Valve marches against the army of cheaters

Posted on Saturday, 26 March 2005 by maxx-, source: Fragland
Valve will determine cheaters on the Valve-network once and for all. They're going to try out a beta of the new "Valve Anti-Cheat system" next week, with which they'll be able to ban every cheater from the Valve-network. Cheaters are being advised to clear their PC's completely from any cheats, otherwise their Steam-account will be deleted.

Next week we'll begin beta testing the new Valve Anti-Cheat system. For people playing multiplayer games, there will not be any visible difference while we're conducting the beta, but we will be logging cheating violations into our database to make sure it's ready for general release. This will be the last public notice before the system is released and active for everyone.


It looks like all cheaters disturbing the peace on Counterstrike, Counterstrike: Source, Half-life Deathmatch and Half-life² Deathmatch will entirely disappear.

Anti-cheat protection systems has never stopped anyone from cheating. There are shitloads of hacks that bypasses Punkbuster for instance.

Before the launch of HL2 they said HL2 MP wouldn't have or need any anti-cheat protection since they would update the code all the time...

I've given up MP entirely...too many loosers using hacks.
