Black Ops Patch news

Hello all, I have been playing Black Ops with a new CPU, so honestly I have not been able to notice whether or not the update. But I have had a few people over who have had lag problems with the game, and I am happy to announce that the new update has actually resolved many of the dual core cpu problems it had before. Cheers to the forums at the Black Ops site, they openly discuss with the players about changes that they are making.

Yeah, I'm liking allot of the new changes.

From what I noticed, either the latest update or the one before it has helped with some of the lag issues. In fact, some of the visual effects on the maps look better and have improved latency.

It was the last one and also this one. The new patch (today) includes the following:

Quote :

MP Audio stuttering on certain systems.
Playercards sometimes not showing properly.
Added three Private Match Server Settings: Team Change, Team-Up Period, and Keep Balanced Teams.
Added Alternate Color Scheme for accessibility: Settings / Multiplayer / Player Name Indicator.
Changed Team-Up Period countdown interval to 10 seconds.
Combat Training sessions are no longer counted in Server Browser Unranked tab.
Friends on your team will now show as blue on your minimap.
Prevention of various exploits.
Objective markers localized for all languages.
Various stability improvements

Call of Duty: Black Ops Rcon Tool
Recognize new "invalid password" server response

It appears that most of the updates only deal with improvement to the UI. But I am glad to see some better changes with some of the private match settings.
