BC2 Map Editor?

[Tampa]

I dont like to toot my own horn, but i have always been able to put together some good maps. I searched, but was unable to find any good info about a BC2 map editor. The closest i got was :

New Patrick Bach Interview - 2/20/10

"Gamestar: What about modding? Is there going to be an editor or other mod tools?

Patrick Bach: The player can change settings on the dedicated server but there won't be modding tools included in the retail game. The reason is the same as coop mode. That is, we decided to focus on other aspects because we want to achieve the highest levels of quality possible, rather than a buggy game with average gameplay but with modding possiblities. Theoretically we could still add mod support after release, we just don't know yet. But it's out of the question for the retail version.

Gamestar: Are there going to be bots?

Patrick Bach: Not on the multiplayer maps. But in the 10 hour campaign one will be fighting against the AI of course.

Gamestar: Is Battlefield 3 going to be a further development of BC2 and is it going to use the same engine?

Patrick Bach: I won't say anything about this. We haven't talked about this in public yet."

No mapping tools at this time is all I know about BC2.

Also, did you want this in the media section? Mapping tools are technically media making tools,but....?

Re: BC2 Map Editor?

It takes time to make map/mod tools and therefor there are none as they have had their hands full with optimizing the frostbite engine for PC. There are no official plans on creating any map/mod tools as of now but who knows, maybe we will see some in the future.


Edit:
I see Crunch beat me to it :)

Re: BC2 Map Editor?

If they don't want people to mod (That is to say, modify current game files), they should release a map editor at the very least. That way Competition lovers or private clans can have their fun with the amazing custom maps that the community can and has developed.
