*I wanted to address some concerns that have been raised about this iceberg video* I've been reading the comments, and it sounds like some of you didn't feel like I did a great job explaining things. I'm sorry about that - I'm always looking for ways to improve, and I take your feedback seriously. For my newest iceberg, I did a lot more research to make sure I'm getting everything right. Unfortunately, I can't go back and change the old video, but I want you to know that I'm listening and learning. I'm sorry if some information was unclear or if some entries didn't get the attention they deserved. My goal is always to do better with each video, and I hope I can make up for it in the future. Thanks for your understanding!
Bots are employees does mean that their names are names of some employees. There is literally BOT Gabe, BOT Minh which are easy to connect. Illegal skins means duped skins. People used to trade skins, claim they're scammed, steam support gives them perfect copy of it back, and you end up with 2 same skins. People have done that mostly with howls and dragon lores.
For the bot names one, they are named after valve employees and CSGO creators. For example: Bot Gabe, referring to Gabe Newell. Bot Cliffe and Bot Minh, referring to the creators of CSGO, Jess Cliffe and Minh Lee. Bot Dave, referring to David Johnson, the creator of Dust, Dust 2, and Cobble. There are a few more too
the coaching bug was described quite poorly, for anyone wondering. For online matches a lot of coaches got a bug where their spectator camera got stuck in a position that wasn't intended for them to see (for example in the middle of mirage where they could get a view of the entirety of the mid area for the rest of the game) the coaches didnt report the bug to valve and some abused it the ones that abused it to give information they shouldnt have to their players got hit with bans depending on the severity of the abuse. i hope that makes sense :)
While KQLY did cheat back then, the jumpshot is not statistically impossible and wouldn't be too hard for someone to pull off if they've practiced it. 3kliks has a great video on it
Nice video! Btw region censorship could be used in the game back in the days by typing a command in the launch settings which removed ragdolls and replaced death animations with a surrendering one. I also remember that it was forced in Germany.
While the overwatch and anti cheat description was off, overwatch also isn't just used for the machine learning dataset. People convicted in OW do get permanently banned. So it is actually a big part of the anti cheat. VacNet is only used to collect the cases for overwatch. Then it get feedback from the decisions on the cases it submits. It doesn't actually ban people itself. VAC does ban people, but only based on cheats found running on the pc, not on player behaviour.
He also explained the coaching ban wrong (also coaches weren’t banned from tournaments) and KQLY wasn’t cheating in that clip. He really needs to get his facts straight for these types of videos.
Yeah apart from those there are a few 'illegal/impossible' 1 of 1 skins, the nostar karambit is a famous example that isn't technically a dupe. I can also think of float values that should be impossible on some skins
I love how you said source 2 will probably never happen, as we all thought, yet here we are, three weeks later, and its pretty much confirmed it will happen.
The illegal skins refer to skins that are “broken”. There’s a karambit that has a wear rating of 0 and no pattern, meaning it’s flawless but boring. Stuff like that. The 3d edits were often done in unreal engine
I love those CSGO 3D edits, I know the ins and outs of Blender, so figuring out how they do it has been pretty cool for me. Learning Blender is almost like learning a separate game engine.
I will still watch it because I love icebergs but just by looking at it I understood how many time I spend in this game because I know almost everything here XD Being a valvefag is kind of obsession at this point.
The illegal skins refers to skins that have been removed from the game and are no longer obtainable through normal methods, the Howl is one of the skins, but there's been other skins that get removed for plagiarism or art theft that become valuable because they're removed from the game or changed
with regional censorship, it refers to the fact that in Perfect World (the chinese csgo) there are many details in maps changed or straight up removed (Soviet Union references on de_cache and de_train, some arabic spelling in mirage and dust2...) and also the blood decals are black instead of regular red.
7:46 this was not just a texture change, they replaced the objects. The wood door did more damage on wallbang, cuz it was, well, wood. They replaced with the metal objects which do less damage on wallbang
The cs classic mod is so much fun, you seem young so you probably don't remember 1.6 but it's basically what 1.6 would be like on the modern version of source it's so cool
The bully Hunter thing is a lot funnier than you made it out to be. The group was entirely made out of female esports players, many of which who have never played Counter-Strike before, and whenever they joined the game they ended up getting killed repeatedly without being able to get the target. The entire point of killing someone until they rage quit doesn't work when you're incapable of actually killing them. And on top of that they apparently raised a bunch of money which the event organizers just stole. And what's really funny is that this is actually inspired by a story from years prior. I don't know if it was Warcraft or some other MMO but in South Korea there was this kid who is obsessed with some game and his father wanted him to get a job, so the dad went and paid a bunch of guys to constantly attack him in game.
region censorship..i think its about open cases is not allowed in some countries because it's gambling.. and ragdoll physics replace with surrender animation.
Pro tip about those achievements, cheaters that have shitty hacks will usually just mindlessly give themselves all the achievements by default. So if someone is new but has all achievements they are cheating. Additionally if someone is a bit suspect ,but they have all achievements they are very likely cheating
11:30 I like this one. It's kinda funny to think about. I've played a lot of bot matches and its wholesome to think that I was playing with a bunch of valve employees on a lunch break or something. I dunno, maybe that's lame to say but idc.
2:13 Valve DID say in a interview in 2017 that they're going to put source 2 on CSGO (They also mention Vacnet and Panorama which are already on the game)
2:37 you get to be a part of overwatch after reaching gold nova 1 or higher in csgo's rank system, it gets taken away from you if you lose the rank by any means at all including if you let your rank expire after a month of not playing competitive mp.
That's not the only requirement. You also need 350+hours in the game and 150 competitive wins. That being said the gold nova requirement is the only reason one might loose access to it.
5:25 I'm pretty sure KQLY just hit that shot normally, since jumping shots and the accuracy during the air time are server sided. (Doesn't mean he didn't cheat on other occasions, he is VAC banned after all)
as far as i've ever understood all he ever admitted to was cheating in matchmaking this was a LAN tournament where there was practically no way of him cheating
Man I used to have FN Howl with perfect float back in 2015, which I won from csgo roulette site. I ended up selling it for $375 on opskins. I am still salty to this day.
illegal skins probably means duped skins and with that the no star karambit and the inventory locked bayonet, maybe also the r8 revolver heyzeus unboxed that shouldnt exist
bota have valve employees names and the harder the difficulty the higher ranked work they have with the harder ones being the most.important people in counte strike development
The reason for the skull change in the chinese version is that its illegal to have skulls, blood, sexual images, and various other "violent and immoral" imagery in video games. I think even dead bodies cant be a thing so they have to despawn as soon as ghe player dies
There's so much about this video that should've been better. Every time you have in a script "I don't really know what this is about" it's down to you to research it. We *want* you to dive down every rabbit hole, compile information, to look things up. The bots names being valve employees is so easy to check, even is CS:GO or CS:S you can find developer credits, launch up an offline game and check. Dangerzone is an entire gamemode, the coaching scandal was mostly misinformed, the illegals skins information needed bolstering and KQLY's jumpshot has a plethora of information debunking it. Your audience expects you to have this info done as best as it can, otherwise it's pretty needless having made a video about it. I hope part 2 is better researched!
