September Updates
Hello everyone,
We have made a few updates, changes, and additions. Additions to leaderboards:
- BO1 and BO3: 70SR for 3 & 4 players,
- WWII: Tortured Path speedruns for 3 & 4 players (no consumables),
- Community Leaderboards: Burst Modifier (BO4 – Alpha Omega),
Rules changes:
- CW: Outbreak round skips for high rounds only are ALLOWED.,
Clarifications:
- IW: Removing .bik files to skip the intro cutscenes is ALLOWED.,
- WWII: Fast restarts are ALLOWED.,
Additionally, we’ve introduced new standards for Aesthetic mods in Black Ops 3 High Rounds (excluding First Rooms). These standards were shaped by player feedback and developer input through a multi-step review process where developers had time to share feedback and suggest edits. Mod creators had 30 days to bring their mods in line with the agreed-upon standards. Unfortunately, the following Black Ops 3 mods will be removed from the verified mod list until they are updated to meet the standards and reverified:
- Ds4c by Death_Storm4,
- Ds4c Patched by Death_Storm4,
- ReDempTion by XcDylan93,
- ReDempTion Patched by XcDylan93,
We understand this is not ideal for players using these mods. To ease the transition, we are allowing a 72-hour grace period. Any games started with these mods after September 6th, 2025, at midnight EST will be denied. Finally, the WaW community is hosting a vote on specific leaderboard additions, rule changes, and clarifications. Please see the criteria on the form. The link to the vote sheet can be found here:
