Battlefield 3, Mod Tools, and Permabans

The "color correction fix" and subsequent unauthorized modding tools for Battlefield 3 that were released by a community member last week have been causing quite a stir lately. A PC Gamer article posted yesterday referenced a tweet (that looks to have been deleted) by a DICE designer saying "I wouldn’t use those hacks if you don’t want a permanent ban on your account. FYI warning."



As shown in the video above, the color correction mod strips out the "color gradient filter" that puts a desaturated blueish tint on everything. While DICE may have taken things a little too far in the "bleak and dreary" direction, I think the mod overcompensates a bit too much. Still, it's an interesting fix.
