Can you get VAC-Banned for using custom camos on guns?

[aa]

Title says it all ^^

texture hacks are hacks you will be banned. you can only modify config files that do not give you an advantage over other players. xyz games makes good camos that myself and friends have used forever i no longer use them (not for 12months at least) my son still does use them. i dont recomend taking chances.

Yet a FOV. which IS infact a cheat. like it or not it IS cheat. ANd yet its allowed. but a weapon skin isnt?

I don't see why custom skins are not allowed because they don't give an extra advantage to the user. (Except for th fact they look cool)

Yet a FOV DOES give you an edge over others who are not using it. Its a cheat

But custom skins dont ^^

In this case it has been confirmed that Infinity Ward will not ban any people that using the FoV changer mod by AgentRev on MapModNews.com and Valves VAC won't trigger a VAC ban, it will not count as "cheat" because everyone can freely use it without risking a VAC ban.

It doesn't matter, Infinity Ward don't want people to modify their game even it's just a texture or graphic mod like ENBSeries or SweetFX. They allow us to modify the config file and using a FoV changer mod by AgentRev on MapModNews.com also be aware, other FoV changer may still trigger a VAC ban IF they have extra features like Aimbot, Wallhack or kinda stuff like that included.

Wrong. they havent added this into any cod still. you have to download it just to get it. So to me its cheating. if they wanted it in the game
they woulda done it by now.

Black Ops 1 had a FoV Slider, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare can be adjusted modifing the config file, Black Ops 2 had a FoV Slider since release and Ghosts had a FoV Slider since some patches, I don't know about WaW because I didn't played it much.
Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 don't have a official FoV Slider so you have to download a FoV changer which was allowed by Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer Games and Valve so it's not official a "Cheat", it is still up to the player if he wants to use a FoV changer or not.

there needs to be a new modding community for stuff like this... custom camos and new weapons instead of aimbot god mode wall hackers. cod can even set minimum and max requirements for new fanmade weapons like setting damage, rate of fire, ads time and every aspect of a balanced weapon... not like super assault rifle doing 1,000,000 damage i'm talking like an assault rifle that does lets say 49-25 damage with a rate of fire around 750 but the look of the weapon is entirely up to the fans we could totally see some unique weapons... maybe even some joke weapons... it will change the modding community from a cheating community, ♥♥♥♥ those guys to a creative and innovative modding community designing creative weapon camos and new weapons for a game they love and enjoy

I second this, best idea I have ever seen in this thread.
