For almost 8 months, I've tried to set the sv_cheat var to 1, but even
without punkbuster, it has never worked. I wanted it to have the
ability, with the noclip, to follow the magic nades I wanted to work on.
It is also very useful for all strating concerns, but there's no "strat"
gametype as there was in cod2 (built into PAM mod if I'm not wrong).
Does anyone know a (mini)mod that integrate some sort of strat mode ? I
did not find it in the PAM4, and found nothing the web (maybe I don't
use the right words)...
