Has been mentioned in a completely offtopic way somewhere else
Imho it has many good points and I really hope there will be more support. The numbers are rather weak to say the least, for modifications on the BF engines.

yeah EA has killed the mod community. I doubt that will change in newer versions. Mods don't drive sales, so why support them after the game's sales have tapered off?

EA has made it hard to mod their titles, but they've done some work. They released an editor that's incomplete but still allows you to deal with a lot of stuff, and their weapons/vehicle code is reasonably simple to work with.

PR GAME MONITOR
Vs
EURO FORCES GAME MONITOR
i quote from that source....,
Modifications do not have the marketing budget or general clout to compete against expansion packs, this in turn results in a much smaller pool of players which are willing to download and play 3rd party modifications.
ORly?
YahRly LMFAO

Check the Special Forces expansion and then go ahead and kick yourself. Its like triple the PR population when its the low hours. And about 1500 players on weeknights.

Aren't battlefield 3 and bad company two different things? As far as I know there will not even be a bad company for the pc. But I guess we can be pretty sure PR won't move to a console game.
And about the amount of players, there always seem to be enough servers to choose from, if you ask me I'd say that more people have started playing since 0.7. Mods like PoE, wich is really fun too, just not realistic, seem to have alot more trouble than PR has with having people on their servers. All in all I think it would be good if more people played PR but it isnt necessary.
And EA, I guess they just have to be slapped in the face, that should sort things out.
(really,i think EA is evil, but for once they managed to produce something fun like bf2), aren't bad things always fun?
