When a player clicks the Change Mods button when creating a Warzone game, they will be shown all mods that are Public and have been approved by an administrator.

If you made a mod, and want to see it approved so that the public can use it, please follow these steps:

  1. Test it thoroughly in both single player and multi-player games. Recruit other players to help test and give you feedback to ensure it works and is free of bugs.
  2. Ensure the way to use it and its affects are well documented and easy to understand, either in ModDescription and/or in the game creation UI.
  3. Open the Mod Development Console, click Edit next to the mod and check the Public box.
  4. Send Fizzer a description of the mod, the mod ID (viewable when clicking Edit), and a link to a multi-player game played with the mod. Use this link: https://www.warzone.com/Discussion/SendMail?PlayerID=4569

After it's public, you should also check the "reports" section every once in a while to ensure any errors with the mod are fixed.
