I actually was acused of cheating a couple weeks ago (I was on a server obviously run by some teenage punks). Anyway, I'm playing as a German sniper on the Berlin TOW, sitting in the building that looks out on the radar station/88 and gives you a view of the bridge exit. Well, I'm whacking Allies like the idiots they were...running straight down the roads, no evasive moves, no crouching behind debris. I had about 24 kills and one death. Suddenly I get booted, rejoin and booted again, rejoin and then pick up discussion about the server admin arguing with another player. The admin goes off about me cheating because I have NO FOG (he followed me awhile to see how I killed so many). My view from that building gave me a field of fire just to the bridge where you can see faint tank obstructions (dragons teeth). Anyway, he yells about me cheating because I can 'SEE' to far and it's not fair. My machine modest by most standards now, P4 1.8, GeF3 64mb. But my setting are all on HIGHEST.

The point is.... some people are cry babies and have no skills and that comes out when someone plunks them in the head time after time because they're too stupid to use cover, look for snipers and counter them. You can't legislate individual computer settings....unless your Trent Lott or one of his cronies and then they'll legislate everything given a chance.....

Bottom line, you live or die by your machines capabilities. If you have to give up performance for playability, then expect to die a lot more... maybe try to change the way you play the game. Be smarter, don't 'hang' out a window sniping, stay back a couple feet, use sharper angles that don't expose your body as much, shoot and crouch to reload, move a step or two in another direction before standing up again, if a guy keeps plugging you from the same area, change weapons or approaches and get him back. Too many people don't try to counter each other if someone is in a dominant positon.

Now leaving my soapbox. Btw, I've never cheated, no interest in it as I think it is the lowest form of scum...why cheat, just proves the lack of self confidence in your privates anyway........... oohh.. ... that'll rake someone the wrong way.
