The seventh Title Update for the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops is now live and available to download via the European arm of the Xbox LIVE network. Having launched in the US earlier this morning, the Title Update has now reached European servers.
The Title Update promises improvements to matchmaking, the in-game store, multiplayer matches and the Zombies mode.Here's a basic list of the new fixes and gameplay tweaks the Title Update will offer Xbox 360 gamers, direct from developers Treyarch:
Issues Addressed:
- Matchmaking improvements to return higher quality results faster. This change includes settings that are tunable in the live environment, so tweaking may continue beyond initial release of this update.
- The in-game store now hides DLC map packs that do not match the language of the player's disc to decrease the possibility of users downloading the incorrect language version.
- Calling in a Chopper Gunner immediately after getting shot down in a Gunship will no longer end the Chopper Gunner run prematurely. Required timing-specific button presses.
- Split screen players are now able to change camera perspectives and cycle through players as a spectator.
- Addressed an issue where the most recent match played in Zombies could overwrite the best match played on the leaderboard.
- Improved Zombies lobbies to prevent players from erroneously receiving the error "Unable to join game session" under certain circumstances.
- Addressed a number of community-discovered Zombies gameplay exploits.
- Additional security feature updates.
Gameplay Tuning:
- Additional sniper rifle tuning
Along with the announcement that the Xbox 360 Title Update is now live, Treyarch’s Community Manager, Josh Olin, suggested that a new PlayStation 3 patch for the game will arrive alongside the First Strike downloadable content (DLC) this Thursday, 3rd March 2011.
