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.
