14 DAY TRIAL // Treyarch has finally decided to release a patch for the Nintendo Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, fixing plenty of issues encountered by players, but declined to comment on whether or not the First Strike map pack is going to arrive on the platform.
Treyarch has been supporting its Call of Duty: Black Ops title on the large platforms like the PC, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, but the Nintendo Wii version hasn't really received much love.
Now, the studio is trying to make amends, and has released a hefty patch for the Wii version of Black Ops, bringing a big amount of fixes to the title.
Check out some of the most important changes in the new Black Ops Wii update below.
- Fixed issue where players were taking damage from falls with Light Weight Pro equipped - Fixed an issue where leader board would go into hang state if the user has 50+ allies - Enemy turrets now glow when the hacker pro perk is equipped - Team mates who are in your party will show up as blue on your mini map - Improvements made in the matchmaking service - Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige. - Flak Jacket Pro will now protect against napalm strikes - Contracts will now reset when a player prestiges - Melee attack radius has been optimized - Spawn points have been adjusted in Havana - this should prevent the spawn killing in the Demolition game type - Player can no longer load the thunder gun manually - Matches PS360 functionality - Zombies Melee damage has been adjusted to match PS360 behavior - Fixed issue where the player can complete "The Shortcut" challenge by climbing down a tall ladder - Improved Zombie pathing.

Treyarch declined to talk about the release of any new content for the Wii version of Black Ops, specifically the First Strike map pack which was already released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and is getting ready to be launched on the PC.
"Many people are also asking about DLC on the Wii," Treyarch said on the game's official forums. "There is still no information on any potential DLC for the Wii, but we will be sure to update this space once there is. Thank you for your patience."
