Hail Shadow,
The thing about cheating in singleplayer is:
The only one you're betraying is - yourself. You robb yourself from the fun to play the game, because you can see, find and experience all things that are meant to be some sort of 'reward' for the player, like unique items or seeing the end-movie, immediately.
If one wants to spoil his own fun in singleplayer, there's nothing to say against it.
As soon as other players are involved, however, it's not singleplayer anymore; be it via lan, direct cable, wlan or the world wide web.
Still, if several lan players agree in using cheats, it is no cheating really. It's just their (easier, dull) way of enjoying the game (temporarily).
Spoiling other people's fun is another story.
PS: nice to meet again.
Greetings, Fragbait
