Why then, if the previous games in the series supported it, and if it's proving successful for other games (and past BF installments), does DICE and Electronic Arts not support modding for Battlefield 3, a game that represents the company biggest launch ever? For Battlefield, fans hoped that a prank about dinosaurs in the game could become a reality and with mods, they can. Treyarch struck cold in taking its Call of Duty games a little less seriously with the inclusion of zombie mode. Modding allows players to create and play the game the developer cannot or will not make, whether it be moving the gameplay to a different time period, adding or changing weapons/vehicles, or simply building in missing features. That mod - which turned the WWII shooter into one set in present day - was played nearly as much as the actual game, and DICE acquired the indie studio to help build Battlefield 2, a game that also hosted its fair share of mod support where users added missing features from the game, game engine improvements and even total conversions. In the past, several of DICE's Battlefield games shared similar success stories, dating back to the origins of the franchise with Battlefield 1942 where a group of friends (who formed Trauma Studios) built the infamous Desert Combat mod (video above, skip to 1:40) for the game. The ability for the community to build mods extended the life of ARMA 2 just as it does continuously for the PC versions of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Minecraft.įor PC players of Battlefield 3, no such luck. Httpv://Over the last several weeks, we've spent a considerable amount of time sharing the exciting news surrounding a user-made mod for ARMA 2 called DayZ which with over a million players, is now on its way to becoming a standalone game for developer Bohemia Interactive and the mod's creator.
