RalphsValve claims that Infinity Ward has plans for a «community-led effort» to create maps for Modern Warfare 2, but the map editing tools could also be used for Treyarch's unannounced next game. The leaker suggests this editor mode will be incorporated as «an offline mode equipping players with the necessary tools for blocking out, mapping, and editing an already existing map.» This editor tool is said to be designed to allow relatively simple changes with a focus on altering the gameplay experience of the game's existing maps.
«Modified maps will allow each creator the option of customizing spawn points, objectives, and restrictions,» RalphsValve says. This includes the editor's ability to «completely change the scenery of a level and its individual properties, such as crates and containers.»
