Question: could Dice give us the keys to the kingdom give us mod support and let us fix it ourselves for console and PC snobs……..sorry had to poke fun at PC

Thems fightin words!
Lol seriously tho, I doubt they would do something like that.
It's a shame that we can't at least get file editing modding. Originally I thought maybe that was where Portal was headed. So many bugs and balance issues I see could be easily fixed with a few edits.
Some stuff though like the FXM33 randomly taking like 10 seconds to lock onto a target are things that need to be adjusted at a deeper level though.
Don't get me wrong, Portal is great and allows for a lot of cool game parameter/logic adjustments but it's criminal that there's so much potential untapped.
@natemax82The only way that they would give control over it is if they are sacrificing the microtransaction machine to save EA's rep. But seeing that EA aren't concerned about their public image (look at their child gambling mechanics for reference), they are definitely not going to do that. It would be slightly embarrassing when mods fix your game in under a month for that "AAA" studio/publisher.

Yeah I couldn't see it happening for security reasons if nothing else @ragnarok013

@ElliotLH yeah security reasons is a big one. I remember when the community made maps back in Quake 2 we'd simply allow the client to download them automatically. Thinking back that was a security nightmare merely trusting that the creator didn't do something nefarious.
