Cod5 MOD TOOLS Questions

[steveuk]

Ive heard thet COD5 Mod tools for mapping will be shipped along with the game, is it true or a rumor.
If not shipped with the game, how long will it be befor they release the Mapping tools i wounder.? I also hear the tools are more friendly than all the other COD mapping tools. Is this true.lol

Also i like to know if COD5 is under the Cod4 Engine, would it be possible to run COD4 custom maps on COD5 or is it totaly differant Engine . ive heard and seen so many things /rumors, i dont know what true and is not true.lol

Also how long after will C/J forum start adding the topic Folders for COD5, ie, Mapping, tutorials, General Chat, ect.?

Well for a start, you can't run a map from one game on a completely different game, just because it runs the same engine. Also, they never have the 'same' engine. There's always changes that are made regardless of whether they say it's the same engine.

In regards to rumors of MOD TOOLS being shipped with the game.. How is ANYONE supposed to know that until it happens?

He has a point

You said IW.

[Marshall]

I don't think there has been any official news - therefore we are reliant on either working at IW or guess work, so I will simply say I don't know

Edit: Ok, I said IW - big bloody deal.

Treyarch is making it.. what has IW got to do with it?

edit: Just saw your edit, lmao

ITS THE SAME ENGINE!

FFS, Infinity Ward developed the Engine, Treyarch are using the engine for CoD5, why would Infinity Ward change their engine so another company can profit off of it?

This is not quake 3, the engine is not open source, this is a privately sold engine.

The only changes will be ASSETS (maps, models, characters, voice, textures, sounds, weapons)

actually, they'll probably have to add some shit to the engine for vehicles in mp.

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

That's what I mean. How can there be NO changes ?

CoD4 had vehicles in sp, and some guy brought them into MP, they were buggy, but I don't see why you would need to change the engine to get vehicles.

[Soviet]

That was extremely rudimentary. For all of the parts to work together correctly, I'd expect some slight engine alterations. However, Drofder does have the point with the private engine thing. It could possibly be done without editing of the engine, but I kind of doubt it.

Next minute you'll be telling me the Dev's making 007 Quantum of Solace didn't change the engine either.

You never know .

I give up, all games using the CoD4 engine, are in fact using a different Call of Duty 4 Engine.

vehicles in mp? Translation: portable bounce platforms

Don't give in to peer pressure .
