X-Spectate Created 17 years ago2006-06-13 20:36:11 UTC by TheTikiTony

If you are a CS or TFC who uses X-spectate, a well known anti-hack, you may have been banned from VAC over the last week. If you have been banned, check the steam forums and issue a steam support ticket to valve on the matter. I have gotten my account unbanned as well as a few others. If you have not been banned for using it or if you have and get unbanned, cease using X-spectate completely at this point, especially on VAC secured servers. Thank you.

What exactly is x-spectate?

Its an "administrative wallhack" if you will. Its used by server admins to detect other hackers.

Thats weird that its a plugin but is still called a cheat. O_o

Its not a plugin, its a tool.

Psssh, no wonder

Personally I think Valve should let this one go. Its an administrative tool, not a hack. Go ahead, think that it could be used as a hack, but consider amx plugins that grant things such as godmode and tell me how much worse x-spectate is.

25% of premiership players cheat

cheating is pretty stupid...takes the fun and challenge out of playing in the first place.

Personaly i dont care if some nerd starts to cheat as long as i get to pwn them...

because in real life they are nothing more than a 11yr old old pale nerd.

prejudice ftw

There's this game I play where it takes a long time to get the best weapon and armour and you can only get it at HR 17+ (Consider this level 17). Now I've seen some retards at HR 1 using Dragon Armour and Eternal Annihiliator meaning they used AR max etc to get it...The whole point of the game is to earn it and it just ruins gameplay...Why? Well I talked to some people and it is part of the five human needs - Food and water, shelter etc...One of the needs is "Craving for attention" which means these people cheat because they demand respect and want people to wish they were god-like...Same goes for hobbies like mapping...Some people will 'cheat' to make nice looking maps that people adore...

CHEATERS ARE JUST PALE NERDS WHO LIVE IN THEIR MOMS BASEMENT!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111

FFS.

Well this went out of proportion... haha, anyway, it is unfair. I have been using X-spectate for almost 2 years now and it has never failed me, if they're wallhacking, you can tell with this, it's so easy to use an 11 year old pale faced nerd could find another hacker with it. The point is, it is really unfair that VAC would ban something that truly serves the same purpose, and you cannot modify the program without enough knowledge to build your own program, so the people who do modify it would end up hacking anyway if that is their intentions. Personally, I think this is a scam to ban people from their accounts so they have to buy everything all over again on a new account. The only proof of this I have however is the fact that they are lifting bans for it as long as they don't use the program again. They have stated time and time again that VAC bans are permanent, and you cannot get it reversed, ever. So going against this can only proove that they must be trying to "hush" people. Of course, I could be wrong and it's just a bunch of nice employees feeling sympathy for fellow admins.

Yeah, but they dont play for fun, they play so people think they are all 1337 and k3wl, because in real life they are nothing more than a 11yr old old pale nerd.

WRONG! I sometimes hack just because it really is fun to be able to knife the other team at a billion miles an hour I don't do it [completely] to annoy others, I just happen to think that its fun(allthough I cant remember the last time I hacked. Twas several weeks ago I believe). That's right, bitches, bring on the flames!

Stupid 11yr old pale nerd >.<. Ur lucky we like ur maps .
