These CS2 Cheaters Just Lost Everything 

I cannot, for the life of me, find out why some people are downplaying the cheating issue instead of addressing it for valve to do something about it. Closet cheaters are the worst man.

When I was younger all I cared about was ELO and I cursed cheaters for making me lose ranks, now that I'm older all I care about is time, each game I encounter a cheater, both in the enemy or same team is time lost from a limited daily hour pool and this is what angers me the most.

I think the hardest part about breaking the cheater mentality is punishing toxic players when they're called out for cheating. So many toxic players cheat, then say "git gud" or "mad cuz bad" etc. Cheaters need to be shamed out of existence.

Cheaters honestly have no life… a bunch of sore losers that are lost and a bunch of babies… cheating has gotten worse in everysingle video game now… r6,csgo,valorant,call of duty, etc etc. most of them are young teenage nerds that have nothing to do.

Just played a game on Mirage where my team lost because the enemy team had more cheaters than we did... Holy shit Valve get it together

Probably 1% of my games have had a cheater, but it was extremely blatant when they were

cheaters are what keep me from enjoying this game. i run into them nearly constant.

I report cheaters everyday. I SPEC for hours. I love to receive the notification that someone(s) I reported was VAC BANNED. I'll do my part to report cheaters even if it seems futile.

The cheating problem is never solved since CSGO, I don't even think they will anyway

Over 60% of my games so far have had cheaters

It's somehow going over the head of valve that in chess (where the elo system is lifted from) you get WIN elo adjustment when your opponent does something wrong or cheats ... Same happens in tournament format matches; people disobeying the rules forfeit their match(es). I mean, shit, even faceit does this when they detect smurfers and cheaters...

I had a cheater on enemy team. At the start he was hiding it but then i noticed it felt like he is prefiring with awp and always headshoting with awp. We switched sides and were up a couple rounds aswell. Before the 2nd pistol round i called him out in chat saying "hvh?" jokingly obv cause i dont cheat. He started wallbang headshoting after that. He was so bad that we still won the game. Tells a lot about who cheats.

While not happening every game, fairly often there will be a blatantly obvious cheater on their team or mine.

I get the curiousity, I tried cheats when I started playing CSS like over 15 years ago, got bored after a couple days and never touched them again. It was fun trolling on dm but cheating in competitive games trying to act legit is just sad.

I would love like a legal auction of banned skins. Imagine if people could buy the skins off banned accounts (after some time ofcourse to negate false bans), like Valve could just put them up for an auction and pocket whatever the new owner bit for it. This would avoid legendary skins potentially be lost forever cause of a single loser.

Gotta love when justice is served

With no kill cam it's hard to tell because I have relied on it for so long for finding suspects.

Not a lot of people uses aim assist. Problem is wallhack and it's just 5 people and one-two using cheats and boosting other accounts for sale. That's the core of this problem.

Im like 90% sure subtick was introduced by valve as a way to collect more data from clients to feed the anticheat with more priceise inputs as it would help decide if someone is cheating. If the anticheat only gets a maximum of 64 actions per second there is a limit to what VAC can conclude from the data but if a cheat client triggers multiple events at inhuman speeds between ticks or similar stuff the VAC anticheat would detect it. I just think the main issue now is that valves VAC live AI needs to train on more data from players that they are certain were cheating.

I got to lose all my 10 rankup matches because of cheaters 4-5 weeks ago edit: also was for premier mode

During the beta I felt like I played a cheater maybe 1 out of 4 games. Now I feel like it's probably half the games I play.

Crazy idea for a CS2. First purge all the items now stuck on these accounts that can't trade. Make a case, sticker capsule, and patch bundle called " returned from the void" collection, where it contains a finite number of items which everything repo'd. From the cheaters.

I've been playing CS for aeons - and the cheater problem seems worse than ever. That combined with the persistent issues of the game, with poor hit reg and the still extreme peekers advantage and misc. bugs has led to me uninstalling the game, hoping they get it sorted in three to four months.

Out of 30matches in cs2, i only had like 6-7 full legit matches. In the others was at least one tracking enemies throu walls across the map, jump headshotting everyone or even spinning, knew every rotation and instandly knew where the last dude was in a 1v1. But the clean matches i had have been so much fun and the mates so nice, i never had that good matches in csgo

I tried playing comp and was up 8 to 4 in first half. Didn't win a single round in the second half because someone on the opposing team left and then turned on hacks

have your tried double black ? I prefer that over red label. is that your fav ?

Them disabling demos probably emboldened a lot of people too

I have seen a few cheaters, but for me, the matchmaking system putting me with horrible teammates all the time is worse

Aimware is a detected cheat among the hvh communities from the very start. People were getting banned for using that cheat in CSGO too, there are other cheats out there, which are totally undetected and can be used to wall, aim and rage ingame.

Closet cheating is huge in CS2 people need to realise just cause someone isn’t top fragging or carrying the game it doesn’t mean they are not cheating. There are closet cheaters who only go hard when they need a important round which will end up wining the game.

How designing a game from the ground up to ensure cheating wasn't as difficult as possible wasn't their number one priority is beyond me. They had the opportunity to do that with CS2 and just didn't. At this point I think most people would welcome far more intrusive anti-cheat.

Thank you. i realized pretty fast that there was a ban wave as i lost 3k rating for playing 1 match with a apparent cheater.. (he was bottomfragging and we lost the game) i am veri sad. Never re-Q with randoms, people have to be vetted through and through. :p

VAC GOTTA BE ON POINT IF CS2 WANTS TO SURVIVE

My games in the morning have no cheaters at all. In the night, however, my team and I get put up against at least 2 cheaters almost every match.

Allot of those clips can easily be regular gameplay, heading gunfire and pinpointing the location, spraying and praying it'll go hit through the wall. Sage

I'm saying this now, this fight is not valve alone to shoulder. We need to do our part aswell to report and vote kick teammate that cheat. I've just had a game not to long ago where the opponent team have a cheater to which their team turned a blind eye, and did absolutely nothing about it. And it's infuriating. We need to unify against this, winning doesn't matter if it's not based on the merit of your skill.

There is still plenty of cheaters in CS2

Cheaters in video games should be convicted similarly to people who hack into bank accounts. They are no different from cybercriminals and deserve long prison terms.

2022, There were over 1 million accounts that were vac banned. To put that number to perspective, it equates to 2 accounts being banned every 1 minute. While you are queing up in lobby, searching for a match, there is couple accounts at least being banned. There is a closet cheater in every single game. I have over 8k hours in this garbage game, but unfortunately there are closet cheaters every rank, every platform. Pros are cheating, noobs are cheating, face it level 10s are cheating, the game is a hot mess from the beginning. It will never change, unless the view and perception of what gaming is changes. We adore, admire and cheer for streamers and pros who are good at the game, and young teenager who witness this will be encouraged to cheat to achieve that status from others. Im a 43 year old casual gamer who owns and runs multi million dollar business, I don't need to prove anything to anyone online, and no desire to cheat. Its just a video game to me at the end of the day. Its pretty disgusting how young generation of kids are becoming cheaters, and liars who will lie their way to the top. Valve needs to understand and make a executive decision to actually ban all cheaters and enforce much intrusive anti cheat for the game to prosper. I honestly feel like CS2 will be the biggest joke unless they address this issue now. But what do I know, Im just a dad ranting. Have fun !

I’ve had 3 cheaters on the other team in 1 game. I’m getting a cheater every other game it seems too

No one is gonna talk about the true gamer drink in the background? The Johnnie walker red label

it is expectd to play with people who cheat when you play online. One thing you can do is to think that if you play mm is to not play it seriously and if you want to play competitively is go to faceit.

I'm currently doing placements in premier, i fail to play more than 1 game in a sitting bc of the cheating. Currently played 10 games, and on every game i have 1 in the game finishing 45 kills+, pulling the most random kills in clutches to the point it cant be legit. I get some people are good and dont have a rank yet, but like cmon i dont thing ive had a game yet where a player havent done a 1v4 and 3 of the kills comes straight through smokes/walls.

played 6 Games of premiere, had 4 games infested with blatant cheaters in 5k elo. MM just feels like absolute shit rn, I hope over time the anti cheat system gets better

All i wanted for a new cs was 128tick and a better anti cheat we got neither

looking good lil bro!

played a lotta games yesterday between wingman and premier and it was about a 1 in 4 chance of having a cheater in game

I already got 4 messages from leetify that a player i played against got banned. Two from the beta and 2 since release.

Only had 1 game where someone was blatantly cheating and that was before the release of Cs2

CS players: We want 128 ticks Valve: With the release of CS2, here is sub-ticks! CS players: *Mf what part of "We want 128 ticks" did you not understand?*

I dont know where all these cheaters are but theyre not in my games. In GO I legit had a cheater every 100 games if even. I downloaded some demos when I was suspicious but it turned out they were just better almost every time.

Me and a buddy used to be be Guardian Elites, but haven't played in years. We heard about CS2 and hopped on to play wingman and goof around. Get placed into Silver 2 and half of our lobbies have had cheaters in them. Silver 2 is nearly the lowest rank in the game, why cheat at such a low level?? Even playing CS2 purely to goof around with my buddy, the cheaters have made us give up the game after about a week of playing. CS has always had rampant cheating, but it feels even worse now.

In all of the Games I have played so far, I don’t think I had a cheater - definitely not a spinnbotting bhopping something as seen in many of these vids.

i haven't play alot of matches but maybe i'm just lucky to not face any blatant cheaters yet, hopium that valve gonna keep improving the vac ban issues.

I’m really hype for cs2 came out but everything still not yet fixed, so it still in fixing alot of stuff. I might be playing it around 2 or 3 months more to see if they will fix most things out or not ( just like cl_bob and cl_righthand 0 not even getting back yet)

My matches have been mostly clean, or at least I thought so until I check Leetify and see that at least 20% had cheaters that got banned in them, and who knows how many more that just didn't get banned. If the cheaters are good at hiding that they're cheating they'll ruin so many matches without getting banned and no one will even notice. Unfortunately since Valve doesn't want to make a good anti cheat I think cheaters are always going to be a huge problem in CS. When ban waves happen most will just buy a new account, new cheat and continue ruining the game for many people.

Machine learning anti cheat will probably start out slow but these things ramp up exponentially it’ll if trained properly can become very efficient it does, also for anyone brain dead saying cs2 is dying already, the player base is some of the highest in series history

Cs should do something similar to storage wars. Bid on skins from accounts no longer belonging to banned accounts

i fell like in almoust each game there is at list 1 or 2 cheaters i have now 15 hours cs 2.

My external is still going no ban yet and I doubt I’ll get one

The higher your elo the more you’ll see them. Sometimes I wish I was learning cs for the first time again..

I’ve faced one blatant cheater but I have been very suspicious of a lot of other people I’ve played against. Could totally just be me being mg1 facing globals during placement tho.

All my patches in my agent slot switched for some reason :(

Also St4ck copped a community ban. That guy with the lvl 5000 Steam account. Yep, community banned.

Hopefully the A.I is just in its learning phase atm.. and it will kick into gear with full release ? thats what im hoping..

The situation atm is so bad. I'm getting called out for cheats while playing in Silver 3 stoned out of my mind. You know it's bad if you call the bottom fragger a cheater after he spray and prayed you with an AK.

This game is too unstable, I’ve played more than 8 matches, won 2 all because of the cheaters.

They need to hardware ban, phone number ban, ip ban, and whatever else we can do to prevent this. Valve has the money to do something serious about this but doesn’t. Really doesn’t sit well with me especially with the crappy sub tick system they introduced. Hopefully there’s a brighter future for CS2.

I have those same logitech speakers.....love em!

i assumed they think that the new vac live is pitiful and just play with there main account

Is that a liquor bottle in the bottom right corner?

Nice, fresh ban wave i can now play again. And still get destroyed...

Valve could add a cool feature. If a hacker gets banned, all their skins would be given to the players they were cheating against.

"Hundreds of accounts got banned" bro that's like 1% of cheaters in csgo.

Huh and I wondered how some of these scumbags instantly found me every time even in the best hiding spots. They dont even feel the need to sneak and rush straight to the bombspot and Aim right at my hiding spot....

the matches I've been in have been seemingly clean, like yeah there were a few questionable plays/shots but that can be pinned down to how the elo is fucked rn, like I was in Master Guardian in CSGO and now I'm playing against silvers in CS2, and every now and them I'm getting matched against people who were DMG or higher but because they haven't played enough to get a rank in CS2 so I'm getting matched against them. I haven't been playing Premier tho, just matchmaking since the game dropped. If the people were cheating, it was subtle, you could easily pin it down to elo diff or just plain bad luck like getting running headshot from Scaff when I'm sitting CT on Mirage.

we have the same speakers and bottle of scotch lol

every game i get atleast 2 wallhackers :C

Imagine all the blatant cheaters banned, then we are still stuck with the rest doing it more secretive... If only they would invest millions in a proper anti cheat just as we invest millions in their skins.

bro casually has whiskey bottle next to him :D

i have encountered 2 cheaters and 7 smurfs now

Already meet 3 cheaters in different games and it's extremely blatant prefiring all the time even with questionable situation

Give the hardcore counterstrike players a pre steam loading pre game launch intrusive as all hell anti cheat, requiring personal ID sent in and pair to account. Cheating is super common in cs always

i hope they fix or lessen cheaters i always get a cheater on my lobby even if i bought a prime. shooting from spawn to spawn is crazy i dont know how they enjoy playing like that. i just want to play some few legit rank games after work. i dont mind losing a game but with fair game.

Since CS2 came out, my matches have not been clean at all, here in Australia every second game that I play, I play against cheaters, it's very easy to detect a cheater, which is their aim is sh**, all they can do is always playing angles, prefires and know pretty much everything about the player's position. Most of the players in premier ranking matches are getting boosted by cheaters, you can tell easily this guy's game is so sh*** but how come he's on the top? I hope Valve starts banning those players who play together with the cheater in their team, ban them at least for 2 weeks, and take away their ranks, if they do that again then start banning them permanently.

from time to time we get togglers. 1st half sux

I mean, there is no way to 100% tell since demos have been disabled. A lot of cases where the other team is down 9-3 and after that one dude doesn't miss a single shot but could be normal, for my sanity I don't say anymore that someone is cheating except if i can view the demo.

sick hockey skateboarding hat

Not sure if it's due to cheaters, but my win rate in ranked is 0% at the moment. Used to be Gold IV in CSGO and now probably won't even get Silver I.

Its just another bandaid. Until Valve impliments a powerful clientside anticheat like Vanguard or Faceit cheaters have and will continue to run rampant.

Valorant Vanguard: Crap they’re actually doing something for once.

skincel's seething

Tons of cheaters in my game, from insane 1 taps to spin bots, walls

In Beta i never played against a cheater, every match was fun, but at release i feel like every second game someone is cheating, idk if its just me who has this feeling

Valve makes money from banning and allowing cheaters to play on new accounts. It's a circular business model that makes them lots of money. Why would they want to stop that?

This is why I like valorant. Never in valorant I go, “This guy is cheating”. But in CS it is so tainted with cheaters it is always suspected. In valorant I either have throwing teammates or I just suck.

Yea...when its this blatant its hard to enjoy the "new game high" with CS2 and the cheating issues Seeing that they have done actions to ban these problem people is great and all...but with nothing to prevent it just pushes more and more people away

I'll be honest, i havn't come across any obvious cheaters in my games. But ehat i've come across is a totally unbalanced MM. I've been put i multiple games where i (someone with 2k hours) gets put in the same team as people who seem fully new to the game. On either team there is one or two people with experience who just run over the rest of the lobby. Causing frustration on both sides. The new people who gets a good ol smack in the face, and the old players either gets no challange or have to try teach the new guys.

I've had to deal with a lot of cheaters. Pretty blatant cheaters as well.

In asia enemy rating 1.5 got kill 30+ with hs rate 95+% and we on rating 9k get pawned so hard not even can kill got instant 1tap headshot litteraly inhuman reaction and almost every lobby i have encounter like that
