What kind of mod potential do you all see this game having? I have great dreams for mods, and hope its easy for the makers to work with.

I've always wanted a mod in a game like 1942, where there are grunts running around on the ground... planes(tanks too) and choppers flying through the skies, and mechs stomping around the area. Mechs... mechwarrior games are sweet.
 
did you just say tanks flying through the sky?! :laugh:
Yeah I hope to see some good Mods, also.
 
I can see all kinds of good things coming out of this.

Pirates :x
 
Standard run of the mill WW2 mod, every games got to have one.
Various bad gundam/big mecha mods that release one alpha then get bored.

Now onto the cool ideas.

Pirate mod, think of it, pirates vs royals, the royals owning a fort on land, while the pirates come in by ship, or ship to ship fights with pirates vs privaters/navy etc etc.
Space mod, dont really need explaining... space stations, ships, etc etc.
Fantasy mod, somthing along the lines of big battles with orcs, trolls, mages and swordsman.

A STAR WARS MOD, I DEMAND IT.

I met with you halfway.
 
I want pirates, that fly in hot air baloons...you could call it air...air pirates.
 
I'd really like to see a WWII mod to see what BF1942 would be on the new engine :)

Other than that, I'd like something original. Maybe some orcs vs. humans action, or historically accurate middle-ages battle, or poor people vs. rich people (lol). If they make something futuristic, I'd really like to see something gritty, not some shiny laser bullcrap.

Warcraft would be awesome, but only if the commander was able to build, and the melee system is good.
 
Basically unless EA releases a decent SDK, which they wont do, the modding capabilities of this engine are much the same as they were with the Refractor 2 engine (i.e. Battlefield 1942) in that you'll be able to make a war game where it's PvP TvT and you'll be able to slightly modify the vehicles, charachters, animations. Theres no way the engine will be moddable on the scale that Source is cos quite frankly E.A. wanna keep the engine pretty 'exclusive' so they can make all the cash off it. They don't have the vision Valve does. I worked on a couple of BF42 mods, and trust me as far as altering the game play DC basically got as good as it gets.

But it would be possible to make buildings wouldn't it? In the same way that a bridge is repaired, so that would be easily moddable.

Make buildings in the same way a bridge is repaired?? Yes it's possible to model buildings and import them into the engine.. very easy infact. It's also possible to blow the buildings up if thats what you mean (in an objective based mission where the objective is to blow up the building to win for example).
 
Do youthink there could be constructible spawns? So the commander or an engy can "repair" a bunch of crates at some location and turn it into a spawn point? Like a WCII Barrack.

I've always wanted to experience Warcraft first-hand without going through slow, boring and stupid MMORPGS that leech time and money. I wonder how close we could get to warcraft without breaking 36 copyright rules though.

Mmm.. very possible. Especially considering that in BF2 you can spawn to a squad commander (which includes spawning into vehicles right next to him).

Creating objects plausably out of thin air has always been pretty tricky with the Bf series though because (at least with the old maps) you actually had to list every object in the level in cfg files (maybe if the spwan point had a to-die time or something...) admittedly coding isn't one of my strong points.. I vaguely remember DC having something in the kit that spawned sand bags and that was pretty funny lol.
 
One easy mod I'd like to see is of the demo map, just changing around the control points and putting them all on top of structures.

I'd put 3 on the MEC crane (bottem, middle, and very top), on on top of the contruction site by the crane (with a heli on top), on top of the hotel (with a heli), and one inside the empty pool by the hotel. Think about it, it'd be crazy. Heli's circling the crane to pick off infantry climbing...
Also make the aircraft take-able, but only by the boat hanger so people can do covert operations instead of just bombing the crap out of the top of the carrier.

and also to be able to sprint on ladders and take away the effin stamina bar. I'm sure someone could do this without the SDK, maybe a little coding or something.
