(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); PC modders were prevented from modding Modern Warfare 2 in its entirety, whereas Call of Duty: Black Ops will have modding tools available for the PC community.

A Treyarch Spokesman said on the Black Ops official site:



For those of you who are unsure, Mod Tools is a computer program which will allow PC users to create their own version of the game. It allows them to change out models, weapons, effects, characters, and even create an entire level.

This announcement will be much welcomed in the Call of Duty PC community, who were annoyed at Infinity Ward's decision not to allow for modding in Modern Warfare 2.

Are you excited at the prospect of PC Modding for Black Ops?


RedKnight adds: Just so you know, 'Mod Tools' means Developer Kit. Basically zombie mods in multiplayer, promod, other cool modded gametypes, extra maps and custom levels, weaponry and equipment in certain servers.

My 360 crashes WAY more than my PC does. And PCs are built to deal with those different hardware combinations. Like I said, if you know how a computer works, you'll rarely have problems. Only do what a computer is meant to do and you're good. The only reason peoples computers crash is because they do things they shouldn't, try to run things that they shouldn't, etc.

I wouldn't trust my Xbox to do have the shit my PC can for my life.

EDIT: Here's a good article. You must login or register to view this content.

It shows the advantages/disadvantages of both.

Yes, PC issues are inevitable. But like I said, if you're good with computers and have common sense, you'll almost never encounter them.

Also, when you have an issue with a computer, it's usually just because you have to upgrade the drivers, take a virus off, etc.

If you want the latest and greatest with consoles, you have to buy a whole new console. And console hardware issues are a LOT harder to fix.

I'm talking in consideration to testing. With consoles it's a standard hardware with no difference between model to model but that's not the case with PC's where you have a lot of GPU's and you never know when a certain hardware combination could fail to run the game.

Once again, if you know how PCs work, you'll be fine. I don't know how many times I have to say that. If you know nothing about PCs, you shouldn't even try to PC game.

It doesn't matter how much you know about PC's, if the game doesn't work with a certain piece of hardware you'll have to replace it or wait for a patch whereas that doesn't happen with consoles.

How much you know about computers has everything to do with the issues you'll encounter.

If you know your hardware's limits, and you know what you shouldn't do on your computer, you'll never buy a game only to learn that it'll crash your setup.

I definitely know that I cannot run new games on this laptop, and not because I've tried to, because I know my hardware's limitations. And to know your hardware's limits, you need to know how computers in general work. And knowing means knowledge.

Definition of knowledge, as seen on Dictionary.com.

knowl·edge
–noun
1.
acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation; general erudition: knowledge of many things.
2.
familiarity or conversance, as with a particular subject or branch of learning: A knowledge of accounting was necessary for the job.
3.
acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight, experience, or report: a knowledge of human nature.
4.
the fact or state of knowing; the perception of fact or truth; clear and certain mental apprehension.
5.
awareness, as of a fact or circumstance: He had knowledge of her good fortune.
6.
something that is or may be known; information: He sought knowledge of her activities.
7.
the body of truths or facts accumulated in the course of time.
8.
the sum of what is known: Knowledge of the true situation is limited.

I have more reasoning to back what I'm saying, btw. I just dunno how to word it without making my head hurt. (As in thinking extremely outside the box, ahead of myself, etc.) It's very abstract.

If you set someone down who's not good with computers (a person who doesn't know the different hardware, etc.) in front of two same-looking computers, one which can play games, and one which can't, and he plays a game you hand him on the one that can, don't you think he'd expect the other too be able to, too? Probably.

It's common sense that not all computers will be able to run all games, and if you're a decent computer user, you'll understand that BEFOREHAND, and not run into those problems.

thats cool i might get in to pc gaming to do mods, it sucks that good gaming pc's are so expensive though

Yeah. You could get a decent one for about $500 on eBay. I got mine for $425, and it works very well. ^_^

yea well im just 14 years old and already have an xbox and ps3 so i doubt my parents will by me one i'll just wait tell the next generation of consoles comes out then get a powerful pc
