Yesterday, Tuesday 25th January 2011, Treyarch released patch number 1.06 for Call of Duty Black Ops. What I cannot comprehend, with regards to this game, is why it was released to the general public when it was practically unplayable – well the PS3 version was anyway. Admittedly, the previous patches have fixed the game, somewhat, but it is still lagging, glitching and crashing even with this new 1.06 patch.
I have two theories:- Either Treyarch's programmers' imagination, and vision, outstretched their technical abilities. Or, Treyarch's parent company, Activision, were not willing to part with some of their profits from the previous COD releases to purchase a decent dedicated Server network. The truth is no matter how many patches, fixes and alterations Treyarch make to this game it will not alter the fact that installing dedicated Servers in the first place would have cured possibly 70% of Black Ops problems.
The sad fact is that until there is a change at management level at Activision, the online issues with the Call of Duty franchise will continue with all future COD releases.
Give us dedicated Servers you tight bastards......
