It's friendly. It's grey area. It's not good, but I think that unethical is much too strong a word to use in this situation. Since the game might be more fun if dave wasn't in his hidey hole sniping with near-impunity, looking at his screen to locate and possibly stop him might make the game more fun for the rest of the players -- although I suppose I would discourage such notions.
I think that screencheating itself should be discouraged, but it is not unethical.
How does it compare and contrast with wallhacking or maphacking?
As for using stronger, 'newbie' weapons: those are provided. Using the weapons that require skill is more fun for people who know the game, using newbie weapons is more fun those who don't. Someone who is really good at the game, and who uses the overly powerful weapons, however, is not fun to play with and therefore detrimental.
