Developer Treyarch has announced that it would release a set of PC mod tools for Call of Duty: Black Ops in May.

The mod tools will be made available exclusively for the PC version.

The announcement was made via social networking site Twitter. Making the announcement, Treyarch’s PC development wrote, “We are shooting for mod tools release in May #codblackops#PC.”

At this stage, it is difficult to tell precisely what tools Treyarch is planning to deliver, but experts expect them to focus on map making tools. The new is very exciting for the PC community as they will no longer have to keep paying for maps.

The upcoming release of the mod tools is expected pave way for a steady flow of maps from the development community.

Call of Duty: Black Ops has proved to be a grand success. It has reported sales of as many as 3.3 million copies in the UK, putting Treyarch's latest title at the top in the list for all entertainment properties in 2010.
