So what do you call a cheat? -

Cheat = Anything that gives you an advantage over someone else playing
Ok, lets say that any wallhack, bright single colored skin, or aim bots are a given as a cheat. After that what else would be concidered a cheat? I have looked through the mods that are hosted here and I see several things that I would concider a cheat. brightly colored but somewhat historically accurate skins, bright colored non WW2 skins.
Now lets talk about crosshairs, I see hundreds of crosshair/scope mods out there, Why, well because the stock crosshairs are not as good as a nice little pinpoint and these other scopes and crosshairs that make it easier to pinpoint that shot. Not to mention the ones that take away all the black around circle or the ones that make it easier to see in the shadows.
What about sound mods, I have downloaded several sound mods, trying to find one that I like. I downloaded one that everytime you an allied sniper shoots it say" In he and whom I trust" or something like that. Its from the SPR movie, right before Jackson gets killed. I realized that this still said it even when I was axis, thus letting me know when a allied sniper was close to me. Same when you make the weapons sounds differant, In no time its very easy to tell what weapon is being fired and how close it is and what you should do to counter it.
Blood mods, OK, how many times have you been shot or shot someone with the rifle and seen that poof of blood and now that the health is down its time to break out the pistol and finish them off. With out the blood mods its not nearly as easy to tell when you have shot someone.
I'm not saying that i don't use these things, for me I use, clowncrosshair, drbonds scopes, fubah SPR sounds, bodypoof, and paintball (not that this helps with anything just think its funny seeing all the missed shots everywhere). Why do I use these, because I like them more then the stock ones and I think they help me play better. I don't have any skins because I prefer to play with out forced skins and I have all the stock one memorized so its easier to kill quicker when you don't have dozens of other posibilites running around. ( although it seems all I ever see is manon, afrika private) and yes I know why a lot of people use those.
Now what about the game settings, I personally have a real pos computer, to even keep my FPS around 40 I must have all the video settings set as low as they can go. But guess what when I do that some of the players models bleed through the walls when they stand to close to them( not always just in a couple of places). So I can see where there standing. So what am I suppose to do about that? If I turn my setting up to where I can't see them then my FPS go to 20-30, which means I have no chance in a close battle when the firing makes my fps go even lower.
So since I use those mods does that make me a cheater? Truthfully I don't know, I know I enjoy the game more with these mods in and I think they make me play better. Would I get booted from your server for this? I play on a lot of the better servers, i'm on the 84th. OSS, and others a lot, I prefer sniper/rifle only servers.
p.s. I would play on the 84th more if they would make one of them team instead of most of the time being Free For All
