Not only did ScriptKid fool thousands of Counter-Strike cheaters into downloading and becoming victim to his script, their most embarrassing moments have been made available to watch. By including a script that sent the replay footage of every cheater mishap directly to him, ScriptKid created a magnificent video, including the funniest trolling mome While Valve and others have tried to take action against cheaters , using software to detect and ban them (Valve Anti-Cheat in the case of CS:GO ), they can still run rampant in many games. Gamers who recognize ScriptKid's name may remember him from a previous video where he trolled PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) cheaters in a similar fashion. Causing them to be ejected from their cars once they were traveling over 85 km/h, to shoot their teammates when trying to revive them, and to be prevented from throwing cooked grena There is no guarantee, however, that YouTube would be more forgiving of controversial content. The infamous online commentator Leafy was permanently banned on both YouTube and Twitch for hate speech in September. While S1mple's violations do not appear to be as flagrant as Leafy's, repeated offenses are likely to be treated more seriously than a first-time This has been a big year for high-profile bans. Dozens of high profile accounts have been hit with temporary and permanent bans in 2020 for inappropriate behavior including the use of sexist, homophobic, and racist slurs. For example, the extremely popular German Twitch Partner and YouTuber MontanaBlack88 was banned for posting videos of himself harassing women last mo In what appears to be bizarre effort to avoid oversight for its loot boxes, the developers of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive have added a controversial new feature. The new feature is exclusive to France, where lawmakers are currently evaluating new regulations regarding loot boxes and gambling in video games. The feature, in an extremely limited fashion, allows players to look inside of a loot box prior to spending money to unlock it. And Valve clearly believes it will help CS:GO avoid additional scrut There have been mixed responses to this change in the comments of a post by CS:GO 's Twitter account, and on the r/csgo subreddit. Many decry the change for giving teams that inadvertently lose members from disconnects or those that kick potentially "toxic" individuals a more substantial disadvantage. Others suggest players have abused the bot system by kicking out other users they deem to be less useful on the battlefield, but even then many feel there was likely a better solut Twitch continues its streak of cracking down on streamers who violate their community guidelines, this time dropping the hammer on one of [https://counterstrike2pedia.com/ Counter-Strike 2 Maps guide|https://counterstrike2pedia.Com/]: Global Offensive 's popular players. Unlike the platform's recent DMCA-inspired content culling, "aggression" earned this streamer his fourth temporary A number of other changes were made through the January 7, 2021 patch. For example, SWAT sleeves have been downsized on "all existing models," the Ancient map has been optimized, and Steam China users can now receive CS:GO Prime Account Status if they have a government identity verification. There are also a number of bug fixes and minor adjustments one might expect from an online game update, as seen in a recent Monster Hunter World: Iceborne pat Everyone loves to win, especially when playing against others, but cheating ruins the game for all players . Cheaters end up with no challenge, players using fair-means lose out and get frustrated, and ultimately developers and publishers lose, as fed up gamers stop playing games they would otherwise still be enjoying. It is a shame that some people still want to cheat, but with people like ScriptKid on the side of fair players, perhaps eventually they can be stop A highly ambitious Counter-Strike: Global Offensive mod aiming to bring back the "classic feeling" of Counter-Strike 1.6 has hit a major roadblock. After spending nearly eight years in limbo, the Counter-Strike: Classic Offensive mod for CS:GO seems to have been blocked by Valve, leaving both its developers and fans disappoin In order to further contain CS:GO 's French marketplace, perhaps to avoid market manipulation through the use of X-Ray Scanners, Valve is making one additional change. Loot boxes can no longer be purchased from the Steam Community Market in France. All CS:GO players in the country will have to earn their own loot boxes. Though, naturally, Valve will still allow those players to sell their loot boxes to those in other countr Another contentious change in the latest patch is the removal of the ability to highlight weapons during competitive matches using "pings." Twitter user unhappy_an suggests this alleviates a concern in which players could use discarded weapons to track when opponents are in a given locale, but at the same time it removes functionality for online matchmaking teams that want to tell allies where they can pick up suppl
