The latest patch for Treyarch and Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops has just gone live on PlayStation 3, and once downloaded, will bring your version of the game up to 1.13.
According to a Twitter post by Treyarch community manager Josh Olin, the Xbox 360 version of this patch is still pending, but that shouldn’t stop PS3 gamers from grabbing their update and adding the following fixes and updates to their game:
With news of a fourth map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops surfacing today, Activision’s Dan Amrich sent out information and details on the content by way of an interview with Treyarch’s ‘creative lead for Zombies,’ Jimmy Zelinski.
If you were expecting a traditional Call of Duty map pack with Rezurrection, think again, because it’s all zombies all the time! And they’re in space?
They’re in space!
Following its timed exclusive release on Xbox 360 in late June, the Annihilation map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops is now available for PlayStation 3 owners of the game!
Treyarch community manager Josh Olin posted a message on Twitter a little while ago confirming the news:
In order to get all PlayStation 3 gamers ready for the release of the Annihilation multiplayer map pack tomorrow, Activision and Treyarch have released a new patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops that provides additional fixes and tweaks.
At this point in time, the Call of Duty franchise is a force of nature and has grown in leaps and bounds with every iteration of the series as each subsequent entry has gone on to outsell the last.
The biggest surprise came last year when Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops went on to break videogame sales records and outsell Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (which had previously broken sales records itself) with 5.6 million units sold on day one of availability in the US and the UK, generating $360 million in revenue.
[Update] A new pre-order listing on Steam has revealed that the Annihilation map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops will release for PC gamers on July 28th. [End of Update]
After having been released exclusively for Xbox 360 owners in late June, the Annihilation multiplayer map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops has today been given a late July release date for PlayStation 3, coinciding with a double XP weekend to celebrate.
To celebrate the release of the third map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops earlier this week, Activision and Treyarch promised to hold a Double XP weekend starting July 1st.
But oh, what’s this? It’s July 1st today? Let’s go!
Today marks the release of the third Call of Duty: Black Ops map pack, Annihilation, bringing with it four all-new multiplayer maps and a brand new zombie mode map.
According to developer Treyarch’s community manager Josh Olin, the Annihilation map pack is rolling out for Xbox 360 owners as you read this.
From a Twitter posting by Olin:
Shangri-La has long held a place in many an adventurer’s heart as a ‘Mecca’ of sorts, a mystical and magical place begging to be discovered and explored.
While on a routine patrol during a recent peacekeeping mission in Tibet, a group of US soldiers reportedly stumbled upon ancient ruins which they claimed to be the long-lost temples of the city of Shangr-La. After the group’s initial find a few weeks ago, all communication with the soldiers suddenly and mysteriously ceased… until now.
One of the marines was recently found dead in the outskirts of a jungle, in the possession of shocking video and photographic material showing how his squad was ripped to pieces by ghastly, otherworldly creatures.
We have acquired the material and included it below, but it is not for the faint of heart – parental guidance is advised:
Activision and Treyarch have together released a debut gameplay video for the third Call of Duty: Black Ops map pack, with healthy amounts of new in-game footage included.
The reported Limited Edition version of Call of Duty: Black Ops has been confirmed to be a real product thanks to word from Activision, and is indeed due for release on June 28th across North America at “all retailers.”
This special edition of Black Ops, which will retail for $59.99, will come standard with a token for the game’s very first set of downloadable content, the First Strike map pack, giving players access to five all new multiplayer maps.
But why doesn’t Activision throw in the second set of DLC, too, or wait until the third map pack is out to include that set as well?
The rumoured third map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops has today been formally announced by Activision and Treyarch with screenshots and a gameplay-packed developer diary, and the pair will once again bring Black Ops players four all-new multiplayer maps and a brand new zombie mode level.
Have you still not delved into the intense world of Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer?
Activision and Treyarch’s hefty first-person shooter is being played by well over 20 million people on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and you still haven’t tried it out?
Dang.
Well, if you fancy yourself as a player of PC games, then this weekend is your chance to jump into the mayhem, or drag a friend along for the ride!
Hail and well met, fair Call of Duty: Black Ops traveller. You’ve journeyed for many moons with nary a live fix or full title update. Come, rest a while and drink deeply of the latest patches, for you are weary of encroaching security concerns and generally odd in-game behaviour.
I say, bring your Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to the table – they are both welcome here:
Activision mouthpiece Dan Amrich (and social media manager for the company) has got very philosophical over on the PlayStation Blog and announced that a lengthy Double XP weekend will begin today for Call of Duty: Black Ops – exclusive to the PlayStation 3.
While PC and Xbox 360 gamers enjoyed similar treatment some weeks ago, PS3 owners were unfortunately left out of the fun due to that PlayStation Network downtime, but now Treyarch is making good on its promise to bring a new Double XP event to this breed of gamer.
