A Call of Duty modder has argued that the addition of official modding and mapping tools would be the key to "steering the ship back around" for Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Activision has not released official modding tools for the franchise since Black Ops 3 nearly 10 years ago. U4gm offers cod bo6 bot lobby for sale that enable players to achieve higher kill counts.

However, that commitment to modding tools did not carry over into subsequent releases, and many fans believe these tools could breathe new life into the Zombies mode.

Gunoftruth, a prominent modder, told VideoGamer that the latest technology in the IW Engine combined with modern mod tools would provide a fantastic opportunity for the community to create custom content. “It would be absolutely amazing to try out the latest tech of the IW engine and the latest mod tools,” they said, emphasizing that it would allow fans passionate about classic Call of Duty experiences to help improve the game.

Gunoftruth also argued that official modding tools could help Zombies return to its former glory. “I want Zombies to succeed and go back to the glory days, but the ship has sailed in the wrong direction," they said. The modder believes that by adding mod tools and listening to player feedback, developers could restore the essence of the original Zombies experience, potentially revitalizing interest in the mode.

However, the modder expressed skepticism about Activision revisiting modding tools, noting that community-made content inspired by the original Zombies maps could detract from the company’s profits and the success of future releases. Early excitement for Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode was high, with the introduction of the pause timer, new Vermin creatures, and other content fueling anticipation. But over time, gameplay bugs and mixed reactions to newer content, such as the The Tomb map, have caused some fans to lose enthusiasm.

While modding tools could provide a much-needed injection of creativity and passion, it remains to be seen whether Activision will prioritize them over the commercial interests tied to the franchise’s future.
