I just got world at war and sorry I'm still a noob...I have made a folder in the waw folder called mods and installed them map, however after install the map isn't in there and not in mods ingame. What am I doing wrong? It does have a shortcut on the desktop.

WaW doesn't read mods from the install directory but instead it reads them from the AppData directory of your Windows account (I'm speaking as a Windows 7 user). Your mod directory will be under:

C:\Users\<insert username here>\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\mods

You can either type that into the address bar in Windows Explorer or you can navigate to the folder yourself, although if you choose the latter you will have to make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" setting is enabled since AppData is a hidden directory.

To enable this setting, open a Windows Explorer window (i.e. open My Computer), go to the light blue bar at the top of the window and click:

Organise -> Folder and search options.

Then open the View tab in the new window that appears and under "Hidden files and folders" in the list of settings, click the "Show hidden files and folders" setting and click OK.

All WaW mods and custom maps must be placed in the above directory or else the game will not be able to recognise them, so perhaps this could be why they haven't worked for you? Hope this helps

I've just tried this map today and I played it for about an hour, but I can already say that this map is a very fun map to play so far. It has plenty of perks, plenty of weapons from several COD games (MW2, Blops and MW3 I believe) and it even has a Kino-style teleporter.

Can't wait to play it again tonight, thanks for creating this sweet map
