Modding for Battlefront?

[THE BADGER:]

Please excuse my ignorance but I have never played BF1942. What is modding in a game?

 

And what ever it is will it be used with consoles? Not just PC's.

well BF1942 is about to celebrate its 2nd anniversary and is still basically the bench mark for action first person shooters with vehicles.

 

Modding: The process of making a "modifaction" to an existing game to enhance, convert or alter the original game's experience.

 

2 famous mods of the past several years are Counter Strike and Desert Combat.

 

With the exception of Counter Strike, which was bought out by Valve and sold as a stand alone game and converted for console, I can't think of any mod which found its way onto a console.

 

Popular games will almost always have a modding community built around them.

 

Games like Half-life, UT, Quake and BF1942 have a million mods between them. Granted many are rip-offs of basic themes from other popular games & mods (how many fall into the Counter-strike wannabe club?) but occasionly there are outstanding ones.

This game WILL be moddable. With more polised expansion packs (space fights, new planet) coming out too.

yeah, i mod a little, i've done my own Galactic Conquest maps ( a mod for Battlefield 1942) but have never released any of them. Just never wanted to. Maybe when i make the perfect map...

I very sure that they will release a kit wiht the game.

What's a "modifaction"??? A faction of modders who get together and do a modification to an existing game???

modification

 

a mod is something changed to the game. Can arrange from admin commands, to small new features, to total conversion (new maps, models, code, basicly almost a new game)
