Everyone Is F@*king Leaving CS2 

VALVE I FUCKING BEG YOU MAN, HOW THE FUCK DOES VAC NOT RECOGNIZING SPINBOT INSTANTLY

Valve knows how to put out banger games, but not taking care of them, TF2: abandoned, CS: a joke full of cheaters. I'll never understand why Valve adresses literally nothing, they're like the dad who goes for a pack of cigarettes and never comes back LMFAO

>Ignores TF2 cheating problem >Ignores CS cheating problem Valve: Why are we getting bad rep?

If WarOwl says he's quitting then it's serious... and he still has no closer.

Y'all roasted this guy's haircut so much in the last video, now he's wearing a hat

CS is getting the daily TF2 experience, which is both hilarious and sad.

Rather than boycotting the game, if they boycott the steam market: not open any cases, not buy or sell any skins. Then, valve would try to do something

I hate the people who say “just play faceit” like I shouldn’t have to download a third party system to play the game normally. That’s like having two tv remotes that separately change the volume and channel

its hilarious that big creators are "boycotting" the game while turning around to open cases and actively give money to one of the most profitable companies in the industry. the only thing these companies pay attention to is if theyre getting the money they expect you to shell out without thinking, and if everyone wises up to that and stops mindlessly giving them money, valve might actually realize they _need_ to do something about it

Cs2 isn't about competitive gaming it's all about selling digital skins and boxes for rediculus prices. That's how valve makes money and a lot of people don't even care about the game as long as the store is working and making their addicted brains satisfied enough.

I quit too if anyone cares

What really fuels CS (and Valve) at this point is the gambling addiction around the game. The game can be unplayable, but teh addicts are still hooked and will buy cases until they go broke. And only long after the game is completely dead, they'll realize that all their investments are worthless. Maybe quit your addiction now, before it's gonna cost you everything.

This new trend of deleting the old game and forcing everyone to play their new version is one of the dumbest things that showed up in modern games and Im disappointed Valve dived in this nonsense. I guess they are paying the price now.

I don’t care that employees at valve can work on whatever the fuck they want. They need a fucking dedicated development team for this game. A fucking cornerstone esport

hacking has been the MAIN issue in counter strike for over a decade, its crazy to think that they didnt fix a thing on the release of cs2 alongside it still being worse than ever 7 months after the release...

If they take cheaters as serious as tf2, its probaly fixed in 20 years ish

IF and only IF valve is working on an anticheat so powerful it will put the fear of god into everyone and everything, then maybe just maybe having to deal with all these cheaters might have been worth it

Anomaly saying hes leaving the game and a few days later opening 6500 cases....yeah XD

TF2 Players: First time?

I fucking hate Valve that treats it's audience as some sort of social experiment instead of actual human beings.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything will happen until the player numbers significantly drop and cases stopped being opened. I know it's unrealistic to ask a creator like anomaly to take a huge hit of revenue to stop CS content altogether, but his words won't sting unless he FULLY goes to a third party gambling site.

I played the game for 10 years and quit two months ago. The nonexistent anticheat or lack thereof ruined the game. Even before CS2, it was bad, but now it's unplayable. Valve, you wasted 5,000 hours of my life.

My wet dream is valve dropping new season update with map rotation working ac and huge ban wave, two weeks later new operation, dreams... What CS needs is competitor and I'm not talking about valorant which is not even close to what CS is, I am talking about a game which will make valve devs look at each other and be like ' shit we actually have to do something or we lose tons of money ' but right now there is no game close to cs so they simply don't give a fuck because people will come back no matter what because there isn't good enough alternative.

its gotten to the point that me and my friends are "happy" when we play vs neckbeards who "only" have wallhack , the crazy thing is all these cheaters are so bad it looks like they play with a flight simulator joystick.

tf is actually happening inside valve? its like no one is working on cs2, last dota 2 update was ages ago

All valve need to do is let us know they’ve acknowledged the problem. By being silent on the issue it comes across that they don’t care and that’s probably not true but it just seems so disrespectful to stay in the dark about it

why focus on premier and mm when most of their profit comes from gambling addicts opening cases and trading. as long as hackers dont interfere with that they wont really care.

First time I play this game, not even on premiere, 3rd match i enter and there’s one guy looking at the floor and getting all the killss. Had no idea what this is until a week later.

Need to stop playing AND stop opening cases until they respond and fix things

Gabe doesn't care about CS, he wants it to die. He's a Dota2 andy.

They aren't quitting. They're playing Faceit only now and happily still pushing CS skin sponsors. So in other words, they're all just clickbaiting.

I quit months ago, because 2 cheaters with very obvious wall hacks and bunny hops joined, my whole team reported them and weeks pasted and they were still playing the game on the same account without no problem. Valve doesn't care so why should we? Just stop playing this game until they care about it.

I am so burnt out on FPS games right now. I have thousands of hours in CS and R6, among other comp fps titles, and everywhere I go right now is infested with cheaters. The moment you start gaining MMR, the odds of facing hackers goes up and up and up. All my life I have been a comp FPS player, but lately, i have found myself not wanting to play any of my favorite games because I know I will just face hackers. Hunt, r6,cs,cod, everything I try has cheaters. I try to go back to old games: cheaters. I try new ones: cheaters. what is going on?

Even this probably won't be enough to fix anything.

my friend started hacking to see how fast he can get banned , he did with 2 diffrent accounts and u not gonna believe that it takes 35-40 games to get banned each time by valve

The mental gymnastics you do at 6:12 are actually hilarious. What were you thinking lol

It's so sad to see how much of a cess pool this game has turned into. Anything above 20k elo is unplayable HvH lobbies, anything above Gold 1 in comp is unplayable HvH lobbies. Comp ranks are completely broken, 95% of the player base are ranked Gold 1 or below. I've had TONS of Silver 3-EM lobbies where there's Faceit Lvl 10 players on the enemy team with 50+ comp games played, but they're still in Silver/low gold with 80% WRs.

Arrow doesn’t even play cs in the first place, dude just sits in calls with big creators or opens cases on stream

Everygame is reaching that point currently havent touched my pc for over a month

Its really bad im turning 30 this years so im not as sharp as i was 10 years ago playing 1.6 so i just want to enjoy the game but its so bad that i just dont want to open the game at all

Was on board, but paused and leaving once I heard that they aren't actually leaving the game, they're just playing it the way every other content creator has been playing competitive CS since FaceIt came into being. This is nothing, they are doing nothing, and nothing is going come of it, because nothing begets nothing.

Valve won't fix this until they will be back from vacation on beaches

they will never fix the anti cheat

every time i join a lobby its empty and when i do see people on its the same people I usually see on everyday

Valve: " Oh no CS2 is fked rn. Let's ask s1mple then"

removed 60+% of maps, griefing reports can be done by enemies, cheaters (including build in commands), shitty engine. What is there not to like.

sorry did you just put walt jr on the thumbnail next to anomaly and warowl

Didn't Valve release a statement on Team Fortress 2's current state (Filled with spin bot on official Valve servers) and has since done NOTHING to follow up?

no, no. they’ve got the point

Im also waiting for valve to actually do something. I havent played since 2 weeks ago, im playing league of legends and am having tons of fun xD

Has anyone also quit the game because all your friends quit the game and have no friends to play with ✋.

man, I love how warowl managed to hit two birds with one stone there.

Dont worry guys Valve is probably working on half life 3 so the new anti cheat for cs 2 will be released in like 5 years 👍

I hope everybody boycott CS two until they fix the game and go back to counterstrike 1.6 in counterstrike source community servers. Show the OG games some love.

It's beautiful to see a community finaly stand up and demonstrate against devs *together*.

Wish you covered the rising player count more at the end

Delete CS2 and bring back CSGO

5:00 What is he talking about??? He has NA selected as a filter and is shocked that players from EU and other regions aren't shown? Just select ALL lol

spinners in all my office games feelsbadman

Thinking about this from a business staindpoint, and the talk about AI anticheat, I can't say with 100% certainty what valve is doing. BUT, It takes time, and more specifically training data (hacker demos) to develop an AI anticheat. The more time, and the more hackers present, the more accurate it will be. Also, it does not make sense from a business standpoint to release a game, then abandon the game within six months. It's a horrible investment of resources, and when anticheat is the primary issue with people leaving the game, they know it will cost them to never implement. Call it copium, but the current outlook of "release cs2 and instantly abandon it" genuinely doesn't make sense.

Quiting cs2 and switching to valorant is the best experience but valve need to fix it.

No they aren't, they still buying skins lmao

I don't play any FPS shooters anymore but back before when Valorant released, a couple months after, I started playing and got hooked. After over a decade of CS, it was a great breath of fresh air where the servers felt good, the gunplay was responsive, peekers advantage was not nearly as bad as CS, and the community wasn't toxic (at least in the way of CS). Best of all, MAYBE one cheater in the hundreds of hours I pumped into the game. I stopped playing games altogether, but returned when CS2 came out to see if it can bring me back. Fourth game in, found a cheater. Fifth game, found a cheater. Both blatent. I gave up. It's clear the game was rushed out to compete with Valorant's encrouchment on their territory. This isn't a shill about what game is better than the other, but one certainly feels a whole lot better playing it because of some issues Riot addressed that Valve can't seem to address. No gambling and no cheating. Valve can make great games but fuck if they can't support them well. It's always the community that needs to do ALL the heavy lifting. Third party anti-cheat, making their skins, events, etc. Take off the rose tinted glasses, Valve is not nearly as good as people think they are AS GAME DEVELOPERS.

If valve actually fixes vac it could also help TF2s bot problem

5:12 is not because they are cheating or something, the rank number is global and the dude has the filter of NA region, that's why he only sees some numbers from the people in that region...

Lol, for all of these guys shitting on Valorant, they have to admit that you don't see cheaters nearly as often.

5:52 Important to consider that Valve is the only storefront that 99% of people use. They're still going to be getting tons of money even if cs2's activity drops, it might not even effect them at all. They're not going to care enough to fix anything.

My friends and I used to get on after work and play 3-6 times a week. We all just quit within the last few weeks because even us silver scrubs are running into cheaters in a consistent basis.

"everyone is leaving cs2" WarOwl was live on cs2 right when this video was posted

Valve letting cheaters cheat to reveal the cheats to AI

Just please solve the brightness issue,is too bright

Really enjoy your takes on games man. Don't always 100% agree but I like your style. No dckriding. But still no overdramatizing

and people say Valorant anti cheat is too "Intrusive"

Just switch to Valorant ❤

7:35 when the dev said that he meant you cant just directly port it over to the new engine they had to rebuild the game from scratch, he was saying it’d be impossible to take csgo and put it on source 2. And he wasn’t wrong, they had to remake the game from scratch which meant getting rid of all the little bandaid patches and rebuild the systems from scratch to what they were at the end of csgo. If they didnt do this the game would be a buggy mess because of all the little bandaid fixes they made which doesnt really adress the issue in the first place just makes it less noticeable

The only way this could ever be justifiable (and it still wouldn't be 100% justified to have to put up with the current state of the game) is like you said, IF they're working on the pinnacle of anti-cheat. That is the only way they could in any way justify the lack of communication and persistence of the issues at hand. Although it probably is just copium, I really hope they can pull through with something that is so good, we won't ever need to worry about cheating again. It's entirely possible with the advancement in AI tech, but it's also entirely possible that they're just doing nothing & don't care.

Valorant clears

Valve Doesn't give a fuck... It's been more than 7-8 months ....

At this point, I'm convinced that there are less cheaters in Tarkov

I have left CS2 3 months ago, a game I’ve played since 2012, sits dormant in my steam library for the first time since then.

Fuck this, im going back to half-life deathmatch

TF2 has had a spinbotting bot problem ruining valve-sponsored matchmaking for somewhere around 3-4 years at this point. Hoping that the threat to valve's cash cow in CS2 might actually bring about changes to VAC and improvements to preventative anticheat.

I haven't placed cs since 2015, I was Supreme master in competitive. I tried CS2 last week and it feels like a whole new game, granted I'm not nearly as good as I used to be, but still. Felt really different.

CS2 Player Wishlist: 1. We need Subtick WITH 128 Tick. 2. Better anti cheat for Matchmaking and Premier. 3. Cl_bob, Clear_Decals reintroduced. 4. Older game modes and community modes like surf reintroduced/ revamped. 5. Fix dying behind walls, rubberbanding, and the insane peekers advantage. 6. Improve Bunny hopping and movement. 7. We should always able to reconnect if network drops. 8. Fix the "XYZ" did not accept the match problem where the accept icon does not even show up. 9. We need Train, Cache, and Cobblestone back. 10. If all or most of these are met, a new operation would be awesome.

stuff like that is why i support ID check for steam accounts and invasive anti-cheat

The issue with Valve as a developer is that their money don't depend on their games, it doesn't even affect its economy in the slightest because of how much money they make with Steam

5:35 HOLY SHIT. THANK YOU. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. Literally the first channel I've heared this since YEARS. The first actual voice of reason. THIS is the way, and the only way invoke change. I don't know why people had the idea to "boycott" the game by not playing on the official servers. If anything, VALVE likes that as they can just shut down excess servers which saves them more money. It's the MONEY that makes them concerned eventually, and not playing the game doesn't lose them any money. Don't buy cases and keys, don't open cases, don't buy/sell skins. You can eventually return to doing that but first, make them do the work. We have a saying in germany, which goes as follows: "Erst die Ware, dann das Geld". It roughly translates to: First the goods, second the money. You don't go to a grocery store, pay the cashier 100€ in advance before entering, just to realize they don't even have anything in stock. Well, sucks for you, your 100€ is mine now. That would never happen, not because it's illegal, but because nobody would be that dumb and outright retarded to do this. So please, don't do it on the internet, either.

They had the chance to make the game based on the anticheat. That's unforgivable...

Every day they don't play I'm getting better the grind never stops

Valve is like that neglectful parent. They forget about you but you never forget about them. They drop by every few years and they are the best days just for them to leave again and neglect you again.

Forced to pay a montly membership to play Faceit & also have to pay to get some decent warmup training maps. Kinda sad Valve plz fix

I totally agree, 360 employees total. That includes the management, HR, infrastructure. So I suppose they probably have a handful of people capable of designing a antiCheat. With so many games and Dota I am not surprised that they are not able to work on it. Maybe they should hire a external team for a while to take care of it.

thank you for actually pointing out that valve doesnt care as long as people keep buying cases. quit the game quit buying skins we will get a fix FAST.

Valve in a week be like - " ̶T̶F̶2̶ CS2 community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things."

the dumb thing was they got rid of a game they worked years, nay, a decade for. only to release this sh*t

"CS2 community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things."

Valve always was a silent / non communicative company and while this isn't a good thing it also wasn't an issue because things generally worked ok. But valve didn't adress this issue at all. And it wouldn't be an issue if they had fixed this few months after the release but the game is out for longer than just that. Also the ranking system in MM is broken. If you were a global with 1.4 kd and on faceit 3k elo level you now are in silver/gold nova and nearly no one is above MG ranks. They broke so many things.

Valve is busy with their "Brain interface" project, it's that much more important to them than any game they could be making or supporting existing ones.

I agree with what you hinted at. Anomaly not playing premier does absolutely nothing. Anomaly suspending his skinsmonkey affiliation and calling for people to stop interacting with skins until Valve does meaningful action against cheaters - well that might just have impact. And if most content creators did that, then Valve would have the issue solved rather quickly. People who are into skins but do not play the game are the best case for Valve.

Yeah, I quit CS after playing it for over 10 years. It's gotten so bad lately and nothing is being done about it - can't be bothered to waste my life playing against cheaters; and I've refrained from buying skins I wanted for ages and will no longer pay any money towards buying cases/keys etc.
