A title update for Call of Duty: Black Ops has been released for both the 360 and PlayStation 3. A number of live fixes were added to the game yesterday, and a bunch of other issues are still in the hopper. In short: Treyarch says it's working very hard on squashing Black Ops' bugs through both patches and updates.
Here's are the fixes/updates that are on their way:
- Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions
- Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions
- Prevention of a rare issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances
And here's what was added/fixed yesterday:
- Improved matchmaking to find matches significantly faster
- Improved matchmaking to ensure that players are more effectively matched to games with the best networking conditions
- Improved host selection to ensure that the best host is always selected in the pre-game lobby
- Improved party system to ensure that parties don’t get broken apart
- Disable ability to join Private Match, Combat Training and Theater lobbies when searching for Player Match games
- Server-side and game-side changes to decrease the amount of failed Film uploads
- Weekly and Monthly leaderboards will now track all kills, deaths and assists properly (All Time leaderboards were not affected by this)
- Prevention of Combat Training stats getting crossed with Player Match stats under rare conditions
- Prevention of temporary loss of functionality when a button was being held down at the point of a disconnect
- Additional fine-tuning of audio levels and ranges for footsteps and gunfire
- Additional fine-tuning of audio levels for bomb plants/defuses
- Additional online security enhancements
Overall, are there ay issues with the game that you've run across? It's been largely bug-free for me, but I've been playing almost all single-player, and nothing stress-tests a game like hours of multiplayer.

I'v had the ocational lack of luck....or bad spawning....to get a nice kill streak then die because some one spawns behind me then spawn and die over and over by the same person because i spawn 3ft in front of him no matter where he is... this happend to a lot in mw2 and i mean almost every time i played....10 kill steak one from chopper or ac130 then the curse begins.
everything else works for me...my friend complains the graphics arnt as good as mw2 but he loves high roller wager matches.... Im
Kuyu The Dragon on xbox so send me a message saying you've seen my G4 post and ill add you....i get to many invites from random people so if you dont add that last part i may not add you...

Spawns... They just spawn everywhere, anywhere and right on top of you! If you simply have to pull the trigger and score a headshot after spawning, then the spawning has a problem!

I also forgot to mention the Napalm. It still gets me in buildings. On Radiation I went into one of the little huts leading to the bottom and I was killed by fire which was on the roof but not inside. Also the fire was broken one time and I was like "I could make it through that". WRONG! I still got burned by the air. I also got hit by Napalm while in a warehouse with a roof on top :\

Well I noticed people shooting without recoil. The gun doesn't move up and it barely shakes at all. they shoot in full auto and it's direct hits, or when I'm turning the corner I don't see anybody and I die and the guy runs past me. on the killcam he was already past the corner and shooting me. to me it happened in a second but to him he saw me for a few more seconds than needed, or you could add "if you stay in one place too long you'll die". It will really minimize the campers, also look for people who have colored clan tags and who are not prestige 13. they could be hackers or modders. I also get knifed from a distance. i knife and miss and we circle and he knifes the air beside me and i die. just recently my care package fell on top of a can. it was shaking and wouldn't let me get it. What really pisses me off is when you're getting shot at and you go behind cover. You still die and on killcam the bullet takes it sweet time to hit you and you die when behind the cover. That is all.

That's great, but it would be NICE to see them fix the glitches in single player. Seriously, dudes... fix them. I know you know what they are. Stop focusing on the MP and focus a little on the SP.

Not that sniping is a big problem in this one yet but I watched the replay theater of a match were some dude zooms in on me in under a half a second (randomly) the cross hairs no where near my "Hora" kills me in one shot... I know this will happen occasionally but it happend 6 times in the same match on Villa.
Sniping should be a skill gun not a magic bullet gun that you point in the general direction of the enemy, pull the trigger and they die. dumb
NAPoM9
why is it that i can hit a guy in the chest for a whole clip with an AK47U and the guy doesn't die on normal tdm, but yet he gets a 1/4 clip burst with a enfield and i die?????

i think they should come out with more zombies on black ops then 3 of em!!!!

Anyone who is sitting here complaining about the spawn system should just stop, nothing is going to be done because there is nothing to fix, people don't care about you camping out at your own spawn for awhile then getting killed by some one spawning right next to you, maybe move around for once and you'll notice that its not a big issue at all.

Spawning is definitely an issue. Can they also remove the option to select the map we just played on? I'm tired of playing Nuketown 4 times in a row.

Sometimes after I die my body falls through the ground. Another problem I have experienced is shortly after I set an RC-XD down it will fall through the ground and explode. These are really the only problems I have experienced so far....

Like people said, fix the spawning issue and maybe add some sort of preventative measure to stop modded controllers.
Oh and how about a map you can actually snipe on?

Before the fix I had a TON of problems joining games as a party. We tried like 10 times in a row and our party was unable to get into game without dropping everyone but the host. (on multiple days) Aside from that it generally took forever to locate a game.
Haven't played since the update to see if it truly is fixed, but good job Treyarch for showin us some love back.
boohoodman
all they have to fix is quick scoping and this game will be amazing

Spawns are always a problem in Call Of Duty since COD4, you just have to cope with it. But I think this is pretty fast for an update. Only a week after its release & it has an update. When was MW2's fist update? Like a month after launch?
BONERJAM
Now they just need to fix the spawns or just get ride of Nuketown. lol

I'm shocked at how many fixes they're doing, and how fast they're doing them. Good Job Treyarch

I've noticed the spawning bug (especially bad on nuke town) but the others i haven't seen...apparently there were quite a bit...damn treyarch don't put out such a buggy product...makes you look bad
Also, can they fix the glitch so that a dog bite doesn't kill you :)
