Mods are a way of modifying/expanding the Warzone core gameplay beyond what is possible using the built-in configuration options. Modded games can be created only by players who have purchased a Membership.

When joining a multi-player game with mods, the Warzone client will automatically download and run the code for that mod. No installation is required to use mods. Simply join or create a game that has mods enabled.

Since no installation is required, mods are fully supported on Android and iOS! The only platform that does not support mods is the legacy Flash client.

Restrictions

Single-player modded games are always free for members. Likewise, multi-player games where all players are members are also free. Members can create a modded game for non-members by using the special "Allow non-members to join" check-box on the mods page. Using this special checkbox is free once per week to members, but after that will cost a small fee (3 coins per player in the game). This fee exists since mods can run on the server, and modded games are significantly more CPU-intensive for the Warzone server to run than non-modded games.
