Black Ops Fixes and Patches

honestly the one thing that drive me crazy is...When you hear the headshot DINK like 3 times and the person doesnt die...it should be how it was in every previous call of duty..Headshot = KILL... bottomline!

I know what you mean, if I have already hit the dude a couple times in the chest while working my way up to the head, he should be dead when I hear the DINK!

I think it would be cool to a have a Hardcore Mosh Pit like the one from Mw2. Or something like hardcore Demolition.

I want everyone to take a look at the updates. Patch 1.04 has some major fixes. Let's hope it completes Phase 3.

Issues Addressed:
• Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly.
• Additional measures to prevent the “Transmission error” and other disconnects. This was most likely to occur with large parties where party members had mixed NAT types.
• Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby.
• Addressed an issue with VOIP icons not appearing when USB headsets were plugged in prior to game launch.
• Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige.
• Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes.
• Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes.
• Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances.
• Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives.
• Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges.
• Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions.
• Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions.
• Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances.
• Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.

Gameplay Tuning:
• Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.
• Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.
• Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.
• Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.
• Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.
• Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.
• Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.

This is from the ps3 thread, I'm assuming it's pretty much the same for xbox.

I like the idea of limiting the reroll option to just care packages.

They listed all the fixes specific to each console and PC. Now they are sending to the Console Manufacturers for approval.

I Hope this is really going to affect the disconnection problems for me it occures nearly ever game i try and play at the moment. Its great that Treyarch are putting so much effort into fixing things.

[die laffn]

anyone else having problems with headshots?
it's like while you are shooting you hear a headshot/multiple headshot sounds but no kill?(this is not with a sniper rifle btw)

[jackass]

will we one time get wager match modes on splitscreen and combat training?

[Grimreaper905]

After all the updates are done and such I say they should focus all their attention on fixing the hit boxes.
