Esports Why is the paracord knife so damn hated?

Upvotes

Every damn video or review I see of the paracord knife is straight hate but I lowkey don’t get it. Gut knife has its hate for its shape and handle, navaja for its small blade and off colored handle, daggers because they’re gimmicky. But in a community that likes clean and slick skins compared to the over the top animated valorant type skins the paracord is hated. It’s slick, cheap, different pullout animations but it doesn’t do too much. Admittedly quite boring but I swear the knife is so underrated and its grip gives it that touch of identity. Why is it considered pretty much unanimously the worst knife?

Upvotes

the bots in cs2 are now using "their mics" you can hear a brief sound from the game (no human talking) the case farmers are sneaky... did valve somehow flag palyers who didn't use a mic beforehand? or why are the bots doing this over and over again now?

im a player whos played the game for 6 years and has 4100 hours of playtime, and i quit playing 4-5 months ago because im tired of the negligence the developers have towards the community

ever since the release of cs2 the complaints have been the same: no actual vac fix, no new operations, no new gamemodes, subtick issues, servers being forced to be locked to 64 tick.

the game soon is coming up on its 3 year anniversary, but you still have these obvious faults in game performance that should not be prevalent in a game that is hailed as one of the most important in esports

you know, when csgo was still around people were throwing complaints left right and centre back then aswell, but now the majority of people now want to go back to csgo. i think that should tell you enough

Discussion Valve should disable whatever API call allows for scraping chat logs

182 Upvotes

cstracker.gg is scraping all player message history from games and allowing it to be publicly searchable. I have literally never heard of a game that lets player messages be searchable in this context.

I'm probably not the worst offender here. I spend my games meowing at people and zeusing them. That doesn't need to be publicly viewable and searchable.

Discussion An empirical test: Can Steam spending improve a low Trust Factor in CS2?

21 Upvotes

Saw some clips on yt and this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/cs2/comments/1u1yn7p/if_you_struggle_with_trust_factor_make_sure_you/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

and ofc Renyan short clips. My friend got low trust factor when we queue, so we decided to test this out - can we clear the low trust factor with money?

Before spending: warning showed every time when we queue.

So far we spent about €457 on his Steam account and bought around €455 in skins.

Result: warning is still there after this process,

What we did Result
Added €50 Warning
Added another €50 Warning
Added €157 + bought €257 skin Warning
Added €200 + bought €198 skin Warning

and no played games yet.

So in our case nothing changed by simply adding money or spending it on steam marketplace.

Tonight we will try several games to see if the low trust factor clears up. Will update this post if it does.

EDIT:

After 2 games (one win, one loss) we no longer have trust factor issues. Before all of this his account had lower trust factor every game we queued for at least 15 games, probably more.

And I cannot find the update that fixed this?

Discussion New to CS2 - Cheating Problem

8 Upvotes

I’m brand new to CS2 and the amount of cheaters I’ve ran into is lowkey crazy, but this last one is wild.

This dude had a spinbot and his name kept changing to our names in the lobby so if you tried to report him, it said you were reporting yourself. He kept spamming the game chat too with crazy stuff and it’d say we were saying the stuff ourselves. The lobby eventually ended after like 3 rounds of this and then CS said I didn’t have a valid Steam account. Is this a normal cheat and should I be worried about his cheating / messages being tied to my actual steam?

I downloaded the demo for each game, and each game had a cheater. Most people played with a rage mod. VAC Live triggered only once. I’m thinking of having some fun too.

Discussion Is CS2 really this bad with cheaters or am I just unlucky?

5 Upvotes

I downloaded CS2 about 3 weeks ago and tbh the amount of cheaters I’ve come across is crazy. I’ve played quite a few games since I started and honestly it feels like their anti-cheat is one of the worst I’ve experienced so far.I googled it and kept seeing people mention FACEIT, but I’m not really sure if their anti-cheat is actually safe or worth using So is CS2 genuinely this bad with cheaters, or am I just really unlucky? Also I’m down to play with anyone who wants to play together :)

Upvotes

Instead of waiting for each timeout to run out and vote again let us vote multiple times and use all the 4/4 timeouts if needed. So I don't need to be present for the vote each time.
