The Black Ops developer has been listening to their fans and, after constant pestering, Treyarch will be bringing modding tools, map makers, and custom modes to their latest instalment in the franchise Call of Duty: Black Ops III.

These features will not be ready for Friday's launch but PC owners will be able to access modding tools at some point next year. Here's exactly what Treyarch has in mind for the project:

  • 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

A short disclaimer follows this news, just in case something tragic happens during development:

"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."

As for Black Ops III itself, prepare to dive into its dark and twisted future three days from now on November 6 when it launches around the world.
