Half-Life Cheating Q&A

I feel that stiffer - more reliable counter strike anti cheating mesures must be enacted, considering the chaos of the situation. Valve must continue to work on security. cheating is demoralizing the faith of every counter strike player, and turning innocent players into hard core cheaters who live with dishonesty in thier mindset and will grow to be criminals, unless this is stopped. As I ponder the quotations out there, I sense many cheaters playing counter strike- and I think to myself- what can I do to sstop all this that is going on. So please, for yur benfit, for mine, for your familys, and for you dignity, stop. Do it for yourself. Being a cheater now will only escalate later. Trust me, do any of you cheater sright now have a good grade point average? I thought so.

Cheaters and supporters of cheating are no good fu**ing losers who have what you call downloaded skills and can take on fu***** there moms. I have seen some really gay dumba** quotes in here about hardcore gamers who say stuff about not cheating and you know what? your fu**ing lieing . All of you guhys are gay downloaded soft core cs gamers. live with the fsct and take a chill pill anf face it that you suck. Suckers use cheats cause they have like a 1 and 20 kill ratio. Fu**ers. Sorry, I destoryed your conceitedness.

I bet this "When a legitimately skilled played is constantly being accused of cheating it has a negative affect on everyone" is the case 9 out of 10 times..

You are ALL cheaters!!!

PURE CORP PR BULLSHIT

[Erik Johnson] Valve has actually been working on cheating for some time, like keeping our network protocol secure and issuing unique WonIDs to every person playing online. We've only recently begun to talk about it in a public forum

Counter-Strike is the Microsoft of video games.

The chances of somebody finding a flaw increases exponentially with the number of players. With the 'arms race' approach, cheating such as aimbots, skin hacks and wallhacks will still happen but not to the extent that it is now. But unfortunately there isn't much they can do about tweeked openGL drivers so this game already jumped the shark. It's a damn shame it had to die such a slow horribly miserable death. *spit*

ALL HAIL SOF2 FOR MAKING US YOUR NEW BITCH!!

i hope they just hard code everything so that it cant be changed and then do pure servers a la q3

everyone cheats but yourself? i see how it is..

That speed cheat fix is NOT unbeatable. I banned someone from my server a couple weeks ago on nuke who was running about 4x faster than everyone. It was not packet loss, it was consistant. It is rare though, because he was the first and only person I've seen beat the system somehow, I say somehow because as I understand it would take server participation in order to speed cheat.

I know I sure as hell didn't help =)

fucking servers are still down.

how about just have an auto boot feature for anyone with a 3 to 1 kill ratio. hahaaa. "you have been kicked for probably using cheats"

Dear Valve: please stop putting a file on my hard drive called "C:\cheaters.log" that only contains "Windows renabled" over and over and over again.

"That is really the damage that cheating does to the community, stopping this is our goal. When a legitimately skilled played is constantly being accused of cheating it has a negative affect on everyone. Keeping the community happy has been our primary goal for a few years now, and it's still at the top of our list. "

Boy, they sure had me fooled, considering they haven't done jack shit to stop cheating since they stopped the speed cheat and disabled one ancient version of some wallhack in CS 1.0. Again, I hate to say it, but it is true. I guess it will be hard for them to rid the nasty taste out of my mouth.

Yoh! Erik! You have Microsoft-itis! You have done less than nothing for the faithfull who play CS/DOD etc. You have lived off the same engine forever (where is TF2?). I hope somebody comes to the front and puts your sorry-*ss money grubbing no-two-players-on-a-router-one-cd-key Daddy Warbucks butt outa bidness. That is where you spent all of your R&D. You are the Gates of gaming. I am tired of looking at the western jagged rocks in Europe (or whatever). More maps for RTCW! Bring on SOF2! Doom3!! AAaargghh! <grabs jacket and heads off to the clinic>

why did it take Valve so long to counter rampant cheating in its games

"Because we didnt have to. You suckers will play regardless of what we do, so why bother?"

They just have to quit the servers and shut down the game.

NOW LETS SEE YOU CHEAT FOOL. NOBODY CAN PLAY NOW! BWAHHAHAHA!!!!

Uhhhh, why don't I believe a thing he is saying about anti-cheating?

WONid's don't keep shit secure. that makes sure that you buy the freaking game, that is all that does.

BFD. nice evade.

hopefully this wont be like the new anti-cheat shit they did with CS1.3 which was bypassed in like 2seconds :(

I'm glad to see Valve at least trying, but the sad fact is that there will be cheats out within a week of any new anti-cheat release.

Valve has actually been working on cheating for some time

I think alot of people beat them too it. :)

Just like blizzard... people will cheat regardless of your measures

cheater strike?

fuckin cheaters.
