IncGamers spoke with DICE's Gordon Van Dyke about Battlefield: Bad Company 2, learning that the military shooter sequel is being "tweaked and adjusted" to each of its three target platforms. He tells them: "On the PC, it's a PC version, which is getting that same treatment, and then also a little bit more as PC users are generally used to a different type of experience than console users are, and we recognise that and we want to make sure that we give that to the PC market and give the console market more." He also says they haven't ruled out releasing modding tools for the PC edition, but that this is "really, really complicated." He also tells them that PC beta testing is in the works, but that was publicly announced just five days ago.

Well duh! Making games is complicated too, but you obviously have overcome that obstacle. At least they didn't say no - if they see there is a big audience on the PC, they very well might release mod tools, If they understand the PC market as much as they claim, then they clearly know how releasing mod tools has the potential to grow an audience and keep a game relevant for a long time, which is definitely in their best interest.

If it is a flop, then I could see why mod tools might be considered a waste of time, though they still might lead to a bigger audience down the road.
