After a few months of development, my first ever video game mod, Black Ops Expanded and Enhanced is done! Of course, I didn't do it alone - credits are at the end of the post.
BO1 Expanded and Enhanced is a mod that aims to fix the game's multiplayer weapon balance; it fixes the game's clone weapons, buffs several underpowered weapons/attachments and even adds new Cold War era weapons.
Here's a preview trailer of the mod: https://youtu.be/fvm9dntC5V8?si=vcULT-bOb680V9SU
You can download the mod here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RNkxMohaEFu_xlQSv2AWzZkch2gcAQ8S?usp=sharing
How To Install and Play
1) Download the "mp_expanded" folder from the Google Drive link
2) Copy the folder into your Black Ops mods folder - usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops\mods
3) Launch the game and select "mp_expanded" from the Mods menu

Also, we're looking for a custom modeller in order to make models for attachments as well as advanced modders to edit the create a class menu in order to add new weapons. If you have the skillset for either of these, please message me using the "contact me" form on the site.
