I really hope they release proper mapping tools, ideally with enough flexibility to create custom gamemodes. Doesn't need to be full on "modding" - a limited high-level interface like FF's lua would be ideal.
I think I read ages ago that they have no plans to do so, but for me games need the community content, including the weird stuff, to stay interesting in the longrun. So long as it's clearly labelled as community/custom and kept relatively hidden to new-comers (so they don't end up playing it by mistake and thinking that was the intended experience) I don't see much argument against it other than their time to release the tools.
