Yeah, just heard about this and I don't even know what to think. So, I decided that I just won't think about it at all.

The post was so vague... it implies a definite confirmation of custom MP maps and modes... but that could literally mean a fucking Halo forge, lol. No mention of zombies in the post either.

I cannot bring myself to get hyped -- if this turns out to be some sort of sick fucking joke, and the tools are just basic map/mode editors or MP only, I would have a total mental breakdown. I reserve enthusiasm until they're actually out.

And my God, it would be an absolutely astronomical shift for the community. Astronomical. I'd wager it would bring custom zombies to the forefront of gaming culture, rivaling Skyrim/Fallout mods on the Nexus. IDK how many current members could run the game, but I think, again, that we'd get a lot of new blood anyway.

That's all I can possible even think right now. Fingers crossed for the best.

Treyarch knows that the zombie community is as popular, or more popular, then their MP community so it would be stupid to only have the mod tools for MP and not for zombies.

Also with how many people switched their preorders from consoles to PC as soon as mod tools were announced, if they try and back out now, they will lose the PC community entirely. I for one, would lose all respect for treyarch and will stop buying their products altogether, and i'm sure I am not alone in that situation.

I'm with you on this one the thing that sucks is that the mod tools for BO1 are still in "Beta" stage as Radiant was never released so it makes me wonder if this time around they'll back out and not release Radiant or a piss poor version of it to try to make us happy.

to be fair to them, with BO1, they actually said there would be no map support. This time, they havent explicitly stated either way

Modding & Mapping Tools Coming to Black Ops 3 PC in 2016

We’ve been listening to one of your top requests and are excited to announce that modding and mapping are coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 PC!

You will be able to create Maps & Game Modes and more!

The post quite explicitly states there will be mapping tools though. Otherwise I would have been cynical that they would pull another 'BO1' too.

Seems pretty unambiguous to me?

im still upset that they did it bo3 engine isnt worth box maps as well as throwing all my hard work under the bus... i mean seriously, how am i supposed to beat limits i cant even reach?

Why is everyone mad about this? I'm super hyped for this even if you cant add this or that at least we have something.. along side some world at war maps I think this is great news.. And I give all my support to the team for even thinking about the community and giving it a go

It's not 'everyone', it's a few whiners, whining for the sake of whining, what's new?

Personally I agree that Treyarch have seen what the community can do and are releasing it to unnecessarily expand the lifespan of BO3.

Why?

They've seen how an 8 year old game (WaW) is still selling and a significant rate compared to their other games, so, if they decide to release mod/mapping tools, they will release it in full to gain more money in the long term.

activision realized that pc sales were going down, and saw that custom zombies was growing... so they saw an opportunity to get $60 per game instead of $20
