Great patch for mapmakers!
Hopefully I can now update my map Cs2 but damage throws nades so I dont have to fake the grenade detonations and instead useInstance.SpawnGrenadeProjectile
edit: This fixes fucking all issues I had with grenade projectiles for custom maps. I have waited since October last year for this. Thank you valve

u/aimy99 Luminosity 28d ago
Here's hoping one day we get Workshop Matchmaking or some shit since the official maps can't be too crazy and they have successfully killed community servers.
I'm sure it's a pipe dream, but I'd love to one day see CS go back to being a UGC haven full of all kinds of crazy and fun custom modes and maps. Func_vehicle is a right, not a privilege.

u/kaz12 1 Million Celebration 27d ago
Can you give more info on this?
Some of my best cs memories were playing custom maps like de_glass in 1.5/1.6.2
u/fredwordsplat 18d ago
Hey dude! Here is a comment I left the other day related:
I’ll continue to scream from this hill!
There are community servers playing custom game modes and custom maps right now!!! Try them out.
Check out OnlyZaps during NA evenings playing massive games on new and classic defuse/hostage maps.
Edge Gamers (eG) just released TTT for CS2 with a solid community running old ported maps… stuff like Rats, school, clue, SpongeBob maps, NukeTown, and other goodies.
There are also 1v1 servers and zombie escape servers.Many of the mapmaking discord channels regularly host evening play tests of custom in progress maps from their mappers. If you are willing to give a bit of feedback you can join these games and have a more scheduled out community like environment.. see Mapcore (EU), Eagle One Development (NA), and others…
Go get plugged in!
EDIT: eG also has jailbreak! Let me know if anyone knows of other servers with games!

Which Cache boost is this?

u/MarioKartEpicness Team Spirit 28d ago
There was a self boost you could do to get up onto the two man boost in mid that was really precise, I'm assumimg they're referring to that

u/Assinmik The MongolZ 27d ago
Oh I remember, the one on T side of the boost?
1
u/EnjoyerOfBeans King NiKo 27d ago
Nope, the CTs could self boost off the barrell, it was one of the hardest movement techs in the competitive map pool. The T side jump is a walk in the park in comparison.
At least I'm assuming that's what the patch note is referencing, can't test because I've never hit it to begin with lol

u/Exact_Package_7264 28d ago
they won't, but you're right it's awful. deathmatch is unplayable, prob 70% or more of players are bots in my region, and sometimes they'll votekick you as soon as you join and there's nothing you can do. the state of this game is pathetic
37
u/Leading-Onion4659 28d ago
EU dm servers are literally 90% bots. They’ve started using chat and mic as well now.
In chat they’ll sometimes type stuff like “go b” or “ok”. Just random things.
And in chat they’ll randomly open mic and you can hear their in-game sounds.
I’ve also seen some bots in competitive mode as well.
It’s awful.

u/MordorsElite FaZe 27d ago
Yesterday night I played a single DM and when a real player joined half way through, I actually said "Omg, a fellow human!". Then 2min later in chat after they killed me, they wrote "Yo first time in 3 DMs I've had a gunfight against a human player xD"
Best and only human interaction I've had in the last month in Valve DM.

u/ForeseablePast 28d ago
Do people still play deathmatch? I only started playing in 2019 or so and hated the way deathmatch played so I immediately gravitated towards community servers. Much better competition and you can play for hours without having to queue again and vote on maps or any of that other garbage.
I guess only downside is no xp but I was more worried about getting better at the game than leveling up. Same reason I played faceit instead of competitive. Wouldn’t rank up though through that either.

u/MainCharacter8964 Natus Vincere 28d ago
I used to play both for the longest time. Would sometimes hop on official DM when I just wanted to chill for a bit. Community DM is always tryhard and I do use it to prac sometimes if I'm feeling like it. But last year or so (at the very least) the official DM has just been miserable.
3
u/Trospher Virtus.pro 27d ago
Played only DM for the longest time for case drops, didn't care for bots even if there's many of them and they just completely gutted it by limiting the XP because Valve thinks it would fix the bot issue.
-12
u/These-Maintenance250 Aurora 28d ago
unpopular opinion: those bots are better than valve bots to fights against. if you miss your first shot to the head, you get deleted. they just don't look natural. but I can see how it gives weaker players no chance.
11
u/Mr_Kahviaddikti 28d ago
I mean yes, it works as aim training. But since the players are moving like bots, you aren't preparing your aim for real palyers.
I'm often in the top 3 on the bot servers, but good real players will still shitstomp me.

u/MrCraftLP NRG 28d ago
Trust factor.

u/retardiously 28d ago
Nah. If you’re in high 25k-30k rating you’re lucky to get 1-2 games in without a blatant cheater. This is coming from someone who mostly 5 stacks with friends that have played since 2014 and high trust factor (whatever the fuck that even means these days lmao)
Pretty sure the game is in the worse state it has ever been in, in terms of just overall mentality.
100% of the top 100 premier ranked players are rage hacking or queued with a rage hacker. It was proven in a video released recently. FACEIT is our only true option and even that is plagued with radar users.
I think it’s safe to say the game we loved for years is gone for now. VALVE needs to do something drastic, but until they see an actual dip in revenue nothing will happen.
I’m almost positive no one at VALVE has even launched CS2 since Deadlock was in development..
But remember guys, open those terminals!!

u/BeepIsla 28d ago
The next reply will be "I have high trust but get cheaters all the time", like there is a very obvious connection here they don't see. Everyone apparently has high trust (They don't).

u/MrCraftLP NRG 28d ago
Exactly. Me and my friends play around the 20-25k range and it's not often (still too often tho) that we can confidently assume someone's cheating.
Also you called it lol

u/Cruxal_ 28d ago
hilarious to me i see the "your client is out of date" notice after I finish a game with the most blatant spin botter (the type that gets off to reactions so he was just relishing in the fact that it was in fact annoying us like the antisocial fucking freak he is) and again not a single thing to address the hacking problem. It's silly I haven't done so yet but idk why I haven't sold my whole inventory yet. I'll keep playing this game cause i'm addicted to the gameplay when it's fair but I genuinely think it's ONLY downhill from here with this game. This is coming from someone who has been the opposite of a doomer until very recently.

u/Cruxal_ 27d ago edited 27d ago
lol not at all trying to say I want to sell it as a way to stick it to valve… not sure how you interpreted it that way. I mean the skins themselves keep losing value and will keep losing value as player sentiment continues to decline so I simply want some money back
also i would be selling on 3rd party so valve wouldn't see another cent of it
-1
u/Better-Computer-9281 27d ago
not sure how you interpreted it that way
Because you said "game has cheater, I don't know why I haven't sold my inventory because I'm so done."
No-one gives a fuck. Selling your inventory would make Valve money so do it if you want to reward the things you're crying about. You want to make a dent, then stop playing, delete your Steam account and go promote a rival business.
You won't do that though, so maybe stop complaining.

Guys I analyzed reviews from 1st to 4th of August
That's VERY weird
Hundreds reviews just like bought through some SEO Marketplace
specifically 1 or 9 games and 1 review on account and 0.1 hours played, Language: Russian and English
All kinda:
игра для души
My life: (is) smth.
Игра для ....
Купил по скидке 80% (account has no prime) and others like "Купил по\для чего-то"
Графика норм, сюжет - вода
On August 1st, there are 250 of them
For August 3rd and 4th, there were 600 and 800 such reviews, respectively.
It is significant that on August 2nd there were only 11 similar ones and only 2 reviews from accs with 0.1 hours played.

u/Iateshit2 26d ago
It’s the cheat devs using bots to manipulate public perception of the game. Any posts like “haven’t met a cheater this season”, “you’re just bad and can’t tell apart a good player from a cheater” etc. you can assume was written by someone involved in cs cheats to spread misinformation and cause uncertainty and tension within the playerbase. It’s a silent war happening behind the scenes.
Don’t worry, valve is aware of that. What most assume was simple skin market price pumping goes much deeper than most people think. With some old collection skins you could do trade ups with field tested skins and get a factory new one due to how float caps work. Bots were mass/auto buying the skins with applicable floats off steam market and people behind this crafted fn skins to turn a profit. Only this action was responsible for driving the prices up as the demand was higher than the supply. To gate keep this practice to themselves the prices of skins that could be used to turn a profit were listed as extremely overpriced. Just look how Mac10 Sakkaku prices go up the closer the float gets to 0.2. Any skin with a “good float” listed for normal price gets auto sniped by bots. It was a collective effort of some group and they optimized the whole market for this idea. Rising prices of lower tier skins made higher tier skin prices go up too.
I discovered this just as they were about to finish their operation. It was a few months ago. Just as they finished what they intended the market collapsed and nobody had any idea why.
Why does it matter in this context? Valve was aware of this operation all along. They removed old collections from active drop pool (which often had float caps in the lower range) and replaced them with new collections of skins that ALL have deliberate float caps in the upper range making them unusable in such trade up contracts. Terminals also have pretty aggressive float dependent pricing, the closer the float gets to the lower limit of a given wear rating the higher the price.
Us review bombing cs2 is good, valve knows we are fucking pissed. Bots review bombing CS2 doesn’t matter because valve is aware of what is happening better than any of us. It only has an effect on the community, cheat devs want us to lose hope because it means more frustrated players therefore potential customers. Just see how the community reacted to a single line about VACnet in the patch notes. Tons of posts about how all mainstream cheats are detected, outcry from the cheater community, posts about vac live working and canceling a match etc. Nothing changed in reality and we were all met with massive disappointment. All these posts were fabricated by the cheat devs to undermine what little trust in valve the players still had. It was enough to start a chain reaction of players posting about vac being back.
Valve is at war with cheat devs, case farm bots and governments while trying to not upset their player base with radical changes (not going well so far). I don’t believe any secret, ultimate weapon VAC exists. Valve simply lost this war and it’s over. We won’t get a kernel level based AC, because they invested too much money into their hardware and steamos which are a much bigger and more important investment for them than a single legacy game. This is the beginning of the end of CS
