Making maps is the only way to mod CoD?

Are Call of Duty mapping tools ever going to reach that level where you will be able to place FX's, sounds, CSV, GSC and all other for now necessary files (Especially reflection probes) directly from Radiant.

There are already tools that exist in CoD4 and CoDWAW to make those processes easier like CreateFx, Mod Builder, Launcher, etc...

You can always make your own tools too using Visual Basic or C++, batch files, etc...

Oh you mean 5 minute process (in this case COD4) to compile simple map (all compiles included)?

Of course. I've made a couple of tools using Perl over the years. Although they were crude and basic, they accomplished what I intended. What is important to note is that I knew what needed to be accomplished. I can't see why someone would create a tool to do something, that they don't know what the tool needs to accomplish.

Consider, for example, the "Create Map" button I mentioned earlier (Which only seems to create a half-ass, basic map template complete with missing file and asset errors) If I made a tool based on that, I would actual need to know what files and directories needed to be created, what sound and script files needed compiled, etc, etc...

The mp maps released with BO are the weakest maps in the entire series for gameplay. It'll be nice to get some decent custom maps to offset the crap ones that came with the game.

Not trying to stir anything but do you have specifics to illustrate your point of view? Sure some maps are not suited to some gametypes (domination for me is weak on a lot of maps) but calling all of them "crap"? [confused]
