Call of Duty Map Creator

This seems to be one of the most wanted features of Call of Duty fans. The ability to create a map and upload it so that others can play it too. We all love playing online but the maps start to get old after a few hundred times. So, instead of having to wait for new maps packs to be offered, how about a map creator?

Nice idea but like you said people will say Activision will not want to loose money and this is true.A map editor is counter productive if you are releasing DLC maps. Far Cry 2 had an excellent map editor but a map pack was never released because the community make them now. The only way Activision can get round this is then to release other type of DLC like weapons and skins but I am not sure if this would be a profitable. Map editors (in this sense) are going the way of the dodo because it hinders profits.

There was map editors right up until Modern Warfare 1, they let you build maps from scratch using the models and textures within the game or ones you made yourself.

You essentially just outlined the basic functions of a map editor and called it your idea, put a little bit more thought into it next time :) don't just flesh out "I want a map editor" with useless fluff.

@MMOGames

Have any unique ideas?

Jordanemery4974d ago

I "think" fans would like this option more than waiting on maps to come out every few months. At least this would keep things fresh.

just_looken4974d ago

i would love this option and make it so when im done i can upload it to a test area if i pass i can sell it lets see 3 maps a week easy to do $5 each map set sell to millions of idiots yep sounds like early retirement ok activision im ready.

The only way to see a map editor for CoD released would be to monetize it. Activision killed the mod tools to make more money, They will reinstate it only if they make money off of it.

One solution would be to release for free the tools, and allow people to test custom maps locally. If one wants to rent a custom map enabled server, it would cost 50% more than a regular server. That would be 45 bucks instead of 30 for a 32 players server.

This would allow Activision to pump as many DLC they feel like, and players would be able to enjoy custom maps as well. Said players (some of them) will participate in server renting costs.

Guaranteed financial return is the sine qua non condition for Activision to ever consider mod tools again. Play Share Create is not their motto.

I keep hearing the same thing ever time a new FPS about to drop Cod Killer lol and then nothing happens.

The Finals
Xdeviant( so many thought this game was going to steal COD thunder, cancelled in a year of release lol.)

Battlefield was the closer to do it and just when they were gaining ground with BF3 and 4. They switched up their formula.

I can’t say for everyone but me and my friends but we definitely switched over during BF3-4 era.
I would love for them to go back like that.

BF3 campaign was dope asf to

LordoftheCritics57d ago

BF3 is the greatest battlefield game ever made and probably the best MP shooter I have ever played.

This was the turning point where COD was beginning to lose ground and then EA fumbled BF4 launch.

Fumbling continues till today.

Exactly, but none of them are Battlefield. Fans like me are so tired of these weird skins and random crossovers in CoD, not to mention all the bugs and server issues. So if a mil-sim like BF drops, we're going that way.

Atp cod is killing itself ea can provide a finisher man

The only thing that can kill Call of Duty is Call of Duty 👍

XiNatsuDragnel57d ago

I agree 100% cod suits imo keeping killing cod imo

Putte56d ago

And that is what is happening. That's what all this is about.

Abear2156d ago

Battle pass and constantly asking for money between every match is insanity

MetroidFREAK2157d ago

As long as it doesn't stoop so low to include goofy, dumb ass skins... I'll be willing to give it a chance. Even after the disaster of 2042

He's right. The time is now. There has never been a better time to kill of call of duty. The game is in shambles. But of course this new Battlefield needs to at least be back to it's former self and then and some smoother gameplay and the battle royale needs to be Fresh and Fun. But the time is absolutely right right now.
