Meh I'm not really into custom maps at all. I rather just buy DLCs.

There are mapping tools for WaW but not Black Ops. There's mod tools yes but no level editor

Forge was the reason I bought Halo Reach. I never played the game before. After playing multiplayer I realized WHY I never played the game before.

Played 2 rounds and returned it. "Skill matchmaking" wasnt even working right. It placed my in games that had people with very high KD ratios.

would be good idea

It wouldn't need too much additional development as their current level editor is integrated with the engine anyway. It will most likely be a form of Radiant (can't remember the modified name sorry). That should be more than enough for level designers to create maps for Black Ops 2.

Genuinly if a map editor was released for Black Ops 2 I would buy 2 version: 1 for my Xbox and 1 for my PC so that I could create maps

They wont release a map maker because they will lose sales on DLC. Plain and simple.

If you get bored with the game you will either make new maps OR buy new maps. Well they will make the bored people BUY new maps.

Good answer I just don't like the idea of the 'best maps' being released into regular playlists like the ideas above. It would take months to plan out the tool and months to make it. I'm with you on the hacking thing too many people would get IPs, etc. But it would be easier not to make this 'tool' at all.

I guess i didnt think of that. Dang perverts!

I don't see the problem in it if it's along side developed maps. Put the custom maps in a custom playlist.

There would be many problems with this tho, one would be the time it would take to actually developed the programe to allow hundreds of thousands of people to create maps. The other would be the fact they would have to be stored server side, having to download them from a host console or computer is just a hackers dream.

If there was to be one it would be very generic and maps just wouldn't have the quality there. A good idea in theory but with having to design a brand new game and possibly engine I just don't see them being able to do this.

It's not just money with Treyarch they will actually accept losing money at first if that's what the players want, but many would not like the outcome of community designed maps. Unless it's Treyarch designed I would just rage quit and not go back to Black Ops 2. It would make the community mad + lower their money making. So they most likely would not create a map making tool for players.

It's all about the money. They're selling DLCs and having the mod tools to make your own maps will lessen their revenues.

I agree with you, it would take probably a year of planning to actually create a map designer for players, then they would have to make it. I personally do not like the idea of the community making maps in any way shape or form and would actually stop playing Call of Duty if this idea was actually released into Black Ops 2.

There are too many young people as you said that play Call of Duty, there would be the immature/perveted/flat map with one building, etc. Rarely anybody would actually make a map worth releasing.

Actually, many games have done this before. The highest rated community maps were placed into multiplayer for about a month, then the next batch replaced those. It wouldn't be the first.

Anyway, I am a bit skeptical about this idea, because I highly doubt they would make a decent editor, and they wouldn't take the time to find the maps, "beef" them up, and launch them into the actual game. Plus, immaturity flows deep within all fanbases... nuff said.

hell no with the mentality of the majority of the cod community we would all end up running around a penis shaped map or 2 horses humping

Sounds like a good idea.

But the casual person with no experience would have no idea how to work Radiant. Hell, most people that actually try, find it difficult to design a floor.

I'm talking more along the lines of the Far Cry map editors.
