.GSC File Extension

A .GSC file is a Call of Duty Game Script, created by Activision.

Open with Activision Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Available for Windows.

What is a .GSC file?

The .GSC file extension is associated with the popular video game series Call of Duty (CoD), specifically used in titles such as Modern Warfare 2 (MW2), MW3, MW4, and MW5. These files are essentially scripts that the game reads to understand how to set up various gameplay elements. They are saved in a format that is easy to read, similar to how you would read text on a page, which is why it's called plain text format.

Inside a .GSC file, you might find information that tells the game how to arrange the environment of a map, what kind of graphics to display, how the audio should sound, and other important settings that affect how the game plays. These files are crucial for defining the experiences within the game, such as the layout of a level or the behavior of the game under certain conditions.

To open a .GSC file, you can use specific programs designed for Call of Duty games, such as Activision Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Activision Call of Duty: Black Ops. These programs understand the structure of the .GSC file and can use the information within to contribute to the game's development or modification.

However, because .GSC files are in plain text format, you can also open them with general text editing software. Notepad++, for example, is a popular text editor that offers more features than the basic Notepad application on Windows, making it easier to view and edit the contents of a .GSC file. Other text editors, whether they're simple ones like Notepad or more complex ones available for different operating systems, can also open .GSC files. This means if you're interested in seeing or editing the game scripts yourself, you don't necessarily need specialized software—just a program that can read text files.
