What's Going on with CS2's Anti-Cheat?

-

I’m really frustrated with CS2’s anti-cheat system right now. I’ve encountered multiple players cheating, including some who were obviously using spins, and it feels like the game is just falling apart. When will Valve step up and fix these issues? It’s getting ridiculous!

This is why I think Valorant has the edge—its anti-cheat is much stricter, even if it’s controversial. It’s not perfect, but it definitely does a better job of defending against cheats compared to CS2.

True, but some still argue Valorant’s system can cause security risks. Wouldn’t it be better to invest in better server-side strategies instead?

Exactly! Cheating prevention should focus on smarter detection rather than just going for invasive solutions.

Valve doesn’t want to implement a kernel-level anti-cheat solution, which is part of the problem. Plus, a lot of people make bank selling cheats, so even if they did have a stronger anti-cheat, cheaters would find a way around it anyway.

Dude, CS has been around for ages! I don’t get why you’re still expecting big changes. CS2 just dropped recently, and it still has a long way to go, but it’s undeniably one of the biggest games out there right now. The lack of proper anti-cheat is just baffling, though.

RageQuitterX -

Yeah, CS2 is brand new, but it does seem like they dropped the ball on anti-cheat. It’s the worst seeing all these cheaters ruining the game.

For real, this game has the biggest player base, but it’s like they don’t care about keeping it fair.

CheatHunter001 -

Honestly, it feels like Valve is more focused on the gambling aspect than actually maintaining the game. It’s pretty frustrating to see so many cheats running rampant. I mean, it’s like expecting McDonald’s fries to be gourmet—it just isn’t gonna happen.
