kat, very interesting and keep us updated please with anything related to this new type of witch hunt.

Very interesting... so http://www.urbanterror.info is in danger ;) ... and yea mods vs. paid DLC is really becoming an issue. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are games that are closed and forbid modding in the T&C (at least for BFBC2 I'm sure). If you want to create custom maps that get actually played you need to create them either for Modern Warfare, Counter Strike Source, Call of Duty 2 or Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. (source: rank of games in Xfire - http://www.xfire.com/games/#). Mods are quite successful in Battlefield 2 IMHO.

pazur, good point about the urbanterror game and interesting to hear of the increasing restrictions put on the mod communities.

my new team is designing our hopefully oneday commercial game to be built around a mod and fan fiction/art community of which we don't intend to charge for dlc whether it be from us or from the community. we also intend to charge a fair price (what ever that may be at the time) for our game, similar to the business model being used by the blacklight: tango down devs, here's a review from cnet.com of their game:

Didn't Urban Terror get into some trouble a few years back over some 'terrorist' modification? I can't remember the details other than I think someone created a (sub)mod whereby you were on the terrorists 'team' and went around creating havock. Seem to recall it caused quite a fuss and was removed, taken down or something or other...

interesting and imagine if that was also applied to nazis in ww2 games and that players could only ever play on the side of the 'good guys'
