Re: Did we get a game editor in the download?

Yeah, I can tell you from first hand experience over the last two days trying, it's a bigger PITA than almost anyone is going to want to go through.   I tried everything and then tried some more (the 'Leviathon' workaround, other peoples ideas in bf2editors.org forums, etc) but it's just way too much to have to learn.  It's really sad that EA works this way, as this would be a mod that I would love to be making maps for.

Oh well, I guess we just keep posting the crap out of the forums with map ideas. LOL

Re: Did we get a game editor in the download?

yeah same, after playing just the sp mini mod I wanted to start making maps, but unfortunately EA and DICE are real money loving b*****s that don't give a hoot about the community that want more than plain 2142, regardless of how good it is, it is nothing compared to the awesome power of First Strike. Maybe one day in the future, it might be easier to make mods and maps for 2142, but for now we'll just have to sit on the bench awaiting maps that the pros make sad

I may lead a double life full of secrets and deception, but that's no reason to be suspicious.

Re: Did we get a game editor in the download?

The last official mention of the 2142 editor (that I can find) was from Detrux (BFeditor site admin) who reported last November (2006) that Colin (EA Community mod manager) had said that the Editor would be out soon.

In the past year, EA/DICE community involvement with the Battlefield series has slowy waned.  The last EA/DICE sponsored community event was the 2142 dogtag challenge several months ago, and the EA Battlefield websites have not been updated since.   I can't even remember when the last Battlefield newsletter came out.    Although EA has not made any official statement of the Battlfield game series, all indications are that DICE will finish up development with the 1.4 patch.   At this point, the only chance for the 2142 editor is if it was finally released with the official 1.4 patch.   But I doubt it, based on EA's lack of interest in continuing modding support.

Better yet, so to EA support and start a trouble ticket asking when the BF2142 editor will be released.

Tell them your from Wal Mart, Best Buy, etc corporate buying offices and your kid wants the editor.  Now.  Or else, we buy no more.    LOL.   That will be the only thing that gets through.
