Games : Call Of Duty - Black Ops Update ( Information In Many Console )

Treyarch has released a title update / patch for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops, whilst reading through the official changelog I stumbled upon details regarding problems which Treyarch’s developers are still working on.

If you check out this PS3 thread and this Xbox 360 thread on the Black Ops forums you can see official information regarding updates and fixes, if you scroll down you will see some fixes which are still in progress, you can see the in progress fixes below

• 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

To be honest with you I have not experienced any of the above problems in my 14 hours of mulitplayer gameplay, therefore it would seem as if the use of “rare conditions” and “very specific circumstances” is pretty justified.

We would love to hear whether you have experience any of the problems mentioned above, if so let us know in the comments section below.

Call of Duty Black Ops: PS3 Patch Update v1.03 Live – Problems Fixed?

have some good news for those of you with the PS3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, as can confirm that patch update v1.03 is now live and available to download the next time you boot up the game.

take our hats off to Treyarch for getting this update out fairly quickly after the PC patch, but there are no signs of the Xbox 360 patch yet.

What has been fixed? ll, if you head over to the official Call of Duty boards, you’ll see that Treyarch’s community manager has already given PS3 users a heads-up on what to expect in the ‘Title Update’ – as listed on the forums.

According to Treyarch, the patch will address matchmaking problems, trying to get into games with large parties, improvements to always select the best host where possible and ‘additional online security enhancements’ – wonder if that has anything to do with recent hacks that re found?

The update is live right now, download it for yourself and see if it fixes any problems that you have been having with the game. Below is a list of the changes according to the CoD boards:

11/17 (full title update)

CoD Black Ops Xbox 360: Patch / Title Update Live – List of Changes

The patch is pretty much identical to the PS3 Black Ops patch we spoke about earlier today, Treyarch‘s community manager JD_2020 recently tweeted this message “Xbox 360 and PS3 #CODBlackOps Updates are LIVE. Be sure to check your platform’s respective Sticky post on the forums: http://2020.vg/ahSVyp”, you can see his tweet here.

It looks as if Treyarch’s main concern was with the matchmaking, host selection and party system problems which people were reporting, that said they have also fixed a few flaws bugs and improved sounds.

have spoken to a friend of mine who was experiencing the same problem as me, he says that he has played Black Ops for an hour so since installing the update without any lag or connection issues, best of all his party of friends could join games without that annoying error message!

We would love your feedback on this matter, therefore turn your Xbox on, load up Black Ops and the title update should download and install, once installed give it a try and come back to let us know whether all problems have been fixed.
