These sound mods were created, and used by Phil, TTB, Kat, for years, and when P.G.I almost gave a damn.
Mods have been allowed at least unofficially, in M.W.O for years.
They don't effect the game performance, and it's a preference, it's the sound pack taken from MW3 if memory serves me correctly.
Some of them are are a lot better, some of them are a lot worse, than the stock sounds.
I would never chose a streamer to watch, based on them.
I rarely watch any these days.
I never watched Phil's while he was with P.G.I as he was a company man, and would always take the P.G.I line, when he lost his job I watched, and listened mre, as the team sessions were fun, I stopped watching again when he had the cheap pot noodle advert, plastered over my viewing pleasure.
TTB's I watch very rarely, he has some good insights. He some times crosses a line in his comments on other players, rather than focus on the fact he's facing these people because the match maker is poor, nd the population is so low.
Kat Baran's things I used to watch, as she proved, people can learn and can, Git gud, if they apply themselves, and had an infectious fresh attitude, and enthusiasm for the game, that most founders had lost years ago. I hope one day, her RL allows her time to stream from time to time again.
The rest were either to snarky at other players, or had a style I just can't get on with.

Competitive players mod sound to make footsteps super loud. With a good positional sound headset, it gives free seismic sensor basically as you can hear mechs behind you from 400 meters away or when someone is going to come around a corner in front. I learned this 5 years ago when I was playing with NS, and it was a tip given from better comp teams so it is what it is. Don't expect any bans.
So what your saying is all comp players cheat..
Got it ...
