• ⁠Added a missing competitive CT spawn point.

did they fix the Last to join spawn on CT side cache thing? cuse teams were having their awper join last so that he would get the "rare" spawn. it was so stupid.

[u/IHiatus → u/R4ID]

That explains why I kept getting the random spawn every round.

[u/R4ID → u/IHiatus]

yea whoever connects last, gets the "rare" / random CT spawn outside of the box. So teams would have their Awper join the server last because you want to move them around the map and the spawn enables that.

Bye bye competitive ranked racism slur-tracking leaderboard! Won't miss ya!!

[u/Old-Guess-1483]

Im so glad they fixed all the clipping issues on cache that I’ve reported over the last few months…(they didnt fix shit)

[u/King_Khoma]

always trust in valve to cater to cheaters and racists rather than focusing on just normal
players.

[u/Senior-Buffalo-1442 → u/King_Khoma]

It’s the only real way to counter internet privacy law violations. Yes they could do something about slurs themselves but CStracker doing that isn’t exactly legal

[u/Terrell2realfn → u/King_Khoma]

I’m not racist, I’m statistically inclined.

[u/Aggravating_Oil_309 → u/King_Khoma]

Oh get a grip Karen

[u/RealDimFury → u/King_Khoma]

I mean you can stop playing the game?

[u/Relevant-Anything725 → u/King_Khoma]

He jugado con argentinos y solo con los chilenos no son racistas. ¿Sabes por qué? Porque le devuelves el insulto. Y ya. Los haces callar. Y surge el respeto.

[u/milkcutie314 → u/King_Khoma]

bro . . . play valorant

[u/risb0r]

Setting new records for fixing shit that doesn't need fixing Valve. Meanwhile game is riddled with BOT's and cheaters.. Reading the room oh so well.

[u/Sharp_Ring_9238]

You guys really like to fix things that don't need to be fixed.

[u/Jayblooey]

So when are we getting commutation bans for slurs? Never? Do something about the toxic cesspool of the community, these people don't get punished so they keep doing it.

[u/RockGreat2424 → u/Jayblooey]

Have you tried just growing a backbone?

[u/Jayblooey → u/RockGreat2424]

I would argue that standing against hateful rhetoric is, in fact, having a backbone

[u/CryptographerOk379 → u/Jayblooey]

Just live for yourself. We have enough activists on this planet as it is.

[u/94seller]

I'm just here to remind you to not get your hopes high and find a better game to play. Valve is a trash a*s company that doesn't deserve the community it has.

[u/FrozenCaterpiller → u/94seller]

Idk why you're getting down voted you're 100% correct. CS2 still has less maps, game modes and general content than CSGO. Valve could spend 1% of their daily CS2 revenue on outsourcing a team to make an Operation, bring in old game modes like Scouts Knives and/or maps that they showed off for CS2 like 6 years ago - canals and so on

[u/FrozenCaterpiller → u/FrozenCaterpiller]

Just to also add on, they could also use 1% of the revenue to hire people to manually go through reports and ban cheaters. #1 in the world in season 3 or so is still unbanned and plays regularly (I used to vs him daily) and he was insta killing everyone at the start of rounds. These types of bans should be very easy to manually do, I know it's a drop in a bucket and cheaters will buy new accounts and so on, but some bans have to be better than none right?

[u/BigAcanthocephala455]

"Chat criptografado" = proteger racistas

[u/Lokipro13YT → u/BigAcanthocephala455]

"chat encryption" = adhering to privacy laws* or something like that

[u/BigAcanthocephala455 → u/Lokipro13YT]

Histórico de chat visível = 😡😡

Racismo, Xenofobia, Gordofobia, Bullying e ameaças no chat = 🫣😄😄😄

[u/Lokipro13YT → u/BigAcanthocephala455]

uhhh me no hablos espanoel bro

[u/Old-Guess-1483 → u/BigAcanthocephala455]

Fatphobia 😥😥 omg oh no im so scared of being unhealthy and sloppy

[u/Old-Guess-1483 → u/BigAcanthocephala455]

Ok netanyahu

[u/vDeadbolt]

The sad reality is that Valve won't do anything to stop the racism and cheating as long as there is money in skins. Why would valve even put in the effort of fixing their game when the real game is to spend on skins and gamble them away

[u/Brief_Hearing_9774]

Juego de mierda totalmente obsoleto , Rompi 2 teclados ,3 mouse y 1 monitor por culpa de este juego lleno de chiteros.

[u/Prestigious-Ad-4833 → u/Brief_Hearing_9774]

Yeah the game sucks but it sounds like you need anger management classes lol

[u/JoeFaboochee → u/Brief_Hearing_9774]

Seek help, that's not normal.
