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.

[@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.

[@TheDandyChap]

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

[@MatiasMaldona3]

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*

[@edfreak9001]

i'm gonna be honest, I think Phlog cancelling should count as tech rather than cheating. I know it's not a popular sentiment since everyone kinda hates the phlog but in a competitive environment I think it's a cool edge to a weapon that'd only really come out in hyper aggressive situations.

@@FletcherGoothis is not a bug; the game is behaving exactly as it is supposed to in this circumstance.

[@Bean41]

@@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 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.

when people are corner sniping it's very clearly intentional and it forces the other sniper to peek with a charge. sniper is garbage and should be banned anyways because highlander overemphasizes the class way too much. btw rgl allows rampant cheating anyway. extremely blatant aimbots and the sort that go unpunished, but if you say a bad meanie word then you're done.

As a fellow neighbour of yours beeing a cs player I really enjoyed to watch this video! Man people are so nerdy figuring all this stuff out I love it! :) Of cause not cheats or all the exploits but when something creative is beeing found.

4:18 literally 1984

[@cringehunter3812]

Context ?

[@JohnJCB]

​@cringehunter3812 The fact it's literally 1984

[@sgas]

I so appreciate the caption edits and captioning everything

[@TashiTheChildOfApollo]

I love how every Tf2 KZbinr is dunking on Pyrocynical for using the fat mod so funny

[@guardianoftheledge4966]

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.

Part of me wants the sound file for the distorted boom at 14:00

"Even if Gabe Newell Thanos snapped all the bots out of the game", ask and it shall be done I guess... Eventually.

[@TheSpokenBanana]

8:14 that's real life logic too...

[@tlof1915]

status update: the bot ban happened in valve time - the bots are gone as of the Summer 2024 update!

[@listertf2]

oh god ive turned solarlight into a phlog goblin (pls make a montage of all your phlog cancels at some point)

[@DreamGuyKk]

The captions are well done, good job!

[@lordkaos31]

11:38 if I zoom in on the crosshair on my phone it vibrates it’s power is emanating.

[@loy2195]

4:50 only thing I got from that is that the Demoman is inhumanely good at throwing it back.

[@C0DY420]

I think the phlog cancel should be allowed because of how hard it can be to do on more skilled players

[@boqk]

11:13 I swear this is just a group hallucination

[@lPuffalo]

13:22 Ah, the Roadkill! special

[@Alxium]

Bugged shadows caused by loading a font that doesn't exist is some prime source spaghetti.

[@m_affiliates]

someone should start a league where all of this is fair game if it hasn't been made already

[@konoegiatanez3754]

I know its an old video but I can assume the reason why Phlog canceling is bad vs Wall bugging is that, Wall Bugging as Soldier lets you essentially do the same thing as a regular Soldier bomb on CERTAIN bits of geometry vs completing negating the downside of the Phlog on top of getting both the intended crits and getting a small amount of uber, which is only intended for protecting the taunt on essentially anywhere so long as you got the right elevation and timing.

[@DappyFroggy]

The title is very interesting to me🗿

[@Xx_SuperPenis_xX]

Why hello there

[@i_drinkliquid]

Wait What Mod Are You Using That Puts The Weapon In The Middle Of Your Screen?

[@s942]

Oh god. Casual boutta be crazy huh

[@simpIeidiot]

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy.

[@uphillwalrus5164]

@@simpIeidiot hilarious and original

[@jeffboy4231]

i just wanna say i appreciate these captions! they are really awesome

[@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?

[@rowanparker4553]

I logged into TF2 1 week ago and saw I had 33 report messages from me reporting bot accounts and I was so happy

[@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
