A new Battlefield 3 PC mod has been released that allows tweaks to the displayed color levels has been branded as ban-worthy by gameplay designer Gustav Halling.
In a tweet, Halling warned, “(It’s) too colorful. Also, I wouldn’t use those hacks if you don’t want a permanent ban on your account. FYI warning.”
Some gamers posted in Reddit that they’ve already been banned for using the problem.
The reason for the ban-worthiness of the software is that it can give a distinct advantage during competitive play, as players can use the filters and gradients to make targets easier to find.
