Black Ops Patch 1.05 Doesn’t Satisfy Many PS3 Players

Early this morning, Treyarch and Activision released Patch 1.05 to correct the pressing problems affecting the PS3 version of CoD: Black Ops.

Patch 1.05 was designed to fix many of these issues…but PS3 owners are still not satisfied and many claim the problems still exist.

[CrzyFooL]

Seriously.

[DavidMacDougall]

Yeah i got a couple of games but 3 times in a row it tried to find a host in the middle of a game? Then crashed my PS3, what a joke!

Then there was the weird thing that i couldnt make a party, every invite to my friends was an error, took 10mins to get 3 of us together.

[blitz0623]

I'm trading in my copy soon. CoD was never my cup of tea, but I thought to give this one a shot, but all it did was just confirmed that I really didn't like CoD. What a waste of money

[Pixel_Enemy]

I am glad I didn't waste my money on this crap game on release. I mean its the same thing year after year and after so many games using the same damn formula they still can't get it right? I will probably end up getting a used copy after Christmas since all of my friends are getting it for Xmas, I just hope its fixed by then..

[visualb]

but but guys...

"its your NAT settings...srsly"

[I_find_it_funny]

this is f&*king ridiculous !!!!!!!!

who programmed this thing? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ?!?!

I didn't buy it, as Cod is not my thing, but I feel bad for my fellow ps3 gamers, who are SCREWED by Treyarch and Activision, those dumb f&*ks designed the game for XBL, and then ported to PSN, but hey those are different networks and shit doesn't work same way you lazy sellout bastards.
It's not minor problems, it's GODDAMN UNPLAYABLE, I call this a theft, they stole people's money saying it's a good game, and thats obviously not true

Yay for Bad Comapny 2 and DICE

and guess what next Call of duty will be exactly same thing, why even bother with ps3 version you f&*king sellouts

[LoVeRSaMa]

At lest my PlayStation does not restart when I try and quit the game after it fails to load into a game..

*Sigh*

How dare they.

Edit:
Its not like they have been using the exact same engine since 2007, they have barely changed anything, yet they can't even get the multi-player as good as COD 4 which was released in 2007.

WHAT A JOKE.

[SeanRL]

Cool, maybe you guys shouldn't have bought it then.

[danmachine]

the best advice i can give to people having problems is to trade it in and buy Bad company 2 along with the vietnam dlc.

you will be alot happier.

[SnukaTheMan]

Bullcrap....forget it if you want to trade it....I had many problems selling it used because people have to buy a online multiplayer pass....I say forget them and just go with killzone 2 or even mag...

[Soldierone]

Yes because EA is the devil for getting what is theirs, its Gamestop that didn't work a deal with the developers to give a percent of the profits of used sales to them. The money belongs to EA, blame Gamestop for stealing it and making it a problem.

Not like Gamestop selling used games and new prices can't afford that.

[The_Claw]

@SnukaTheMan a online pass is NOT required to play BC2 online. the vip pass gives you access to extra maps, but is not in the least bit required. However if you decide to buy it used, you can get a vip code on ebay for super cheap. I recommend buying a used copy through gamefly. Its only $20 bucks right now and comes with a vip code.

[darksied]

Completely agree. I got BC2 for the PC for super cheap (like 10 bucks on the EA store on sale). I hadn't played a competitive pc shooter since UT 2004, so it took a bit of time to get back into it :) But I can honestly say that I'm enjoy it, where I always had a pre-conceived notion and assumed I would hate all of those "army shooters" (bad company, socom, CoD). The game is really fun though, and this is the first time I have bought DLC for a game (Vietnam).

I would recommend everyone to give it a try, especially since you can get the game for cheap now, even used.

[Anarki]

That video made me rofl xD

[Bull5hifT]

I have this weird problem where the main menu goes soooo friggen slow... Ill record it and post it on youtube , when i delete the 25 mb of cache it works but i cant go online... Plus when i delete the chache and it goes back to version 1.0 i can play 4 player splitscreen
Offline, but after the update i can only do 2 player online and if i want to play oflline it wont let me.... Damn people praising it too early

[GodofSackboy]

That video is awesome. Luckily I didn't buy Black Ops. And I'll never buy a COD again.

[NickIni]

My Black Ops doesn't even work. Freezes a few seconds into the Treyarch screen thing. Works fine on my friends PS3s, just not mine, and, surprise surprise, 1.05 still hasn't fixed it.

Last CoD game I ever buy

[jaredhart]

Microsoft out and said it would be better on their system.

Pisses me off because I own a PS3 as well and I hate seeing it getting shafted.

How Am I a troll, I play my PS3 more than my Xbox?

[El_Colombiano]

Trollololol

I play on my PS3 completely perfect.

[hamburger123]

Congratulations

You wanna balloon?

[Scotland-Tha-Brave]

Well i am a ps3 fanboy, and you are speaking complete shit El_colombiano. The PS3 version is gimped with lag, low fps and party disconnections, also Hard freezes which result in switching ps3 off.

[smashman98]

I have this game for ps3 and i honest to god havent seen any of these problems. Im not saying they dont exist but ever since launch ive been fine. On another note i also played the 360 version at my friends house for a few hours and the only difference that caught my eye were slightly better visuals

[Silly gameAr]

I heard the 360 was having it's fair share of problems too.

[Motorola]

I heard PC was having problems too

[theonlylolking]

I heard all versions except the wii are having problems.

[Tunerboy8732]

The hit detection is my biggest issue with the 360 version.The fact that I shoot a guy nine times in the chest and he has time to pull his pistol out and kill me.That's bullshit!The last stand perk should removed from the game period.

[jwk94]

Compared to the ps3, how're the PC and Wii versions doing?

[ps3rider]

wii is the best version, has no errors

[antz1104]

Uh, no.

[sak500]

@silly

U heard wrong so stfu if you havn't played on LIVE. I've lvl 49 1st prestige the Xbox doesn't have any of these issues. Every 10 or so matches there are 3 or 4 times host migration happening, the party still goes on and what not and we all still have good connection.

[Sandwich Bender]

These problems are only exacerbated by the developer keeping quiet on the subject.

[darksied]

Completely agree. At least when Gears 2 was having problems, I think the dev's would post in the forums and get feedback (even though it took them forever to fix it).

I would hope it would bother them that 9 out of 10 posts (at least) on their own ps3 forums are hating on the game and complaining about problems, but still their community manager just tweets about random crap ...? It's like they don't even care what the people think.

[MGRogue2017]

I find it very odd that only PS3 players are having all of these problems...

[saint_john_paul_ii]

thats what happens when you port.

MW2 had its glitches, but it wasnt as gamebreaking as this, on top of that the graphics were on par with the 360 version. there was no lead platform.

[MGRogue2017]

Having said that... I do have my share of problems on my 360 version, mainly disconnections from matches.. especially when I was doing so well.

It really is the equivalent of a slap to the face.

I haven't been on the game for a while so maybe shits been fixed.. but I very much doubt it.

[SnukaTheMan]

you get kicked when you kill a team member 3 times....sucks but it happens.....

[elmaton98]

It happened to me too, when I'm doing real good in any match, sometimes it kicked me and only me out of the match while I see my friends still playing

[NYC_Gamer]

how many patches will it take to fix this broken game

[CrzyFooL]

Over 9000!!

[hamburger123]

I sure hope not because every patch that is comming apperently makes the game (even) worse

[darksied]

I was about to say the same thing. You better HOPE it gets fixed in 1 patch now, because if it's more, the game's going to turn into bug soup.

[sak500]

@NYC

You mean for Ps3 or this particular game?

[Batmau5]

Well they finally fixed the PC version, i feel sorry for the Playstation users, they have to wait even longer!

[acky1]

serves them right for buying the game.
_______________
Sony 'til I die

[insomnium2]

WTH is that "Sony 'til I die " there in the end you have? I love my PS3 over any other gaming platform but don't you think a line should be drawn somewhere? You make things worse for the rest of us. It almost seems you might be a x360 fanboy in disguise doing this on purpose since this is n4g right?

[redDevil87]

Treyarch had a chance to improve their reputation.

Many people believed after IW's shit performance making MW2 it was Treyarchs chance to shine. They blew it on the PS3, big time.

[Pillage05]

MW2 only had a handful of glitches of which most were fixed with weeks of release on ps3 anyways...i can't speak for the other versions. In fact the only one I ever even saw was the javelin glitch and that only happened to me in one game.

My friends and I never had any networking problems like getting into a party/game.

And I hate to say but I had W@W networking problems until the day MW2 came. Very similar to the problems we are seeing in BO right now. I hope we get a real fix for it soon if 1.05 didn't do it. I haven't been able to try it yet.

[trainsinrdr]

i think its kotick who needs to get a patch

[GodofSackboy]

The best idea, and comment, I have ever seen. 100% agree.

[fossilfern]

right I never had any problems with Black Ops until NOW! WTF IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all the problems that guy mention in one of the posts with no sound other than the gun has happened to me! FUCK THIS! I might trade this game in its a joke and also $15 for maps so when that hits the UK im sure it will be around £10 NO CHANCE am I paying

[redDevil87]

I'm trading the shit for Dead Space 2

[Pillage05]

I likely won't be trading BO as I have a lot of friends who the only multiplayer game they play is cod, but I finally saw some of the multi. beta for dead space 2 today and I'm really hopeful that I'll be as hooked on it as i think i'll be. KZ3 is looking great too.

[HungPHATx]

Glad I passed on that Garbage

[TheBatman_Fanatic]

LOL! I pass on every CoD, every year.

[VenomProject]

This was my first year where I didn't jump on the CoD hype train.

I'm glad I didn't. I can live without that bugfest.

[Thoreau]

i have been playing on the 360 and ps3 versions of codbo, the ps3 has too many problems to count and the 360 version truly has some kind of delay in the controls in relation to the actions on-screen.

acti made a fortune and the codbo is not a solid piece of tech work. i cannot give acti any more money...

[itchy18]

well patch 1.05 really satisfies me........on GT5. hahaha xP

[Pillage05]

:D I'm getting my copy on christmas eve...soooo excited!

[Rage_S90]

same here bubs for the lulz

[GodofSackboy]

Yeah 1.05 on GT5 is amazing, those seasonal events own, online dealership, rewards for online, custom menu bgm, streamlined menus, offline mechanical damage, online stats, more money for events, website integration, log improvements, save data backup, race info display, and more online stats.

BLOPS 1.05: more lag

[Dr-Zoidberg]

HAHAHA brilliant comment itchy, not often comments make me laugh.

Happy Christmas to you all.

[-MD-]

360 gets a lag spike or two every now and then and I've seen rubber-banding happening but nothing that ruins it.

[theonlylolking]

You dont play enough then. When I get on black ops on my xbox it is horrible(other than zombies). Almost everything that PS3 gamers are complaining about are happening to me and my friends BUT its not nearly as frequent.

[antz1104]

No I have to disagree with you. I'm at lvl 46 and aside from an occassional host migration or match disconnect I have had zero problems with BO, nor have my friends.

Saying "you don't play enough then" is a cop out answer ppl use when they're not happy that someone else is enjoying it and they can't.

[theonlylolking]

@antz1104
On my xbox I rarely can start a match in zombies without it kicking everyone out because of it unable to host migrate. The hit detection is horrible and lag is more frequent in ground war than in MW2.

[sak500]

ignore the ps3 fool troll the_only_lol_king.

Nothing wrong with 360 version, i'm level 49 1st prestige and the game is fine and fun. Again having better online connectivity via LIVE and better console built for MP online gaming.

Ironic that these ps3 tools cry about 50$ cost of LIVE for a year and keep wasting 60$ on many MPlat games with broken online for ps3.

[jaredhart]

People should really stop buying CoD games.

[theonlylolking]

All I know is black ops proved to me that only IW should make COD and all they did right in the COD franchise was zombies, theater, and emblem making.

[AKissFromDaddy]

Well written

[hamburger123]

The funny thing is that people will keep buying cod no mather what

[The_Claw]

lol yup. they could make Call of Duty: Snowball Fights in Outer Space and it would sell 10 million copies. Stupid COD sheep

[Jrome]

Hey umm..instead of screaming "fix it"...STOP BUYING THE GAMES. I haven't bought the game since WaW...fk CoD. It's turning into madden.

[TheBatman_Fanatic]

Well said! It is the same thing every year!

[kornbeaner]

To play devils advocate, this will only continue if Sony does start an internal tools program. Sony has always been at the fore front of tech on the hardware side of things but they leave a lot to be desired when it comes to software tools for their hardware, while things are extremely polished and friendly within Sony's in house studio when it comes to sharing info and tech, a ton of third party studios to not have the same benefit. As a result PS3 owner such as myself can only hope on a few things to happen.

1. When games are being ported, studio resources should be divide evenly amongst both versions of the game to insure constant and even progression amongst both versions of the game.

2. When a game is set to be multiplatform PS3 should be lead sku and ported over to the 360. 360's memory set-up has very little trouble adjusting, but can be a hassle vice-versa.

3. Sony should hire software engineers and/or license current successful PS3 engines as a base-line tool on how to make the PS3 game perform well for both Graphical and Network systems.

Only when 1 of these 3 things happen will PS3 gamers start to suffer less at the hands of Lazy Multiplatform dev's.

[Dark_Overlord]

I agree with the first 2 points, however why should Sony's in house developers do all the work then allow another company to just use their engines?

Lets say ND licensed the UC3 engine for use to other companies, then a vast majority of games come out looking as good as UC3. All these other companies would be showered with praise about their great games and make ND's UC3 not look as ground breaking as before, yet ND would be the ones who had done the vast majority of work

I do believe Sony should help developers from other companies, but as for doing all the work for them f*ck that idea :)

[kornbeaner]

I never said Sony should do all the work, read number three again. I said base-line engine. Just to get dev's going in the right direction. Plus an engine does not guarantee automatic success. There are tons of games out there this gen that use the Unreal engine and about 90% of them are trash or fail to even come close to looking as good as some of Epic's games. The use of an engine still takes talented individuals to understand and utilize. Number 3 was listed because I have tested Multiplat games for the PS3 that have been 360 ports and Tools wise, the 360 offers way more than PS3 in terms of dev tools which is the reason most companies start on 360, because there is a baseline to start and that usually becomes the baseline for PS3 port. So you can see the problem. Using 360 code to baseline a PS3 game.

[Killzoned]

Serious i have none of these problems and am on the PS3? been playing for hours now, I haven't been kicked or disconnected from a single game yet.

[Forbidden_Darkness]

You must be playing on patch 1.02? ;)

[Killzoned]

Haha to be honest with you, i don't really like COD games but rather prefer Killzone 2 and BF2. I only play COD with friends which they ask me to come on almost everyday

But like i said i haven't had any problems yet, I still haven't been randomly disconnected, Before the new update the previous patch made my Nat Strict but after the new 1.05 update my patch is now open and i can join my friends with no problems. This is coming from a person who prefers the PS3 over 360 =P

[zeksta]

Guys, Call of Duty is just your basic Run n Gun like a retard game, with a handful of issues it's basically unplayable on PS3.

I suggest you buy Battlefield Bad Company 2 and the Vietnam expansion, you'll enjoy it alot more, I guarantee it.

[TruVision]

Everybody BUY KILLZONE 3

[dkgshiz]

For all of these problems with BO. http://comedy.com/files/201...

I'll be trading this in....get $30 for it and getting killzone 3 .....in a couple months gotta stick it out for a while.....

Bfbc2 ...and moh...gotta fix the gay walk..and the way players jump in the air....game breaker for me fix that and I'm onboard

[dkgshiz]

What gay walk?

[BXbomber]

Lmaoo the gay walk, if u ask me if I see any shooter doing that walk I kno DICE made te game

[Shmotz]

The game runs fine for me. Played an hour or so today with few problems. I enjoy Black Ops etc. etc.

Anyways when the game fails to host migrate thats because the host either shut off his PS3 or quit the game, not the games fault but the hosts. Same problem as MW2 had.

Edit: on top of that leave with party works, I get smooth games and mute in lobby works. My PS3 is in the DMZ so I get NAT open. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

[SnukaTheMan]

problems none the less though huh....

[Shmotz]

Problems that exist on all platforms.

[SnukaTheMan]

is when Im playing hardcore and kill a team member 3 times.....never been kicked off for "problems"...

[PS3gamer4life]

COD SUX GET MAG BETTER DEN COD

[Welshy]

Lol Ppl are still playing this? as much as I admit I had fun on MW2, COD as a series has been getting worse and worse since COD4

The fact treyarchs responsibility before being handed COD was making spiderman games just shows how they were thrown in the deep end with no real talent to make a proper polished product across all platforms.

[Raoh]

if anyone wants to buy cod black ops used i'm dropping mine off at the local gamestop near my job tomorrow....

[Dellis]

Delete 1.04 before installing this update

this one does alot for the game, I can get into a game

in 5 minutes if you use Groundwar

[DaBadGuy]

Don't worry, nobody is really satisfied with this game.

Although, I haven't heard a peep about the Wii version, maybe that's the best version......

.....nawwww....

[disparage]

Looks like CoD is suffering from "Gears syndrome". Patch after patch, and the game is still terrible online.

[ZombieKiller]

Are you guys surprised? I hate to say this, but its almost as if they were doing this on purpose. Why IS the ps3 having these problems? Maybe if this was 3 years ago when the ps3 was a baby. Plus, they already released W@W on ps3. So what gives?

Funny how:
1. A M$ rep said right before the game came out how Everyone knows it's gonna be better on 360
2. How M$ pays to steal things from ps3 gamers (Because if they were smart, they would just buy 1st party studios like Sony). Instead, they pay companies for exclusive content.
3. We are in the 4th year of the ps3, 3 COD's deep, and yet they STILL can't make a good ps3 version.
4. They keep releasing patches that make the game worse and worse.
5. How they "forgot" to put the zombie codes in half the Hardened Edition reserves on PS3 only (thats why there is a shortage)
6. This crap keeps happening and yet we all flock to it like flies to sh1t....myself included. Not that I am ashamed of it. I love COD. IN MY EYES, it's awesome (to each his own). But the B$ each of us PS3 gamers have to deal with just to play a game WE PAID FOR is just insane. It's ok this time, because this was my 5th and last COD.

[BMS84]

That's actually the truth!

[ironmonkey]

fuck man this game is being made as we play it. fix after fix.
call of duty broken ops 1.2 beta

[jaredhart]

Of course, they make a new one every year. Not enough time to work out the kinks.

[denero1]

lol ironmonkey is right

its like they shipped out a beta and said shit lets make the consumers find the bugs

[topekomsi]

They are screwed, they have no idea how to fix all the fugg ups.

[turok]

just dont play/buy the game. its shitty. get games worth playing like GT5 or some other game.

[KaiokenKid]

I assume this is only effecting online multiplayer. In which case I could care less since when I play this game itll probaly be for singlepalyer more then anything. Im srue theyll fix it eventualy. Also, I think this kinda proves that Treyarch are not on the same level as IW.

[tman692]

If I was any smart consumer I would not buy on the release date but rather on the day of the patch that finally fixes everything. Then buy the game after reading many testimonials on the net. Impulse buying gives these corporations $$$.

[kagon01]

Buy Warhawk and your problems will be solved.

[HeroPsychoDreamer]

people should have done like I did. I didn't buy the game in the first place. And never will.

[_Dbvw65_]

honestly im done with black ops its effing annoying

[Gladiator7]

its the time to leave COD..
waiting for respawn team game.

[sweettooth]

i am glade i did't buy this Garbage game

[bumnut]

i hope everyone learns from this and votes with their wallets next year, not bought a cod game since waw on pc.

[commander]

Down syndrome boys in here complaining

Learn how to set your router into dmz mode and all your problems will be fixed.

[ZombieKiller]

So everyone that doesn't automatically have DMZ set, has down syndrome? I just changed over to DMZ and guess what? I smell a troll! I DID work! Came right through the mic!

Commander, not everyone is as smart as you are apparently. The real point is that the game should work right out of the box like they all should. Like all REAL ps3 games do.

We paid the same price, if not MORE so regardless of DMZ or not, the game should just work...

[prodigal_twit]

Now I'm REALLY glad I gave this iteration a miss.....

What are they doing out there? it's like "we dunno what's wrong, let's throw a patch out and it'll look like we're working really really hard to fix it and it'll buy us some time to figure it out"

[sway__z]

I have read on N4G and other sites other console owners commenting 'Put up, or Shut up' regarding the complaints of PS3 owners.

Actishite say pay us (MS) and we will make your version P**s all over the PS3's, and with time exclusive DLC.

PS3 owners need to vote with their wallets, do not buy eventual DLC, do not support sub-standard copies.

Clearly Actishite are having unprotected sex with MS. Sony seem to have found an allie in EA, and seemingly without waving carrots.

Makes you wonder how a lower budget psn game like Warhawk can outperform (MP)a hollywood budget game that is Black Ops?

....On paper it makes no sense...but then again, this is Actishite we're talking about.

Activision should pray the PS4 does not become the de facto console next gen, because they deserve to be snubbed by Sony.

I don't blame Treyarch in anyway, they are employees and essentially do as employees are told to.

[Damiann]

I was happy when the new patch was released yesterday... but unfortantelly... I don't know why but i m often the host and since the last two patches my PS3 keeps freezing when i m the host, yesterday 3 times in an hour or so, before the last two patches i didn't had any major problems online and now i do. Treyarch should test the patches better before releasing them or just delete the two newest ones and really work on a decent patch, but they don't really care that much imo...

[BMS84]

Same problems here mate, not much you can do about it.

[Simco876]

I would go for free map packs lol. But Bobby will make sure that doesn't happen

[HK6]

I think that all submitted news containing PS3, Black Ops, and patch should have the word patch in quotation marks as they never fix anything.

[corrupted_sharingan]

Path 1.05 made black ops even worse, I can't even connect to the black ops server thanks Treyarch I'm never gonna buy your games anymore. Infinty Ward FTW

[Gamer112]

Cod might aswell be a xbox360 exclusive.

[OhMyGandhi]

why is it that people love to find a way to hate on Black Ops?
Yet people will endure the travesty that is New Vegas and it's boat load of glitches.

[Gamer112]

Good question but the ps3 fanboy dont have an answer they just disagree because they are hurt inside that xbox has a better version of a popular game.

[Darth_Bane79]

If people would have learned from MW2 and wouldn't have bought BO, then the lower sales would have forced Activision and Treyarch, or whoever makes the next COD (because we all know there's gonna be another COD) to make a better game next time, but with sales as big as they are, they won't give a crap and will keep bringing this kinda problems in the future. SPEAK WITH YOUR WALLETS PEOPLE!

[XIIIWARRIOR41]

This is fucking lame. For everyone complaining, stop posting return your freakin game and that'll be all, good night! I'm enjoying it, yeah it lags but so freaking what, so does my computer, phone etc.

[Zancruz]

It's doesn't matter anymore for me, If you follow these's steps you'll feel the sameway too....

1. Beat the campaign and play the Zombie mode to get some of your moneys worth out of the game...

2. Sell your copy of COD: Black Ops and put the money torwards another FPS game. Maybe a game like Killzone 3, where its online multiplayer is being Beta tested for months now.

3. Rent other good looking games like Brink and Bulletstorm before buying them, Gamefly is your friend...

4. And last but not lease, Stop blaming everyone else for the problems with Black Ops, It's the developers fault! DO NOT buy another game that's is made by Treyarch!! Learn from your mistakes....

[GoldPS3]

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

[Killman]

Thanks Treyarch and Activision. I LOVE paying $60 to beta test a game for you, pricks.

[skywalkeruk]

I've been having connection problems since day one of purchase with the new CODBO. Sometimes the lobby shuts down before the game starts or the 'connection error' message comes up during the game, I've tested my connection and all tests come back ok. I've noticed it happens more when more people are online but that's no excuse, they should account for the large amounts of people playing online. It's a shame a great product has been ruined by online connection problems, I've lost my faith in the Call of Duty brand and will be seriously considering whether to buy any further Call of Duty games. P.s as a gesture of good will, they should offer PS3 players the 4 new maps they will be bringing out for free, this would give them some credibility in rectify any issues with fans.
