Call Of Duty
It has been announced today that Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 may be getting mod support sometime in March of 2016 to add more to the Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 experience on the PC
With Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 on the verge of release, November 6th, you'd think all we would have is fluff Marketing items from Activision to promote it but looks like the news and updates are still flowing out for the game. In this case it looks like Treyarch is going to try to bring Mod support to this Call Of Duty for the PC master race. Sorry to all of you who are picking up Black Ops 3 for the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, or Xbox 360. There are no plans at this time to bring this support over there if they are even able to bring it to Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 in the first place.
All of this comes right from the horse's mouth over at Treyarch in their most recent update for this game. From what they state PC gamers will have access to all the dedicated server files and the ability to create their own modes and maps in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3. This is of course if they can get this option up and running. Treyarch is very adamant on making sure that we all know it isn't 100% definite that this Call Of Duty will be getting the dedicated tools just in case they cannot make them work at the end of the day. So it's more hopes than anything here in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3.
If this feature is making its way into Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 PC gamers can look forward to gaining access to an Alpha test of these tools sometime in March of 2016. I am guessing we'll hear more about it and if Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 will be getting the feature by February of 2016 so I guess we should all just cross our fingers in the hopes that Treyarch can nail this down. Then we'll see all kinds of madness come out of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 then. At least that would be the follow up hope and dream here.
We’ve still got a lot of work left to do, but here’s our current plan:
- You will be able to create Maps & Game Modes and more!
- We will include Unranked Dedicated Server Files with the tools so you can run servers with modded content anywhere you choose.
- We will provide an Unranked Server Browser so you can easily find and join servers with modded content.
- Closed Alpha target date: March 2016
Please remember that this is software development, so things don’t always work out exactly as planned. Sometimes features slip or drop off altogether, sometimes they get replaced with other, more awesome features as we hit into limitations of our original plans.
Are you excited to see this feature possibly making its way into Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3? Would you also like to see these features make their way to the other platforms? Will Treyarch try and take a page from Bethesda as they are planning with DOOM? Let us know what you think and discuss away in the comments below. Once we have all of this nailed down and Activision clears a launch date for this Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 feature we'll have it all here so be sure to keep checking back in as we get closer to the soft dates for it all.
