Valve Bans LMAOBOX

[Demon_Skeith]

The Team Fortress 2 cheat program called LMAOBOX, which offered: “Customizable Aimbot features, including Invisible Aimbot and Projectile prediction for Bow, Rocket Launcher and others, specific Sniper options for instant headshots or legit gameplay, Auto-Airblast feature for Pyro with ping compensation and more.” for over five years, went undetected by Valve’s anti-cheat software.

In a update Valve has finally added it to their system resulting in over 3,000 bans.

Wow it took them 5 years to find out about a particular type of cheating software?

Yeah, that's pretty slow, I must say. Did someone try and keep this software even more secret than usual?

Its possible or the team didn't have time to deal with it or the coding was hard to deal with.

Also it's difficult to be absolutely sure that a program did it and not a skilled gamer.

Took them kind of long, but that won't stop cheat coders, they normally are very aware and know how to avoid the anti-cheat system. But either way it is good that they at least took some action, because I absolutely detest cheaters in online games.
