So the long awaited and much needed patch for Treyarch’s Call Of Duty: Black Ops went live less than a day ago now, and while it was one of those few situations where players actually were WAITING for a fix, they were absolutely gutted to discovered first hand that 1.04 made things worse. At the moment the reports of complaints are only coming back about the PS3 version, but it seems that this ‘major’ update has caused even more problems than we originally had to deal with, and now it’s hard to see what they were even patching in the first place.
I have a huge amount of respect for Treyarch and what they’ve managed to achieve with the game, despite a huge amount of critical stigma, but let’s get this straight; a patch is supposed to address the issues that are lurking about in the game, iron out those little creases and put a tight and clean seal around it all. The main problems with Black Ops at first were the frame rates issues, the faulty party system, and the muted headsets. Admittedly the frame rate thing was dealt with rather quickly, but the other two were desperately in need of 1.04 (aside from multiple but small niggles).
Now that it has arrived, complaints have been describing that the party function still doesn’t work reliably, and that a group will get piled into a room with someone missing, some apparently in the lobby but not showing their names and so on. Other reports say that the PS3 is actually freezing mid game even more frequently now, with the connection error message coming up, closely followed by your console crashing. Headsets are getting muted out randomly in matches (although seems to pop up more from what we have been told, in team tactical lobbies the most?) and for some reasons you can’t mute players in the pre-lobby anymore. Oh and who among you has seen the “chessboard screen” as unhappy users are calling it. It is an orange and white chequered pattern that glitches onto the matchmaking background image, if you leave a game under certain conditions.
That’s quite worrying considering that now Treyarch have to go back and undo the patch, or patch the patch? Then start again to fix it properly. From what they tell us it requires a lot of work and time to make an update, which I completely respect. However I would rather the patch came out a week later if it was going to get the job done once and for all.
Activision and Treyarch have said they are looking into what went wrong. We’ll keep you updated.
Come on Treyarch, don’t ruin it now. I know! Can my Christmas present be that Black Ops will work perfectly for a week? Thanks.
We all know that the irritation comes from the fact that the game would be so good if their weren’t all these little issues to contend with. Sigh..

It would be really nice to see all the problems fixed with the holidays coming up with all the kids off of school. It seems that treyarch is just having a lot of probably fixing issues with this game.I played this for the first two weeks it was out then I quit playing and haven't played it since because of all this issues.I am glad to see that they are gonna take a deeper look at this instead of just putting out another patch that doesn't do anything.

This was a good read, but you know what's going to happen after all the kids-grown ups get there copy of BLACK OPS for X-MAS there going to have one big massive complaint storm for those few who don't know what's going on with the PS3 version all the complaining will start all over again. I haven't had any problems with my mic "accept not showing up" I use Trittons and last night it kept muting me I couldn't hear any sound just a bunch of B.S. like I said before 3ARC takes 2 STEPS FORWARD AND 3 STEPS BACKWARD!

I find it funny how treyarchs excuse was "it's your Internet." And now they finally understand. Pretty ignorant if you ask me, that means they really didn't test it and even though thousands of people complained they still thought there was nothing wrong with there game, it was just our connections...

Lol when I played BO on my friends PS3....I got knocked out of so many games and the game looked all glitchy with codes and would freeze. This was on patch 3...patch 4 **** thinking about playing online I cant even join a TDM. Im glad I have an xbox cause if I owned a PS3 and spent $150 on something I cant play....I would be one pissed off mother fu****.
Treyarch had a chance to redeem the Cod title from IW and failed on the PS3 side. They need to get their sh*t together b4 xmas....alot of kids is going to be all squeaky online lol...
