It might depend on the game, but as the parent suggested, the cheat could just avoid 'line-of-sight' with the barrels of the opponents guns, though those movements might become more obviously mechanical to other players.

The only 'games' I'm aware of that do are the ArmA series (the first Operation Flashpoint included). As to whether or not they're strictly games (or a set of missions and set pieces set within a military simulator) is another question.
