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.
My suggestion would be games with community run servers. They often moderate their own servers, and therefor much less cheating.
Now, my two recommendations might not be for everyone. Arma Reforger and Squad. Squad used to be a solid recommendation from me, but they fucked with the gun handling as well as ruined performance. So it’s a light recommendation.
Arma Reforger is a great time.
You might also check out DayZ. They also have community servers which are moderated, and they’re really good at catching cheaters.
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).
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
Tf2 has cheaters but not a massive amount, and it’s pretty casual so if they aren’t blatant then you can still play pretty normally. Once in a while you’ll run into a gang of them but you can just re-queue. Also if you got into the comp aspect you would probably find less cheaters because it’s all community run. Also tf2 is just an awesome shooter.
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.
It has amazing gunplay and movement.
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).
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.
Season 10 with crossbow let’s go
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
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…
Well thats disappointing. I’d avoid COD regardless but yeah still disappointing
Absolute best way to avoid cheaters is playing games with private servers and community moderators, infinitely better in every way except it’s not always as easy as “load game and click matchmake”. Arma is my favorite, it’s even become my go to game for playing weird stuff like Halo and Star Wars content.
Tons of older stuff being kept alive purely by dedicated communities, like Battlefield 2/Project Reality, BFBC2/Venice, Titanfall 1/R1, Titanfall 2/Northstar, Battlefront 2 og/legacy mod, Battlefront 2 EA via Kyber, several old CoD projects including combining games.
Also community and teamwork oriented games like Bellum, Squad, Glory to the Heroes, Gray Zone Warfare.
Virtual Reality is really fun for shooters tbh, extremely rare to see actual cheating there but it’s a lot to get into at first.
Otherwise I feel like I’ve rarely if ever seen cheaters on Holdfast, Overwatch, Bodycam, Straftat.
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
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.
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
FPS is a genre usually designed around something that’s easy for a computer to do but difficult for a human to do (aiming). It’s kind of inevitable. I tend to like the ones with small player counts that I can play with a few friends and fill out the rest of the match with bots, and there aren’t many of those these days. By now, I’ve gravitated toward fighting games, where cheating is often difficult for a computer to do by comparison, because any attack a player makes tends to also leave them vulnerable. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen, but in order for someone to win by cheating in a fighting game, you’re hardly touching the controller anymore, because the computer has to do all of the playing for you.
To my knowledge, only games with private rooms where you know who’s entering would be safe from cheaters.
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.
I recall someone mentioning the game allows disabling foliage as an exploit?
TF2 at least of recent dates
