Realiostically how it actually used to wokr is that just about all games could be modded, so that you got free maps from the actual community. SOmetimes there would be a developer release, but not always. The consoles are closed and only half a PC so they don't have that. In fact companies don't want that on the consoles because then they CAN charge you for shit that the community can crap out in 7 days' work for free. Battlefield 2 had mod tools available, BC2 didn't due to some shit reason DICE said. I am wondering if BF3 will have mods or not now.

No mod tools upon release. 
DICE themselves said that, something about Frostbite 2 being too complex.

that is an cover up excuse. EA would of said No mod kits, because that impacts DLC revenue.
Too complex isn't an excuse, an modder are Uni students and hobbist that learn and learn game engines and how to do it, even if it was too hard they will learn it over time. But really EA could of had mod kits and DLC wouldn't of been affected because people would buy the DLC becuase they are 1. Would be high quality, 2. on public servers 3. always have players to play on them.

But the DLC was free in the first place, I don't see what revenue mods would impact :P

BF Vetinam is Paid DLC. In very mod like fashion as well, anyways BF3 will have paid DLC.
