Black Ops update out for PS3 and Xbox 360

4.3
The seventh best-selling game of all time in the US, Call of Duty: Black Ops, has received a title update addressing loads of issues and fine-tuning gameplay, including everything from party disbandment to “subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.” While the former is a morale-booster for the team, the latter is most definitely not.

To get the update, just make sure you’re connected to the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live the next time you boot the game up.

List of changes follows in read more.

Issues Addressed:



  • Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly.

  • Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby.

  • Addressed issue that prevented the “Load MP by Default” option from saving when other specific option combinations were set.

  • Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige.

  • Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes.

  • Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes.

  • Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances.

  • Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives.

  • Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges.

  • Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions.

  • Prevention of Gunship and Chopper Gunner failing to give player full control under rare conditions.

  • Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances.

  • Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.


Gameplay Tuning:



  • Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.

  • Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.

  • Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.

  • Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.

  • Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.

  • Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.

  • Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.

CODMW2HN69 Ruined the game, making a perk singly defined to one killstreak is almost to the stage of calling the company retarded. Tactical Mask is a perk that is used against 1 little not lethal grenade in the game that is very seldomly used. Now they are limiting Hardline Pro to Care Packages only. Woah hold up. Screw this. And I am sick of seeing people 15th prestige in the game with 200 games played that I ass-rape because they suck and hack

wrong. Care packages are random. Sam turrets are not. If this kept happening then you might as well have a care package at a 3 kill streak
(because sam turret=4-hardline=3 :D )
you shouldnt be able to think that when a sam turret pops up onto ur screen "ooooooh i might get dogs from this" lol :)

Armalite Does the quick scoping work?
. No but scoping is some Wat faster but it has a cupple of secs when you scope in it stopes you from getting hitting anyone even If thy are right infrount of you where you was garenteed at no scope kill it still stops you from hitting anyone until you ate fully scoped in
