According to several cheater-forums and other sources of information, it seems like the TF Team/Valve has stepped up their game drastically as far as fighting cheating goes. Here is a quick run-down:
- The ban you get via the Report-ban is a 60 day ban. It includes Casual and Competitive.
- Blatant cheats such as spinbot/aimbot etc. seems to get you booted off the server with a "Removed from Match by System" message.
- Said booting also happens in batches (5 people at the same time if there are 5 cheaters)
- You seemingly also get axed if you change your name rapidly and several times
- Heavily speculated that this is possibly a form of Server-side Anti-Cheat//VACNET
Obviously there are certain groups that seemingly and possibly found a way to circumvent getting kicked specifically, but the bans still happen. Reporting cheaters has never been this important.
Bonus:
I don't see too many DF users these days. Cow Mangler got nerfed down to 4 from 5 shots of ammo. I think the game is still super solid overall. I only play casual and I have both good and bad games. The core is still the same. All depends on how you play on the maps.
Yeah, I've noticed it just sits around 15% CPU/GPU utilisation and chugs sub-60. Doesn't matter high or low settings.
I can't figure out why & have basically stopped playing because of it.
You're hired.'Team Fortress Forever'
-It has the name for a game as a service
-There's the 4-ever lol we skipped 3 joke
-It's like a second boot into the corpse of Fortress Forever, ten years later
If they're gonna port to Source 2 I one hundred percent would rather they just make it a new game. There's soooo much shit going on in TF2 right now, and it could use a polish pass from the ground up.
So months later not much improved when it comes to cheating on matchmaking servers.
Just ran into another one who was obviously running cheats because of 100% headshots against everyone (including cloaked/DR'd spies). Reported them, and got a message next day saying they were all banned... from matchmaking. Why would you only ban from matchmaking for cheats? I checked the Steam profile of the cheater and they had no extra ban added.
Wish more people actually played vanilla on community servers. It seems that they're pretty much relegated to custom game modes or orange maps or 24/7 instaspawn Hightower. Back in TF2's prime I used to run fairly popular servers with mostly vanilla map rotations (excluding unpopular maps), no random crit and instaspawn humiliation. It felt like a good mix of fun and competitiveness, because we'd occasionally throw in some admin abuse.
I asked for Artifact and I love it.
It's a new game, TF2 is a million years old. Calm down lol
At least you're not like me and wishing Left 4 Dead 2 still got updates.
Believe me, I understand. I love TF2.Valve can just be frustrating. Despite being 11 years old TF2 still has a large player base and its frustrating to see what's happening to it especially considering they're more than happy to keep selling us content for the game. The lack of Left 4 Dead (especially considering it was pretty heavily rumored L4D3 was pretty heavily in development on Source 2) is also disappointing.
I think the big problem is the size of the company. 350ish people just doesn't seem like it's enough for the number of things they're doing.
Artifact is a flawed game that has taken up Valve resources, uses an anti-consumer pricing model even after the update, and the audience had reacted accordingly. It's very understandable for someone to be frustrated that Valve choose to spend resources in this fashion.Believe me, I understand. I love TF2.
But Artifact is a good game. Don't shit on someone else's cereal just because your bowl is empty!
Personally, as I've said a thousand times before, I just want them to start over with a TF3. TF2's got so much baggage, I think a fresh start would do the game good.
