I’ve been playing CSGO lately, since it came back to Steam store but problem is just the same as CS2 maybe worse, because you don’t need Prime Account (I think) to surf the communities servers and the game is free.
I just left a match with 2 guys using wall and aim, we all agreed on our own team they’re cheating. We end up just quitting.
I tried Delta Force too even tho the Warfare matches are filled with bots not so many cheaters, the Extraction mode is filled with cheaters.
I wonder if there is anything decent at all. I don’t mind the game mode, 5v5, 32v32 or Battle Royale. Any FPS I’d be down to play it.
I’m starting to think that online play without cheaters is an utopia.
You’d think, but Joelemz is doing 100% of all CoD’s on his YT/Twitch and people are cheating in old CoD games on consoles. If there’s online there are going to be cheaters. I even encountered some in old Chivalry…
You might want to look into Hell Let Loose, it’s not 100% cheater free but community servers tend to be good at keeping them away.
In my ~500 hours I might have seen 3 confirmed cheaters, and even when someone is cheating it doesn’t affect the entire game as much due to the larger scale compared to a game like CS.
Hell Let Loose is not an easy game, you will die a lot to people you can’t see, doesn’t mean they are cheating. Game sense, communication and a decent aim will go a long way.
If there is an online shooter that doesn’t have cheaters, I haven’t been able to find it. I’ve kinda given up on playing online games. I have found some single player fps games that you might want to check out. Trepang², VOID/BREAKER, and Echo Point Nova
Overwatch would be the one I where I’ve encountered virtually no cheating, especially the last couple of years. I haven’t played The Finals in awhile, but I remember it being pretty clean of cheaters too.
I would say The Finals. It doesn’t have a flood of cheaters due to the semi-low playercount (13k avg), but the skill ceiling is high as fuck. Which means you will probably lose a ton of rounds before getting a hang of the flow of the game.
I can attest to the high skill ceiling, felt like a complete noob for my first like 10 hours playing; That is not meant to be a discouraging statement though. I haven’t had this much fun playing an fps since the hay days of Overwatch(1).
In WW1 over the top, there’s probably cheaters. But the weapons are WWI inaccurate so not sure if a cheater would get much of an advantage. Plus 200 player chaos
Games that do not have monetary incentives for winning/playing generally have significantly fewer cheaters (IE no drops or trading or anything like that, that could support a 3rd party black market). Also games with player-ran servers that have active moderation nearly 24/7.
Yes I agree that’s why I was playing CSGO there’s absolute no reward or anything, skins are gone, inventory doesn’t work because it was all moved to CS2. You get not a single reward for playing except for the fun. But still people cheat.
Even tho community servers allow you to choose skins freely without need to pay at least the communities I’m playing (which is Brazil region).

You should really try DMZ (shhhhh nobody tell them)
Natural selection 2 doesn’t have cheaters, but it’s a small player base with a large learning curve.
I didn’t notice a ton of cheaters on halo infinite, but I’m not crazy about most their game modes.
I’d say any mainstream shooter is apt for cheaters these days. I’d recommend looking at older games or maybe niche projects like tribes fan projects.
Those only have really small groups of people but chances are they having fun with each other and not bothering with cheating

Well thats disappointing. I’d avoid COD regardless but yeah still disappointing
TF2 at least of recent dates
To my knowledge, only games with private rooms where you know who’s entering would be safe from cheaters.

I recall someone mentioning the game allows disabling foliage as an exploit?

Back when I used to play CSGO a lot, faceit had very few cheaters. Is it worse now or something? Or why not play that?
I think there’s no more FaceIT for CSGO only CS2.
Also the guys are way try hard I’m looking for something between competitive-casual, too competitive people get stressed easily.
Like I’d love to see competitive back on CSGO with more focus on anti-cheat.
Ah, fair enough. Only other option I can think of other than faceit for cs2 would be like a private community, with in-house games and stuff.
Battlefield 1 is my favourite multiplayer fps of all time and I don’t run into cheaters as far as I know. 3000 hours in this game in the last 10 years
Straftat, its fun, i recommend getting 1 to 3 friends to play it with. Feels like old school fps games, like goldeneye free for all but with sliding.
Older source engine shooters, party game shooters

It has amazing gunplay and movement.
Also the low player count isn’t bad cause you play in 3 person teams so it’s 3v3v3. You just need 9 people to play a game.
Unless it is World Tour/Cashout (Ranked)
That one needs 24 players
Season 10 with crossbow let’s go
