Crew Fortress 2‘s acquired its first main replace in yonks final yr, after which the almost 17-year-old sport promptly broke its concurrent participant document. Nonetheless, speak to a type of gamers and you will find all shouldn’t be nicely with Valve’s shooter, which is outwardly frequently overrun by bots and cheaters.
Some gamers are actually reporting “a big ban wave” focusing on customers of aimbots, nevertheless.
Valve themselves haven’t introduced that they’ve taken any new motion, so all we’ve got to go on are reviews from the group.
One consumer posted a picture of a message they allegedly acquired from Steam Assist. “Our workforce seen your accounts have been concerned in majorly disruptive exercise in Crew Fortress 2. Accounts devoted to the disruption of TF2 have been deactivated, and accounts used for different functions have been locked and banned,” says the message.
One other group member claimed to have confirmed that a “distinguished hoster” of bots had been banned. There’s a lot anecdotal proof that the sport has fewer bots in on-line matches than regular.
Some gamers additionally pointed to substantial and sudden dips in Crew Fortress 2’s participant rely as proof of banwaves. On the time of writing, nevertheless, the sport has had a gradual and important improve in its participant rely.
Gamers have been begging Valve to take motion to wash up Crew Fortress 2 for years, typically organising below the #SaveTF2 moniker. This is not the primary ban-wave lately both, though earlier efforts have appeared short-lived, with cheaters swiftly transferring again in. For the sake of these nonetheless enjoying, I hope this time is completely different.
