Call of Duty: Black Ops III is set to release this week, but today, Activision and Treyarch are announcing a major new feature for the PC version of the game that won't quite be ready for launch. Treyarch has been known as the more PC-friendly among the CoD development teams and it is looking to prove that by announcing another first for the series: the addition of PC mods.
PC users will soon be able to create their own maps, as well as their own game modes, from scratch. Black Ops III will get unraked dedicated servers solely dedicated to these custom creations. Server hosts will also find tools to assist them in throwing up their own servers. These servers will then be thrown into an Unranked Server Browser for convenience.
This is something of an ambitious move for a Call of Duty game, which is why the feature won't be ready for launch. Treyarch is anticipating a March deployment date for closed alpha, with an open beta set to come quickly after. The developer is pledging to keep PC users updated on its progress. Regardless of when it starts, it appears that Treyarch is looking to make Black Ops III last well beyond whatever next year's Call of Duty game winds up being.
