Call of Duty: Black Ops is being patched on the Wii

Treyarch is continuing the patching process for its latest game, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and has just revealed that a new patch for the Nintendo Wii version of the game will be released today.

Call of Duty: Black Ops was the biggest game to be released this year, and has broken sales records around the world, not only for video games but also for movies or books, dominating the entertainment medium.

Now, after multiple patches released for platforms like the PC, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, Treyarch has just revealed that a patch for the Nintendo Wii will go live in the next few hours.

"We are listening to you and continue to work on updates to the game based on your feedback. Our first update is now complete and will be available within the next 24 hours!" revealed the studio on the game's official forums.

A Wii Shop Channel account is necessary in order to access the new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops.

According to the company, players will be prompted with the update when they start the multiplayer mode, and must download it if they want to keep playing.

If you're already in the multiplayer mode, Treyarch recommends switching to single-player and then restarting the online mode.

The update won't appear if you're playing the Zombies mode, however.

Here are some of the fixes implemented in the new patch.

o Unable to connect to multiplayer without switching profiles
o Freezes during matchmaking when using the LAN adapter
o Players were sometimes kicked out af a game right before it started
o Changes to custom controls and options were not saving correctly (“Unbound glitch”)
o Wager match specific bug in Radiation that caused dead players to teleport
o Fixed "care package glitch" where player could get infinite number of 'Sam Turret', 'Care Package', and 'Sentry Gun' killstreaks

A new error has been spotted, according to the studio, which displays the "an error occurred while connecting to the server" message, which will be fixed as soon as possible.

The patch hasn't made that much difference. I still had to wait nearly an hour to join a game last night. Starting to get really pee'd off with it. treyarch were happy to take peoples money for a game that they should never have released without testing fully first

Well, was playing it just fine, then Thanksgiving weekend came, it told me i needed to update becuase to go to the next level (pay to play kind of crap), couldnt the upgrade on wii store, bought some warfare shooter thing there thinking this is what i needed. The game let me play for another couple of days, then nothing but "unable to connect to black ops server". NOT HAPPY

These patches or updates that treyarch made were very good in my opinion. I just want to know when the first strike map pack is coming out for the wii or if it ever will come out for the wii. Anyway good job on the patches treyarch.

People wondering about First Strike it is said that it may be out for Wii in april or may and for those of u wondering with the latest patches the Havana out of map glitch has been fixed. You can still get on the counter but after patch i tried it and ceased to work. Black Ops RULES!


Comment #21 by: Coolitic/Crazygunner on 28 Mar 2011, 21:42 UTC reply to this comment

I know the wii will explode if there was 2 controlers, but, they could lower the graphics ( specificly the renderer) level in wich 2 controllers can be used, if not 4.

Comment #24 by: big boii on 14 May 2011, 23:22 UTC reply to this comment

Comment #25 by: ChiiChii on 24 Jul 2011, 15:57 UTC reply to this comment

Okay... I want to play Zombie mode online and it tells me to launch multiplayer for a required update so that I can play online. Where the #$%* is the update? I've been sitting here 30 mins waiting for something to happen just so I can play online. This s%^# is really annoying. WTH is the required update anyway?

Comment #31 by: [SCK]meatbeast on 10 Dec 2011, 06:26 UTC reply to this comment

So I have black ops and I've been off line for a while (my wii broke) and I got and I have never had problems with the Internet log on and what not like some of you seem to have. It asked me to update and I did but I tried some of my glitches on zombies and I couldn't do some so I was wondering if any one could tell me what was changed In the new update it's 12-9-11 today so if you could help that would be cool. Also the actule odds of them making bonus maps for the wii is very slim because now mw3 is out and it will be getting all the attention.


Comment #32 by: ng on 02 Feb 2012, 20:45 UTC reply to this comment

can't connect to multiplayer on the wii....it just keeps saying connecting and doesn't do anything....have other people had this problem? how did you fix it?

Comment #32.1 by: repoman1351 on 07 Feb 2012, 09:01 GMT
