Dan - who started out as a modder for Morrowind, Skyrim, and Fallout New Vegas - has close to two decades of experience in the video game industry under his belt and his talk on Ten Principles for Good Level Design at the Game Developer's Conference 2013 is cu. Today we are talking to Dan Taylor, a professional level designer who has in the past worked for Eidos, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Rockstar (among others) on games such as Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Hitman: Sniper, or Shadow of the Tomb Raider. A hidden character customization screen was discovered in late November that tipped EA’s hand on further customization for the game.

Letting modders use any cosmetic mods in an online match opens the game up to problems like skins that make players harder to see or the like.Regardless, many believe that developer-created customization is on the way for Battlefront 2.

This TOS does say that “You may not access, copy, modify, or distribute any EA Service, Content or Entitlements unless authorized by EA or permitted by law.These mods probably lie in the category of “Content” as explained in the TOS.Perhaps EA has a chance to be the good guy here and allow user created cosmetic mods in Battlefront 2, but there are conflicting views on the whether they should be allowed or not. That question was posed on EA’s support forum, where an EA Community Manager replied to a Battlefront 2 player asking if using mods in the game would get you banned., “So long as the mods do not change how the game functions and are just for visual effect then you should be OK.” Though he does point out the when qualifying his answer.
