Electronic Arts has finally spat out the tools needed to create multiplayer and skirmish maps in the recently-released third Command & Conquer.
Coming in the form of a 7.7MB download, the C&C Worldbuilder comes bundled with a 100-page instruction manual to help both new and experienced modders get up to scratch.
So why wasn't it bundled with the actual game then? EA explains: "We made various changes to previous versions of Worldbuilder during development of Command & Conquer 3, which needed to be documented."
"Furthermore, references to previous projects and old functionality needed to be removed both from the software and the documentation. As a result, we wished to take extra time to best prepare Worldbuilder for its intended audience"
For non-PC types Command & Conquer 3 arrives on Xbox 360 next month. More on that soon.
