Battlefield 3

DICE: "We're considering mod tools"

It’s been disappointing for PC game modders that Battlefield 3 won’t ship with mod tools, because the new Frostbite 2.0 engine is simply too complex for modders to use, not to mention there are tricky licensing issues with third party software used in Frostbite.

But according to DICE’s general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson, DICE has heard the community and their wishes, and said in recent interview with AusGamers,

“We have heard the community very loud and clear on this topic — that they want mod tools. We are considering it, back in the studio. The game won’t ship with mod tools, but we have heard it. I’m not saying that we’re going to do it, I’m saying that we are thinking about it.”

Troedsson also said that Battlefield 3 is “the biggest thing we’ve ever done”, and that they simply cannot do everything and add all features gamers demand. As he put it, “we have to select what it is we’re going to spend our focus on”.

Battlefield 2 didn’t ship with mod tools at launch either, the mod tools were released a few months after the game sipped. The tools allowed popular mods to emerge, mods like Point of Existence and Project Reality. Since then, mod support has been limited in Battlefield games.

From www.enterbf3.com:

A new interview has surfaced that brings along with it some interesting information. The interviewee is Kevin O'Leary, EA's product manager. Kevin O'Leary helped us out last month as well. The interview discusses Battlefield 3's unmatched graphics, physics, sound, and destruction thanks to the Frostbite 2.0 engine. Battlefield 3 is stated to have five game modes with TDM being the new one. Most interesting is the statement that Battlefield 3's maps are playable in all modes. So a rush mode map can also be found in conquest and TDM. It will be interesting to see the Back To Karkand maps adapted to rush and TDM game modes. No beta information is revealed. Also noted is that Battlefield 3 is the "do it all" game. Meaning that you can play a run and gun match, or be tactful and guide your squad to a match victory, or bring rain from the skys as a helicopter pilot. You can view the Battlefield 3 interview below.
