Been regularly playing for some years now and always encountered the occasional cheater, aim hacker, teamer and the likes. Although it’s never nice it was bearable.
This season is different: Getting beamed in three clean headshots from 80 metres away with a green ar while moving behind cover… Watching such players after elimination constantly hitting headshots over 50 metres while running and jumping wildly… Getting hit in bushes and trees without line of sight… And that happens nearly every fucking match. Reporting is pointless, epic is not even trying to contain the problem. Selling skins is more profitable, of course it is.
It’s so annoying when you just want to run around and have some shoot outs, and then some people who barely know how to navigate the map eliminate you out of the corner of their eyes.
If anyone knows a nice and relaxing shooter that runs on Switch 2 please let me know. Thanks.
That’s why a game should have Community servers, at least that could help a bit if the company fails to do it. TF2 has community servers and was the savior of the game for many (I didn’t got into that). I didn’t play Red Dead, so cannot speak from personal experience here.
There was a time when TF2 was completely abandoned by Valve, and especially as some source code of the game leaked, the cheaters exploded on official servers. It’s similar to what you describe with RDO. Even blatant spinbots with 100% accuracy of sniper from across one map side to the other… imagine your entire enemy team re snipers sitting at one corner of the map and constantly jump and spin until something hits their way on the other side of the map and gives you 100% headshot instant death. Kick one out, another of them fill the match automatically. Nowadays its better controlled and not that of an issue anymore, when I believe other players.
