Black Ops Patch 1.03 Issues

Today Activision released the Black Ops patch 1.03 for the PS3 to counter all the problems associated with Call of Duty: Black Ops. Unfortunately the PS3 version of Black Ops is very substandard in comparison to that running on an Xbox 360. There have been numerous lag problems, disconnects, transmission errors, matchmaking issues, party problems and other things that the Black Ops patch 1.03 intended to fix.

Yeah its bullshit. Fuck you Treyarch for a half assed job. Its such a shame cause the game has alot of potential to be epic.

[Close_Second]

I agree 100% however, how many Lemmings will be lining up to buy the next COD game on PS3 next year?

This game was over priced and under cooked. Activision have a looooong way to go to earn back my trust.

[WhittO]

ye, I think this game needed another 6 months of development..

This is what happens when you try and rush a COD game out EVERY year Activision.

[Bathyj]

Meh, all the issues seem to be online.

Doesnt concern me.

I feel bad for you guys thou.

[rdgneoz3]

The main reason to get it is for the online...

[P1NKY]

I never really had many problems on the PS3 version before the patch and since the patch I've had even less problems. My connection has always been at least 3 green bars so I don't know what everyone's complaining about. None of my friends are having problems either.

[elmaton98]

You're an idiot for writing a half ass comment like that

[elmaton98]

You're right fuck them but still is not their fault cause m$ is paying activison so they can get a better version in their system fuck acti and fuck m$ I hope they go bankrupt soon so they can sell the ip to someone else who really cares about they're customer

[cyborg6971]

Go read the forums on black ops in the 360 section and you will find those issues aren't just on the ps3 doushey writers.

[rebirthofcaos]

well I played today, at least the zombie mode and didnt have any of those problems.

psn id:amvient

[scar20]

There's a rumor that microsoft paid activision to make the ps3 version inferior i can't find the article but if someone does post it it would be greatly appreciated.

Let the agrees and disagree begin.

[irish-leprecaun]

i would believe that mate. if they really cared they would use dedicated servers.

[GoldPS3]

I believe it. Microsoft and Activision are American companies and I think they both hate Sony. Just wait and see COD will be exclusive to 360. If not this gen then next.

[Cevapi88]

i highly doubt that...the CoD series started out on the pc...if Activision were to do that, then MS would need to have VERY DEEP pockets in order to offset all the sales from the PC and PS3 community...plus if they did do that, these fan bases will feel alienated and pissed off, probably leading to boycotts of Activision's other products

[wsoutlaw87]

i dont think so. that would definitely be a bad business decision. There there to make money not piss off fans

[soundslike]

w00t conspiracy!

its not like they would have to actually directly make it inferior either, they could port it directly without off-loading anything on the cell and claim they maxed it out...

[Pillage05]

Comming from a ps3 user...you're very paranoid dude.

[chazjamie]

How did you come to that conclusion?because the game was badly ported? The online issues is shared by all three platforms. The only thing that is pseudo-clear is the dlc. If your conspiracy is true then microsoft should be broke by now, considering the fact that the majority of multiplatform games run better on the 360.

[elmaton98]

They do because they program the game on 360 first (which is logical) and then porting to the PS3 (BTW is easier to program a game on 360 based on the hardware which is old and programmers knows it )

[Lovable]

The zombie mode didn't have any problem at all, but the multiplayer is plague with disconnection, lag(believe it or not there weren't any lag before the patch)and freezing.

[user858621]

Ouch... Major Burn!!

[Ace_Pheonix]

This article fails. It's purely based on speculation. I downloaded the patch and haven't had any problems, played for a few hours already. And Ninja Pro is perfect in my opinion, I can hear players just as I could hear someone walking down my hallway. Not to mention the 360 version is just as buggy as the PS3 version. And that talk of Live having dedicated servers is total horse shit. You're not paying for dedicated servers, you're paying so Microsoft can give your money to Activision to get all the DLC a month early to get you all to pay Microsoft instead of play for free and wait a month.

[scar20]

They said only you can hear your footsteps with ninja pro but your enemies can't.And it's true i tried it with my bro in a private match and he couldn't here my footsteps only i could.

[Ace_Pheonix]

Huh, with my Ninja Pro equipped I don't hear ANYTHING from me. I make a sound when I reload, but I don't hear my footsteps at all. Makes it much easier to hear others around me. I have a Tritton Ax Pro, works like a champ.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

Black Ops has been running smooth for me ever since the patch...

[Organization XII]

you should probably test the multiplayer mode

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

I'm talking about the multiplayer... Why would I be talking about the story mode if the patch is related to multiplayer fixes?

[StoneyYoshi]

would be so much easier if they used all this money that they made from all these damn cod games they would make dedicated servers like bfbc2. or killzone 2 and soon to be 3.

[swat]

yes since the patch there is no lag but more disconnects and transmission errors

[Relientk77]

Fucking fix it this is BS ... my PS3 died today and my friend texted me today his died too

like wtf

Fix Black Ops

edit: Also fix our PS3s

[gamesaregood]

Sold me copy yesterday downloaded Killzone 3 beta last night and I have never had so much fun with only one map.

RIP COD.

[Relientk77]

If the map was Nuketown u wouldnt be having fun lol

[HDgamer]

You better use gopher mods to get it fixed for cheap then get the protection plan from sony.

[Relientk77]

has ur PS3 ever died, did u use this gopher mods?

[---stone---]

Fuck you Activision/Treyarch/Call of Duty:Black Ops U R DRUNK!

[TacoBurrito]

Im on the 360 version of BO right now and im in matchmaking and its taking FOREVER to find a freekin match

[Errod88]

you can do local only in the party privacy i do that for my PS3
and always find match within second.

[HDgamer]

Got the ps3 version and still the only problem I see is campers.

[SpitFireAce85]

And guess what this game is the only game that will get
away with all this crap if it was another game/franchise
it would get killed by the media and gamers...

Here is the PS3s Community Update/fixes

And here is the 360s Community Update/fixes

http://www.callofduty.com/b...

[---stone---]

Hey PS3 gamers/Hey 360 gamers,

We are listening to you and we’ve been busy working on updates based on feedback from the community. We have already deployed a number of updates, and there will be many more to come. Stay tuned right here for all the latest info.

lmao @ and there will be many more to come.

Bobby Kotick and Treyarch probably sit around laughing and the word broke is only associated with "the only thing about <insert current CoD game here> is the broke people that cant afford it"

Bobby and JD are pissed at the CoD community for calling out the laundry list of bugs, so much so their going to slip on some tighty whities, grab bad minton rackets and start clubbing baby animals.

How dare they take the profits from Black Ops to pay people to "fix" it. The outrage!!

[Sukebe_Gamer]

I just got done playing with my friends (party of six) and got kicked from the lobby several times. lag seems to be a little better tho.

[Thoreau]

i may retire-southpaw79-psn

the lag is too bad and i have never experienced lag this bad on any earlier cod game. treyarch truly did an inferior job on black ops as compared to codmw2 and codwaw. i cannot believe the series is actually regressing.........

[DirtyLary]

Xbox version was just as bad tonight. Quit my play session do to lag.

[Bolts]

Its not just the PS3. On the PC this game is an epic fail. Most PC users can't even play without experiencing massive lag in multiplayer and incredibly piss poor frame rates and stuttering in singleplayer.

The shocking thing about all this is that we're talking about a game and engine that PC gamers usually rip through at full 1080p X8 AA and 80 FPS. Yet for some reason the hacks at Trey managed to break one of the most bug free engine on the PC upon release.

[Elvfam511]

Before this damn patch i never had lost connection... Really Treyarch? How you go backwards on fixing the problem?

[ton77]

TacoBurrito

i find matches fairly quickly. its not so bad on 360 compared to what it was when it was released. best cod to date i say its not noob friendly

[Sizzon]

Treyarch needs to fucking fix this bullshit, I couldn't play a single match yesterday so I ended up gaving up on the damn game, it's frustrating as fuck when you all the time get party problems, connections interrups, lag...

[raztad]

After reading all these comments a thing popped in my mind:

You all paid $60 to be beta testers.

[Organization XII]

hahaha for sure my friend for sure, and activision just made hundreds of millions because of this piece of shit they gave to people..

thats one epic avatar btw, killzone for the fucking win
fuck you activision

[Toman85]

I got into PSN Plus to test the almighty Killzone 3, its damn much better than COD BO online, and still KZ3 is in beta haha, that is BS!!!! And I have COD BO.....

[Akth8r]

KZ3 is a solid shooter, after playing the Beta i turned off my ps3, went down to game and bought KZ2 (For £10 its worth more than COD:BO even at that price), i played KZ2 before but never got into multiplayer until KZ3 Beta.

EDIT : I've got the PS3 version of COD:BO and i've not experienced any major problems so far, finally got to play wager games with friends. Only problem concerning me is the weird screen glitch on the menu(Don't know how to describe it)

[Scotland-The-Brave]

checkered flag? or theres the matrix menu glitch.

[Akth8r]

Yeah matrix is a good way of describing it.
