Actually, it is somewhat realistic. Snipers generally have two eyes and only one can look thru the scope. Most people will close the second eye (almost always the left one) when looking thru the scope. With a little practice, it is very easy to shoot with both eyes open, and generally, professional snipers do practice. the extra eye will give the shooter a bit of peripheral vision and he can see things down range not in the scopes field of view, but not magnified like the mod is.

Now - does it being somewhat realistic have anything to do with it being cheap and or a cheat? No, none what so ever. Its a game and realism/realistic has nothing to do with what is fair.
