Via the official Black Ops forums<\/a> Treyarch developer David ‘Vahn’ Vonderhaar has discussed some of the changes ready for the 1.06 Black Ops patch, as well as considerations for future updates.<\/p>\n

Treyarch studio boss Mark Lamia has set the goal of making Black Ops the most supported multiplayer game in the franchise history. The developers acknowledge that this is a tall order but commit to making it reality. The team also says that bugs, connectivity, party, and matchmaking issues are a heavy focus for their day to day workflow.<\/p>\n

The few changes discussed are about tweaks to gameplay, and there is little mention of bug fixes. Below the gameplay tweaks are summarised, with explanation from David Vonderhaar.<\/p>\n

The AK74U grip variant re-center speed will be adjusted:<\/strong> “We think the AK74U grip variant re-center speed is too quick. Although the tuning is in line with other grip variant weapons, the gun itself has a very perfectible kick and other attributes or attachments that make it a popular weapon to use. We have slightly de-tuned the AK74u grip for version 1.06.”<\/p>\n

Changes to kill credits:<\/strong> “We are considering giving full kill credit to the guy who drops someone in Second Chance and Assist credit for someone who finishes them off. We are also considering allowing you to only be revived one time. We are even considering increasing the revive time.”<\/p>\n

Second Chance perk complaints:<\/strong> It turns out that the invulnerability period experienced when someone is dropping into the ‘Second Chance’ is linked to the game code. This problem gives the player entering into second chance a 0.5 second invulnerability.<\/p>\n

“We need to think about this one clearly,” explains Vonderhaar. “I went through the revision history. Any attempts to remove the “0.5” seconds of invulnerability mean the guy with Second Chance will likely never be given his Second Chance. Removal of this entirely will all but remove the perk from the game (which I know many of you would prefer in the first place, but it’s something we are not yet ready to do). This “0.5” seconds is consistent with the previous games and is not any longer or shorter.”<\/p>\n

Revision to RC car:<\/strong> “We are evaluating the RC-XD minimum and maximum damage and damage radius and its movement speed. Changing the kill requirement isn’t feasible at this time.”<\/p>\n

Sniper rifles and knives:<\/strong> “We are largely okay with the sniper rifle and knife tuning at this time. No changes are currently planned for either of these for version 1.06.”<\/p>\n
