This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Cool! Still a bug ridden mess full of cheaters with devs who are lazy bigots and refuse to make female characters because "women can't handle war"?

Cool! Skipping it still!

Last time I played I got curious hit up a buddy who cheated and grabbed walls. I haven't used cheats in a shooter since I was 14 I'm fucking 34 now. I've gotten kappa twice legit and had basically quit the game over being pissed about the cheaters.

And holy fuck playing around for a few weeks was absurd. I was mostly just questing, no farming or killing for the most part.

But there were so many obvious cheaters that I didn't even have issues finishing the kill quests doing a HvH only rule.

I was worried I would mistake people who are actually good for cheaters but no. Not even remotely, it's so absurdly obvious it's funny.

Honestly HvH was more fun then normal tarkov just because it actually was a level playing field. Definitely a different experience.

Tarkov REALLY is one of the most cheated in shooters there is.
