Looks more like an exploit then hack ie devmode

It looks to me more like nightvision but the beams don't seem right. It might just be his video settings causing the beams to look weird. Usually if it's a hack the players will be a different color or have colored boxes around them.

Ok ill get the person to play online with me later and get screenshots that show more of the screen.

But do u all think its worth banning over???

I think it is a PB bug. (edit - except if you have more screenshots like this of that same player )
It's explained pretty well here:

Hello DoW, i am The_Candyman, b4 u guys all of a sudden hate me as a hacker, WHICH I AM NOT, i would like to tell u guys the truth. Now Raptorman has his own clan, [26th-M], i was recently in that clan, but the problem was that hes in australia, and im in USA.. when i played in his server ig ot a SKYROCKET ping... lag sux just as much as hackers do. So i told him... w/ the distance between us... i had to find a more USA based clan, makes sense dont it?? well all of a sudden when i told him that he comes out w/ this bs about me hacking.. im like.. uhh?? no.. prollie a pb bug or something (BTW it looks just like the PB Bug Steffen shows) and he suddenly tries calling me a hacker and comes here... DISRESPECTING DoW w/ these lies.. and i emailed Stuart Dunsmore when i saw that FAKE email to PB... and ALSO i kno some1 who KNOWS Stuart.. and it comes down to that being a FAKE email... and if i were hacking wouldn't i have been caught by pb software?? Raptorman even told me himself that pb is RARELY wrong.. well thank you guys for reading this (i kno u read it if your reading the bottom.. :-P), and i hope DoW has a nice future.

Candy :banger:

Candyman,
Thanks for the update..

No issues here on our servers ATM.

We don't ban for other peoples screen shots unless we know them or have known them for awhile. What 26th does on their servers is their business.

AASA screenshots are a differnt matter though..
Feel free to play on our servers, as we don't allow NVG due to we don't run maps that need them :)
if someone is using NVG on our servers then we know it's a hack / cheat.

Have a great day..
