			*As we all know, COD5 uses the local Application Data directory to run maps and mods. What isnt clear at the moment is that Treyarch have reverted us back to the COD4 pre-1.5 patch method, where all map IWDs go inside a mod folder.

			[[Image:warning.png]] You cannot run your map IWD inside the 'usermaps' folder.

			*So, to set up your map, place everything but the IWD file in:

			Vista:

			C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\usermaps\mp_yourmap\

			XP:

			C:\Documents and Settings\<your_username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\usermaps\mp_yourmap\

			Inside the 'usermaps' folder, create another folder named after your map (just like you did for COD4). So, the directory root will now be:



			*Place your 3 fast files:

			*mp_mapname.ff
			*localized_mp_mapname.ff
			*mp_mapname_load.ff

			4. Next, choose a mod to run your map from. There is a default mod named mp_usermaps. Place your map's IWD, with its loadscreen IWI and minimap IWI, inside it.
