==================================

Actually, there should be an update on the community update section of
the EA site soon. It's gone into final testing and should be out in the
next few days.

Sorry about the wait, but we wanted to make sure it's all working
correctly before releasing it.

MOD Toolkit Update
As some of you have already discovered, rumors of the BF2 MOD Toolkit (editor) being released is starting to spread. Since we all know how rumors are, I thought it would be good to fill everyone in on what’s going on.

Yesterday we reached the point where we felt the editor was finally ready to be released, but in order to be sure we hadn’t missed anything, a final round of testing was in order.

We felt the best way to do this was by giving it to some of the actual mod teams so they could put it through its paces. The problem was that if we released it to all the mod teams, it would be a nightmare trying to organize all the data we would get back, so we decided on a very limited “Closed Beta” release.

This was done in order to get the editor to the public faster. If you’re on a mod team that didn’t get the beta, don't worry, you'll get it soon. The selection was intentionally kept very small so we could stay organized and focused. Barring a major issue being discovered, the editor is now mere days from being released. Not weeks, days!

I hope everyone can hang on just a little bit longer while we do our final tests. I’m looking forward to all the great work that’s going to be done and I want to get you started as soon as possible.

There was no point in doing this. If it is to be released in a few days then the testing should be over already.

Just sounds like mod favourtism IMO :\

It's called making sure a product is ready to be shipped. Everyone is crying out for the tools, so they'll release them as soon as they feel that they're done. This is to prevent people from coming back the day after a release having major problems and then complaining about them releasing too soon. It's life. Learn it, live it.

[Nikko]

It's fine... It is what they needed to do to make sure it was a release-worthy product. I am glad they did what they did, and I hope that soon we all have the editor in good condition.

It is clear now that it is going to be released in just a couple of days... so I'd like to thank the ones responsible for creating the tools. Soon, we'll have a lot of quality mods!

Seems Dice primarily used Maya. But Rex got us some decent Max support. Cheers for the man.

I STILL think they should have had this editor ready to rock out of the gate when BF2 was released...
