Call of Duty: Black Ops PC getting mod tools after release

It looks like the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops will be much more friendly to PC gamers than Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Developer Treyarch has already confirmed that the PC port of the upcoming first person shooter will support dedicated servers for PC multiplayer matches. Now the developer has confirmed via its message boards that it will release mod tools for the game as well.

Dedicated servers and mod tools, someone took notes...

xYLeinen5757d ago

Hehe. Looks like PC players are getting what they wanted in MW2. It's important that developers listen to their consumers imo and Treyarch is doing a great job so far.

be able to compete with the mods of valve titles

Active Reload5757d ago

There isn't a need to compete. Just play the games.

LunaticBrandon5757d ago (Edited 5757d ago )

Wow, this changes my thoughts on Black Ops. I wouldn't be getting it for PC, but the fact they are doing this means they obviously care and the game might be much better than expected.

BlackBusterCritic5757d ago

They seem to care a lot more about us PC gamers than Infinity Ward. I am actually considering buying this title now! MW2 was one of the biggest disappointments to be added to my library, but hopefully Black Ops will make up for it.

now the hope for no $15 dollar DLC

Nuclearwinter5757d ago

With mod tools, I'm sure there would be some one talented enough to make almost any map that they would charge for. So even if they do try to gouge their players with a ridiculous map pack, the community will just copy it for free.

tdrules5757d ago

HAH!
they removed these features, don't praise them for putting back what should always have been there

Kyle12125757d ago

No, Infinity Ward removed them, Treyarch never did.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS130d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex180d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos180d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle40180d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio180d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger180d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
