They will include modding, they did so back then when modding was less known that today - maybe it will have less possbilities than BF2 for example, but it will be there... their "history" dictates so, so it will be a big surprise to see the opposite.

Read my previous posts about this subject, as to why modding most likely won't be possible.   I'll take this opportunity to say that they said modding would be available for BC2, but changed their tune closer to release.

Basically, the Frostbite engine does not have the scripting capability of the refractor engine used for BF2 and BF2142 that makes the game possible to create a total conversion mod like First Strike.   Now, the devs did say that the new Frostbite engine was easier to mod than the only one used for Bad Company, but there are still too many license issues with 3rd party tools used in the development of games using the Frostbite engine.  If any type of mod tools come out from the DICE, it would most likely be a sandbox type editor where you can change the spawns.  I sure would not expect anything close to the functionality of the BF2editor.

THERES NO POINT FOR DOING THAT>>>> OHH MY GGOD

Frostbite was designed on consoles, and adapted for PC use. There is likely some parts of of the engine which borrows from console technology, which means that DICE would have to pay *huge* license fees (if they'd be allowed at all) to release an editor.   If they did it, it most certainly wouldn't be free and would be coupled with a fairly large price tag - that'd stop a lot of mods dead in their tracks.

There's also the fact there isn't currently a standalone editor for Frostbite.   The BF2 editor is fantastic, you can really do amost anything within the one program for BF2.  Frostbite editor is actually a series of different programs for different tasks, and all the files are shared on a cloud based system I believe (I'm sure this was mentioned in an interview with the guy doing the patches for Frostbite, correct me if I'm wrong).  It's simply not designed for making mods, and making a new editor is probably just as big a task, if not bigger, than making a full new game.

Quite a lot of games these days don't have mod functionality.  Unfortunately, it's just the way game technology is moving.  More games are cross-platform these days, and cross-platform usually (not always) means no mod support.  Dedicated PC games are also starting to become so complex that the developers are looking for ways to make production easier for THEM instead of wasting resources on making games mod friendly.

Personally, I'm holding out hope that BF3 will be moddable, and I don't think DICE has said if it will be or not.  However, even if they do say it's possible, I wouldn't get too excited.  They said BC2 would be moddable but changed their tune when the game was closer to releasing.

1° Losting too many force points... i feel week... and kinda mad too ,, i always give others force points... Can anyone give me some?

2º i just hope DICE dont be ridiculous idiots to make bf3 non-mod .... I mean seriously.... What the hell.............. THERES NO POINT FOR DOING THAT>>>> OHH MY GGOD

Im too mad now., i bbl

Bad Company 2 is not moddable in any way, shape or form.  Although Battlefield Play4Free appears to have limited moddablility, it's running off an older engine I believe.  BF3 will likely be based on an improved version of Frostbite (BC2 Engine), and will not have much modding functionality, if anything at all.
