Mod Support?

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

  • 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. 

  • @natemax82 Would love to see the return of a map editor, even if it would be a simplified one like Battlecraft for BF1942 and BF2. I made a lot of maps for those games.

    It would be a simplified editor without the ability to have levolution events like weather changing or tornadoes. Let us create a heightmap wich we can paint textures on and place the already included assets from the base game. Destruction is allready nerfed so we might not need to be so concerned about that.

    @ElliotLH I'd give it a 100% chance of never. The days of mods is over, and frankly I'm surprised that DICE gave us the portal logic editor which I think is the extent of the control we will have.
  • @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.
