Guys, until EA officially drops the bomb and says "no mods", they will say "it is not yet decided", so naturally they keep the "Mods" heading there.

On the other hand, I place much more belief in that DICE guy who went on to explain in painstaking detail why modding tools for Frostbite1/2 or any other "too modern" engine are not likely to happen ever, and then inserted the legally required "I have not been informed whether there will be mod support or not for BF3".

They exist you know? I saw a leaked pic of the frostbite editor, and it was like the rest. Its probably most likely they dont want to release them because it will mean less sales from the "DLC".

I've seen it posted dozens of places.  Sure thing they have an editor, how else should their mappers make maps, it's called FrostEd last I heard, but afaik the legal issues with releasing that editor aren't up for discussion.

Here is a link where you can see it at work: http://developer.amd.com/media/gpu_assets/Andersson-Tatarchuk-FrostbiteRenderingArchitecture%28GDC07_AMD_Session%29.pdf

Riccitiello added that BF3 would be “designed to be the one that is the big leap forward; the one that is going to help a lot” in competing with CoD.

This isn't the first time I've seen someone from EA/DICE claim BF3 is gonna blow us all away, and I'm starting to get the impression that it's not just hype...

Think about it, most Battlefield fans would rather play BF2 (or one of it's mods) than BC/BC2, and I can almost guarantee that the sales figures for both games combined (incl. console sales) don't come anywhere near BF2.

EA have been getting fucking smashed by Activision in FPS sales for years, and I can't imagine them being happy with that....


They've got something up their sleeve, and we'll know soon enough whether it's a masterstroke or an abject failure.


Christ, they could just remake BF2, adding BC2's destructible environment and shiny GFX, and it'd probably sell like crazy. I know I'd fall over my self in my rush to buy it... :)

Any word on the total players amount?
I'm taking my own freedom
puttin' it in my song
singing loud and strong
proving all day long
I'm takin' my freedom
puttin' it in my stroll
I'll be hop-steppin' y'all
lettin' the joy unfold

I dunno. I don't like the implications of a game being in competition with the CoD series, as that means there will be a degree a similarity between the games.

Moreover, the free-to-play version of BF2 in development makes me more nervous. If Dice was making BF3 to be an improved version of BF2, no one would play the BF2 game they have in development.

The Free 4 play is not developed by Dice, it's a "game" made by the same guys who made the bf:
Heroes, so it uses basicly a updated version of the refractor engine what bf2142 uses what is the newer version what bf2 uses. The Free 4 play is already done project but they haven't yet released anything else than beta version of it to test how it runs and to see how much bugs there is to fix.

I hope Dice does as much work on the bf3 than they did for bf1942 and bf2, I don't want to see a updated version of bfbc2, well it is a good game but it isn't anything close to the older Battlefields.

First of all:: BFP4F isnt a free version of BF2.. but it's understandable you think that since the map in the beta is Karkand..
Second:: BF3 is not "an improved version of BF2"...it's a new game.. do you know how much has happened in the gaming world since 2005?
Last:: BF3 and BFP4F are catering towards two different markets, so need to worry about who will play the games. ;)

Because I had been on BC2 and BF3 UK EA forums hearing their bullshit.

"Tools too complicated"

Then the excuse changed to "You need super machines to run it"

And then it was "We cant share any information on it"

Then that leaked pic; what I meant its like any editor, simple to use, load objects, fx and test.

If BF3 doesnt have mod tools, then no buy for me bye bye BF and hello RO2 with mod support and a company that really deliver what they promise.

Let's bump this one to the top, someone leaked screenshots. It's not that thrilling but it shows the destruction of houses in Battlefield 3. Looks alot like Bad Company 2 but oh my, what a sexy normal map.

Battlefield series been getting worse at every release.

If BF3 doesn´t have great maps and feature real nice armies,like Russia x US war,it will be disappointing.

And if you cant mod...pull the flush.It´s crap.Like many other EA games...
