Treyarch Studios has given word that the new Call of Duty: World at War patch is now live and can be downloaded from several mirrors on the official website. If you used Steam to purchase the game, the download and installation will be automatic.

Along with the main patch, Mod Tools 1.3 is now out, in addition to the 1.5 Linux dedicated server bins. The new Mod Tools allows gamers to get started on their own Nazi Zombie maps, so expect a load of fun new environments to shoot some undead heads off soon.

The developers also gave the GGL and Clanbase a plug, encouraging competitive players to sign up for the new PC tournaments. The tournaments’ prizes offer up to $2,500 prizes and Call of Duty apparel.

PC gamers should be used to having to wait longer for their content patches by now, but sometimes it’s a good thing. For example, Call of Duty: World at War’s DLC for PC have always been free.

Yesterday, Treyarch Studio’s community manager made a post on the official Call of Duty forums mentioning that Map Pack 2 will be included with the new 1.5 patch, free of charge. The Map Pack 2 has been out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions since early June.

In case you haven’t checked out the change log for the upcoming patch, the Call of Duty forums have you covered. There is no planned release date for the patch.
