Yeah, CD increased load quite a bit, but CS servers aren't too cpu
hungry in the first place, and there's only a maximum of 20 players
anyway, so it wasn't too bad. Probably not feasable for 64 player BF
servers though.

Yep. Not sure if this currently happens or not, since I haven't tried
any of the cheats that exist. I wonder if they reveal people who are all
the way on the other side of the map?
