I got some good news and some bad news.

I talked to a rep at interplay, he told me mapper was eventually going to be let out to the public.

The good news is it will be free, and distributed over the net (like all th4e JK modding files).

The bad news is, they aren't even think of letting it out till, after BOS tactics has been out and needs to be helped. (they want people coming up with maps to add to the multi player value), so people will continue to play (like Lucasarts did with JK).

Interplay never has released Mapper because of the fact that as soon as Fallout 2 was finished they started working on Fallout Tactics. Now, they will only release the map editor when Fallout Tactics is starting to get old (I don't know how this is going to work if it is free).

RE: Oh god...

Well, if you've ever played JK, you know that it has an expansion called MotS (mysteries of the Sith). They relesed it because JK was a revolution in the shooter departament, (force powers, and use of a lightsaber) and they wanted people to continue to play it. (cause the more that people play it on the net, the more money they make. After a year or so, MotS got boring, and lucasarts destributed skin editors, level makers, and cutscence creators, allover the net. This keeps people playing, cause they have a new level every day to play on. There are literaly hundreds of Multiplayer levels, and lots of single player levels. Still, at least 600 people are constantly playing JK on the zone. and the zone has to pay lucastarts for the use of JK on there site. But the zone also gets payed for all the hits (and games being played)so they also want alotta people playing. so they set up tornaments and ladder matches, and clans.....

But the same thing is going to happen to fallout.

Fallout is a single player game. Publisher/Developers don't receive any revenue having people playing it for five years without get boried of it.
If Fallout was famous, it surely wasn't by its modding possibilities ;-)

Fallout is a single player game... but BOS tactics is gunna be on the net. And they have.. what like 20-30 places to battle in right?? there isn't a big story onthis one?? (I don't know) anyways,

After a while people are gunna get bored with these 30 somewhat levels. so interplay lets them make their own. People can trade them, the NMA site is bound to have most of them (with people making them, sending straight here) on the site.

Plus there will be an eruption of smaller sites with there own (far inferior) levels, and bigger sites, (pipboy2000, team X's site) with better more detailed levels, (mostly cause you guys are allways making mods, and you've probably thought of new things to add to a town).

all turns out as I predicted. They'll release it when nobody will be interested.
What dummies! If they released it now and sold it for money, it will become even more popular then Fallout2! :)
