But in all seriousness, Crit and Minicrit particles dont disappear for a while even if you are cloaked. If you have been healed by an enemy vaccinator, the icon above your head may persist until you switch classes, and in general a lot of effects in a non modified game can show your position. Not to mention spawning wallhacks, but those are disabled in competitive.

i remember back in, like, the early 2010s there was this one guy on tftv/ugc who was absolutely 1000% convinced one of the best snipers in highlander was cheating. like constantly accused them of it with increasingly shoddy reasoning. this eventually expanded to him accusing so many snipers of cheating that people felt bad for the people that *weren't* accused lol

[@bernardmontgomery8645]

Fun fact: At 1:19 in the list of "cheaters" banned by the Anti-Cheat team there is at least one non-cheating player. That player is the guy in last place - fidus. He got banned circa a month ago for WH and as proof there is a SINGLE clip that could be summarised as: The map is KOTH Viaduct. There are 4 people in the clip, our "cheater" (pyro), his medic and heavy and the accuser (enemy spy). Spy is on top of the sniper cliff with the remaining three bellow it. They have no idea spy is there. Pyro is looking slightly up checking the ridge of the cliff, he sees nothing so he turns around to spycheck. There is noone behind him so he turns back to see the accuser disguised as a teammate jumping from the cliff towards our pyro (not to the health pack, rather directly at pyro's head while turning mid air). As anyone would do he presses M1, then he panic airblasts the spy into his own medic. The medic gets stabbed and spy runs away. End of the clip. One more note, the clip itself was recorded while inspecting the replay and we can hear audio of poeple inspecting it, we havetwo guys there the accuser and the Anti-Cheat team member. And I ALMOST feel sorry for the poor guy, cause the accuser is screaming into his ear that this is "ONE HUNDRED % PROOF THAT PYRO HAS WH! THERE IS NO WAY HE KNEW I WAS THERE! HOW DID HE KNOW IT WAS ME! HE HAS WALLS!" (you know the classic lines). As I said I almost felt bad for the admin. But like c'mon you're supposed to be good at spotting cheaters. First there was nothing wrong with the clip and second a single clip like this is nowhere near enough evidence to ban someone. Anyways thanks for reading all of this. I'm not trying to say that all banned people are innocent, just that banned does not mean 100% guilty. After all the ETF2L admins are just normal people like us. And everyone makes mistakes.

Wow, this takes me back. I used to be a bug hunter on TF2 near to the game's launch because I had experience modding source engine games from CS:S. I found a lot of these issues and pointed them out to Valve hoping they would update either the game *or* their engine, under the assumption that they would still make competitive games in Source, and god forbid they be inherited into Source 2. Instead, I equipped a bunch of cheaters with easily executed and unbannable cheats. :( Excellent deep dive though! Great video. :)

@@simonnachreiner8380 Lmao. I would have felt worse if people hadn't already discovered "$nocash" placed in the game's .vmt (material) files renders objects and players through walls (an exploit that was always known on the Source engine, even before TF2, so NO clue why it was never patched), but at least that problem was correctable with the sv_pure setting. For some reason cheaters focused on making injections to bypass sv_pure instead of doing the thing that took even less effort and brainpower, which was modifying other folders. Still, a pox on my house, I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@FenexDragonis]

Valve just hopes someone like you or me eventually gets sick of their apathy and creates the fix for them.. Funny thing is, fixes exist for many exploitable issues, but the creators refuse to submit them to valve, out of protest of what they have turned the game into over the last decade

Ive talked to quite a few competitive players who ended up closet cheating, usually its because of this one major reason, and i quote one of them : *"after a certain point you become so good that you barely see any improvements anymore which really demotivated me because i thought i was never gonna get better"* Its basically like muscle growth when you start going to the gym or doing sports, first year or two you see alot of progress but as you continue to improve you start seeing it less and less, which to someone who enjoyed seeing rapid improvement can be mentally draining, so they tend to go to a more "darker" route, whether in tf2 with cheating or steroids in the gym. *this does not however excuse cheating in any shape or form*

@@BloneJ loch n load allows demo to pipe shit from really far away (such as the enemy medic) and in very non committal positions which makes it really annoying. the reduced clip and lack of rollers are definitely downsides but the fact that it's less enjoyable to play against is enough for eu to ban stuff. but i'd say that the case for banning/unbanning the mg and loch are both really divisive esp since rgl allows both weapons still

I always suspected that people modified the decloak sound, but never bothered to look it up if it was possible. Some people do a sudden 180 even if you decloak a mile away from them, during a chaotic team battle, and some snap a 180 as you're approaching them.

[@rompevuevitos222]

That is normal if the spy is active Players memorize the time it takes for the spy to arrive from spawn, and once it could be possibly around they start checking often

[@rainchopper898]

There is also a script that turns you 180 pulls out your melee and holds down mouse one and when you impress it it snaps you back to where you where looking

@@spectacledman I’d tend to call this an exploit, though kinda agree that it should be allowed because the Pyro must A: Deal 300 fire damage B: Get into a position above an enemy player or use the Thermal Thruster to get onto a part of map geometry (if there’s any on the map) If the Pyro uses the Thruster then they must deal 300 damage without a damaging secondary and if they use a flare gun then they must get above the enemy with positioning or a Det jump, both of which will likely just result in death. Lets be honest if a Pyro pull off a successful cancel the enemy team probably wasn’t paying attention and will get punished accordingly.

I remember over half a decade ago I had some of those exploit mods as a kid. One that removed the scope model from the sniper along with the black area when scoped in and another that replaced the spy decloak with the "surprise buttsecks" meme. Hell my entire game was almost unrecognizable because of the many skin mods I had from gamebanana. It didn't seem like much at the time, but that extra information was actually so OP. The spy decloak in particular because out of nowhere you'd just hear that stupid meme in the background alerting you of where the spy was.

I think you’re one of, if not the only, KZbinr I’ve seen fully utilize the captions like this. Small details but very impressive and respectable.

epic editing and humor. loved the video!

Cheating in tf2 has always been a strange case to me

[@hawkticus_history_corner]

The whole bot thing has been weird for me. I ran into them now during Scream Fortress, but they are insanely obvious about it and are... well, stupid. The bots don't even vote to save each other, just take up spots for a few seconds before getting kicked. Its super weird.

they were right

[@tomynaumann]

Thank you for exposing the reverse quantum crouch solarlight, now everyone who tries it will find out that it only works very rarely and they'll just be feeding the engies all the kills 😂

[@alsnana00]

these subtitles are so good compared to the non-stop subtitles most youtubers/shorts use nowadays, thanks.

[@champion99999]

bro really taught us how to cheat

2:30 i like exploits are gold in Subtitles

[@kittentrucker7353]

Wow, i have Closed Captions on and you put a lot of effort into those.

[@Raelyn]

Oh boy. While I do understand that exposure is how some of this stuff gets fixed (in theory), I can't say I'm excited to know this video will teach a lot more players how to install that Spy cloak sound exploit. It's already an incredibly hard to detect mod in the comp scene unless the player is being very obvious about it. Again, exposure is hopefully what will lead to it being fixed, I'm just dreading it being more commonplace.

[@Spokenword]

Valve is entirely to blame. They had ample time to fix it.

[@lordpumpkinhead265]

@@Spokenword They still *HAVE* time to fix it, they just choose not to give a shit.

[@Xx_SuperPenis_xX]

I feel like people who are willing to cheat would already know about this

Hahaha you put moist critical right after he mentioned jesus. Absolutely amazing video!

[@olitory]

thank god my country is too poor to run bots lmao only a few locally hosted bots join but they're gone the next day, most bots here in brazil are from other countries when we did have a large scale bot invasion last smissmass everybody went to play on uncletopia edit 12 of august: yep history repeats itself, bot evasion, uncletopia is full in 2 weeks i can play casual again note: it may have been last halloween instead of smissmass but i dont remember 10:00 pretty sure etf2l also made the decision to ban that sniper lol, poor wizat

Your editing style is becoming the AsumSaus of TF2. It’s beautiful.

[@mp5_Puppy]

Your subtitles are fucking amazing, thank you!

[@Brown95P]

l love how most of the lightning round exploits are completely exclusive to Upward. It still baffles me that such a buggy map has been allowed in comp for this long.

[@getaround1276]

If you ignore the bugs it's a contender for best designed map in the gane

[@Techhunter_Talon]

Wonder if anyone got banned because of them getting launched up into the ceiling by someone on the enemy team and hitting the resupply through the ceiling?

[@CornCamp]

For community fixes to be added at a decent rate, I would assume a robust suite of automated tests to be necessary to catch the inevitable wave of regression bugs. It is safe to assume tf2 doesn't have a comprehensive suite of tests like that. To build one would be a gargantuan task. TF2's reliance on name strings will not make it any easier as code compiles regardless of misspellings. In 2007, games weren't built to accomodate routine content updates. On the bright side, Spy getting screwed is funny.
