so with the all new product you’re soon to be releasing, will you be at least giving those that can’t stand a game based in world war one the ability to create a mod for it some that we can put our flux capacitor away and play a game set in oh i dunno? modern day war?
and if you’re concerned about how much money you’re gonna lose over releasing a mod/map editor, you really should be concerned about how many gamers you’re gonna lose releasing a product that is not nor ever will be anything of any great value to anyone other than those kids out there that live in lala land.
I also wonder what age range your marketing team did there evaluations based on? being in my mid 40’s, why in any higher powers name would I want to relive the darkest days of any period. this game you’re gonna release will have more hacks and cheats in it than anything that is current. it might take a week or a month, you can almost mark my words on this.
I mean great, new maps, yet no ability to fly oh I dunno say a transport chopper let alone an attack chopper and explore the vast new landscape other than jumping into a what? a Biplane that goes how fast exactly? 10 clicks an hour. oh goody can’t wait. heh from a company that used to back their customers to a now company that would much rather make people like myself utterly disgusted and extremely ashamed of even buying a product let alone spending all the time and energy that one has put into the product. but ya know, that karma thing is it catching up to you and at a very rapid pace might I add.
Here’s a suggestion, take it or leave it I care less now that there is a new Vietnam game coming out soon by an all different company.
if you’re gonna sell a product "Include the ability to have gamers make/edit there own maps, much like that of Desert Combat (Which in my view is what made BF’2, 3 & 4 what they are and as what most of us see as an intense game). leave this out and just like myself walking away from your all new BF’1. your company may just as well shut the doors for good now before making a horrible mistake.
Battlefield 1942 on PC and my first EA game was: Medal of honor Underground on the PS1 (that was the very first game i ever played) Never stopped playing since! why ?
Historical periods, genius. You were talking about how dark WWI was. As though the Holocaust and Hiroshima and European wars of religion were a walk in the park. The horror of WWI was in how shamelessly useless it was: a colonial war for the sake of a colonial war. At least the wars of religion concerned whether or not the relationship with God had to be mediated by a priest and WW2, in part, concerned whether it was legit or not to exterminate an entire people. WWI has none of that going for it. It is the purest nihilism—at least until the current war on terror, whose crowning achievement is a network of secret torture prisons, SkyNet bots, and undermining the stability of Iraq to create the conditions for the emergence of the group currently running amok in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East (apparently its actually name is not allowed on Battlefield boards).
You are also completely unhinged. You need to check yourself before you wreck yourself.
I’d be all for custom maps, but I would keep them for unranked or unofficial servers as there would be no control on contents. Next thing you know, there would be Assault rifles and helicopters in BF1.
If you want Vietnam, play Arma. If you want WW2, play Arma. If you want modern era, play Arma. If you want future, play Arma. Mods/custom maps? → Arma.
It has its own problems but evolving pretty quickly. Personally i like that i dont have to shoot the enemy 3 times in the head to kill him, and if i put a bomb under a tank it will not regenerate its health.
I quoted you directly in my comment. That means I am replying directly to what you said. Hence, “quote.” Dude. You really need to check yourself because you are straight up wrecking yourself. You really, really need a chill pill.
There are other games that allow you to play in the historical period you want, including in the Battlefield series. There are other games that allow you to mod and make custom maps. None of those, however, are Battlefield. You are free to play whatever game you want and, indeed, to play that game how you want. However, there is just no way DICE is going to release mapmaking and modding tools because one guy with personal problems on the internet wants them.
About your personal problems: I hope you get help. Therapy is expensive and takes a long time, but there are literally forums and Facebook groups for every conceivable combination of problems—divorced men with only one nut left, regular boring depression, and the more exotic psychotic range disorders like schizophrenia and BPD—you should look them up.
Dice shot down map editor options for consoles many years ago when I asked. Its cause of the frostbite engine. It be cool to make our own maps then upload them to a rented server or whatever. Far Cry 2 & 3 had a excellent map editor. Maybe pay to have the map editor and others need premium to play your user created maps? Maybe the map starts out unranked till it gets enough votes to pass its testing for no bugs amongst the community?
bye we dont want you here.. dice did something that they thought was a good idea. your literally the only person that didnt want an older setting literally you shouldnt judge a game by its setting if anything the setting is good because 1 no more lock ons and 2 the majority of the community wanted.. and graw the frostbite engine isnt as complex as they say it is a group of people are already making mod tools for bf3 with alot of success.
All that typing just for a NO answer
