Gotta be trolling lol

I ment just deathmatch.

please elaborate

its just boring

oh

Sounds like you just joined a boring server to me. Highly recommend playing on FastPath, its different 300 maps over and over again with real players. :)

Disregard any recommendations for FastPath.

Instead, look for a server that is handpicked, community-vetted, and ready for competitive or casual play at https://www.hl2dm.com/community. This ensures you're playing on trusted servers.

A quick search for fastpath reveals why you should not be playing there.

If you need some real proof:

• Fake player count and bots not marked as bots in the server browsers.[i.imgur.com]
  
• status command nuked, hiding the ability to see who are real players and who are not.[i.imgur.com]

That is just some of the visible part that you any player can easily see. Those are hard, cold, proven facts.

Other facts if you care to look:

1. Fake Server Listings and Redirects
   FastPath operates numerous fake servers that appear in the server browser. These servers often mimic popular server names or maps to lure players. Upon joining, players are redirected to a central FastPath server, often without their consent. This tactic misleads players and clutters the server list, making it challenging to find legitimate servers.
   
   
2. Exploitation of Steam Authentication Tickets
   When a player connects to a FastPath server, their Steam authentication ticket is harvested and retained. This allows FastPath to spoof the presence of real players across their fake servers, making them appear more populated than they are. This manipulation can persist for up to five days, even after the player has disconnected.
   
   
3. Misrepresentation of Server Data
   In addition to fake player counts and bots, FastPath servers often display additional falsified information, including ping times, and map names. This deception can mislead players into thinking they're joining active, low-latency servers, only to find themselves in sparsely populated or bot-filled environments.
   
   
4. Monetization Through Deceptive Practices
   There have been reports of FastPath banning players and then requesting payment for unbanning them. Such practices are unethical and exploit players who may have unknowingly connected to these servers.
   
   
5. Community Disruption
   The proliferation of FastPath's fake servers disrupts the HL2DM community by overshadowing genuine servers. This not only hampers the growth of authentic communities but also degrades the overall player experience.

Basically, you got 2 or 3 punks around the community pushing their deceptive servers whereas the rest of the community, all games included, recommends avoiding those servers.

long time on gaming

i love fastpath server, best community best server.

Obviously associated with the Farce path servers.

And also why do people never mention that Fastpath actually provides an experience for players too??? Just because they have a few redirect servers does not mean that its suddenly unfun or unethical to play there. Some people just want to play stock maps only, or join a server and have 20 bots to shoot at, etc. People find that fun to play too. I'm sick and tired of this anti FP ♥♥♥♥ 24/7

Dont come here then and you wont get upset with it. You will never get a pat on the back for playing there or promoting them.

Nice to see someone finally admit its all bots though...

I played on a Fastpath server, and I completely regret it due to all the things that Fastpath has done... I'm never playing on a Fastpath server ever again...

Best server in the world,

Looks right to me.

No you should play on fastpath. All these other servers which people recommend are ♥♥♥♥ and is only played by the same few people 24/7

Ignore the guy above me, that "quick search" just gives you rumors which have never been proven

OK, run through this few hundred posts then... https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/search/?q=fastpath&sort=time

All I see is Fastpath admins making some sort of broken English "jealous" claim while the post by Peter Brev you complain about... can be backed up.

There are past posts in there where Fastpath admins denied using bots on the server... to coverup the stolen Steam authentication data obviously.

Ignore that post you complain about?

No...its right on the money... LOL!
