will ID be ID like today if they didn't support modding for Doom and DoomII?
I think CM could support at least adding new units. and for cheating you could simply choose between original CM and modded CM at your own risk.
i understand BF don't want to allow modding. it's a little old fashion way to make videogames but maybe you would give a try on an old product?
maybe when CMx2 WW2 will be released you could add support to just add units (3D, art, sounds and spec) to see how the comunity modding will change the old CM and maybe raise the sells?
and arguments about tons of mods around and dead links. it's true but you don't have to install mods. if you don't want you just don't do it
