lets approach this positively, CS:GO going free

[Acid Panda]

I think its not a bad thing for cs go to be going free. Why?

having access to more of a player base is a positive thing that will be good in the long run.

The attitude towards hacking is just heightened in cs as its become a transcended meme and its an easy and now pretty mute point top make. Valve have made improvements to matchmaking, maybe given not the ones we want but its progressing non less. The new VAC-net seems to be filtering more of the hackers and I've seen less. Now in any competitive system there are ALWAYS going to be hackers that just something thats we have to accept. the best ting that can be done is that you do the overwatch cases and report players.

The battle Royal mode is an experiment and the fact that they are  even doing something is good and especially since the cs team feels smaller than it once was. If it works great and if it does not, lesson learned.

The attitude around the 64/128 tick rate on the servers is eaisly sorted out by going to ESEA or Faceit. I know you will have to pay bu if you want the best experience then you do have to pay. Think of it as buying better quality food. why not get better quality if you can. and if you dont/can't do something to make it possible.(this does not reflect on proper real life, peoples circumstances do change I understand that) 

My final point is that different is good and people who attack a medium because something is different should really stay a little quieter, if the criticism is positive and will improve the experience thats even better. but going I DONT LIKE IT on reddit or any place like that would be irreverent.

 

Please discuss/argue/flame nicely

As if there weren't enough hackers before...

 

 

Valve is trying really hard to get people back into CS:GO. I played it recently (before the latest update) and it was still plagued with hackers. I feel like it going F2P will bring a lot of players for a short time, but after that...

yes they cant stop people from hacking and thats the same with any game. the player base will go up then down as new people get intoduced to the game. also its moving more towards the games as a service

I know they can't stop people from hacking, but CS:GO has a much bigger hacking problem than any game of a similar popularity that I can think of.
