AI cheats: Why you didn’t notice your teammate was cheating
AI cheats: Why you didn’t notice your teammate was cheating
For the past few years, cheats have evolved rapidly. First came memory reading aimbots, then colorbots, and now AI aim assist. Cheats have escaped the host PC. How does it affect the players and anti-cheats?
I've kind of given up on the idea of playing those types of competitive online games, not just because of people cheating in them but also because of how the community these days addresses cheating, by witch-hunting and accusing people of cheating for being too good, or for sucking at the game, or for having opinions on surveillance and security (sometimes just because for being queer). They also often harass these people they target. I have hundreds of toxic assholes on Steam blocked for this behavior alone because they came to my profile to harass me.
I stopped online gaming as well a couple of years ago, and my life got so much better for it. Turns out the relaxation of playing online games was stressful and toxic as hell. I've been exclusively playing single player games since, and it has been a vastly improved experience relaxing with games.
There are a handful of online games I do like to play, generally ones without competitive elements, and I limit online gaming to people I actually know. But yeah most of the games I do play are single-player.
I've given up because of time. I do not have that much time to game and when games started to hide better weapons and gear behind paywalls and progression systems that will take several hundreds of hours to complete, it sucks. So you're fighting against those 14year olds who have spend an ungodly amount of time on the game and have better gear and that is not a good experience
This is why I avoid PvP at all costs in a game
once, in a game of titanfall 2, there was an aimbotter. i was sorta outperforming them, which felt cool. I figured cheaters probably have their own frustrations so i was just nice and friendly and they kinda calmed down, apologized for using cheats, said they were having a bad day, and we all played normally. felt like a real gamer moment.
didnt keep in touch, hope they're having less bad days now.
Because I very rarely play multiplayer?
Anyone know how halo pvp is these days? Thinkin about goin back to playin that.
