So how will mods & modded servers for console even work?

[Pop]

So people will be able to access & download mods from inside the game.
Share their own mods at mod.io for people to download it there as well.

But these mods will only be playable on custom community servers, correct?
So a console player, could they host games directly from the main menu?

Currently, anyone wanting to host a community server, need it to be dedicated.
This means renting a server, or setting one up on an additional machine.

Maybe there's a chance that people will be able to host from menu in the future?
Maybe even on the pc? If not, I can't see how this cross platform mod thing works.

Im sure there will be clientside mods aswell, that you can use on the official servers. I would love if we could just create a server from the menu aswell but ehhh... It's NWI were talking about, i love them, but they have been doing pretty bad lately.

I mean alright, lets say client side mods for gun sounds, skins & such are possible.
But what about maps? Additional content that needs to be on the server itself?
How will that be made possible for console players, if not through hosting servers?
So they'd either get only partial support for mods on console, or need hosting somehow.

Hey, thanks for posting. I am going to move this over to our Mod Tools sub-forum!

I think mods with maps that can only work with servers will be featured on official servers as an event? I guess.

But, that sucks I wish we can play them directly from the main menu like in the classic source engine insurgency :((((((
