Formerly, the seed for weapon spread was calculated as seed=MD5_PseudoRandom(cmdnum). Not blocking cmdnum=0 causes a static seed to be easily accessible. Meaning, cheats wouldn't need to brute force this seed by skipping future cmdnums. IIRC, cmdnum=0 is useless and typically caused by clients typing "disconnect" in console.
