Development studio Treyarch has just issued a formal statement to all PlayStation 3 Call of Duty: Black Ops owners in which it talks about the recent issues that plagued the game since patch 1.04 went live, at the beginning of the week.

In case you don't know, the studio updated Call of Duty: Black Ops for the PS3 this week, but the 1.04 update brought even more issues than it solved.

More specifically, the game's online multiplayer mode was pretty much crippled by excessively long matchmaking times, lag and the fact that it caused the actual game to freeze or reboot the console altogether.

Gamers assaulted the PlayStation 3 section of the Call of Duty forums, so Treyarch community manager Josh Olin released a formal statement in order to quell down the angry customers.

According to Olin, a hot fix has been deployed, which fixes some of the issues encountered by players.

A full update is planned, and the whole development team is working hard on fixing all of the issues encountered by players.

"We are aware that many online players have been experiencing connectivity issues since Tuesday's patch. We have been working hard to track down the cause and fix them as quickly as we can. We've already updated the game with one "hot fix" since Tuesday's release that has improved many of those connectivity problems, and we've got more coming, so stay tuned."

"Forum feedback has been tremendously helpful. In fact, we've been on the forums, monitoring feedback and in a number of cases, working with community members directly, so please keep the feedback coming. In the meantime, know that we're committed to doing everything we can to support the best online experience, and we're working quickly to resolve this issue."

Olin also warns Playstation 3 Black Ops players to not follow a tip going around the web, which says that if you delete your save game data, the multiplayer will be improved.

Such a rumor is false and gamers shouldn't mess with the game's save data just for the sake of the multiplayer mode.

Has the hot fix generated any changes or is Black Ops' multiplayer still terrible on the PlayStation 3?

my son and i feel like we just paid 65.00 bucks to play zombies get booted after every round booted in middle of a match and when this happens you lose every point that you got.i put my battlefield bad company 2 in runs smooth like you are not even playing online so i am starting to check labels now and will think really hard about buying a game that treyarch has had a hand in you know they had to know they would have thousands of people online playing by all the preorders for the game.should not have this many problems knowing this.

they better fix it or im going to buy a xbox the game was clearly made for the xbox anyway i feel its some sort of conspiracy dreamed up by treyarch and microsoft to have people walk away from playstation and buy a xbox fix the * game already ps3 is a much more powerful faster system there are no excuses if anything ps3 should have the superior version but bill gates is obviously throwing his money around to ensure his quite inferior console comes out on top shame on you treyarch!!!

there is so much wrong with the game. the knife is garbage every time I go to knife someone I go right through them like a ghost and cant see them , and usually get shot in my back. The flash bangs and concussion granades are crap too they dont work. every time i use them the person has his arm over his eyes and there gun pointed to the ground and I still get shot that is bullsh#^. Treyarch is crap.

(JAN 3rd post patch 1.05) i mean no offence but who is this guy,you sound like a politcian fluffing his way through a grilling.my psslim was 6mnths old and never froze once until black ops was released,over the next few weeks it got worse until my system died. being under warranty i got a shiny new replacement...what,u might ask,is this to do with this thread,its a hardware problem yeah...simple,my BRAND NEW PS3,with a BRAND NEW copy of blops(changed that too) still displays the same 'problems'(CONSTANT hard freeze in game and loading(1game in 4hrs last night),connection interruptions,host migrations,not once have i played with my clan since nov 9,NOT ONCE).....with regards to your comment 'experienced by SOME users'.out of 90 odd people on my friends list,ALL who play blops experience the same(regular)'problems'. are those few unlucky users ALL on my friend list or is the problem more widespread i wonder. Treyarch and Mr Olin please stop insulting my and the communitys intelligence and give us some straight answers or correct the game because it SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK,your hard earned reputation is going down the toilet and you SEEM to be a bit too nonchalent about the whole affair...stop saying how much you care and show it...PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS...and once again,i mean no offence...tata
