Counter-Strike players will soon be able to take advantage of one of the biggest improvements in the game's history: Counter-Strike 2. This summer, fans of the Valve shooter will be able to start playing this sequel because it is part of a totally free update for CS:GO.

However, several content creators on Twitch have access to the beta version. This is not the case with AuronPlay, despite the fact that he mentioned wanting to check this new update of the Valve game in one of his most recent broadcasts. Despite the fact that the well-known streamer and YouTuber was anxious to try out Valve's new features, it appears that he will have to do it through a different account because he informed his viewers that he had been ‘banned for life’ for using third-party cheating software.

Valve’s anti-cheat system

When it comes to punishing its customers for using extra software to improve their gaming experience, Valve is one of the hardest firms. Not unsurprising, given the intense competition in the game and the extensive effort put into making sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. In fact, this kind of punishment is particularly prevalent in games like Valorant, League of Legends, and others that are similar to those that most closely resemble eSports.

AuronPlay claims that he used CS:GO cheats in the past, which is why he was permanently banned from using his main account. You cannot appeal to Valve's anti-cheat system (VAC), which is harsh and impervious to human error.

Counter-Strike 2 will keep the bans from CS:GO even though it's considered almost like a new game. If a user got banned in CS:GO, they won't be able to return to Counter-Strike 2 either unless the ban is lifted. It appears that the streamer will choose a fresh account as their preferred method.



 

No access to inventory

If the user has ever purchased a cosmetic in-game, in addition to being banned, that cosmetic will also be locked and the player won't be able to access their inventory. Skins cannot be transferred to another account, thus if a player has invested money in them (which might be worth several dollars in some situations), he should consider that money lost.

The streamer asserts that he has already played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on a different account, so he won't hesitate to attempt Counter-Strike 2 when he has access to it.

Users are eager to see all the modifications Valve has made to the game. The addition of a new smoke system that adjusts to the surroundings and will introduce new features to Valve's competitive shooter was one of the most notable enhancements that the firm was already able to tease through a number of teasers.
