@Erthazus From AusGamers:
"AG: The older Battlefield games on PC were massively popular among the mod community, but Bad Company 2 obviously didn’t offer that functionality. Will we be seeing a return to form there for Battlefield 3 with mod support?
Patrick: We haven’t released any information on those kind of details yet. In general though, games are becoming more and more complicated to build. We’re using a lot of bits and pieces from third-party middleware and stuff like that to be able to build the games we’re building today. Everyone thinks they want mod support but not that many people use it, to be honest. We do have a very avid group of people that really love the mod support.
So I’m really sorry to say, but it is a declining kind of art form. Which we see as a very, very sad thing, because we have recruited a lot of mod people to DICE actually. It’s becoming more and more complicated to build games in general so I think the mod community will shrink further in the future to be honest."
Sorry? Can't hear you.
