New Patches Arrive

Call of Duty: Black Ops updates.

A new patch has arrived on the Playstation 3 and PC. A patch for the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii is also in progress.

Treyarch are continuously working daily to fix any problems that may be ruining the Call of Duty: Black Ops experience for players and this is evident from the number of patches and hot fixes that have been released thus far.

A new patch has now arrived and we have all the details for you below, including what is currently live and what is in progress.

Issues Addressed:

The Xbox 360 patch is currently in Microsoft's hands and is awaiting approval, so expect it before or when the first Map Pack releases a week today. Although there's no detailed information of what will be in the Xbox 360 patch, expect it to be pretty similar to the Playstation 3's updates.

It's just a week until the new battlegrounds arrive first for Xbox 360 owners! With four new multiplayer maps and one new Zombie adventure, First Strike is sure to freshen things up. We've added some new screenshots to our Facebook page here » and yes, it includes a look at the Zombie map titled Ascension!

Treyarch Community Manager Josh Olin tweeted » yesterday that today would be a busy day and that we should "strap [y]ourselves in". What exactly does this mean? Who knows, but a Zombie trailer would certainly blow us away!

Definitely expect some new footage - even if just Multiplayer - this Thursday night as Gametrailers TV returns for 2011 with a look at the First Strike downloadable content. The promo for this episode can be seen here ».
