Call Of Duty 7 "Black Ops"

IN PROGRESS

■• Added an option to create shaders during load time. This fixes hitching when viewing a new area of the map for the first time on some video cards.

■• Incomplete server browser results.

■• Improvements to Quickmatch results (with better ping and reduced lag)..

■• /connect

■• /reconnect

■• Improved threading performance on computers with only 2 cores.

■• Fixed random freezes in certain computer configurations.

■• Increased reserved slots to 9.

■• Improvements to the spawn system to resolve an issue where negative spawn influencers from specific game events were not always being deleted after the danger had
cleared – in some matches, this was causing good spawns to be erroneously flagged by the game as bad spawns, which in turn forced actual bad spawns to get selected later
in the match

■• Weekly and Monthly leaderboards will now track all kills, deaths and assists properly (All Time leaderboards were not affected by this)

■• Prevention of killstreak selection getting disabled in Combat Training under rare conditions

■• Array: Added collision to prevent players from partially clipping into a tree

■• Launch: Added collision to prevent players from strafe jumping onto an invisible ledge at the base of the rocket near B3

■• Summit: Added collision to prevent players from jumping to a location outside of the map boundary when in Custom Games where player speed is maxed out

■• Havana: Added collision to prevent players from jumping onto an invisible ledge above a doorway at C2

■• Nuketown: Adjusted a spawn point that would spawn players on top of a mannequin’s head when that mannequin was randomly spawned in that location

■• Launch: User could access a small platform outside of the intended play space below the rocket gantry by jumping to a very specific location; now blocked from access

■• Launch: User could access a small area inside geometry at vents near Dom flag A by going prone and moving around in a very specific location; now blocked from access

■• Some users reported that weapon attachment challenges were not resetting after prestige; now all are guaranteed to clear as soon as selecting the prestige option

■• Radar sweep when there are only 2 players left in One in the Chamber will stop functioning if the 2 players have multiple lives when the sweep starts

■• Villa: User can clip into rock at west edge of grid zone B2 and see through to the other side

■• Crisis: User can clip into LVT between grid zone A3 and B3 and see through to the other side

■• User can get an infinite number of ‘Sam Turret’, ‘Care Package’ and ‘Sentry Gun’ killstreaks (commonly referred to as the “care package glitch”)

Black Ops First Strike map pack will be made up of four new multiplayer maps and one new Zombie map. “Berlin Wall” takes place at Checkpoint Charlie, a commonly-known crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War. “Discovery” is a arctic-based map that takes place in a snow-riddled German research station that you might recognize from the campaign. “Kowloon” is also based on a single player mission, obviously set in China. And the final map, “Stadium,” which sounds the most interesting of the four new maps, will take place in a hockey rink/sports complex

Back in late November Microsoft announced a Black Ops double XP weekend via email newsletters – something which Treyarch knew nothing about – and subsequently announced they had got their “dates mixed up” and that there wasn’t going to be a double XP weekend after all.

Now, almost 3-months after the game released, we have a confirmed date for the first Black Ops double XP weekend. Josh Olin and David Vonderhaar used Major Nelson’s weekly podcast to reveal February 4th – 6th – the first weekend after the First Strike map pack hits Xbox – as the date of the first Black Ops XP-fest. So, clear three days out of your schedule from Feb 4th through Feb 6th because you ’bout to get your double XP on.

The Black Ops double XP weekend will be on all platforms.
