Call of Duty: Black Ops has just received a brand new patch on the PC platform, taking it to version 1.09 and is now available for download via Valve's Steam digital distribution service.

Call of Duty: Black Ops has broken sales records and is currently getting ready to receive the Escalation DLC pack on the PC and PlayStation 3 platforms, after the map pack was released at the beginning of the month for the Xbox 360.

In preparation for the DLC's release next week, Treyarch, the developer of Black Ops, has just announced that update 1.09 for the game is now available for download through Steam.

What's more, Josh Olin, the community manager of Treyarch, confirmed on his Twitter account that the PC mod tools for Black Ops are still on schedule to be released next week, before the end of this month, so users can expect more details about the mod tools in the following days.

Until then, check out the main changes in Call of Duty: Black Ops PC patch 1.09 below.

-Added support for mods in preparation for the upcoming tools release.
-Addressed various MP & Zombie exploits.
-Improved memory utilization in MP.
-Improved DLC filter in server browser - you can now hide any servers running content you do not own.
-Corrected issue which sometimes required repurchase of emblems or clan tags on weapons.
-Address some cases in which player could not receive Zombie invites.
-Replaced RPG with Grim Reaper in Gun Game Wager Match.
-Fine-tuned napalm and bombing-run damage indoors.
-Prevented rare invulnerability issue.
-Demolition bombs can no longer explode and be defused at the same time.
-Spy plane now activates in One in the Chamber in all cases.
-The "Sprint Kills" challenge for Steady Aim perk now rewards the player with the correct number of kills.
-Addressed a rare issue where a hacked camera spike would not function properly if the hacker also had a camera spike that was destroyed.
-Recording a clip with the speed mode for 2 cameras set to .1 will no longer increase in speed when switching perspectives back and forth.
-Improvements to Zipline functionality when viewed in Theater mode.
-Settings from custom games are all cleared and no longer carry over from one custom match to another.
-Nova gas will now affect players that are standing over their tactical insertion.
-Hardcore players who kill another teammate in Second Chance now lose the proper amount of points.
-Calling in a Chopper Gunner immediately after getting shot down in a Gunship will no longer end the Chopper Gunner run prematurely.

The Escalation DLC for Black Ops on the PC is scheduled to appear on June 2.

Man. The only thing I would appreciate is QuickScoping. Anyways, this update is good, but still, I would like Quickscoping to be enabled in Black Ops.

why dont you just put quickscoping on a patch because all you need is practice if you put quickscoping on it will also bring people to play black ops instead of mw2 just on the slight of hand pro take out except sniper rifles also people still find a way to quickscope but it would make it easier if you did that
