Hackers Destroying TF2, Valve Fix This!

[Gurbangly (R.I.P Rick May)]

The amount of hackers I've seen this WEEK has been quite amazing. This needs to stop,Valve.

Seriously, if we KNOW that there is a hacker, we shouldn't have to ask the other team to vote off the hacker. Everyone in the server should be able to kick the hacker. And later, you guys at Valve should verify if there's any 3rd party software that's giving them the ability to destroy a great game. If there is, ban them

Also, in order to prevent hackers from changing names so it's almost impossible to identify and vote kick them, force them to either only be able to change their name every couple of minutes, or only at the main menu.

Valve, I expect better from you. PLEASE fix this. Thanks.

I've encountered around 5 or 6 hackers in the past week. Mainly snipers claiming that they play competitively on an alt account.
I've met a few soldiers that aimbot hacked and even a few scout hackers.
But mainly I've encountered snipers that hacked.

But the fact is, you don't. You have 0% empirical evidence that they hacked.

I've also encountered aimbot nospread heavies. Don't worry, VAC still works, as I have experienced many aimbotters getting VAC banned recently.

There is an easy way to tell if someone is hacking
1. Go spy with invis watch
2. Cloak, exit your base and attempt the approach suspected hacker from behind
3. If he is truly aimbotting, he should turn around and shoot you instantly.
One time however, this guy had a hack that made it so that he doesn't shoot cloaked spies. But he was still hacking because he got VAC banned minutes later

Well,if he's hacking he would have sniped you while you are cloaked.

There might be a new exploit found or hack tool. Someone could take one for the team and DDOS the ♥♥♥♥ out of whatever site is hosting it or find some torrent exploit to mess up the distribution of this said tool, if it exists. I don't recommend this.

[Yes]

I've never seen a hacker

'Newell called cheating “a negative-sum game, where a minority benefits less than the majority is harmed.” It's obvious Valve and other developers take the issue seriously (...)' - PC Gamer

Sounds like "giving a flying ♥♥♥♥" to me. Why would they even bother checking people's DNS caches to see if they have cheat-software trying to phone-home if they "didn't give a flying ♥♥♥♥"?

'John Gibson, president of Tripwire Interactive ( Rising Storm , Killing Floor ) told me (...) “Give me five minutes alone with a hacker or a hack writer,” he laughed. “That's what I think about that mindset.”' - ibid

Do you think Tripwire, as a company, aren't driven by profit? Or does wanting to beat up hackers not qualify as "giving a flying ♥♥♥♥" in your opinion?

Enough with the hyperbole. We apparently have an influx of cheaters for the same reason we apparently have an influx of scrubs: School holidays, and thus a sea of dumb kids.

Ban's for a different game.

[OLDMAN🎅]

If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future. ALL VAC-Secured servers, CHECK the vac ban list http://www.vacbanned.com/engine/check, i no the hack the player was using.

[$hark]

I've seen lots of hackers lately but when I get out of game and look at their profiles they are all banned. VALVE is NOT to BLAME, it's just people are becoming stupid.
