PS3 Users Hold On, Black Ops Patch Incoming Says Treyarch

The Call of Duty: Black Ops PC patch has already been released, fixing various problems with the game.

A PS3 patch is on the way according to Treayarch:

“Hey PS3 gamers, we are listening to you and we’ve been busy working on updates based on feedback from the community.

“We have already deployed a number of updates, and there will be many more to come. Stay tuned right here for all the latest info.”

Here are the details of what’s been sorted already and what’s in the works:

Live fixes
– Villa: User can clip into rock at west edge of grid zone B2 and see through to the other side
– Crisis: User can clip into LVT between grid zone A3 and B3 and see through to the other side
– User can get an infinite number of ‘Sam Turret’, ‘Care Package’ and ‘Sentry Gun’ killstreaks (commonly referred to as the “care package glitch”)
– Radar sweep when there are only 2 players left in One in the Chamber will stop functioning if the 2 players have multiple lives when the sweep starts
– Crash when viewing content (films, clips, etc) in the Community & Recent Games menu
– Users’ rank and stats can get wiped under very specific conditions
– Online number counts were not updating properly; these are now reporting exact online numbers
– Parties getting disbanded when host did not find a match quickly

In progress
– Improved matchmaking to find matches faster
– Improved match and host selection; will result in much better networking conditions for all games (a.k.a., decreased lag)
– Weekly and Monthly leaderboards stats reporting incorrectly for kills, deaths and assists (All Time leaderboard not affected by this)
– Additional improvements to party system
