Omg... Cheating. On LAN. In an official tournament. Then trying to delete the files while the admin is here ! It's so fucking stupid. The exact reason i stopped playing FPS on PC a few years ago. If this situation is possible, imagine all the people that do it...

Pc plebs like this cheater only reveal how much of a pos they are as a person

Scar-2427d ago (Edited 2427d ago )

Exactly this is why I laugh at the people that believe there actually that talented. One of my brothers friends cheats at every game he plays and he has only been banned twice after doing this for around eight plus years.

raWfodog2427d ago

And this is another reason why I mainly play SP games. While I do enjoy some MP games, I don't get competitive because you don't know if the other person is cheating just to boost their stats. I'm just playing to have fun but some people take it way too seriously.

BlackDoomAx2425d ago

If they took it seriously, they don't cheat. They take it shittiously xD Come to console my friend. Even if it's not as competitive as PC, it's still fun :)

drpepperdude2427d ago

Wow he even tried to delete it while the admin saw it lol, it looked like they were about to fight over that keyboard. If cheats can be applied even in a tournament environment imagine how easy it is in your own home playing public matches.

That's just sad! A reasoning why I and possibly others don't play competitively online. No one likes their ass being handed to them moreso in situations like this.

raWfodog2427d ago

Yeah it also sucks that he got the rest of the squad released from their contracts. If they were innocent, now their reputations are in question due to his actions. But something tells me that somebody else had to know what he was up to.

Looks like the E-Doping era has arrived.

Spartacus102427d ago

The correct analogy would be to a referee checking equipment e.g. boxers gloves, footballers studs. But given the joke of a sport that e-sports is, they let the dude jump onto a competitive match with cheats installed on his computer.

Scar-2427d ago (Edited 2427d ago )

E-Doping is almost as old as gaming itself you had people cheating at arcades the second they went competitive.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai626d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits626d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf626d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits626d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws626d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf626d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos626d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils625d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno626d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.

ZycoFox825d ago

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Richhard1823d ago

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
