No, they can't. This server-side solution cannot be bypassed.

ESP will still be used to sub for the wallhack. The worst side effect of the cheaters losing their wallhacks will be more agressive aim bot usage. Just hope it's mostly the more obvious auto aiming so it can be caught quickly by aleart players.

so what this update is telling us, is that wallhacking is done for?

It started out with finding the dumbest name I could find, and what do you know, it stuck.

This is something of a sad day, then. Over the past year, CS suffered through the development and mass deployment of powerful tools like OGC and its variants. Most people were on the receiving end of the ownage... its enough to ruin your CS game, to be sure.



The problem with stopping cheats is sort of like the problem with totalitarian governments. In a democracy, if there is something that you dont like, you can always complain about it with your buddies, and comfort yourself that there is something unfair about the system. In totalitarian regimes, there is no mystery as to whats happening -- someone else has all the power and you know you will be dissappointed in the end anyway... so whats the point of playing in the first place?



So it goes with cheaters and anti-cheaters aswell. If you know a game is PERFECTLY fair and you lose playing it, you'll never play again if you rationally seek to preserve your self-esteem.



These are the sociological implications of the anti-cheat movement. In spite of their benefit for the average player, they also make the largely chance/creative aspects of the game largely unattainable. There can be no heros! There can be no higher ideal!



Consider this, how did CS survive months of all out cheating on most large public servers? Did someone promise to make the pain stop? No. Did admins come along and ban players? Not very often.



What kept CS alive in this dark period was the realization that whether you won or lost, there was something about the game that wasn't really fair anyway... ping differences, wallhack, anti-recoil scripts, speed-hack, aimbot, snake, burst settings, winamp support, total radar, etc...

alot of horseshit.

This might be true if you weren't just talking about a certain group of players in the CS community. Outside of public servers, most people just accept they were beaten when they have lost. Thats it. They don't point the cheater finger at people, they just say "gg" and go their way.



But in public servers, yes. When people are overwhelmed, they tend to blame it on cheats rather than the fact that they simply aren't that good.



However, does it really matter if you win or lose in a public server anyway?
