Treyarch Confirms Mod Tools

Prepare for plenty of custom content to be accompanying the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops, as the games developer, Treyarch, has confirmed today that the game will be opened up to modding. Though details on exactly what modding tools will be made available remains unclear, developers are planning to focus on the tools after the initial game’s release.

It's pretty amazing how Treyarch is committed to fixing every single mistake Infinity Ward made. It's like they have a checklist or something.

toaster5699d ago

That checklist is pretty damn long. The mod scene on PC is alive and well, and tons of old games still get played because of mods.

imvix5698d ago

Gotta second that, Games like starcraft, warcaft 3, CS are still doing very well.

3yr old games like Team Fortress 2, which are essentially dead on console are doing very well on PC.

Modding only adds value for money, plenty of that on the PC platform.

WildArmed5698d ago (Edited 5698d ago )

Wait..
Does that means mods 4 consoles too! (like Unreal Tournament 3 did it)
If so HELL YES!

@below

Yeah, i do hope Sony does get something out of this like that.

Mods are a big + to the game.
W/ mods like game modes and new perks (limited to the modded server that is) being available it'd keep the game alive for a long time.

Dramscus5698d ago

Pretty doubtful.
From what I hear about xbl it wouldn't fly with micro$ofts online rules for third parties.
It would work on the ps3 but as is quite apparent in the gaming world activi$ion seems to like micro$oft more than sony.
So unless sony starts adopts the common business tactic of bribery from those two companies we won't see it there.

In all seriousness though
Although it would be a good idea for sony to buck up and go over to activison, sacks of money in hand and beg for mods on the ps3.
From a purely business standpoint it would be a good idea to have that as a console exclusive feature.
I don't even like cod games but I'll admit it sells well and the console companies need the game. If one of them could get exclusive mods they would be given a large boost in console and game sales on their side.

r1sh125698d ago

@dramscus
I dont think the bribery thing is completely accurate.
More people play Call of Duty games on the xbox than the ps3.
So why not add some extra support/DLC to the console which has more players?
I agree with what you say, but there are more call of duty sales on the xbox than the ps3.
Mw2 sold significantly more on the xbox.
But it wouldnt matter, eventually hacks are gonna make it to the xbox.
It could take 1 hour,1 week or 1 month, but they will come.
THey always do

imvix5698d ago

One of the reasons Consoles may not be getting mods, Activision made alot of money from the console base selling DLCs. If modding was allowed then the DLC sale would take a hit.

WildArmed5698d ago (Edited 5698d ago )

Actually, you're right.
There point right there is just the nail in the coffin for mods on consoles.

Thanks for your intelligent input!
*bubbles to you*

@r1sh12 From what I hear about xbl it wouldn't fly with micro$ofts online rules for third parties

As copied and pasted from my last post.

Most devs say xbl is very constricted. It's why valve jumped ship to ps3, I can't remember who else said it but they have.

I always prefer IW over Treyarch, but looks like that is about to change.

DelbertGrady5698d ago

I'm going to wait until I've played the game before I decide wether Treyarch have succeeded or not. They've never one-upped IW before but it would be great if they did.

ford10015699d ago

it is very good that they are learning from IW's mistakes to make a better game, who know's MW2 could be the last we see of IW.

wicko5699d ago

I doubt that we won't see more from IW. But I do like what Treyarch has done, and to be honest I would call those mistakes Activision's mistakes, rather than IW's. I sincerely doubt they supported removing mod support from their game.

Nitrowolf25699d ago (Edited 5699d ago )

sweet
So all platforms? cause i see PCDev then i see Dev Console
it would be sweet i am hoping they go down Unreal tournament 3 route and have mod made for pc and can be exported to the console version

MMFGaming5699d ago

I'm guessing it's just for PC. Would definitely be a first for console users.

Proxy5699d ago

The term "dev console" usually refers to a command line interface you can bring up in a computer game (often using the tilde ~ key) to interact with the game in special ways.

PhantomT14125698d ago

Well console dev is the official term for the cheat code console.

ford10015699d ago

yes it is only for PC, sorry my computer must of lagged when i was clicking the buttons and clicked all of them from fury

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH454d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt455d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21455d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime454d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils454d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg455d ago (Edited 455d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg455d ago (Edited 455d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
