News on EA's latest Game

Discuss the facts and rumors about modding BF Bad Company 2 here.

Despite what Fredrik Liliegren (CEO of DICE from 1988 to 2000, and Studio Manager of DICE Canada from 2001 to 2006) says are “dwindling numbers” for PC users, BF3 will be released for the PC. (source)

Here’s a thought EA; instead of focusing on expansion packs for BF3, focus on providing solid modding tools and community support. As we saw with BF 1942, not only will this result in longevity of the Battlefield brand and increased sales for years after release by providing repeat game play, you’ll reduce cost by passing on development to the modding teams, taking the core game to places limited only by the community’s imagination.

You don’t need to pay a developer like Lawrence to create the modding tutorials. You don’t need to fly mod teams to your studios and shower them with gifts. Just commit to the basic need of providing the community with a solid set of tools with fewer restrictions. As you can see by our BFBC2 modding section, and the amazing past work of BF1942, BF2, and BF2142, the community is more than capable.

Here’s hoping we can continue to create mods based on top of the developer’s fantastic work…
