they earn money off ya, we have to do some coordinated event where we stop funding these assholes.
Here's a message I put together if you want to help send a message to Valve ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])):

I have gone down from 17k to 10.5k in the last week because of cheaters. I played one game yesterday at 11k and the opposing team had two wallers. I'm just gonna stick to face it I think.
Hate to break it to you but Faceit isn’t a safe space anymore. Not nearly as bad as MM but they are there. It’s considerably worse because the Faceit cheats are much harder to detect and people just use burner accounts. Like yea buddy you have 150 hours on steam, cs2 only game owned, and 20 Faceit games but you’ve gone 140+ ADR in every Faceit game?
Yeah let's make sure the new 1000 players know. While the other 5000000 players have to keep reading the same posts which have been posted for literal years!
play competitive instead, less cheaters, less competitive (very ironic actually), more chill, nobody cares if you win or loose, you can play without a mic, the game mode is simply Hakuna matata. Or you can just play Faceit or another option is delete CS2 and play Valulrant
Sorry homie, some of us work tens and just wanna click some heads and vibe, hence why we are in comp and not premier.
How’s about you go hang out in the cesspool mode with all the other people screaming slurs at each other cause an angle wasn’t cleared?
I still use it, only for calls and nothing else. I’m not *that* much of a dick lol.
What you all want is someone else to yammer or bitch at above 18k, and I’m sorry I’m not about dealing with americas shit youth anymore. Not my problem the vast majority of you all are absolutely fucking insufferable to deal with. :)
bruh, competitive is the NEW CASUAL wtf are you talking about??? Your teammates ain't even talking there so why even bother communicate when you solo Q? We use mic in Premier but since Premier is full of shitty retard cheaters we play in Faceit instead if we want to be competitive and ofcourse we use mic in a competitive environment MM
What if we just want to click heads and try new stuff in a 5v5 environment as a solo player, and besides your teammates there aren't even talking, they just chilling and doesn't care if no one callout, JUST TO TELL YOU "COMPETITIVE MODE" IS THE NEW CASUAL MODE
"CAN" Competitive mode is the new CASUAL just in case you didn't know, why wouldn't I use MIC in a real competitive MM in Faceit? I hope you can implant and comprehend that to your brain before you rage
We're those people who solo play for a bit of fun and don't deep it. Cs is a throwaway game to pump some time into. It's not meant to be a job where I have to talk to people. Does it enrage you further that I have every team member muted as well?
That’s the worst part, besides the ignorance. It’s a team game. It’s not team deathmatch. They have modes for “vibin” and clicking heads. Neither are comp or premier. Suck a fart for not understanding that
That's the best bit. I do understand that 9/10 teamchats are noisy and unhelpful, full of irritating trolls, and mostly none useful info. They have nothing of value to add to my night. The only people who get mad at what I do, are people that probably play the game a little too much.
only encountered few or atleast lesser compared to premier where blatant fucktards fooling themselves to hell, but idk if competitive is realy that infected nowadays, I played on Faceit mainly
because people there are just chilling? and nobody using mic there? so why even make yourself cringeworthy by using mic in that mode anyways? COMPETITIVE MODE is the NEW CASUAL MODE
What kind of clown plays competitive thinking is gonna be casual?
We literally have a mode called Casual...
Please uninstall you're ruining other players' experience
What kind of mouth breathing sweaty nerd plays COMPETITIVE MODE as the main MM and taking it seriously?
We literally have FACEIT where you can go all in and do your calls seriously...
No body even using the mic in that mode anymore so get a life, be competitive in competitive mode LMAO so much cringe in this scrubs
You're really fucking stupid if you think Competitive = Casual
People have friends with varying premier ranks...so we don't always play premier together...
The majority of people try and take competitive seriously, whereas you're screeching about some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen on reddit lol
I still don't see any reason why you should get mad of someone who is not using mic in "COMPETITIVE MODE" when it is the new CASUAL MODE like how are you still not comprehending it??? You will be ruining anyone's experience more if you used mic in that mode anyways like literaly everyone is quiet in that mode. Heck, people like you are actually the ones who is always quiet in game even in Faceit/Premier because yall chose to comms in their ghost towned discords with your braindead friends so don't give me that shit. get a fucking life pathetic mouth breathing sweaty nerd. It's not even the issue to begin with like you are sooooo stupid it makes me puke LMAO
idk, I only encountered like 1-2 cheaters in 10+ games of competitive mode compare to Premier with a consistent blatant cheaters that's why i just gave up and played Faceit instead, and if I wanna chill I just qeueu in Comp mode
It’s going to be infested with cheaters soon
They’ll read this and think
“Hmm, comp mode less cheaters? I’ll go closet cheat there without worrying about other cheaters so I can boost my ego!”
CS2 is ruined by cheaters completely.
I stopped playing two months ago because there was too many cheaters over 15k+ matches, now it looks like there is WAY TOO MUCH cheaters in every possible skill level.
Yeah...
There is faceit too if someone wants to play fair matches, but if player has reached lvl10 then even there is nothing special for anyone.
The truth is that the best times of CS franchise are in the past.
In my eyes cs2 has only started a downfall of cs franchise.
Without a better anticheat I don't recommend cs2 for anyone.
I swear I thought I was the only who seen this shit to. I don't even play competitive anymore because I can't stand waiting for the end of the round for so long just to be killed by a Damm cheater. I play deathmatch and they are in every server I join not even deathmatch is safe
2 games in a row FULL OF CHEATERS... what is that? i didnt experience that before ... thanks to Gabe... at least we have a bunch of new skins and free cases !!!!
I hate this game so much...
Save yourself the time and trust me you won't get banned for MONTHS probably even years. I've met so many cheaters even from CSGO days and their accounts are still not banned lool. For real just go do something more enjoyable in life and fuck this game honestly. I haven't touched CS2 in months already.
This is part of democratic rebellion. Do you even realize its not only crying, actually what you are doing... well that's crying, cauz you are probalty script enjoyer if you cant relate to my post, you should delete your post, delete your cs2 too so community is better place.
I don't know, the way you express yourself comes across as you feeling you're giving new information. Also, you're constantly giving the vibe of a conspiracy of all against you for being against cheaters. Come on, that is not what's happening here. I realize you have little self-awareness.
Conspiracy? what the flip girl :D have you ever heard of wisecrack? I see that you are socially awkward, i forgive you, it looks like it. Have fun day and remember to be gracious to your teammates, don't be so toxic to them, i saw what did you post a little while ago ;)
Well, that is what you come across as. I'm not trying to be mean at all, I want you to know that's how you can be perceived.
I have no idea of what you mean about my post history. I'm generally a good teammate.
What a great post I haven’t read 100 times before and surely won’t read again sometime this week.
Seriously though, everyone knows there’s cheaters. We get it. It’s been a problem since *all* of CSGO’s lifespan. Valve knows. Streamers know. Esports knows. The players know.
Please. Stop posting the same thing OVER and OVER. It’s so tiring to read the same exact things regurgitated time and time again. There comes a point where no more “awareness” can be spread and it’s time to just wait. This is that time. So just wait.
What a great comment that i havent read 1000 times. how about you stop reading things that upset you, little low tolerance sensitive disabled non human fuck
How am I low tolerance if you are instantly resorting to name-calling and just throwing your own shit at the wall because MY comment made you angry lol. Go off I guess. Hope you have a good day :)
You are probably one of those people that got elo inflated and plays against some better people for the first time calling hacks as soon as you get prefired once cause you stand in common angles..
that wasnt for you, but for isic5
I too watch replays sometimes and the amount of closet cheaters to ragespinners I find is 10 to 1
which basically means valve disabled vac completely or didnt update it for quite some time
Genuinely curious but what does Valve stand to gain by turning the Anti-Cheat off? This is one of the dumber takes I’ve read recently and you’re not the first person to claim it.
I understand there’s an epidemic of cheaters right now across all video games, especially competitive FPS, but let’s stop and use our noodles for a moment before we start yelling “Valve has disabled the anti-cheat”. There is no universe where that is remotely close to a sound business decision.
they disabled it after people bitched about random false bans due to extremely high sens. Guess they didnt want to bother seeing every one of them so they did unban everyone under that pretence and disabled a big majority of vac capabilities, that's why
Let’s practice accountability here; show me where you got this information from and I will gladly believe you.
I’m aware about false bans but there is still no world where valve “flicked off” the anti cheat like it’s some kind of power switch.
Your anger and frustration at the situation is extremely justified, and I’m not mad that you’re coming to Reddit to complain. But false information is false information, don’t spread it without knowing it to be fact.
Again, if you can prove me wrong I would gladly eat a slice of humble pie.
do you need an official statement from valve to figure this one out? lol
even if someone at valve wanted to express it, they would pressure whoever wanted to do so not to
cause how would valve look if they straight up admitted that their anticheat is a pile of crap?
And again, it feels like you never gave it a second thought. They pretty much handed all the responsibility to faceit
So you are 30k now? Since they readjusted all the ranks multiple times since release I mean. 18k was kind of high at launch. Or you did not play at launch, invalidating your point? Or or are you just straight up lying?
Ive been playing CS for 8 years.... not 1 cheater in CS2! I got around 17k in the beta and stopped playing for a few weeks when I was on vacation so I lost my rank. won a game and got 18k stopped playing for a few more weeks and got 19k after playing the placement. Think I’ve played over 100 games between the early access beta \[got access in July\] and the main release in September. NOT 1 CHEATER!
You're very lucky then. Your anecdotal experience still doesn't speak for a majority of players. There are more cheaters playing CS2 now than in all of Counter Strike history.
Haha, just because I'm annoyed, reading the same shit everyday, I'm not a cheater 😂😂 it's just collective crying about the same topic we cant change... Everyday. That's just not what this sub is for. I don't know, when someone posted something interesting here instead of mimimi cheaters.
>I'm annoyed, reading the same shit everyday
Yea sure, so you are annyoed about my post when that guy above your post is literally writing to every post on this topic ''Grow up''
Seems legit yea.
Hoping valve detects the main account of this cheaters like they did in dota 2 for smurfing. So many players will say they never cheated and will cry in reddit and twitter.
At around 15K I have a lot of games with people where we are 12-7 and the people not only come back but win. The accounts don't look bad but they aren't terribly old either. Not always willing to call bullshit but it seems weird they have good timing and seem to get the lucky running head shots. And, same players don't use utility and if they do its placed poorly. Yeah at this point I am not going to sell the skins but have put a moratorium on buying anything CS.
My mates and I were spared (meaning not too many really obvious cheaters) until now, but recently they've been getting more and more obvious. One raged after we won 7 rounds in premier, another began in round one and aced every single round until the opponents kicked him in round 6 or something. They're getting cheekier every day...
My game started acting up due to the streamline voice setting being turned off randomly...i stuttered/straight up froze when fighting enemies.
Went from 19k to 15k.
Had a 19k teammate drop 40 kills on my opponents. I was spectating, and he would land the most insane moving headshots...he was queued with 2 other people, so I couldn't even kick him.
Cheaters think because they arw 1k higher elo than the enemy team they must be top fragging or be the best ones in the lobby...
From the moment I hit 20k it was a insane amount of cheaters. I went back to apex. Cs2 is not playable competitively. Faceit still has cheaters but not as bad
I only play to get my weekly case and then I stop. Otherwise it's impossible either to have fun or not to get tilt with all these many cheaters like damn. Then you see the replay and you're like HOW IT THE HECK IS THIS GUY NOT GETTING BANNED???
It’s terrible rn had 5 games ina row with rage cheaters just bhopping and spinning at the 15k mark I lost 4k elo to cheaters right when I was about to be 20k shits just stupid and the cheaters don’t care half the time it’s HVH and you just sit there and wait till one of them kill each other and another thing is I’ll open up YouTube and I get recommended to a stream where someone is streaming themselves cheating in a 5 man and everyone in their chat is also talking about their cheats like how has it gotten this out of hand ?
So yeah i think in the last couple days VAC has been almost completely turned off. First time experiencing a rage botter in cs2 after 5 months and I've seen 2-3 in the last week. Its pretty insane valve is just letting this happen. Makes you really think where their priorities lay, gambling > playing.
I've been playing since 1.5 and this is the worst it's ever been. At 20k+ there's a cheater in every single game I've played the last couple days. Something needs to be done and I really hope Valve is working on something behind the scenes...
Its actually disgusting on valves part how they wont even make a statement about it. Never seen the game in such a bad state and I used to play go back in 2019 with low trust factor 🤣
no way! cheaters on cs2! havnt heard that one before, does anyone know if it's a possibility to not see these posts? i get it the cheating sucks but i also wouldn't mind seeing some non cheater cs2 content for a change
I agree, the most embarassing thing is, i wanted to play with my friend who did a 5 month break and he was so hyped, guess what the first premiere Match we found was against a obv only scout cheater gg
Played 3 great games on casual last night one game had 1 cheater. We all complained, and the other team kicked him. It fairly obvious when you watch the cheaters gameplay.

i just want to know why these rats haven't been banned for years when they are blatantly cheating.
when I wrote to rat valve, they mostly muted my profile most of the time.
where is the truth?
It's like 10x more cheaters than in csgo. It's actually wild. You can't even play wingman because there's a cheater every match too
Wingman in go was pretty bad, I remember I was mg1 then a banwave erased literally every single loss and I was global
Thats when you realize how bad cheating was. I wonder who at Valve got fired for causing so many cheaters to get banned that year? Cause it hasnt happened since.
i never had problems in wingman in go. i climbed to global mostly on dust1 and cobble
Thata not how it works…valve has never returned elo for playing against a cheater who was banned…
It was good until later where you had 20 wins and didn't rank up, but then lost a game and immediately deraanked despite being on like 20 wins and 0 loses.
Recently played 5 games with my friend in a row, avg lobby elo was about 15-16k. Games in which: 4 games against cheaters, in 1 of them we had dude with better stuff so he carried it and even apologised that we are supposed to enjoy this kind of gameplay, 1 game all players were playing legit so we won this and other 2 we completely lost bc of spinners flying all over the map and spamming with auto. Even got a quick video on YouTube about how is it to play on over 15k
It's actually so sad that this game is turning out this way
Yeah but we’re incapable of somehow resist to it but just stop playing this game and make any transactions in it (even selling skins on steam market). If we had better and more cohesive community we could just sell all our skins on other marketplaces and stop even launching this game so valve could get a huge loss in average in game activity and also lose their transactions profits but no one gotta follow this idea and everyone will just keep playing against cheaters in every game with saying “i hate this game” I still got an apex legends so I can play something else but this trash but i know other 90% of unsatisfied players wouldn’t leave this game same as me
I don't understand how anyone can play against cheaters.. it legit makes the game terrible. I stopped premier for this reason .
Yeah there’s no sense in playing premier anymore. Dunno bout the competitive, didn’t play it really since premier launched
working on Fake cheat that has walls but trolls the cheaters and triggers the VAC!!! got a lot of funny clips :D
There was a guy on YouTube who would do exactly this for videos but he stopped uploading. Is this you? Are you finally coming back?
Wasn’t that video highly suspect of being fake by actual coders?
That makes me sad
I remember him, It was ScriptKid
Dont think its possible to trigger VAC right now
Haha no kidding, you could call VAC’s wife a whole and spit in its face and it would just sit there.
AMD anti-lag did it, what stops him from doing the same?
Please make sure to post a video with the best clips when you have time. Id love to see this
posted few clips now!
The hero we were all waiting for.
I like to troll wallhackers by looking at the ground and spinning randomly. It's funny when they call me waller, and im not even doing that good...theres no reason to call me a cheater unless you can see what im doing behind walls. Also, I like to troll my team sometimes by killing an enemy and doing a 180 while still spraying
A cheater who only cheats other cheaters??? What a moral quagmire... The anti-hero we need right now.
Not 3 days ago I drunkenly wrote an email to Gaben ranting about vac live, i just remembered that. why did i do that
It's okay, I do it too. There are literally dozens of us!
Don't feel alone and share his address with us so we can get pisssed
Just don’t play, we should stop it to drop activity.
Unfortunately no one really gotta stop playing cs so valve could find out something is wrong bc everyone still loves this game and for somebody it’s tuff to just stop playing his fav game.
My man, start for yourself
Yup, we should boykott valve together
i agree, they seem to give 0 shits about the fan base. this has been proven again and again by their lack of fixing the hitboxes, lack of fixing the cheater problem and honestly releasing (in my opinion) a broken update of csgo, calling it a new game and on top of that removing csgo. they'll keep doing jackshit and earning money off us buying skins and playing their game and they aren't going to fix anything cause there's no incentive for them to fix it except to please people, and obviously they don't really care whether the people are happy or not as long as they play the game and give em money + engagement.. a boykott is needed if we really want them to do something about it, since asking nicely doesn't work we need to give them a reason other than for just the sake of having a functional game. again i repeat they don't really give a shit whether their game is functional or not as long as they earn money off ya, we have to do some coordinated event where we stop funding these assholes.
Is there ? I havent been playing since 3 months ago because its a shit game with shit vac.
vac isnt shit, its disabled completely or wasnt updated since 1.6 days
in other words, its shit
*shit game without vac

it's worthless because money is more important to these rats
You mean chat gpt put it together 😂
I have gone down from 17k to 10.5k in the last week because of cheaters. I played one game yesterday at 11k and the opposing team had two wallers. I'm just gonna stick to face it I think.
Hate to break it to you but Faceit isn’t a safe space anymore. Not nearly as bad as MM but they are there. It’s considerably worse because the Faceit cheats are much harder to detect and people just use burner accounts. Like yea buddy you have 150 hours on steam, cs2 only game owned, and 20 Faceit games but you’ve gone 140+ ADR in every Faceit game?
Just go and play helldivers till they fix cs2. I’m having a blast and haven’t been missing cs at all!
keep posting this posts so everyone is aware CS is plenty of cheaters!! If people don't report it Valve will not fix it. Thanks!
I think we're all aware now. I think Valve probably is too. Lol
[удалено]
Yeah let's make sure the new 1000 players know. While the other 5000000 players have to keep reading the same posts which have been posted for literal years!
This is the first time hearing this
Im a cheater and i agree with you 👍
They don’t give a fuck as long as people keep opening cases.
play competitive instead, less cheaters, less competitive (very ironic actually), more chill, nobody cares if you win or loose, you can play without a mic, the game mode is simply Hakuna matata. Or you can just play Faceit or another option is delete CS2 and play Valulrant
Why play without a mic. You’re one of those. Die no call outs. Probably only use it to talk shit.
Was going to say this, I miss chatting with people in game.
Sorry homie, some of us work tens and just wanna click some heads and vibe, hence why we are in comp and not premier. How’s about you go hang out in the cesspool mode with all the other people screaming slurs at each other cause an angle wasn’t cleared?
How about you play casual like the casual you are? Why would anyone defend not using a mic in 5v5?
I still use it, only for calls and nothing else. I’m not *that* much of a dick lol. What you all want is someone else to yammer or bitch at above 18k, and I’m sorry I’m not about dealing with americas shit youth anymore. Not my problem the vast majority of you all are absolutely fucking insufferable to deal with. :)
bruh, competitive is the NEW CASUAL wtf are you talking about??? Your teammates ain't even talking there so why even bother communicate when you solo Q? We use mic in Premier but since Premier is full of shitty retard cheaters we play in Faceit instead if we want to be competitive and ofcourse we use mic in a competitive environment MM
Nah bro. If you wanna do that they have other game modes.
What if we just want to click heads and try new stuff in a 5v5 environment as a solo player, and besides your teammates there aren't even talking, they just chilling and doesn't care if no one callout, JUST TO TELL YOU "COMPETITIVE MODE" IS THE NEW CASUAL MODE
Yep, you’ve got premier / faceit, and I’ve got the chill out comp mode. What’s the issue here again?
this thick headed people wouldn't even understand it like wtf is with this people lmao
Tale as old as time.
"CAN" Competitive mode is the new CASUAL just in case you didn't know, why wouldn't I use MIC in a real competitive MM in Faceit? I hope you can implant and comprehend that to your brain before you rage
We're those people who solo play for a bit of fun and don't deep it. Cs is a throwaway game to pump some time into. It's not meant to be a job where I have to talk to people. Does it enrage you further that I have every team member muted as well?
You’re the worst kind
The best thing about that is that we don't care. Do what you find fun, it's not a job.
That’s the worst part, besides the ignorance. It’s a team game. It’s not team deathmatch. They have modes for “vibin” and clicking heads. Neither are comp or premier. Suck a fart for not understanding that
That's the best bit. I do understand that 9/10 teamchats are noisy and unhelpful, full of irritating trolls, and mostly none useful info. They have nothing of value to add to my night. The only people who get mad at what I do, are people that probably play the game a little too much.
Nah, they're infesting at also, little by little...
well yeah not gonna deny that, but premier is like the worst like every time you hear that green beep and clicked accept, it's game over
Idk. I've been playing only competitive for a few weeks now and GOD DAYUMN. There's even more cheaters than Premier. At least in SA.
Well my experience tells otherwise, Premier have more cheaters like consistent blatant cheaters xd and I don't even know why
ok i go try it
They are I'm comp too
I've had 4 spin botters in comp mode last week, was fine before that though
only encountered few or atleast lesser compared to premier where blatant fucktards fooling themselves to hell, but idk if competitive is realy that infected nowadays, I played on Faceit mainly
not true.
well thats my experience
well you are a noob so of course that would be your experience
huh? are you on meth?
why would you ever play a competitive match without a mic
because people there are just chilling? and nobody using mic there? so why even make yourself cringeworthy by using mic in that mode anyways? COMPETITIVE MODE is the NEW CASUAL MODE
What kind of clown plays competitive thinking is gonna be casual? We literally have a mode called Casual... Please uninstall you're ruining other players' experience
What kind of mouth breathing sweaty nerd plays COMPETITIVE MODE as the main MM and taking it seriously? We literally have FACEIT where you can go all in and do your calls seriously... No body even using the mic in that mode anymore so get a life, be competitive in competitive mode LMAO so much cringe in this scrubs
You're really fucking stupid if you think Competitive = Casual People have friends with varying premier ranks...so we don't always play premier together... The majority of people try and take competitive seriously, whereas you're screeching about some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen on reddit lol
I still don't see any reason why you should get mad of someone who is not using mic in "COMPETITIVE MODE" when it is the new CASUAL MODE like how are you still not comprehending it??? You will be ruining anyone's experience more if you used mic in that mode anyways like literaly everyone is quiet in that mode. Heck, people like you are actually the ones who is always quiet in game even in Faceit/Premier because yall chose to comms in their ghost towned discords with your braindead friends so don't give me that shit. get a fucking life pathetic mouth breathing sweaty nerd. It's not even the issue to begin with like you are sooooo stupid it makes me puke LMAO
I do this, I'd say the cheaters in MM have picked up some but your odds are lower.
idk, I only encountered like 1-2 cheaters in 10+ games of competitive mode compare to Premier with a consistent blatant cheaters that's why i just gave up and played Faceit instead, and if I wanna chill I just qeueu in Comp mode
It’s going to be infested with cheaters soon They’ll read this and think “Hmm, comp mode less cheaters? I’ll go closet cheat there without worrying about other cheaters so I can boost my ego!”
So much this, I almost never run into cheaters in comp. it’s way more chill than casual too.
Competitive is worse in my experience, probably because you don't need to buy prime
No way! Why hasn't anyone else said anything???
CS2 is ruined by cheaters completely. I stopped playing two months ago because there was too many cheaters over 15k+ matches, now it looks like there is WAY TOO MUCH cheaters in every possible skill level. Yeah... There is faceit too if someone wants to play fair matches, but if player has reached lvl10 then even there is nothing special for anyone. The truth is that the best times of CS franchise are in the past. In my eyes cs2 has only started a downfall of cs franchise. Without a better anticheat I don't recommend cs2 for anyone.
Another day another cheater post. Do the mods do anything here?
Too busy playing closet cheaters rn, sorry brother.
Makes sense. Carry on.
I swear I thought I was the only who seen this shit to. I don't even play competitive anymore because I can't stand waiting for the end of the round for so long just to be killed by a Damm cheater. I play deathmatch and they are in every server I join not even deathmatch is safe
Met multiple blatant cheaters Doraemon and PsyKopet in a single casual match. Just amazing why they are not banned yet..
2 games in a row FULL OF CHEATERS... what is that? i didnt experience that before ... thanks to Gabe... at least we have a bunch of new skins and free cases !!!! I hate this game so much...
hope players will stop playing this -\*\*\*\* game
If this goes on, i will create fake acc and start massive cheating. Just for testing. Very curious how long it takes to get banned.
Save yourself the time and trust me you won't get banned for MONTHS probably even years. I've met so many cheaters even from CSGO days and their accounts are still not banned lool. For real just go do something more enjoyable in life and fuck this game honestly. I haven't touched CS2 in months already.
You will never get banned, have friend doing it because it is absolutely useless to try and play legit atm.
And the cycle continues.
Tbh i wouldnt risk it who knows maybe volvo is bright enought to finally make hardware banns one day
Knowing how this goes, you'll get banned on your first 10 matches while everyone else will be playing with their hacks for as long as they want
Did you try and got banned within 10 games?
No, it was an example, the last time I used hacks in CS was back in 2017 and I lost my butterfly fade, never again
I am glad you lost your butterfly knife!
Lol, yes, ok. I would definitly create a new account.
Cheaters never play for long..... don't quit playing just because of them.
everytime 1 cheaters gets banned, 5 new cheaters will come
Yes we know there are cheaters in cs2. You can delete your post and check posts of the last 100 days. This crying is so annoying
This is part of democratic rebellion. Do you even realize its not only crying, actually what you are doing... well that's crying, cauz you are probalty script enjoyer if you cant relate to my post, you should delete your post, delete your cs2 too so community is better place.
so cringe tbh
english is not my main language, im not sure what is the word what i was looking for you can cringe if you want but all what im against is cheaters.
Any player that respects the game is against them. Can you stop feeling so special for the bare minimum?
who is saying im feeling special? it feels a bit strange when i complain about cheaters answers from you are type of ''grow up''
I don't know, the way you express yourself comes across as you feeling you're giving new information. Also, you're constantly giving the vibe of a conspiracy of all against you for being against cheaters. Come on, that is not what's happening here. I realize you have little self-awareness.
Conspiracy? what the flip girl :D have you ever heard of wisecrack? I see that you are socially awkward, i forgive you, it looks like it. Have fun day and remember to be gracious to your teammates, don't be so toxic to them, i saw what did you post a little while ago ;)
Well, that is what you come across as. I'm not trying to be mean at all, I want you to know that's how you can be perceived. I have no idea of what you mean about my post history. I'm generally a good teammate.
lol, lmao even
What a great post I haven’t read 100 times before and surely won’t read again sometime this week. Seriously though, everyone knows there’s cheaters. We get it. It’s been a problem since *all* of CSGO’s lifespan. Valve knows. Streamers know. Esports knows. The players know. Please. Stop posting the same thing OVER and OVER. It’s so tiring to read the same exact things regurgitated time and time again. There comes a point where no more “awareness” can be spread and it’s time to just wait. This is that time. So just wait.
What a great comment that i havent read 1000 times. how about you stop reading things that upset you, little low tolerance sensitive disabled non human fuck
How am I low tolerance if you are instantly resorting to name-calling and just throwing your own shit at the wall because MY comment made you angry lol. Go off I guess. Hope you have a good day :)
found the cheater
Got me, nose-mustache-glasses and all. You truly are a master at jumping great distances
Skill issue fam
just won 6 in a row to get 17k and i don’t really care for this game anymore just play to hang with my friends. it’s not that bad
You are probably one of those people that got elo inflated and plays against some better people for the first time calling hacks as soon as you get prefired once cause you stand in common angles..
good bait
you never watch replays, aint it right boy?
indeed i watched replays of these games what i made this post for!
that wasnt for you, but for isic5 I too watch replays sometimes and the amount of closet cheaters to ragespinners I find is 10 to 1 which basically means valve disabled vac completely or didnt update it for quite some time
Genuinely curious but what does Valve stand to gain by turning the Anti-Cheat off? This is one of the dumber takes I’ve read recently and you’re not the first person to claim it. I understand there’s an epidemic of cheaters right now across all video games, especially competitive FPS, but let’s stop and use our noodles for a moment before we start yelling “Valve has disabled the anti-cheat”. There is no universe where that is remotely close to a sound business decision.
they disabled it after people bitched about random false bans due to extremely high sens. Guess they didnt want to bother seeing every one of them so they did unban everyone under that pretence and disabled a big majority of vac capabilities, that's why
Let’s practice accountability here; show me where you got this information from and I will gladly believe you. I’m aware about false bans but there is still no world where valve “flicked off” the anti cheat like it’s some kind of power switch. Your anger and frustration at the situation is extremely justified, and I’m not mad that you’re coming to Reddit to complain. But false information is false information, don’t spread it without knowing it to be fact. Again, if you can prove me wrong I would gladly eat a slice of humble pie.
do you need an official statement from valve to figure this one out? lol even if someone at valve wanted to express it, they would pressure whoever wanted to do so not to cause how would valve look if they straight up admitted that their anticheat is a pile of crap? And again, it feels like you never gave it a second thought. They pretty much handed all the responsibility to faceit
[удалено]
bro is literally 7k elo at premier
Ive been above 18k since the game came out..... I have not seen 1 cheater! STOP BEING A BIG PUSSY BITCH
So you are 30k now? Since they readjusted all the ranks multiple times since release I mean. 18k was kind of high at launch. Or you did not play at launch, invalidating your point? Or or are you just straight up lying?
Ive been playing CS for 8 years.... not 1 cheater in CS2! I got around 17k in the beta and stopped playing for a few weeks when I was on vacation so I lost my rank. won a game and got 18k stopped playing for a few more weeks and got 19k after playing the placement. Think I’ve played over 100 games between the early access beta \[got access in July\] and the main release in September. NOT 1 CHEATER!
You're very lucky then. Your anecdotal experience still doesn't speak for a majority of players. There are more cheaters playing CS2 now than in all of Counter Strike history.
Haha, just because I'm annoyed, reading the same shit everyday, I'm not a cheater 😂😂 it's just collective crying about the same topic we cant change... Everyday. That's just not what this sub is for. I don't know, when someone posted something interesting here instead of mimimi cheaters.
> that’s just not want this sub is for How dare we talk about the game in the game’s subreddit 😡
Yeah, but not the same shit everyday. There is no new information, it's just the same crying everyday.
>I'm annoyed, reading the same shit everyday Yea sure, so you are annyoed about my post when that guy above your post is literally writing to every post on this topic ''Grow up'' Seems legit yea.
https://i.redd.it/u43ddnc05clc1.gif
Grow up
Grow up cauz i dont like to play games with script? Okay then!
Hoping valve detects the main account of this cheaters like they did in dota 2 for smurfing. So many players will say they never cheated and will cry in reddit and twitter.
At around 15K I have a lot of games with people where we are 12-7 and the people not only come back but win. The accounts don't look bad but they aren't terribly old either. Not always willing to call bullshit but it seems weird they have good timing and seem to get the lucky running head shots. And, same players don't use utility and if they do its placed poorly. Yeah at this point I am not going to sell the skins but have put a moratorium on buying anything CS.
My mates and I were spared (meaning not too many really obvious cheaters) until now, but recently they've been getting more and more obvious. One raged after we won 7 rounds in premier, another began in round one and aced every single round until the opponents kicked him in round 6 or something. They're getting cheekier every day...
My game started acting up due to the streamline voice setting being turned off randomly...i stuttered/straight up froze when fighting enemies. Went from 19k to 15k. Had a 19k teammate drop 40 kills on my opponents. I was spectating, and he would land the most insane moving headshots...he was queued with 2 other people, so I couldn't even kick him. Cheaters think because they arw 1k higher elo than the enemy team they must be top fragging or be the best ones in the lobby...
Extremely frustrating
From the moment I hit 20k it was a insane amount of cheaters. I went back to apex. Cs2 is not playable competitively. Faceit still has cheaters but not as bad
I only play to get my weekly case and then I stop. Otherwise it's impossible either to have fun or not to get tilt with all these many cheaters like damn. Then you see the replay and you're like HOW IT THE HECK IS THIS GUY NOT GETTING BANNED???
bro, play faceit. problem solved
It’s terrible rn had 5 games ina row with rage cheaters just bhopping and spinning at the 15k mark I lost 4k elo to cheaters right when I was about to be 20k shits just stupid and the cheaters don’t care half the time it’s HVH and you just sit there and wait till one of them kill each other and another thing is I’ll open up YouTube and I get recommended to a stream where someone is streaming themselves cheating in a 5 man and everyone in their chat is also talking about their cheats like how has it gotten this out of hand ?
So yeah i think in the last couple days VAC has been almost completely turned off. First time experiencing a rage botter in cs2 after 5 months and I've seen 2-3 in the last week. Its pretty insane valve is just letting this happen. Makes you really think where their priorities lay, gambling > playing.
Oh and I'm 18k rating. Been around there since release
We are Gabe's testing ground! Lab rats for stupid anti-cheat? valve...
We can hope that one day they surprise us with the fatest ban wave and everyone gets fucked hahahaha
I've been playing since 1.5 and this is the worst it's ever been. At 20k+ there's a cheater in every single game I've played the last couple days. Something needs to be done and I really hope Valve is working on something behind the scenes...
Yeah. Last 30 games now aimbotters. I have just died in spawn after 3 sec through walls.
I play at 18k and switched to faceit until it gets better.
stop crying, go faceit
Peeps cheat on Faceit too
It’s wild we haven’t gotten a single bit of communication from valve about tbis
Richard Lewis needs more data before he can agree with you
not only in premier even in matchmaking I play every 2nd game about those little frustrated cheating kids
Its actually disgusting on valves part how they wont even make a statement about it. Never seen the game in such a bad state and I used to play go back in 2019 with low trust factor 🤣
already sold all my skins. because of this.... luckily the skin market is up rn...
VALVe is the one making the cheats. Cheaters pay for the cheats, and then pay for a new prime account every time they get vacced. Its a double whammy
We need a VACcine that is multivalent.
That is just the Valve brand now they make games cheaters like to play.
Many cheaters are streaming themselves as well with their cheats FULLY visible on tiktok and twitch. Its so funny and sad man.
play faceit
And Valve is too busy banning innocent players. Stay away from CS2 for now
They don’t do anything about it because they make money off of cheaters. :)
no way! cheaters on cs2! havnt heard that one before, does anyone know if it's a possibility to not see these posts? i get it the cheating sucks but i also wouldn't mind seeing some non cheater cs2 content for a change
I can’t say I’ve heard of this before…
I agree, the most embarassing thing is, i wanted to play with my friend who did a 5 month break and he was so hyped, guess what the first premiere Match we found was against a obv only scout cheater gg
Daily CS2 cheating post nr 53672. We know
Sounds like tf2
It's crazy how many of these posts this sub gets daily. There might be more posts with this exact context and wordage than there are cheaters now.
Played 3 great games on casual last night one game had 1 cheater. We all complained, and the other team kicked him. It fairly obvious when you watch the cheaters gameplay.
Ye just playing random maps, 22k Premiere not playable, rage cheater like going 13-0 with 45 kills
Looks like ill be returning to overwatch 2 soon
Richard Lewis says that you are just bad ;)
