Call of Duty: Black Ops Patch 1.06 for PS3 now available

Treyarch released PS3 Patch 1.06 for Call of Duty: Black Ops today at 10am GMT (2am PST). Tsardom.net brings you the details of what is new in 1.06, including major changes to the Second Chance Perk which are sure to delight the majority of gamers.

[DoomeDx]

Jesus christ all these things should have been fixed before it got released!

[JoeIsMad]

You really can't "Fix" the issues with the RC-XD or AK-74U without having an open beta, which would not really have been the best idea for keeping the details and hype up on this game. If it were released in Beta, it probably would have gotten a worse reputation for not looking as good, nor generally playing as well as Modern Warfare 2.

[DoomeDx]

Then tell me why old games like Perfect Dark, Unreal Tournament (1999 version), many old PS2 games, Killzone 3, Gears of war, etc etc had a perfect balance in weapons BEFORE it has been patched?

Treyarch / Infinity Ward really have to release a new CoD every 2 years, even it they cant make, they will just relly on patches

[thereapersson]

I think you mean Killzone 2, which DID have a beta test program. Also, Gears of War 2 HAD a beta program, and Gears of War 3 will also have one.

Just a correction there.

[DoomeDx]

^True that. totally didnt think about that.

And yeah i meant killzone 2.
Killzone 3 had a bit of balancing issues with the guns. Which are being fixed now because it had a beta.

If only CoD did beta's..

[Istanbull]

Does this update remove the laggy servers?

[Apocwhen]

There are no servers other than those that process the matchmaking. Games are hosted using p2p crap. That's why 90% of hosted games suck, because not everyone has > 1mb upload connection.

[ReBurn]

wesley, those old PS2 games didn't always have perfect balance in their weapons before they were released. It's that people learned to live with the imbalances as a mechanic of the game, and we developed strategies that minimized the impact.

Also, when it came to shooters on the PS2 there wasn't exactly as much emphasis on the multiplayer aspects because multiplayer wasn't as prevalent. But even with local multiplayer, everyone was typically on a level playing field with access to the same levels of firepower.

[kunit22c]

They also made it so when zombies hit you you don't get moved at all.. and if a zombie dies without you killing it it just respawns until you actually kill it.

[crimsonfox]

hell yeah release it at 2:30 in the morning

[Call_me_Ishmael]

still lags like sh8,maybe its cause not everyone has the patch yet,ill give it another couple of days before tracking bugs.

[marcindpol]

you can only play with clients that are already updated, track your bugs from now on...

[Call_me_Ishmael]

really????

thnks man

[TenSteps]

Hell yeah who's up for waiting for Patch 1.07

[Calm Down Sunshine]

Once again...

People still playing this game...

[Jezuz]

i play BO regularly but that picture.....that picture is epic

[ReservoirDog316]

Haha

+bubbles

[Buho]

LOL! I still play Black Ops but ONLY for zombies. I gave up on the competitive multi-player. Too frustrating(lag,hit detection,host advantage etc).

[Anon1974]

I haven't tried this online yet. I received the game at Christmas and had only played zombies splitscreen and tonight I finished the campaign.

Looks like I didn't miss anything in terms of online. I understand there were some issues that are now better. Good to know. I know with every single other Call of Duty release, for a good month or so after it launched there were all kinds of online problems - so this time I wasn't in much of a hurry to jump online. Looking forward to giving it a try, though.

[AstroZombie1]

Nothing here in the UK (11:37)

[corrupted_sharingan]

This is awesome. I'm so happy that they tweaked the AK74u, now let's meet those noobs who used to think that they are so good by using AK74u, I bet those noobs will stop playing black ops from now on

[GamerPS360]

Noob Uses best gun available while pro bitches and cry like little girl.

[JoeIsMad]

The gun works just as well, if not better now.

[dead_eye]

I didn't notice a problem with it. I only have it on one class which I only use in capture the flag. doesn't handicap me not using it.

[SolidMGSnake]

Thank god. I havent played this game for awhile because ive been waiting for this patch. Stupid party disconnecting, stability issues, host migrating every game. I'll give this patch a run later tonight.

No more kill stealing w/ the 2nd chance and idk if that AK74u nerf will make ppl shift to other weapons, but I hope it does. Im tired of seeing that gun!

[AllroundGamer]

no more freezing? hurray... but two months late, sorry Treyarch, you are the noobs in the game development industry.

[suicidalblues]

Hold your breath. I froze back to back on Havana just now.

[AllroundGamer]

ok so it's not just me thank god :D i could play only one round with this patch and my PS3 froze...

[DarkFantasy]

no freezes in the 5 games i played, tho it looked like it was going to freezes on me once on summit ..but its funny after installing the patch i was waiting for my ps3 to blow up LOL Who knows with "TRY"arch some thing bad is bound to happen.

[Freshnikes]

It's not the ak74 ....it's the player I have got owned using ak74 ...and I have bested with it...it's the player I have got owned with the Uzi...the guy was just beast but watever if this will make ppl happy...now they can't complain wen they go 6-13 and blame it on the 74 ...they start blaming the famas..it will never end...fix the lag...and dropped games...lag with strong host is not that bad as wen it first came out..ohh well killzone3 will be out soon enough ....

[dead_eye]

100% agree with everything you just said.

[maverick1191]

how about sorting the golden gun glitch?
im sick of everyone having them and hopefully the ak47u will be sorted out every player has that gun its so overpowered its like know one knows how to use any other gun

[Errod88]

its live in Australia just install it on my PS3.

[jrbeerman11]

lag is most important issue. especially when the game "hides" lag better than some other games.

I usually find out there's lag after i try to throw a grenade, or when it looks like I unload a clip into someone to be missing by a mile in replay.

at least show some rubber banding for some warning lol.

Also considering that a game that is so fast paced and twitch based, a millisecond can be the difference between life and death. you would think that it would be the most important aspect the developers would pay attention to.

[corrupted_sharingan]

@gamerps360- I bet you are one of those players who cannot play with AK74u attached with rapid fire. I'm pretty much sure that you have not even tried playing with other guns against AK74u, whereas in my case I never use AK74u becuz I feel embarrassed to use that overpowered gun,the only time when I use that gun is if I'm out of ammo and if I find it lying on the floor then I'll pick it up. Oh and can I know how many kills you have got with that noob gun of yours? Is it 15000 or 18000?whereas your kills with other guns have not even exceeded 100.

[DarkFantasy]

" Changes to the Second Chance Perk – if you put a player into Second Chance and he isn’t revived then you will be credited with the kill. Anyone else who finishes them off will now only get an assist. "

THANK GOD!!! I don't know how many kills i have lost due to this its really annoying! also the ak47u being more balanced is great its was a bit annoying,tho i prefer the AK47 over the ak47u.i have always used ak47 in all the cod games i have played where its available,tho i do love the commando too :P

[maverick1191]

cant edit my comment but its live in UK btw

[lefty burns]

Thank god they patched the 74u! Now I can use it without the entire internet crying like babies right? <sarcasm>

I wonder what gun they'll nerf next... They should know that no amount of weapon patching will make everyone happy.

[theballa113092]

Ahh hopefully this one works!

[The_Zeitgeist]

Finally!!! They fixed second chance. That was such BS getting an assist when you did all the work.

[Simco876]

I moved on from this game already. I haven't played in awhile. Nerf the guns? haha now I will never come back.

Call of Duty needs to take a year off seriously.

[Motorola]

74u still owns but the second chance thing is amazing. Already froze on me too, only 2 matches in....and the PS3 is new so thats not the problem...Lag is a little less though

[dlohnug]

Im getting kz3 soon so fuck cod

[TheLastGuardian]

I'm too busy playing LBP2 to play Black Ops.

[KillingAllFanboys]

I wish I was you gosh I hate this game regret getting it and not waiting for LBP2 or Killzone 3....going to sell Black Ops and getting LBP2 or Killzone 3 which one to get though so hard to pick?

[TheLastGuardian]

Yea I regret buying it too. I'm selling my hardened edition copy back to Amazon for $46. It's going towards Killzone 3. LBP2 or KZ3 is a hard decision. I guess it depends on if you liked LBP or KZ2 more. LBP2 has a great story mode and the community levels will last you a long time.

Killzone 3 looks to have an epic campaign and a better story this time. The online can last you a long time too if you like Killzone's multiplayer. Theres an open beta for KZ3 starting Feb 2nd. Try that before you decide.

[KillingAllFanboys]

thanks dude I will try the Beta!!

[killalot100]

"Load Multiplayer by Default" option for the PS3. finally

[KingLizzle]

That option was already added by Patch 1.04 on 14 December 2010.

[hellzsupernova]

what is thie call of duty black ops game? i've never herd of it?!

[tman692]

Me either.. :/ Sounds like it's giving people problems. Maybe I'll just never play it and avoid what everyone here hates.

[hellzsupernova]

Ha i agree completely

[garrod]

Lol call of doody broken ops? No thanks I got dead space 2 it's amazing thank you for asking. It'll hold me out till KZ3 :D

[Dellis]

Erase the old data(patch)

[Damiann]

Didn't notice any difference, in the matchmaking, very often i am the host and sometimes my ps3 just freezes (happens only when i'm the host) and after the patch still two freezes, like the second chance update, it was really overpowered and don't understand the thing about the ak74 what did they actually changed?

[TheTruth89]

this shit fix nothing.... it still (randomly) freeze after a match

[REPLOID24]

Dudes, did it patch to a higher res? My wife says it looks crisp. My vision is crap, yo.

[Premonition]

I'm still getting the load screen when going into a game, and the shortly losing connection, i dont think theres a patch that can save this game.

[Thoreau]

the ak74u was not over powered, people just run around the corners with their famas, enfields, then get blasted by a short range ak74u. the problems of frame rate dippage and lower resolution on the ps3 are the real problems.
