ok so dice im not asking for much but i want to be able to build my own maps with existing game assets this would create a whole new community dedicated to making maps, dice you can still charge for premium and charge for your own maps, but please allow for the community to make their own as well.. look at bf2 alot of people made whole new games from your modding tools but thats not what im looking at i dont care if we have big modding tools it would be nice if you guys could give us mod tools. but you guys can at least give us the map making tools. i know my thoughts are all jumbled together but its always been a dream of mine to make fun maps. and guys if you do this the community will stay longer and potentially not get bored of your game after all the dlcs have been released. this will ensure that you can keep players engaged until your next title so in my opinion its a win win. i think this is highly unlikely but hell you guys could charge like 5 dollars for this map making tool and im sure people will buy it. i know i would. p.s. this tool would also allow you to use preset weather effects and time of day.
they will do it if the community makes enough noise.. they said they didnt include mod support in bf3 because “the modding community is on a declining trend” i mean if they dont add mod support the community will do it them selves like they did for bf3..
Although I would love to make maps just as much as you it will probably not hapen, because the people who want to make maps is just a fraction of the playerbase and EA is too afraid the player made maps will be far more popular than their own DLC maps.
It might work if the map editor will be part of the last DLC or if each DLC added new content to the map editor so people will want to buy every DLC.
i like your idea of adding new features / content to the map editor each DLC. although that means they would have a simple in-game map editor which wouldnt allow bigger maps to be created e.g: other modes being put into the maps. because we all know battlefield wouldnt allow the creation of other modes because they already have their modes.
what i meant was as the last dlc to include the map editor, all though im pissed that they are doing another cash grab with this game battle packs on top of the expensive dlcs. i dont understand why they didnt give free dlc to battlefield when they gave it to need for speed.. but anyways i knoow it may not happen but if dice doesnt do it after bf1s life cycle the community will just like the community did with bf3. actually the mod support tools are still a work in progress for bf3. i will be pissed if they take the mod support mod for bf3 off of the planet im not naming the name of this mod as i dont want to draw more attention to it then it already has.
i always wanted a map editor for world war game style ! so we can make it and publish it so we can earn money but also that dice/ea gets a cut from it! So they earn money without doing anything. In ea ears this will make a happy sound !
Don’t get your hopes up.

I’m not sure how allowing gamers to create custom maps would work for us console gamers.
A gamer would have to submit her map to DICE/MSFT/Sony for approval before the map could be put into a map playlist so that all gamers could access it.
no there isnt official mod editing tools for bf3 there is a mod that wants to bring in mod support for bf3 and they say they want to support user generated content. project has been in works for a few years now.
