A new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deadlock update has arrived, and its approach to anti-cheat measures is one-🅠of-a🍬-kind - the shooter will now let players choose to turn any cheater into a literal frog.

Thanks to its "anti-cheat detection system," Deadlock leaves every cheater's fate in opposing players' hands. If someone dares to cheat, opponents will be given two options - they can either instantly ban the guilty player, or they can opt for something far funnier. They can turn them into a frog for the remainder of the match. Right now, Valve says the syst♌em is just "set to conservative detection levels."

on Deadlock's unique anti-cheat measures, former 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Counter-Strike: Global Offensive developer Burton Johnsey reveals that the compa⛎ny's older iconic shooter almost featured a similar system. "Holy crap, they finally built codename 'FU Surprise Mode'?!"

He continues: "When I worked on VAC, Rich and I designed this for CS but the cheater was a chicken." That's right, CS stans - the community could've had anti-cheat chickens. While it probably won't happen in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Counter-Strike 2, Deadlock at least has frogs. They aren't the only tꦆhing to come to Valve's 🎀hero shooter with its recent , either - new hero Mirage has arrived as have various smaller changes.

Former Overwatch pro blasts Deadlock as "dogs**t" during a particularly bad game, only to have a huge change of heart later that day: "The future of gaming"
