It's been not quite two weeks since Valve added some new anticheat measures and I'm updating this review to reflect that. Time will tell if this will last or if someone will figure out a way to get bots into the game under Valve's nose again. I can't change this review back to "recommended" in good conscience until the game has remained bot-free for a good while...so, for now: Have fun but stay cautious. Like the people running the FixTF2 movement, I don't suggest we push for a mass boycott unless bots return. Either way, I do encourage you to vote with your wallet. Valve has to earn back our trust, and that can't happen overnight.
