It would be very easy to do actually as they really do not have to do
any new programming, only they have to tweak some variables. ultRA tries
to address this as best as possible.  If you want to read about ultRA go
to http://www.infinet.com/~jenny/ultra.html and read ultra14.txt for the
full description.  ultRA of course is free and always will be. 
Counterstrike is not and as I understand it, the new units will not be
available in multiplayer.
