Valve's solution is a simple one: let the players police themselves. The OverwatchĪs the competitive first-person-shooter (it had over nine million unique players last month) CS:GO naturally attracts cheaters.
#BEST COUNTER STRIKE HACK FREE#
We know that if we can keep CS:GO free of cheaters, the game-and the community-will be all the better for it. We know that a competitive match of CS:GO is on average a 45-minute commitment, and we know that abandoning it will result in punishment from teammates and game alike. Overwatch, which lets experienced players like myself ban other players, works so well because we know what it's like to be on the receiving end of a wall-hacking charlatan. It is that shared hatred of cheaters that Valve taps into with Overwatch, its new crowdsourced anti-cheating tool. No matter the game, we all know the pain of going up against an obvious cheater: that person who makes the lives of other players a misery, and griefs them just for kicks. This isn't like being at the whim of some hacker who shows off by messing with the game-you're at the mercy of the weasels who bought or subscribed to their script to "win." As all characters are modeled after types of Counter Strike players, Hacker is modeled after players who hack/mod Counter Strike to give themselves advantages.In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the absolute lowest strata of the community is occupied by cheaters.
#BEST COUNTER STRIKE HACK PRO#
He was even capable of being immune to the Admin's attack in Hacker's Wrath, which he prepared for after several players took notice of his presence, with The Pro eventually taking to the Admin about it. Due to the usage of his hacks, Hacker can be quite skilled and quick, and his hacking abilities make Hacker a very good strategist. His competitive abilities are also implied to be lacking extremely. As such, he is easily the worst teammate, as he doesn't pay attention or focus on his allies. Hacker often plays and thinks solely for himself and not of his teammates, mainly focusing on causing the most trouble for the opposing team with his hacks. Hacker supposedly killed Striker in this short. Hacker then arms himself with an AK-47, M4A1-S, an unnamed rocket launcher, a bandoleer, and C4. Annoyed, Striker kicked Hacker to the side. In this short, Hacker is confined as a chicken, and pecks at Striker's foot after his victory. The only other time Hacker had direct conflict with another player is with Striker in Strikers Rampage. In the Counter Strike Global Offensive Trailer, the Admin himself is used as a weapon by swat as the Anti-Hacker Weapon, who easily kills the Hacker as a result. In de_dust2, the Admin spotted him and turned him into a chicken before removing him from the server entirely about a minute later. Hacker and the Admin have fought in almost all of Hacker's appearances. Hacker has three kills, one death, and one admin removal. To express his extreme desire to remove Hacker, the Admin himself was used as a weapon specifically to kill Hacker. Due to his style of play, he is the immediate archenemy of Admin, who is required to remove Hacker from the game, and will do so by any means necessary. As such, he is a force to be reckoned with. Hacker, as his name implies, uses illegitimate methods in the game to get an advantage. Hacker appears in chicken form, with a bored look on his face and a bomb strapped to his back. Hacker is the main antagonist and make his most prominent appearance in Hacker's Wrath, where he is more powerful and has control on an army of Hackeroids. Freekill, SWAT, and Assassin finally corner Hacker, but are too late to defuse the bomb, which then explodes, ending the animation.
He then appears in chicken form, as a part of "Chicken Defusal Mode", where Dumbass plants a bomb on Hacker and has him run around the map. First, in his human form, he uses energy blasts from his hands to kill Striker and Psycho, only for SWAT to use the "Anti-Hacker Weapon" (which consists of Admin) to defeat him. Hacker appears twice in this short, both in human and chicken form.
As Striker looks on in horror, Hacker then arms himself with an M4A1, an AK-47, a bazooka, and a C4, and kills Striker. Striker then kicks Hacker away, which then angers Hacker. He pecks at Striker's foot, annoying him. Hacker (still in chicken form) appears at the end of Striker's Rampage. Hacker is then chased around the map by Dumbass until Admin finally removes him from the game. With Hacker ready to exploit and cheat his way to victory, Admin soon intervenes and turns Hacker into a chicken. Hacker first appears as a new player joining the game.
