Default EA Impliment Con Yard Code

Okay, the way I see it, despite the sales of BFME so far, there is still large potential sales C&C fan crowd which didn't follow into BFME.

So, looking from EA's perspective, wouldn't it benefit them further if they supported classic C&C mods with Construction Yard code?

I know, that if they implement that, I will buy BFME straight away as it would relieve alot of coding pressure from The First Tiberian War http://tftw.cnc-source.com . In reaction to EA's unusual decision to help the mod community, I was wondering Deezire, on behalf of classic C&C mods could you request Construction Yard code to be implemented? There are two reasons why Im asking you, the first is that its impossible to find EALA's email and second is they are probably more likely to listen to you then me.

I know its a real shot in the dark, but the thought of even the remotest chance of EA helping out with this is enough for me to try.

From their perspective it wouldn't be a benefit. They would have to spend time and money coding that and very few mods would take a real advnatage of it and the mods that did wouldn't get much publicity or generate any significant sales for EA. This isn't Half-Life or Battlefield Then again they did promise to fix the asset.dat problem and add turret code...

Since they are already working on another game based on the same engine which is exactly focused on CnC it is unlikely they will implement anything for BFME in the short term unless it is required for a future expansion.

Heh, isn't it disgusting almost that communication from the fans to EA has to be translated into money in order to get the best possible chance.

Really, EA have gone wrong somewhere along the line of fan communication, in the area of not having any.... :lol:

Mods will generate very few sales for this particular title.

No chance in hell you'll get Conyards in.

Stuff like turrets, barrels, tankdraw, yes.

But no Conyard.
