Cheating in Competitive TF2 Leagues

As Team Fortress 2 grows older, with more bugs and exploits showing up, the community-ran leagues tighten their rules and regulations.

I don't condone the use of cheats, or the use of any exploit that could be classed as cheating. My hope is that with increased awareness of these exploits, the TF2 community can submit fixes onto the TF2 workshop for Valve to consider.
If your goal is to use these exploits in Casual mode, especially the more severe ones, you'd honestly be better off using actual hacks. Hackers are banned so infrequently (by Valve) that a lot of cheaters are running around with inventories full of unusuals, confident that they'll never lose access to them. The only time hacking has any real risk is when venturing into competitive, which is where these exploits suddenly have more use.
Furthermore, these exploits are already public. A certain other KZheadr would have eventually posted about these.
Despite my joke at the end of the video, Valve is actually starting to add community fixes into the game. It just didn't happen in the summer update itself, which surprised a lot of people.
Subtitles were made by yours truly.

    • But in all seriousness, Crit and Minicrit particles dont disappear for a while even if you are cloaked. If you have been healed by an enemy vaccinator, the icon above your head may persist until you switch classes, and in general a lot of effects in a non modified game can show your position. Not to mention spawning wallhacks, but those are disabled in competitive.

  • Fun fact: At 1:19 in the list of "cheaters" banned by the Anti-Cheat team there is at least one non-cheating player. That player is the guy in last place - fidus. He got banned circa a month ago for WH and as proof there is a SINGLE clip that could be summarised as: The map is KOTH Viaduct. There are 4 people in the clip, our "cheater" (pyro), his medic and heavy and the accuser (enemy spy). Spy is on top of the sniper cliff with the remaining three bellow it. They have no idea spy is there. Pyro is looking slightly up checking the ridge of the cliff, he sees nothing so he turns around to spycheck. There is noone behind him so he turns back to see the accuser disguised as a teammate jumping from the cliff towards our pyro (not to the health pack, rather directly at pyro's head while turning mid air). As anyone would do he presses M1, then he panic airblasts the spy into his own medic. The medic gets stabbed and spy runs away. End of the clip. One more note, the clip itself was recorded while inspecting the replay and we can hear audio of poeple inspecting it, we havetwo guys there the accuser and the Anti-Cheat team member. And I ALMOST feel sorry for the poor guy, cause the accuser is screaming into his ear that this is "ONE HUNDRED % PROOF THAT PYRO HAS WH! THERE IS NO WAY HE KNEW I WAS THERE! HOW DID HE KNOW IT WAS ME! HE HAS WALLS!" (you know the classic lines). As I said I almost felt bad for the admin. But like c'mon you're supposed to be good at spotting cheaters. First there was nothing wrong with the clip and second a single clip like this is nowhere near enough evidence to ban someone. Anyways thanks for reading all of this. I'm not trying to say that all banned people are innocent, just that banned does not mean 100% guilty. After all the ETF2L admins are just normal people like us. And everyone makes mistakes.

  • Ive talked to quite a few competitive players who ended up closet cheating, usually its because of this one major reason, and i quote one of them : *"after a certain point you become so good that you barely see any improvements anymore which really demotivated me because i thought i was never gonna get better"* Its basically like muscle growth when you start going to the gym or doing sports, first year or two you see alot of progress but as you continue to improve you start seeing it less and less, which to someone who enjoyed seeing rapid improvement can be mentally draining, so they tend to go to a more "darker" route, whether in tf2 with cheating or steroids in the gym. *this does not however excuse cheating in any shape or form*

  • Wow, this takes me back. I used to be a bug hunter on TF2 near to the game's launch because I had experience modding source engine games from CS:S. I found a lot of these issues and pointed them out to Valve hoping they would update either the game *or* their engine, under the assumption that they would still make competitive games in Source, and god forbid they be inherited into Source 2. Instead, I equipped a bunch of cheaters with easily executed and unbannable cheats. :( Excellent deep dive though! Great video. :)

I would have felt worse if people hadn't already discovered "$nocash" placed in the game's .vmt (material) files renders objects and players through walls (an exploit that was always known on the Source engine, even before TF2, so NO clue why it was never patched), but at least that problem was correctable with the sv_pure setting. For some reason cheaters focused on making injections to bypass sv_pure instead of doing the thing that took even less effort and brainpower, which was modifying other folders. Still, a pox on my house, I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lets be honest if a Pyro pull off a successful cancel the enemy team probably wasn’t paying attention and will get punished accordingly.

One that removed the scope model from the sniper along with the black area when scoped in and another that replaced the spy decloak with the "surprise buttsecks" meme. Hell my entire game was almost unrecognizable because of the many skin mods I had from gamebanana. It didn't seem like much at the time, but that extra information was actually so OP. The spy decloak in particular because out of nowhere you'd just hear that stupid meme in the background alerting you of where the spy was.

  • Solid ass video, especially since I’m not a TF2 player, but I find the overall game and community very interesting. Also wanted to compliment the closed captions- it’s ABUNDANTLY clear you put in a lot of effort, the highlighted words and different colors and the opacity being toggled between certain shots, so no important info is blocked. I think you’re one of, if not the only, KZheadr I’ve seen fully utilize the captions like this. Small details but very impressive and respectable.

  • Wonderful video! Really love the editing, pacing, visuals, etc on this one. Although I'd like to say that the majority of community fixes don't get added because they either: -don't actually have any code, it's just a suggestion/concept -the code is not their own -the code is not well written -the code may cause regression bugs AKA, bugs caused by fixing another bug, which is rather common for TF2

While I do understand that exposure is how some of this stuff gets fixed (in theory), I can't say I'm excited to know this video will teach a lot more players how to install that Spy cloak sound exploit. It's already an incredibly hard to detect mod in the comp scene unless the player is being very obvious about it. Again, exposure is hopefully what will lead to it being fixed, I'm just dreading it being more commonplace.
