While PC modders were completely locked out of Modern Warfare 2, Treyarch?s confirmed modding tools will be available for Black Ops, no doubt to the delight of many.

?We plan to open the game up for modding sometime post-launch,? said a Treyarch staffer on the game?s forum.

?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.?

The news will be welcomed in the PC community, which went flat-out nuts when Infinity Ward decided the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 wouldn?t include dedicated servers or modding.

Black Ops releases on November 9 for PC, 360 and PS3.

Nice, it's what IW should have released laste year! Dedicated servers, mod support... maybe I'll have to break my promise on swearing off the CoD franchise.

A demo will surely seal the deal for me here, anyone heard of one coming out?

CoD games don't do demos.

Sure they do. Even MW2 had one, only it came out way after the games release (and not for the PC). World at War had a beta, which may as well have been a demo.

As others have noted, a beta would also fit that statement. But you sure do so seem salty, someone pee in your cornflakes today?

it is true.

So true, they should just shutdown the SC2, WoW and TF2 servers and just forget the Crysis 2 release and put the final nail in the coffin for tiny communities such as CounterStrike and similar, non-thriving communities.

My cynical side is telling me not to celebrate about the re-emergence of a feature that existed back in the original Quake. However, my optimistic side is happy to see that they realized what a mistake IW made last year, and I'm definitely happy to see that they're taking steps to learn from that mistake.

I wonder how far in the future "post-launch" is suppose to be. Two weeks? A month? A year?

PC gaming is not dead, not nearly, but COD on the PC sure is. Most PC gamers gave up on COD after the first MW. It will take a lot to get them back to the 3rd one, especially after how they treated them on the 2nd. Only fools will purchase this I believe. Show with your wallets that you are tired of such recycled garbage and horrible company decisions that affect us. Remember, this is the same company that is still thinking about making you pay to play these types of games.

They are only doing this so people buy the game. If the stuff did not happen with Infinity Ward and people hating Activision for that, they would not have done this.

that and they now have no solid ground to try and lie to people on. Their " we are doing this so the game can't be hacked" reason sure fell to **** quickly lol.

How does that compute when MW2 on PC outsold MW1 on PC?

Steam and it's great deals on making the game only 10 to 15 bucks :p that and there are a lot of ignorant kids or parents who buy what the kids want. A real gamer can tell the leaps and bounds the first MW has over the 2nd. The 2nd is just a spam fest hack zone kiddie pool. It's the same way new Madden games seem to always sell, people want the newest, even if its not the greatest. It's just stupid human behavior by some. IMHO lol.

Doesn't matter how, when, where and who it sold to, still doesn't make the argument more valid :p

People are sheep with short memories.

They'll buy the game anyway.

Sure it does. Most people who bought the first MW on pc probably bought it on the console for MW2, since the PC offered nothing different. The PC MW2 sales only accounted for roughly 3% of all total sales. Also, the first MW did not sell well at the beginning, as many had doubts. But later on, it sold like hot cakes. Just the opposite happened with the 2nd, as it had a high preorder rate, but after it came out, the sales for it only went down and down.

I am trying to find a graph or something that shows the sales to date of each, but am having no luck on that.

I could care less about the multiplayer. I haven't touched it once since the first MW.

The reason I play MW1 and 2 is the singleplayer. The first was amazing - wow, but the second was epic! So many plot twisters!

Na, it can sell well all it wants. Doesn't make it a good game by any standards. I didn't directly mean by "mw2 on pc is dead" meaning it didn't sell well, but more in the terms that most pc gamers who know good games, don't like that and don't want anything to do with it. That doesn't mean there isn't a plethora of kids or people who don't know better won't buy it. They spent like what, 2 billion on advertising on the game, some suckers were bound to fall for it lol.

Spore sold well as well on the PC, game still sucks lol.

You said CoD on the PC was dead, I disputed that with increased sales - Nothing else.

No need to skate around everything else.
