User blog comment:Gershtoot/Blops PC Patch, preparing for mod tools!/@comment-2040725-20110527163903

Mod tools in a CoD game? Fail, when everyone who would want to mod already has their own modding tools that *work online*. It seems to me like Treyarch is taking what made other games good (in this case TES games), and slapping it half-assed into a game they rightly fear will be trampled by MW3. BOps did well to appeal to the -13 aged audience, but hardcore and oldschool CoD fans were left in the dark on this one.

Customization on emblems and weapons sucked and was obviously rushed, and weapon variety was nonexistant. Either you used a FAMAS or a Galil, or you died, unless you were hosting, in which case you had an advantage over everybody.

Treyarch has always seemed to me to be a fail game developer, imitating other companies' successes. Obviously IW's revolutionizing of the CoD franchise, but also Halo's "listen to the community" shtick. What Treyarch doesn't seem to understand, is that if you take an already sub-par game, and ask your widest audience (pre-pubescent children and tweens) what they'd like in it? You'll end up with an even shittier game.

Of course, some of you could point out that at least Treyarch is coming out with TU's often, which is true compared to MW2. However this TU's are only adding what would've been added to a game that was properly made.
