Official reply from Lawrence Brown, responsible for the BF2 editor

They probably should have, but then we would have waited until about right now to even play retail BF2. Which is better? I don't know. All I know is that I am glad I now know what must be changed.

Don't think it's all done. It's there, but even EA needs how to use it. And Lawrence although a nice chap, must bring us alot of tuts, he just started. Don't expect miracles when you first get it.

well had the tools come out with the game modders would probably have gone nutz :p especialy since EA has spend weeks making them userfeindly :p

im just glad that i wont have to use the same tools as those pore fellas at EA and dice :p

Just curious as to why there is a 'game mode' option in the server browser when there is only one mode available in BF2 (we need CTF and objective....PLEASE!). The only reason I can think of is for modders.
It's kind of sad because DICE realizes that people want to play more than just conquest but aren't willing to include other modes.

It's been a matter of days, where's my editor!?

[SHookPR]

i think the press release is sounding true...making no difference to me because I am going to holidays without a laptop

[ALFfx]

you have a hefty laptop

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

And I wish I was a trust fund baby... I'm glad they are taking the time to release it with as few bugs as possible. Feels more to me that they care.
