Don't give me the whole "oh it's a hack so it's bad" schpeil, either; a program that manipulates the camera ever so slightly is not in any means the same as a lagger, aimbot, wallhack, etc. Care to enlighten me on how modding a warthog to fly around the map is as bad as increasing your field of view from 70 to 90 degrees, or putting the camera just over the right shoulder?

As for it being used for cheating, how? The increased range of view doesn't help much at all (extra... what, inch around the screen?), and the position of the third person camera gives a few advantages that are easily thwarted by normal gameplay. Did you miss the part where we found it makes the game actually not painful to play for widescreen users? I agree that anyone using this to cheat is stupid, yes, because you can't cheat with it.
