Competitive&Hackers


(Nasstyy) #1

So i started doing some comp play to see what i can bring…
got to rank gold 5 when it was awarded…

Since i have gotten my rank i have played only with a few gold ranks… most are silvers or unranked.

The rest of the time you can get a game going because there it either a blatant hacker that will insta headshot you or
there is a “wanna be pro” always hitting head shots and twitching with his aim and is trying to say he doesn’t hack…

checking up on these people most of them have VAC bans already…

My main question and concern…

Why was competitive released when there is no anti cheat and any sort of balance?

now i support the game and enjoy it but pubbing around is getting old.

and the comp scene just seems infested with hackers. for ever 2 games i have 2 with a hacker…

(i wont even rant about playing comp with level 5s that dont know how to change their weapon.)

What are you guys thoughts on this? its really irritating.

Nasstyy Out.

I know, I agree it is annoying, but not as annoying as amount of these comp hackers posts on this forum (no offense)… They are working on anti-cheat, and it’ll probably be released very soon

Competitive was there before all the hackers.

The game does have anti-cheat. There is also a new anti-cheat that is in place that is currently being tested but isn’t quite ready for prime time. Also, being able to report quickly in-game is coming.

Valve doesn’t expose the part of Steam’s API which would allow Splash Damage (or any other developer) to automatically ban/suspend players with VAC bans. So that’s not an option.

Changes are coming that should help things out quite a bit. We just have to be patient as there isn’t a magic wand to wave to instantly fix things.
