A Counter Strike 2 exploit has been created that lets you impersonate the King of Pop.
With the help of a few console commands, you can set up the exploit, though be warned. It’s pretty unsettling at times.

Counter Strike 2 gives you quite a few ways to peek at your enemies, whether it’s through crouch peeking or wide peeking. However, there’s no doubt that the Michael Jackson peek is the best one yet. It’s likely to be patched soon, in fact Valve seem pretty aware of the issue:
The official Counter Strike 2 Twitter / X account shows off a new banner designed to imitate the MJ peek, suggesting that the exploit is on their radar. It’s possible that it’s going to be patched soon, though the state that CS2 is in at the moment might suggest otherwise. See pros thoughts on CS2 not being ready for e-sports, or the possibility that cheaters will kill the game for more on that.
Seeing videos of the exploit in action can only really be described as horrifying – a slender, uncanny figure slides around a corner at an inhuman angle, before firing a single bullet through your skull.
Anyway – here’s how to set it up, courtesy of the Global Offensive subreddit.
Paste the following into a text document, and title it MJ.cfg, before saving it. Then, place it in this file location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo
