CoD Black Ops Wii Patch 1-25-11 Review

[Spi3000]

For awhile, Black Ops on Wii has had alot of complaints for quite some time. Now with the new patch out I say. . . HOLY DAMN, they did good, not outstanding yet but it's getting there. For those who have yet to get this patch on the Wii version I highly recommend getting it now, just stop reading and turn on the game. Here's the stuff that you'l recognize right off the bat, and later I'll give away those that you might not of noticed.

Hacker Perk Fixed: The Hacker perk now works like Bomb Squad from previous CoD game where you can see explosives behind walls.

Second Chance Invicibility Glitch Fixed: Remember those guys on the ground who just won't die, no matter how much you shoot him, how much you grenade him, or tomahawk'd him he just wouldn't die, well they'll die now.

Previous Map Spam Done: Stop doing Nuketown over and over damnit, oh wait with the patch, you can only do the same map twice in multiplayer, no more of playing that same map again after that, thank god.

Playing Like how a Ninja Should: Ninja perk now works like the PS3 and 360 version, with complete silence.

Black Screens Reduced: Hate waiting to spawn for a long time, waiting is shorten now and you shouldn't complain as much as before if not at all.

Wins/Loss Errors Fixed: I have no idea what's up with this one to be honest, then again I never check my Win/Loss stats, well they're supposed to be accurate now.

Random Box Includes ALL: Random Box no longer has specific guns, even the guns on the wall you see in the game will be obtainable in the Box.

Zombies Limbs will Fly, But Zombies will Fall: Remember when you could only blow off the left arm of a Zombie? Now any limb can be shot, this will also increase the chances of getting an original crawler.

The New Stuff I Noticed Not Mentioned:

The easter egg from Kino Der Toten works like it should, remember the 3 meteorites? Try it now if you got the patch.

Private Match in Zombies replaced the "Leader Board" into "Change Map," at this point still no new maps unless I over looked something, but maps or no map this is a clear identification that Treyarch is planning on putting more Zombie maps on the Wii version, who knows "Wii" might get Five soon; don't get hopes up yet.

When you go on Multiplayer and right when you log on and select the lobby selection, I notice that there's an extra bar below "Combat Training," why did they do that is unknown but I have a theory they did that for a possible Shop selection.

These are all the ones I spotted, other sources I've been to say that there's a 6v6 on Hardcore mode now but I haven't played Hardcore yet so personally can't confirm but when I do I'll see if it's true or not, I believe by sight in these cases. (EDIT: I tried hardcore earlier today, this is NOT true unless it ment Prestige Hardcore which I have yet to unlock but I'll get there.)

Just from all that new stuff it's unknown what else might of been added in this one patch, however I tried the Nuketown "shoot the heads off the dummies easter egg" and it didn't work but like I said right now there's probably more hidden addition material in this patch. If you spot one great go ahead and tell it to everyone you know like you would probably do. . . I do that I'll be honest, if you don't want to tell about it who's complaining? If you haven't got this patch yet go get it now, you'll be more southed to the game than you have been, I have but not completely.

The "Change Map" thing got me so excited. But it was still only Kino... D:

And that Shop option needs to come now. They HAVE to put it in. I mean, it's in the dang Instruction Booklet.

And I have noticed that more limbs fly off as well. I was surprised that I found a crawler on Level 4. Random Box thing sucks though.

And finally, I'm getting tired of that damn Nuketown all the time!

From all this, I only noticed the Hacker one and I was wondering if it was actually working well :S

I'll download the update in a few, to check what was done about the annoying black screen (the only issue I really want fixed, because waiting 10+ seconds only to be respawn-killed is not funny ¬_¬)

If only they patched COD:BO sometime so you could edit your callsign. *_* and have a killcam. (why no killcam? :( )
The black screen fix really helped. I was •••••ing about napalm strikes on nuketown cause when I respawned a few seconds later I saw myself on fire.

Wow, the black screen problem is finally fixed! Now I can finally play this game a lot more (I need the practice anyway) :D

There's a small detail when I check my allies list, sometimes the rank of random people change to level 1, and stays like that for a while (it doesn't really affect the game but it's kinda weird :P)

The reason for no Killcam is because of RAM space, takes too much, same thing for the missing Killstreaks unless Treyarch finds a solution, personally I hope they find a way to let us customize emblems on our guns and/or customize red dot, but those too also was removed originally due to RAM, Five being left out was just late, RAM was not the reason and I just got carried away from the topic.

I hope so too. I got annoyed when I found out I was missing out on so many things that were in the trailer of COD:BO.

PS: Can I add you as an ally in BO?
