I really don't think a hack should be approved by an admin that does not even play the game. That's like George Bush saying it's alright for china to invade japan. How is that his call? It does not effect anyone he knows. Sorry for the political analogy.
Honestly, get over it. We all know what it's capable of and the majority here agree it's just fine. As what Jally said before "It's up to the community to decide what is acceptable. There aren't set-in-stone rules for every game."
As Jcap said before:

This is funny.
Hack away.
johnny, need I remind you that kornman00, bitterbanana, rec0, Jahrain, AdmiralBacon, and a number of others here hack the blam engine regularly? And that they released a number of hacks for the game? Shall I pick through and ban them for hacking, then ask for Dennis to erase their hacks off the face of the internet because hacking is bad?
You need to open your mind and realize that hacking is more than just making cheating tools. Your ignorance makes me want to slap you repeatedly; stop using the word "hack" so liberally.
That has what to do with ANYTHING?!
InnerGoat, jcap, TheGhost, Timo, and a number of other staff members here play or have played the game and believe that the hack is beneficial (especially to Widescreen players). While Goat was in the wrong to just approve it without discussion, the fact that it's still up says that the staff doesn't mind it. It's why we have STAFF MEMBERS as opposed to STAFF MEMBER; if someone does something wrong, others will step in to repair and correct it, and if someone does something right, they have support.

I totally understand what you are saying polar and agree but most of those hacks you mentioned were for a benefit to the community, not for an advantage. And advantage was the only purpose for this hack. I understand they are out there and if someone wants a hack they can find it but i just thought hacking for advantage was not what this site was about. I have some maps i just finished and i really don't want to post them next to a hack. H2V is my bread and butter, unlike most i really like the game. Why not post antihacks like the ones mentioned above? They are made using hack methods but for another purpose.
The thing is though, this app gives little to no advantage.
Even though someone can zoom in further with it, keep in mind a number of other factors. The weapon is set to slow down turning speed to a certain amount when zoomed in. If you zoom in unscoped, or zoom in too far, moving your aim will result in you not knowing where the hell you're aiming because the camera will appear to move too fast. If you increase the FOV, you will be able to see around you more, but everything becomes distorted, and you lose your sense of depth perception.
The game, by default, uses a 70-degree FOV. The 90 degree field that everyone wants adds not even half an inch of space to the outer edges of the screen on typical monitors.
If it gives little to no advantage why do people want it? And also why is it posted here if it's worthless or a crutch? When a person shoots you from the side you are not supposed to see them. that's the advantage.

That's one of the biggest reasons why people would want this hack. Widescreen players are the ones that would be helped the most.
