Poor Electronic Arts. They?ve already had a little bit of a problem with their fantastically popular Battlefield 2 PC game. Now the modding community has screwed them, and if you can?t trust modders who can you trust?

#61821 Posted on: 07/31/2005 03:12 AM Poor EA? I doubt EA really cares, the main problem for them is that people might not know it's a leaked beta version and want support from them for it. Other than that I can't see EA giving two bits about it, judging by their statements I'd say that was the case. It's still good of EA to spend as much resources on the tools as they have, it really adds replayability to their product... maybe even at the expense of their own expansions... anyway, gj EA.

#61823 Posted on: 07/31/2005 12:56 PM They probably meant the editor to be released after the expansion pack got released. So that nobody would run of to an other mods instead of buying the expansion.

#61825 Posted on: 07/31/2005 03:34 PM Well they have to get the game right first before they start worrying about expansions. What a joke the game itself is still practically BETA and they are releasing an expansion. Well only time will tell we have until the end of AUGUST to see if they fix the 140 items they need to and probably then some. Then after that is released with the way they test things will create 200 more problems... LOL. Typical EA...

#61826 Posted on: 07/31/2005 04:23 PM Considering that most of the mods for BF1942 out there was created using no tools at all (or community-made tools), it probably does not matter. EA, from what I have understood, has been very generous towards the mod teams out there. Inviting them to their headquaters before the games release to come and check the mod-tools out etc. Anyway... first thing for a successful expansion is to have enough people actually own the game. Without that it's doomed to fail, so I doubt EA would hold back.
