The latest CSGO update was dictated by one player that surprised even Valve

21 Feb 2022 19:01

It is rare for developers to dedicate a specific game update to a specific person. And yet it was so in this case.

On February 7, one of the players shared a trick on his Twitter which, while requiring the use of mathematics, allowed him to get a rather unexpected advantage.

It looks weird, and it’s nonstandard enough that it caught the attention of Valve itself.

The studio first responded with a meme from The Office, and then went on to prevent the use of this method – it was somewhat of an unfair advantage. You could calculate the pixel and aim the grenade.

Buying weapons in CS GO gave him nearly $ 10,000. A meme that turned into a “scam”

And that’s what the last update was about

Many people wondered why Valve introduced the update, tagging one of the players – ropz.

Jest to w pewien sposób wyjątkowa sytuacja, zabezpieczono komendy (getpos and getpos_exact) przed oszustwami, pozbywając się sposobu na dokładne wyliczenie smoke’ów. Pokazuje to, że nawet po wielu latach społeczność potrafi zaskoczyć Valve. W zasadzie, gdyby nie tweet, który zyskał ponad 19 tysięcy polubień, to mało kto by o tym słyszał.
