Hello all, just my humble opinion as one that have just joined into this forum:
I believe that shooting thru pickups is *cheating* if there exists at least one player that does not use this modification. Also this is *not* a bug, it is a *premeditated* source code modification to gain (even if it is minuscule) advatage over the other players. Distributing it to *pretend* all the people who play this game to adopt this mod does not make it fair and legit simply because the original game was not conceived that way *AFAIK*, it is not an original feature, maybe the developers must mark a clear line of what and what not can be modified and hope/pray they follow this rules since (as I've skimmed the source code, and this source code is the reason I've got into this game/forums) all the rendering (among other things)is done on the client.
I wouldn't consider this cheating but a bug which causes a huge disadvantage, this bug does not depends on ping, ability, agility or skill, so it cannot be compensated with that, but with a source code modification.
If there is already the solution, distribute it officially so everyone can play at (in theory) the same conditions as soon as anyone install this game, please.
Thanks, I hope to support you a little bit by simply playing this game.
