14 DAY TRIAL // Call of Duty: Black Ops has just received its seventh patch on the PlayStation 3 as well as the First Strike downloadable content pack.
Xbox 360 owners of Call of Duty: Black Ops have received the seventh patch at the beginning of the week.
Now, Treyarch, the studio behind the massively popular first-person shooter, has deployed the new update for the PlayStation 3 platform as well, taking the game up to version 1.07.
Check out some of the issues it solves below.
New Features: • Added the in-game store.
Issues Addressed: • Setting party privacy to “closed” now fully functions as intended. • Improved connectivity in matches containing multiple online split screen parties. • Calling in a Chopper Gunner immediately after getting shot down in a Gunship will no longer end the Chopper Gunner run prematurely. Required timing-specific button presses. • Split screen players are now able to change camera perspectives and cycle through players as a spectator. • Fixed rare infinite load for clients with slow connections who join on a friend at the end of a match as the final killcam is ending. • The name of a copied custom class no longer reverts back to the default after changing it. • Fixed a rare issue where gun sight lenses could appear opaque. • Addressed an issue where the most recent match played in Zombies could overwrite the best match played on the leaderboard. • Improved Zombies lobbies to prevent players from erroneously receiving the error “Unable to join game session” under certain circumstances. • Fixed rare infinite load that could occur in Zombies involving split screen parties accepting an invite into a Private Match. • Addressed a number of community-discovered Zombies gameplay exploits. • Additional security feature updates.
Gameplay Tuning: • Additional sniper rifle tuning.
Besides the new update, the studio has also launched the First Strike DLC map pack for the PlayStation 3 edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
The new DLC pack appeared already for the Xbox 360 at the beginning of February and was a timed exclusive for the Microsoft platform.
Now, PS3 gamers will be able to enjoy the four new competitive multiplayer maps and a new scenario for the Zombie cooperative mode.
The four new maps are Berlin Wall, Discovery, Stadium and Kowloon, while the Zombie map is called Ascension.
PC owners will have to look forward to the DLC at the end of the month or the beginning of April.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Patch 1.07 for the PlayStation 3 as well as the First Strike DLC is being deployed as we speak onto the PlayStation Network. Boot up your game when connected to the web and the update will be downloaded automatically, while the First Strike DLC is going to cost $15.
