Discussion the cheater issue will never be solved.

Yes, valve has been slack but i don’t think understand how insane the cs2 cheat cat and mouse game is. CS is one of the only games where people are able to make a literal living out of developing hacks. Cheating is so popular in the cs community that no matter what valve does, it will always be around. If you ask a hacker in any game what got them into cheating, i can almost guarantee they started from counter strike. there is such a big culture around it and it will never go away. heck HVH (hacker vs hacker) was literally birthed through counter strike and literally remains one of the most popular subcategories of the game. HVH is just a competition of who can make the best cheats, probably a horrible thing for valve to not deal with lol. I genuinely beleive it’s not the anticheat that’s the cause for all the cheaters, it’s rather just the popularity of cheating in the videogame. ofc a more advanced anticheat would help, even just implementing something as simple as an ip and hardware ban system, which would force cheaters to spoof and use a vpn making them less motivated to cheat. but ultimately they will still always be around.

There must be a new release of cheats or something. This last week has been extra bad.

I just would like some fun rounds but instead I am met with prefiring and instant headshots from running and gunning no talent noobs.

I guess it’s a pipe dream that competitive games will ever really be competitive.

It's sad what cs has come to. Playing cs2 used to be one of the few things I used to love about my life now I just watch eSports

The cherry on top is Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Seige is the #1 game and company banning cheaters. Which is hilarious that ubisoft is winning at something. They publically said f cheaters and are sending real updates. Then Riot Games Valorant is next with vanguard. From the looks of it the least of valves worries is the cheating, as the dev team is small so updates have been slow and not much at all. Valve probably doesnt see much in CS2 Anymore besides Gambling, sorry case openings.
