SO many of you ask me this question - Hope this helps!:) How I record my gameplay - 'LIKE' this video if this helped you! I get asked A LOT how to.

I'm looking to buy Call of Duty: World at War, but I want to know: How can I use custom maps downloaded by other players? I saw a video (vanossgaming) playing these maps, I don't know if he bought them but they are really expensive.

Can someone walk me through the steps: where can I find these custom maps/mods and how do I install them in the game? It is difficult? Is it legal to do so?

The chances of getting banned are slim to none, as Activision doesn't host any official servers for World at War now. Playing locally with friends, or hosting your own server, should be fine. The game's multiplayer is full of hosts and servers, so it would seem Activision has no problems with it.

A quick Google search turned up this promising tutorial on getting started:

No, it isn't possible legally for free if you want to host the game. For it to be legal, you must purchase the DLCs or you can join the maps with your friends but they have to invite you (afaik). Searching for 'Call of Duty World at War mods' on Google turned out a few mod sites, for example this one. Easy/hard is relative, but I think it is pretty easy to mod the game.

I don't know if custom zombie maps work with steam. But if you have to non-steam version it's fairly easy.

There are some dedicated sites like ZomMods or ZombieModding which provide you with various custom maps and tutorials to install them.

Also make sure to check out UGX-Mods for more fancy custom maps with nice scripts.

Most of the time you download an executable file (.exe) and all you have to do, is run that file and you're set up!

It definitely isn't illegal, because with CoD World at War, there is a folder and a menu item 'Mods' installed with the game. The game is made for mods!

I personally use Tunngle to play custom maps online. This way you don't need an Activision online profile for Call of Duty. In the game, you choose LAN. Tunngle creates a public LAN, so the game thinks you're actually sitting next to 100 players but really, you're just connected to the Call of Duty World at War-Lobby in Tunngle via the Internet.

The majority of Call of Duty fans love The zombies mode which had been introduced in World at War, and since then, the zombies mode in Call of Duty games has become an immense success! Not only that, but eventually, casual and hardcore gamers alike aspired to make their own custom zombies maps, and then presented them publicly for everyone to download and play. However, it seems apparent that not all of the zombie game fans out there know about how to get a hold of these maps, or where they'd begin to look for downloading them. This guide will show you just how to be able to play these maps, as well as the best source for downloading them.

Requirements to Play.

  • Purchase Call of Duty World at War.
  • Have a Decent Internet Connection.
  • Join ZombieModding or CustomCoD.
  • View Released Maps.
  • Installing the Custom Map.
  • Run the Custom Zombie Map.

You must make sure to buy the PC version of the game!

Call of Duty: World at War - PC

Purchase Call of Duty World at War.

The first step to being able to play these custom maps, is to have the most up-to-date version of Call of Duty World at War downloaded from Steam, and fully installed on your computer. Without the game already installed on your computer, the custom zombie map files cannot save in your 'mods' folder as it doesn't exist. The game currently is going for around £19.99 on Steam, which is fairly cheap for a game of this quality, but arguably, it is quite expensive for a game of this age.

Therefore, if you feel that this price is a little too steep for such an old game, then you should consider buying it from Amazon, or other respectable sources. Remember that you MUST buy the PC version of this game, as this cannot work on Xbox 360 or PS3 versions.

Have a Decent Internet Connection.

Whilst this is not compulsory, having a high speed internet connection can save you a lot of time with the downloading process, and can also improve the flow of the gameplay, if you decide to play it on a co-op server. I personally recommend going for one of the fibre optic deals available at the moment, especially from companies such as Virgin Media or BT.

InstallCod

Join ZombieModding.com or CustomCOD.com

Now this is where the fun begins. The first step to downloading one of the custom zombies maps, is to join either ZombieModding.com or CustomCOD.com, as these are the major websites in providing the maps. My personal preference between the two would be ZombieModding, as it is the most user friendly of the sites, and has some great forum posts and guide for you to follow. (For such issues as downloading and saving maps.) Although, CustomCOD does provide some maps that ZombieModding doesn't, which can always be reasonable justification for going with CustomCOd instead.

In terms of registering for these sites, the forms are pretty standard for most websites. You must first accept an agreement with the website, and then provide your details based on what they require. Do not worry about this, as ZombieModding is a well trusted sites with thousands of members, and will never disclose your information with anyone else.

Visit the Released Maps Page.

Once you have created your own account on either of the two websites, you can then visit the released maps page and search through the available downloads.

To get to this page simply:

  1. Go onto the Downloads tab.
  2. Then click on the Sub Category named 'Maps' under the Nazi Zombies Tab.
  3. Next, visit the released maps link, and view all of the maps available.
  4. Finally, choose the one you want based on each map's footage and details.

You can click on each of the options to see footage of the map on YouTube, and find the link required to download the map. You'll then be re-directed to 'gamefront' where you can download the file, from typically a server in either France or the U.S.

Install the Downloaded Map.

It's standard for the maps on ZombieModding, to have their own automatic installer, which will place and extract all of the files in the right folder. This means that you do not have to locate all the files by yourself, and then extract them by yourself too. In fact, if you are short of time or do not want to go looking for files, then I'd highly recommend that you consider only using ZombieModding, but otherwise CustomCOD is a perfectly viable option.

Obviosuly, depending on the map that you've chosen to install, will affect just how much time it will take for the installer to completely finish extracting the files. But this process doesn't usually take too long, and is very easy to complete.

Run the Custom Zombie Map in World at War.

Best Cod Waw Zombies Maps

Finally, you've downloaded the custom map and installed it onto your computer. There is just one more step now, and that is to run it in Call of Duty: World at War. To do this, start up the game via. Steam, and then proceed to the main menu, after the short video clip. Once at the main menu of Call of Duty: World at War, you should open up the 'mods' section, and launch the map that you've downloaded. The game will usually close at this point and then re-open.

Depending on the map, you may either just have to click an option which says 'solo' or you may have to type in a command into the console. If so, press the ` key on your keyboard, whilst still in the main menu, and then in the box that opens,type in the following...

'map (name of map)'

So in the case of the map which I've downloaded, this would be 'map nazi_zombie_triangle'. To commence the map, simply press the 'enter' key on your keyboard, then begin.
