The cheating got fairly bad in CoD. Some kind of fire & forget cheat 
like in the film Gamer.  Cheating wasn't an issue in Raven Shield, but 
there were players who would team kill sometimes. Also once I got booted 
from a Raven shield server for having the pseudonym "Annakin Hitler".

I was once accused of cheating in Raven Shield and it bothered me.  It 
was just a hell of a shot, yet the other player wouldn't respect that.
