Seriously, it's ridiculous. Last week the average number of kills for people was like 400-700, with most people being around level 50-60.Now it seems that everyone is level 100, has 2k+ kills, the 5k-damage-in-a-single-game badge, the 20-kills-in-a-game badge and every other "pro" badge that would require amazing skills to achieve. Then you spectate these alleged pro players, and find out that 90% of the time they play like dumb donkeys who can't hit the broad side of a barn. There's something SO wrong about that. Especially because it happened so quickly and so suddenly.I think it's quite clear that most of them are hacking their stats, probably to avoid being instantly identified as cheaters and (possibly) dodging reports. Like if they look like legit pros, people will think they're good when they got killed by them. Or they just want to boost their egos with prizes they never earned.Whatever the case, it's seriously laughable - especially since the game doubled its player base in less than 2 weeks. Statistics-wise it should be much easier to meet low-level or mid-level players than this alleged army of level 100 - best badge in the game pro players.Note: I'm not a newbie, nor a 15 years old whiner. I'm an old gamer who played FPS since the early 2000s - last one of which was Rust with over 1,5k hours on my back. I can tell the difference between a high-IQ crack shot pro, and a teenage hacker using ESP and aimbotting his way to championship, saw a trillion of them.

I'm probably a similar player to yourself and share the same view of cheating. It does seem as though cheating has become normal. I try to stay positive although it can be a challenge.Why there isn't a blanket crackdown on cheating I don't know. It seems like the world changed in it's attitude to wrongdoing. It used to be "don't do something that is wrong" now it's "do it if you can get away with it".The last good times for me were in BF2 and up until the end of the first year in BF3. That was when PunkBuster seemed to be bypassed by some kind of injected hack. I don't know if that's true or not.Is cheating in games these days going unchecked, or are we being irrational?If it is going unchecked why is that?Is it because of the attitudes of business in this social and political environment? Are the anti-cheats on a leash because of concerns about their legality or a fear of bad PR?Or is it that the hackers cannot be caught because their hacking is too difficult to detect, or are there too many hackers to cope with? Are they too persistent and too many?Are they impossible to reach because of international borders?Why do people keep cheating and why don't they give a damn about other players?Every day I hope cheating will be under control but it just goes on, and on and on.

"800 games on xb i have only had a handful of times i thought someone may have been cheating.""90+hours on PC, level 71, and I think I only ever came across 1 cheater (EVER! And event then we weren't 100% sure..)."It's so sad. Literally, every cheater says the same. If anyone wants to find out about it, I recommend the CS: GO official forum. A game that has become a cheater training ground. It is clean HvH now.Imagine that cheats are repeating the same clichés and previously prepared issues on the forum boredom. Including such as those cited above.If someone speaks in this way, he or she is a noob and can not recognize a cheater, or he is one of them. This second eventuality is more likely to take into account the fact that nowadays cheating is already a disease of civilization. Especially in free games full of children who have no rules of fair competition for anything.It is not better on consoles. Today, cheating is even easier than turning on the console.Any child can easily download and install ready-made cheats. These are no longer shreds of virus-containing codes that must be properly configured. These are ready-made programs that have their own launchers, creator support, and sometimes even are already installed on separate media.Unfortunately, honest players are in the minority today. Especially that they are not even allowed to organize and brand the cheaters, because everywhere is prohibited to publish their nicks, links to profiles or even films presenting their heinous deeds.

somebody up there start a PC vs console WAR.

Isn't that just a side effect of cheating a lot that you'd get all those badges?

Don't go there dude...just don't.

As for your Console VS PC comment:
Firstly:
You can keep your aim assist, thanks.
Secondly:
I would never trade playing at 144Hz with my killer rig VS a Console.
And finally:
Nor would I ever consider changing my Razer Maurauder SC2 Edition Keyboard & R.A.T. 9 Gaming Mouse over a controller...
The cheating is region specific...as the regions I play in, cheaters are non-existant.

No aim assist on console for apex, thanks. He was simply pointing out the PC curse that pretty much doesn't exist at all on console.
