Unless I'm misunderstanding your post and the point you're making, you're suggesting that you need a multi-core CPU in order to run the extra threads, I.e. That you cannot have multiple threads co-existing on the same core. This is not true, you could run all of the threads on a single physical core if you wished.Quote:

Using MW2 as an example, some of the undesirable modifications which have been done are low gravity, infinite ammo and XP changes - All of which mess up the balance of XP and in some case allow easy stats boosting.
I've actually seen very few players on MW2 who are defiantly cheating, yet I've heard plenty of people shooting at others who are clearly not. How would you feel if you were to be very good at the game, get accused of cheating and getting votekicked or banned by some sore player ? I'm not saying that it wouldn't help some situations, but I think it would disrupt the game for some of the better players out there. Let's not forget the countless players who would get kicked or banned for "noob tubing" and "camping".
