Does anyone think a custom multiplayer maps feature would be viable in BF4?

I sure hope it will

Sure, it would be viable. But likely? Not at all.

5

The unfortunate truth. One can dream though…

6

Will never happen because providing tools to create content is sabotaging dlc/premium profits.

7

I wish, but no.. EA won’t give us mods, custom maps, or anything to take sales away from their DLC money. Sorry, but sad truth of modern mega gaming corporations.

8

What about if they include it as part of the premium package?

9

Haha you’re asking this from EA? pfft, sorry but nope…

I had an idea a while back that could be a win win if it were possible.

It involved DICE selling DLC as a package of “objects” for use in a map editor. So for example, instead of the End Game DLC as it is now, we’d get one or two maps, and the “objects” in the expansion (new vehicles, buildings, roads, terrains) that could be used in a map editor. This way you still have to pay for DLC, but you get a lot more bang for your buck since you can create an infinite number of maps with the objects contained.

All that said, refer to the countless posts about just how complex creating a map in Frostbite is. It’s not going to happen because modding was not high enough on their priority list when they began developing Frostbite.

If they opened the game up to modding then their DLCs would probably become worthless.

I mean who would really want to buy the same rehashed weapons/vehicles from BF3 when you could install a mod and become a pirate, or drive down interstate 82… perhaps you’d want to relive Forgotten hope. After all that is all BF4 DLC will be… ‘Back to Strike at Karkand again’ ‘Wake Island 4’ or ‘Slightly more up market highway to Jalalabad’.

It would never happen, many moons ago EA noticed the success of the Desert Combat mod and how its popularity exploded over vanilla BF1942… they grabbed the opportunity by the balls tugged hard and then released BF2… not satisfied with their BF2 DLC says they decided from then on forth all games would be locked.
