WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    Sounds like BF2 editor is much like Cryteks Sandbox then to me.

    Thats the impression i got when testing it, too.And the way I think the textures are blended is that they are just layered ontop of eachother.

    I've been a level designer for the Battlefield series since Coincoin developed ED42 (a tool used by many before the official editor was released), and I can't believe that some of you think the editor for Battlefield 2 is "more flexible" than Hammer, Radiant, or another equivalent. First off, I've never mapped in any of the editors I've just fore-mentioned, but I can tell you, the Battlefield editors are limited to what you see. Literally. Sure, you can develop your Heightmap, Colormap, and Detailmap in Terragen, edit it in Photoshop, and re-implement it into the editor, but that's about as far as it goes.

    There are no entities. You cannot implement custom content (unless it was for the previous two installments, and this is discarding textures for terrain). There are no options to choose what type of gameplay mode you wish to choose (or create). The list goes on and on; that's how restrictive it is. I'm not trying to inflict my opinion here, but I find it amusing that a select few of you think it has endless possibilities, when in fact, it has very few possibilities.

    Which doesn't make it right.

    Of course it's the right way to go. When a level is broken down into many files, many people can work on it at once and the job of the level assembler is diminished, made much less of a bottleneck. It enables things like LOD which would be insanely more complex if the entire level was modeled at once. Modularity is the only way we can manage modern day poly budgets.

    I agree with the idea of modular design in anything, especially computer systems, but why can't we have an IDE-esque editor?
