Mod Tools and Dev Console CONFRIMED!!

[Immortal_Joker]

This is the news Hardcore PC gamers have been waiting and now your wish has finally been granted!:

From pcdev himself on the Call of Duty Black Ops Official Forums:

We plan to open the game up for modding sometime post-launch. We do not know yet to what extent you will be able to mod the game. There are some purely technical issues related to engine and internal tool enhancements that do not easily fit the modtools paradigm. We have looked at it close enough to see that it is non-trivial and we will have to pick it up again post-launch. Right now we are completely focused on finishing the game.

And, dev console: confirmed.

Nice.

All I can say really, I'm still not convinced regarding the actual game play. :wee:

I think its going to be like MW2 would have been if they released the files/tools for PC.

My personal feelings on it. Could be way wrong. I also think MW2 was a very fun game to play, myself. Minus lag and cheating of course.

Well Treyarch definitely learned from IW's ********. They are definitely moving in the RIGHT direction. Sadly idk if the multiplayer will be good. MW2 multiplayer sucked hard.

Hmm, looks somewhat promising... hopefully the gameplay will be cool.

Yes but imo MW2 multiplayer sucked hard because it was a complete festival of cheats and spam in every direction, all of this due to a lack of server control. I think if BO's multiplayer is like MW2's multiplayer it will be much better simply because you can turn all the crap stuff off and enjoy a good game.

I'm still not buying a game where skill is less involved. AKA killstreak perks that ruin it for me. Is it just me or would this game be so much better without them. Take a look at the where they started with their first Call of Duty and CoD2.

Now take a look at CoD4.

People have to understand that this game is going to have gameplay like MW2. MW2 has sold over 20 million copies. CoD2 sold about 2 million. Which game do you think they will try to make Black Ops most like?

I understand, but I wasn't referring to sales, just gameplay. If you're talking about revenue, then you also have to consider that CoD was still new and only for PC back when CoD first came out. Then came out CoD3 and that was their worst game up to then. The game sold because it was console exclusive. The game was nowhere near the quality that CoD 1 and 2 provided. I spent more time on CoD 1 than I did with CoD 4. Don't get me wrong, CoD 4 was a really good game. I'm just comparing the two.

When I said what I said, I was trying to make a broader point to everyone who is disappointed that the game is similar to MW2, not specifically to you. Your post was a way for me to say that.

But responding to your post, Activision doesn't see success in the gameplay, but in the revenue. I also agree with you, and I think CoD and CoD2 were the two best games of the series, but in Activision's eyes, the best game is MW2.

I agree with that, but dedicated servers, and this news on top of that should hopefully result in being able to control gameplay mechanics like that, at least on certain servers. Which happend both in Call of duty 4 and 5 in more then a few servers I played on. I never liked call of duty 4 stock gameplay and maps, that didn't stop me from playing the game untill 5 came out thanks to modded servers. Modern warfare 2 was different since no one could alter the game play normally, so I actually didn't buy it, along with some of my friends.

Now we have choice again from what I sounds like, I my self am buying this game, firstly because of zombie mode, which while not offically annouced is pretty much a given, even if it wasn't in there the 4 player co-op from Call of duty 5 back again, makes it worth it . Dedicated servers was also a BIG step in making me interested again in the multiplayer. I'm hoping they bring back lean, but I don't think that's happened, maybe it can be modded back but I'm not getting my hopes up for that one, I've gotten every thing but that back into the Call of duty I like.

Let me put it like this:

Call of duty MW2
Max 12 players
2 player co-op
P2P hosting
no lean
no modding

Call of duty: black ops
Max 32 I think, probably more then 12 at least
4-player co-op, but not totally confirmed on that number, but thats what it was in COD5, when treyarch INTORDUCED co-op to the series (seriously people need to give them more credit for that, sorry I'm just a Co-op whore and they don't get credited for that feature enough in my eyes)
Dedicated servers
modding
Probably Zombie mode again.
and New to the series replays!!!!!

Still no lean, almost perfect though.
