A Counter-Strike player named whitewrm recently highlighted an issue that seems to be stirring up quite a debate in the gaming community. The player was part of a match where they had to kick a seeming cheater from their team, leaving them facing off against opponents in an uneven battle.
Summary
- Cheating in online games continues to remain a significant issue.
- Kicking a cheater doesn’t always yield a positive outcome; the match continues unevenly.
- The inability to surrender after kicking a cheater has some players calling for policy change.
The Cheating Problem
Whitewrm’s post described a frustrating incident as he recounted their efforts to maintain integrity during a Counter-Strike match that was spoiled by a bad player ‘blatantly tracing everyone through walls’. Unfortunately, it ended up in an uncomfortable 3v5 confrontation post the cheater’s removal, and to whitewrm’s ire, he and his team had no option to surrender.
Community Reactions
In response to whitewrm’s query, ‘why the fuck can’t we surrender if we kick a cheater?’, Counter-Strike player No_Swan_9470 chimed in with an explanation that ‘you can’t surrender without someone abandoning’. On a similar note was milkman6453’s comment on how one could ‘never forfeit unless someone abandons’.
Plausible Solution?
However, another player, KewaiiGamer, expressed discontent with the current system. According to him, the feature to disallow surrender post a player getting kicked was a ‘stupid’ update introduced in recent years that ‘should not exist’. He argued that although this rule may have been put into place to ‘avoid parties of 4 from kicking the random’, it fails to make sense in an event where the 5th player is a cheater.
Thus, it’s clear that the Counter-Strike community shares a common frustration with the cheating problem, and the debate on the sanction against it continues. If policy changes could occur to match these sentiments, the gaming environment could potentially be reshaped for the better.
