A few weeks back, some angry PS3 owner put up a petition demanding a refund<\/a> for a version of Call of Duty: Black Ops that was allegedly “inferior” to the Xbox’s. Ostensibly somewhat petty and absurd, it’s true that since then, the PS3 version has been tragically subject to a number of serious issues, particularly with lag and frame rate problems, as well as unstable connectivity in matchmaking.<\/p>\n

Treyarch has deployed a series of fixes in the meantime, but it seems each one only breaks something else, which has lead to an increasing number of complaints. As such, the petition – originally invested with something like 128 signatures – has now pulled over 11000 complaints. Although, it’s sort of hard to take some of these seriously.<\/p>\n

“This game is soooooo fail……,” writes Jeff. “i have playes every CoD AND THIS IS THE WORT!”<\/p>\n

On 22 December, Treyarch released a 1.05 update for the game, addressing the following issues:<\/p>\n

• Improved party reliability when leaving with party – an additional step in an ongoing series of party improvements continued in the next patch
• Improved UPnP functionality – further expands the game’s capability to open NATs on routers with universal plug and play enabled
• Enabled mute functionality in Playercards in the pre-game lobby
• Enabled kick functionality in party and private match lobbies
• Addressed an issue where the pre-game lobby would not always display properly when multiple players leave the lobby after a team split
• Addressed an issue where the pre-game lobby would appear stuck on the countdown timer while waiting to balance teams<\/p>\n

It seems this has corrected most of the more persistent problems with online multiplayer, but there are still some reports of console freezing during play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
