Gentleman Cheating

Most Steam-Games have some kind of achievements which can be earned by doing things within games. In Team Fortress 2, you can get new weapons by earning achievements. Some of the achievements are weird and it's extremely unlikely to get them in free play. Now, if you want to earn some of these unrealistic achievements, you can use special achievement maps. On most of them, a horde of people is killing each other and bots. The servers usually have a very low respawn time and no timeout limit for the maps.

As a result of playing in these achievement maps, you end up with a Steam profile like this:


I don't consider this a real cheating, as you don't harm other people's mood. Instead, you're killing bots for a few minutes to get some of the harder achievements, e.g. for the Heavy.
