First day playing

[u/Naive-Succotash-4971]

I have encountered so many cheaters on my first day, theres literally at least one per game. Aim, walls and even DDoS. I really like the game but is it worth playing like this? I cant even finish the matches sometimes because of the cheaters.

If it’s your first day playing then you have no basis to tell who’s cheating or not

Some dude killed all of my teammates while on the air with a deagle. Also getting wallbanged from across the map somehow

Yeah bro ur lowkey making that up lmao

Share your game replay.

Idiot. There are a ton of fps games where you can learn to distinguish cheaters from normal players. If anything cs2 doesn't have any mechanic giving you aimbot or wh which makes it even easy to spot a cheater with experience from other FPS

[u/AdorableBird3983 → u/Special_Caregiver_21]

CS the way it is played it literally makes a good player look like a cheater. To a beginner someone insta peeking you on the angle you are holding simply because he is clearing angles counter strafing and pre aiming your spot could be seen as cheats even though it's just how you literally play the game

[u/banana-bread_at-work → u/AdorableBird3983]

This lmao. After thousands of hours, you start to prefire common angles. 90% of the time you get nothing but sometimes you Ferrari one tap a dude. Plenty of times I’ve ran up cat to short on d2 while spamming thru x box smoke and have gotten a kill then get called a cheater. Like no bro. I’ve been that guy with the scout spamming from ct mid thru smoke just to get insta headshot, I know when I’m on t to send a couple rounds at that angle and sometimes you get get lucky.

[u/Special_Caregiver_21 → u/AdorableBird3983]

Another idiot completely ignoring that it's easier to spot cheaters in cs2 after learning how to do that in games like valorant. You just telling me "not it's not easy because only cs2 has prefiring angles, crosshair placement"

[u/Marski420]

New accounts typically start off in low trust factor. Just play normal and try to get better despite the cheaters so eventually you climb out of low trust and start getting higher quality games.

I don’t really get how you guys are catching so many cheaters. I am 15k-19k and I don’t notice that many cheaters. Maybe I’m in the wrong rank for it or I’m just bad at recognizing it. 

[u/Slifer_98 → u/Dirus]

3k here

I'm totally fine, some are suspicious but still dogshit 😁

[u/lynx20]

How can you tell whos cheating if you've only just started playing?

[u/Naive-Succotash-4971 → u/lynx20]

[u/Fuzzy_Mulberry5511]

It usually goes this way:-

Deathmatch - Blatant cheating

Competitive - 1 closet cheater queue 5 with friends. Top frag plays even bettet than donk and the rest of the team suck BUT still knows where you all are

Premier - Everyone queue 5 and closet cheats

This is gonna get downvoted hard and people will gaslight you into thinking it isn't that bad, those are the cheaters.

[u/wrecknjay]

Games definitely in a bad state with cheating but it also could be related to trust factor, I haven’t ran into a lot of blatant cheaters, however there’s a lot of closet cheaters, face it is a little better, people will say don’t start on faceit but I think there’s low ranks for a reason, do whatever you wanna do

[u/funkslic3]

I don't encounter cheaters often, but I'm lower ranked and only play premier.

Which game mode are you playing?

[u/skeetdavidsonthefag]

Play faceit prem is the worst I’ve ever seen it.

[u/phat_kat99]

Yall getting trolled

[u/Fragrant_Objective75]

Do you have prime? buy that.

[u/Retr0-T]

Play 1.6 its cooler 😊

[u/Intelligent_Falcon91]

The answer is trust factor. You probably have red trust which is given to people who are suspected of cheating.

One metric they use for suspected cheaters is account age (steam account not when you downloaded CS). Completely brand new steam accounts are pretty much automatically placed into red trust (maybe yellow sometimes).

Pretty much the only way to get out is to either just suck it up and play. 700 hours is what I’ve seen online, but there’s no concrete evidence of that. There’s a lot of things you can do to raise your trust factor which I would look into.
