Modding & mapping tools announced for Black Ops 3, coming in 2016

4.4

The PC community has a lot to look forward to in the upcoming Black Ops 3.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 developer Treyarch has revealed that it’s working on adding mod support for the game.

The announcement made earlier confirmed that not only will the tool set allow for modding, but for the first time in a long while, mapping tools will also be available.

According to Treyarch, the studio’s plan is to allow the community to create maps and modes as well as run their own unranked dedicated servers. This will be possible by making unranked server files available, not to mention bringing a server browser specifically for users to find all modded servers running custom maps.

A closed alpha is currently slated for a March, 2016 release, with an open beta to follow after. Treyarch promised timely updates about the project’s progress on the blog.

Black Ops 3 is out November 6.

Now this sounds pretty cool, allowing community to create own maps and modes is a good thing

Now that it's confirmed that there will be a server browser I'm definitely wanting to buy it. Even if it is unranked it'll still be awesome and the mod tools are plus. I'm sure there will be some awesome custom maps made.

I thought BO3 was going to be just another CoD, turns out its going to be great. Hopefully it doesnt disappoint

This will be great. The first time since World at War that we get to see cod that supports map creation. With all the next gen updates this will allow for some crazy zombie maps.

It's been a while but it's about time we got mapping tools and modding support for a CoD.
