[pest]

Its not cheating, but it is widely viewed as cheap or lame or choose your own adjective. It is a mod. It is not a fix the average gamer could do on his own and it cant be done from the in game menu. Asthetically, it is offensive. Tactically, it is marginal.

If you use it, you are going to get flamed, much the same as you would if you know how to use the rocket or shotgun. I'm not saying that it is right to be flamed for these, its just the way it is.

The real question you need to ask yourself is - Do I really want to be that guy?
