    Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Valve. It consists of nine classes, Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy, and two teams, Red and Blu. The teams try to take the others' objective, such as an intelligence brief case, or a control point.

    TF2 is very playable again after years, it doesn't seem like the summer update had any extra-special nail-in-the-coffin anti-cheat measures though. Seems like Valve has been adding one or two little anti-cheat measures to every minor update even, and they've started to add up, along with rising player counts throwing the bots into obscurity.

    It should also be noted that some major hosters (such as BoatRolling Inc), have quit. And Valve sends someone to manually VAC bots like every two-three weeks (I'm not too sure if this is still the case but this was happening for a good while earlier this year and last year).

    @bruhbruh-us6gl Год назад +13

    Starting to see a new problem though. Every other game has cheaters in it, who have aimlock/crit-storing/wallhacks. They’re much harder to detect and they often join in groups of 2 or 3.

      @cutediz Год назад

      @@ZealotTF2 CS2 can manage random spread of the first shot server side, so in theory it should be possible to move crits compositely server side too. But TF2 netcode must be ancient, so the crits hacks are probably here to stay forever. Also melee animations might have be redone for that. Wallhacks can also be crippled. I know in CSGO you can't see enemy models behind 2 or more walls, because server doesn't send this information. Only in spectator you can see more.
