The difference is, that FB2 is designed for server environments and recompiling. Not to mention the completely new systems of GI and Destruction that would need a ton of documentation, that should, frankly be spent on making a new game. DICE aren't in the business of leasing their engine like Crytek or Epic so I can see why they wouldn't bother making simple engine that are suited to a wide variety of genres. More importantly you should read the reasons behind the choice, rather than just thinking BS BS BS.[QUOTE="ocstew"][QUOTE="cobrax55"]
oh **** there has yet to be anything to advanced for mod makers to grasp, if developers can use it, somebody among 1000's of modders will figure it out. The idea that its to complicated for Mod teams when people have figured out how to use the Source SDK (which is unbelieavably unituitive) is just a absurd.
and all other Mod tools require middleware as well, theres nothing unique about that.

I have, and its very obviously complete Billsh*t, for starters, none of Dice's SDK's have ever come with documentation of any kind as far as im aware either (lets be honest, DICE's community support is pretty terrible). Documentation is nice, but can be done without. The idea that an engine is to "difficult" for modders is absurd...They went so far beyond anything Dice did with their previous engine, despite absolutly no support on Dice's part.
And the fact that their not licening their engine is irrelevent.
DICE will have to release source code for their tools to work. I hope you understand why they don't want to do that. Not to mention PC gamers shouldn't instantly cry greedy and DLC, when a game doesn't get an SDK. It's an added bonus not something that should be expected.
