COD Black Ops: Patch Update for Xbox 360, PS3, PC – What should they fix?

the load times for the menus, and the short freezing you get in menus as well on ps3

This is needed and hope they do it soon. Treyarch needs to work on its soon so they don't lose the faith of their customers. Myself, im just excited to play it and want to get in the game

I haven't found anything wrong with the Campaign mode yet. However, the servers they're using for PS3 multiplayer are just TERRIBLE. I've also heard reports of the same for 360 and PC. You think knowing the crowd the game will draw, they would be able to handle the stress, but nope. Right out of box on release day the lag was terrible. And day 2 has been even worse, with about 50% of matches lagging out. I can't really think of anything else in terribly dire need of a fix, probably because this problem is horrendous, but otherwise, Black Ops rules!

It keeps reseting my money wtf and after a huge game in which i leveled up twice from 8 to 10 the game lobby closed and reset my level to 8 wtf

is it me or do the graphics kinda suck? well there not as good as MW2s
im kinda dissapointed in this game they only worked on it for what a year? and they coulda spent a little bit more time on it. the online replayability isnt very high either!

BUT FIX THE GRAPHICS TREYARCH
Xbox and Ps3s!

Fix these ridiculous spawning issues… and please for the love of god PLEASE! add in a leaderboard that shows your overall kills and deaths and time played and score.. the most basic leaderboard stats are all missing and instead we have leaderboards for every other possible minor thing that NO ONE cares about whatsoever.

im taking it back if they dont fix it fuking soon, i havent played since i got it its been nothing but anoying laggy, and shit

Win streak or as it's labeled under combat record is totally wrong!! I went on a 6 game winning streak and it says my best sreak is 1 WTF!!! Patch is definitely needed!!

Constant connection problems.. too many loading screens that take too long.. especially when trying to join someones game or make a party only to be told that you cannot make the party. Menu freezes.. brought all the way back to the start screen wen trying to join a game then freezes.. always the “join” option even if player is at main menu.. to name a few.

Fix this transmission error bullshit

Did they try the PC-version even once before they released it?

Anyone else notice how in the promotional videos, the treyarch guy playing, they kinda sucked at the game? I think thats it. They just dont know what they're doing. Take a look at the minimum requirements. They're absolutely ridiculous. With a game like Crysis you can accept high requirements, but for a game of this standard? No, thats just poor programming.

Anyways, what im most curious about is when they're planning on releasing the patch. Will it take a week, a month? What? Anything more than 24 hours, counting from now, and ill lose the respect i had for Treyarch. Way to go from skyhigh expectations, to the rock-bottom reality.

game is shit, everything good about mw2 has gone, killstreaks are crap, player cutomization is crap, onlne its crap, are treyarch good at anything but ruining a good game? zombies are crap, special ops were much better and the graphics are crap compared to mw2. please treyarch dont make no more

The massive lag problem almost everyone is having!
Also the slow loading in areas such as create a class
The game is almost unplayable in this state

I have a brand new PC, with the only software installed is a fresh vista install, steam, cod and the latest drivers, my comp well exceeds required specs. and my Internet connection works perfectly, I've spent two days now doing tweaks that people are saying help including turning every graphics setting to the lowest and running on 800 x 600, changing steam settings, games settings, screwing with an epically long list of rewriting some script that should have been done right first time and plenty of other stuff thats kept me busy, but not a frigging thing works to get the game running like the cocky retard
D3ATH D3ALER claims (me thinks someone works for Treyarch), how do they legally release and sell a game they know is broken? how do they not test games b4 release? why did they not have a beta as if they have everything under control and sorted when the fucken thing hasn't been tested at release, they must be delaying the patch long enough so people cant take it back for a full refund because the game itself is pretty shit when its not crashing/lagging/Dc'ing/not connecting/and so on, ill be taking mine back, Treyarch claimed that this game is far more balanced than mw2 *SCOFF!!!! not at all, they claimed that people wouldn't be drop shotting with prone, FAIL, its like halo now with every retard bunny hopping about dodging everything spraying there SMG like rambo ffs. They seemed to have nerfed the fun not OP weapons, its still horribly unbalanced just boring and laggy now.

The Guns are zzzzzz same old, same old. Also the damage from some weapons seems to be really random, a full clip sometimes doesn't kill someone but other times two shots with the same gun to the legs drops them dead, i wasn't sure at first if it was just lag or some shit but after watching kill cams, testing it and talking to friends im sure they fucked up there guns damage system of something, and why did they ruin snipers so much? with any other scope than the acog you get random misses, even though it was a clear hit…. nothing…. no hitmarker… nothing, someone said it was put in intentionally to stop quick scoping, the idea being the bullet wont hit the target for a sec or two if fired directly after a scoping in, im not so sure if they would that retarded but i agree there is a prob with missing, even after scoping, zooming in and taking a breath i have copped this bug, was there any need to ruin the sniper class really? all the guns bar the single shot rifle are terrabad in so many ways, quick scoping was hardly OP, i cant think of once a quick scoper wiped out a whole team in S&D w/o it making onto youtube, 9 times out of 10 i and most people can smash a sniper with most guns if he isn't camping/see's me first, and now Quickscoping/run and gun sniping is gone guess where all the fucken snipers are, yep in a bush or in some corner somewhere, picking people off, GG retards, it took time and skill to learn how to QS and added options for fun different types of game play. Bad game is bad. Bad developers are worse.

PC games are getting worse and worse, its a mission each time a new one is released to get it working, hours spent googling different errors, scrolling through forums hoping for a fix, i returned MOH quickly for the same reason and sadly looks like will be doing the same with this P.O.S., Bring on Crysis 2 i suppose and lets hope they have a beta and some testing b4 realease

The lag that was generated with so many users being online when MW2 first came out should have been a clue that a certain company needs to expand and upgrade their servers prior to releasing Black Ops. If you had serious issues before, why would you want unhappy customers again?

After playing for two days, I have to say that the game is awesome. The graphics are excellent, the guns are sweet, and the amount of customization that you can do to your guy and weapons is a nice addition. I would suggest adding a (new weapons, new care packages, and other upgrades) package that can be purchased and downloaded to further enhance the quality of the game in the near future similar to the map packs. MW2 was lacking some additional weapons and care packages which would just keep gamers further entertained in the game.

Just my 2 cents. I'd give the game 5 STARS!

omg laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fix so Black Ops Start to work on Steam!!!!!!!!!!!!

all they have to do to fix the game is write "beta" on it.

Problems with the PC are LAGGGGG and, seriously? we have to leave the server just to change a class? MAKE it like MW2 NO LAG AND GOOD INGAME

Lag and bring back hardcore headquarters! And kill streak kills should count towards next kill streak!

I would say their priority is to sort out the ps3 freezes before the lag as at least some can still play online as my system freezes at least once every two deathmatches and have to reset the bloody ps3.

Am gonna keep playing mw2 till it’s sorted:(

i cant play zombies on line keep getting error the game session is no longer available i be back to wld at war soon

Fix the frame rate on ps 3 and the lag ( frame rate is a joke mutiplayer and single player it`s all over the place

I returned my copy of the game after completing single player. For multi-player based game it is just awful

lag/connection and spawns.

they should combine flackjaket with tactical mask and instead of flack jaket add something like a bulet proof vest for less bullet damage except in head shots and knifes….. just saying …. i want juggernaught back and if they spread it out over 2 perk spots it would be more balanced

The menu absolutely sucks. It takes forever to load if your lucky that it wont glitch Scavenger perk doesn’t let you replenish claymores. The server is the biggest problem. I got all excited for the release of this game just to get irritated at the game play. I’m just going to play mw2 for a while until they get their sh&t together. At least in mw2 I can’t join into a friends match right away. Clearly not the case with black ops. After waiting for a minute just to get a server full error. I waste more time trying to play the game then actually playing it. The only good thing I can say is I like the maps.

Does anyone think that it may be time we assembled an angry pitchfork & flaming torch wielding mob, hell bent on retribution ?
i for one would deff be into that !

ps, if you dont have a pitchfork a lump of wood with a couple of nails in it will work just as well.

where do treyarch live anyway ?

ok soo treyarch is the dumest comany i seen ..hear me out …ok the campaign was great had no problems the zombies where cool especially dead ops but the main thing here is thats it i have no high speed internet and i have bin very exited for combat training and they said it was offline and not require a connection i have learn that there is combat training but only in multiplayer so you can play Ai bots instead of playing online but why did they put it in multiplayer where you need internet and that mode has nothing to do with internet ….fix that shit

fix unable to connect to a match , fix the respawning issues, final kill cams need the victory music….i like this game…make me love it please

Before releasing this game they should have actually done some Quality Assurance testing on it to make sure you can actually PLAY THE GAME TO THE END… On the LAST mission it freezes in the same place EVERY time… What kind of STUPID people release that to the public? Perhaps those who just want the cash and beg forgiveness later when they finally decide to patch it!?
I used to work in software development. If I put this type of production problem out I would have been fired!
Treyarch you people are absolute idiots. Those who read my comment and want to slam ME for being unkind to Treyarch you just keep in mind that you have become SO USED to crap being released and then patched that you think that is normal! That ISNT how its supposed to be… Good thing Treyarch doesnt have me working there. I would have fired a huge chunk of that development team a while ago and hired people who know what the heck they are doing.

It would be splendid if the lag on PC was fixed and as i read i see that scripting in the game is very weak.Makes me wonder… how much do treyarch care about PC community ? It all began here and it all should be FIRST here!

The PC version has bugs that make it unplayable. The GPU hitching is terrible — I think for the Nvidia GeForce 400 series video cards, especially.

Given the announced system requirements, I know my rig should be able to handle the campaign smoothly at max settings. It's a bad port, I think. The GPU usage is low, and the CPU usage is unusually high — sometimes reaching near 90% on all four cores and eight threads! The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions aren't half as bad, though.

As usual, the COD franchise allots the biggest shaft for PC gamers. Oh well.

Single player problem??…. I got to mission 3 or 4 after I got Reznov and intel. Shoot and support the APC and when Wood and I push the door and the car explodes….. I'm in a "dark room" and must "walk, crawl"?? about 10M….. What the hell? I cant get out? Is this a puzzle? or just so crap that I lost all graphics? My system far exceeds the minimum specs?
Can anyone help? or say whats wrong?

This game blows. I play on xbox and am lagging in every game along with almost everyone else in the lobby… Thats not all.. Ive got a lil list of what makes this game so crappy: 1. Graphics blow butthole. 2. Treyarch not only destroyed quickscoping (which shouldnt have been done in the first place… Idiots) but they completely destroyed sniping all together, sniping is so bad right now that it needs to either be; un-patched (it was perfect before they patched it…) or taken out of the game entirely. There are only two explanations as to why treyarch would take quickscoping out of the picture, one its over powered (its not, unless youre a raging noob because u got scoped all the time in mw2 cuz u suck) or two treyarch wants fewer people jumping off buildings and doing 360s everywhere during snd…. So treyarch instead makes snipers sit wayyyyy in the back of the map, not helping their team by staying there all game trying to steady their scope across the map, missing all oppurtunities because of slow scope in? Good job guys. Youve solved nothing. 3. Is their seriously no footstep or planting noises?… I payed 200 dollars for headphones and i cant hear someone sprinting at me from 15 feet away unless their fckn character makes a grunting noise or reloads? Fix that… Now… 4. Im just gonna mention lag again because its so crappy… Just stop failing at everything and get your s*** together treyarch!

Oh, another thing is, when Im invited or I invite friends, we cant connect, keeps saying the game is no longer active or theres a connection error. Trust you me, its NOT on my end.

the spawning is the worst thing about this game it gets so frustrating having a horrible k/d ratio because people pop up everywhere and you can't watch your back there will be someone in front of you and if their not in front of you there in back of you.. i almost feel bad killing people when i spawn behind them

they need to fix the conection ,lags ,spawnpoints and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ONLY THREE HARDCORE GAME MODES ARE YOU INSANE BRING HARDCORE HEADQUATERS BACK

I believe they should make the bot training mode offline, with up to four players on one system. Being in Iraq, I know it is impossible to get te system online, and the bot moe is what all of us wanted, aside from killing each other, lol.

fix the lag on every system when you go to pick a class when you select you have to wait like a whole 3 seconds before taking you back to the game not including the lag when shooting and with the sniper rifles, and the party system need to work every-time any of my friend on either platform want to play with me and we try the whole party thing all it does is kick them 90% of the time… that's real stupid considering the whole game rose to fame based of the rich multi-player and party oriented gaming you could look forward to like no other title like call of duty

the lags shocking connection issues are terrible get in 1 group of players n i can almost guarantee it will kik the host and doesnt find another to finish off the game . The worst of all is i cant party up with my friends no matter what i do try thinkin about all these issues in future treyarch a delayed release date wud b better knowin all the bugs are fixed

Get back my money

footsteps

THE LAG!

we need Quickscoping back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

where can i download the ******* patch

Fix the goddamn lag on the PC multiplayer! >_<

If u have the grenades launcher attachment u need to be able to put sights or something else on with it so it wont be better

they can never fix or patch stupidity, steam will never work for pc gamers and game makers are just using the same shitty console graphic code over and over. with 80% of the market now rich children on consoles that will buy anything, game makers are loving it

PLEASE FIX THE "the game is no longer active" error when trying to log in or host a zombie game online. It's completely unplayable for many of us as is, and thats the main reason I got the game =(

Just please fix it! this is an actual bug not just a wish list item.

Patch that Spawning up treyarch or as of today (which i am doing) i will go back to playing MW2, getting into games no problem, not sitting waiting looking at my tv for 1 3/4 hours hoping to play online with my mates in a party, having to go into party chat (no banter with other players in the lobbies) because you never quite know who is in who is out ? are you all in the game ? are you on your own (without party chat you cant hear people pre-game start), people shooting you across the map with seemingly one bullet in final kill cams on NORMAL or HARDCORE TDM's WTF is that about, People using AIMBOT when they said they would not allow hackers to ruin this game as they tryed to ruin MW2, some games you play (without spyplane's or perks) people know EXACTLY where you are ALL the time!!!

Black ops multiplayer just keeps getting jammed on my pc, no matter what i do to my settings. I even think the game worked better before the first patch… Sometimes I also get a "fatal error" and my whole pc jams… But the problem isn't in my hardware (intel i7, 1gb graphics, 4gb ram…)

The lag on PS3 is very bad.

FIX THE MULTIPLAYER LAGG PLS SO IRRITATING

i want to be able to edit local matches.

A patch isnt it what it needs a whole new release.
The game is a joke…..it sold 13 million on hype…in 8 months as is you be lucky to see 500k online over a week.
So whats wrong;
1) The 'bullet lag' is awful (Not sure why it has the bullet name, its actual a communication lag). This varies from 0.3 seconds up to 1.8 seconds (Which is disgusting). There are plenty of videos out there of this.
2) Knife lunge range needs reducing to 5 inches instead of 5 metres… in fact remove the knife completely…
3) Hit area is completely crap.. half the time the shots miss by about 3 feet and still kill, many end kill cams cause some amount of embarressed laughing.
4) Completely missed shots. This vaires from game to game but god its bad a whole clip into someone and nothing. I n a good game 3 bullets they dead.
5) Spawning….
6) Weapon ranges….how about making range actually matter…using a smg to shoot the length of array and kill pathertic really. the 500m accurate UZI.
7) bouncing tomahawks…wtf Increased objective xp and reduce kill xp for objective games (Inluide obejectives in killsreak calculations like MOH that was a good touch)
NO SKILL MATCHING……………..85% of players in a game only to feed thje ego's of the 15% its like a go kart raicing up against F1 drivers sometimes.

Good effort but if everything was the same and you removed COD from the title this would be getting 2 out of 5 at best…..fanboi reviews 5 out of 5 my a***. Disgusting reviewrers giving this top marks when its clearly broken. Especially the so called top online review sites etc. shameful spanners.
The trade in price has already fell below MOH and BFBC2 in my local store…£13. Thye say a boat load are being traded……
Hopefully future patches will fix it all and a great fps will emerge but atrm….
