Black Ops Update:

Please Note That The Following Post Is From The Point Of View Of An Xbox-360 Gamer With No Help To PS3 Gamers :(.

On the 14th of December, 2010 (duh) , Call Of Duty: Black Ops saw a mere 10mb update.

For any of you that are wondering what said update did; basically , the update patched the golden gun glitch and removed K.V.P.

Now, In more detail, the golden gun glitch was availible by having a friend with a J-Tag who made combat training kills 50,000 xp per kill, then with a friend the lobby, prestige you. You'd get to 15th Prestige and the J-Tag could transfer the rank unlockables to your player match folder so, for 50,000 cod points, you could buy a golden camo, regardless of rank.

Now, K.V.P, means Killer Viewing Perks, basically for any of you Search and Destroy enthusiasts, you will have found that when spectating another player , you'd see the perks of YOUR killer in the place of where, in previoius call of duty's you'd see the perks of the player you're viewing currently. This update has cancelled that, however ,we're yet to see any perks of the playe. Despite Treyarch's Call Of Duty: World At War this was not an issue.

Hope that helped 360JoyPad viewers :).

Stay tuned, or whatever you call it when involving a website, for more posts on black ops updates or Message me at:

See you later :)
