=VG= SolarFlame LAN_WROTE ... Even from a business stand point, not releasing mod tools is a major set back for their game. Bf2 was a good game, but lets be honest... The reason it's still alive today is because of the excellet mod support it had. Had BF2 not had any mod support it would have died years ago. It's a fun game, but theres only so much nade spam you can tollerate... Dice wont release mod tools for bf3? Cool, I'll go play something else when BF3 gets boring then, rather than a mod of BF3 ;) Gotta disagree with you on this Solar, there is still a ton of stock BF2 servers out there that stay packed day in and day out.yes Mods are great but I dont think that is the one thing that has kept BF2 alive all these years. Why is it still around, well because in it's own right it is a fantastic game, sure it has some flaws that players abuse but what game out there doesn't?
