Mods & Online play?

Are any mods allowed to be used online?

Or are they all for offline play only?

So while many of you may enjoy playing around with game content, please do so offline. We do not yet have the user interface for switching between modified and stock files, nor do we have the server GUI to allow/disallow custom content so that makes things a little more difficult for the players. We’re probably going to ignore any infractions before today, but we’ll become more aggressive in the coming days. Please be warned. There will be a wide-scale account ban once we identify a large number of culprits. Everyone will be banned simultaneously, with no prior warning or chance for redemption. If you do not wish to be made an example of, please do not use ANY modified files in any online matches.

After all, cracking the game is against the EULA and theoretically we could ban everyone who has ever tried any mod, but that of course would serve no purpose. Once again, we do not mind you fiddling with your own game on your own machine, as long as you don’t use that ability to try to give yourself an unfair advantage online.[COLOR=DarkRed]

Thanks lads,

So official line 'Do not use them online'

But some are using them online and have not been banned.

Anyone know what a ban would entail? Just CloD or your whole steam account? (just for my curiosity)

its carefully worded just enough to put you off modding for the time being. I have no doubt Luthier has never even given this aspect a second thought , his first thought is development.

IM positive i can remember another comment regards visual only changes and there will not be problems with that. i can not find that comment though.

a review process. if your reviewed as using scenery mods, then you have no issues. start taking advantage via weapons and or FM in the online arena and you should expect problems.

heey Ali thanks for your work on the terrain
it's going to be an excellent mod :grin:
what about the soundmods online

well i deem sound mods like graphic mods, its just a cosmetic change. the real problem with mods is people using the concept to boost there abilities online into the realm of taking advantage by unfair means.

Can a ban in one game get you banned from all other games on steam?
