Allow The Community To Design Maps!
Posted by woodo0 on May 4, 2012 2:49 PM
This needs to happen! Treyarch released mod tools for W@W but didn't deliver for BLOPS. For anyone doubting the creative minds of the community, a quick stroll through YouTube will turn up some very interesting vids. Not alone that but there's countless websites dedicated to custom W@W maps that ordinary gamers have made by themselves. This didn't take millions of dollars, just one or two guys in their spare time. And let's be honest, some custom maps are hell of a lot better than what comes in the COD games these days... Why don't Treyarch get the community involved in the project more? At the end of the day, it's our game. We are the people that decide whether it lives or dies and we should have input into the kind of game we want. Here's an idea - release mod tools and allow the community to create multiplayer maps. Have the COD community upload their map to a website and we, the community can choose/vote which 16 or so maps we want in the game. Then Treyarch can get their hands on the maps and beef them up themselves. This would mark a new phenomenon in the gaming world, never before would the customers and the developers/publishers be closer. Because let's face facts, millions of people across the planet have a far greater chance in making 16 unbelieable maps than a handful of guys sitting in the same office. Make it happen.

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.
