Black Ops 2 Patch (2/26/2014)

[Dahniska]

Got signed out about 5 minutes ago for my game to update. I've looked and haven't found what has been patched yet, so if anyone knows what was fixed, please post it here!

Hopefully Treyarch finally got around to fixing a lot of the glitches that still plague Zombies such as the Die Rise wall glitches, the fist/knife glitches in Origins, fire staff and more.

Edit: According to my sources, all that was added was "a number of security system enhancements".

Such a shame, could have fixed some stuff in our game, oh well.

This morning there was actual notes in that post. It seems to be replaced with "Temp" now.

 

Everything Zombie related was on Origins. Just lots of glitches being patched, many with the tank, a few with the staves.

Nearly everything in the store is half price. At least it is on Xbox. 

Because BO2 still uses MS points and I have all maps, I dunno the price when you go to purchase the items. 

 

Season pass is 3200  (STILL?!?)

Nuketown Zombies is 200 

Revolution/Uprising/Vengeance/Apocalypse is 600 (600x4 = 2400) 

All personalization packs are now 80. Along with the Extra Slots pack& calling cards pack. (Around £0.72 in UK money)

Those fixes are actually from the september patch, Rissole.

The only thing that got patched this time was the security thing.

[Rissole25]

Oh god I'm such an idiot haha.

Ugh that's not much. Nothing to do with Zombies either. Thought they were stepping up their game but nope.

[Hells Warrrior]

Even for September, that's a hell of a lot of fixes for a single map.

[thedinobot]

• Players can no longer get to unintended areas of the map using Panzer Soldat’s claw attack.

 

 

That is not really fixed. Unless by fixed they mean you automatically die. This happened to me this week near the jug area :[

[DeathBringerZen]

I messed around on Tranzit, Die Rise and Origins last night and found nothing to be different, and I also managed to die on the tank STILL! So, I don't think anything in-game was patched.

 

Strange though, as the update was 84mb, and I am sure that is the biggest title update there has been for Black Ops 2 since release. Why add 84mb of data if they were just removing Elite!?

 

Hmm...

[TheNathanNS]

Wait, Elite was removed?

 

 

Haaaaaaaaa. 

[DeathBringerZen]

Wait, Elite was removed?

 

 

Haaaaaaaaa. 

 

Yeah. I read somewhere that there was an exploit in the game that could expose users billing information also, but without official confirmation, that is just hearsay.

[TheNathanNS]

That actually doesn't surprise me in the least to be honest.

 

There will always be security flaws, you just have to wait for some guy with nothing better to do to expose them.

 

Plus, I'm pretty sure most people would be after the iOS & OS X Mavericks security flaw rather than COD's. 

[DeathBringerZen]

Yeah, it makes perfect sense as to the reason for a patch to drop now, some 5 months after the last patch. It would also be understandable that they did not reveal this to be the reason, so as not to bring any negative attention towards the franchise, but most instances of this type of thing happening usually get reported on quickly, so without anything official, I can only take it as idle gossip just now.

 

Again though... 84mb seems like an awful lot to add to a game when all you are doing is removing something?

[lead_psychopath]

Two things I'm wondering:

Firstly, I wonder can they introduce loads of changes in a patch, but not have them instigated ( I can't think of a better word)? What if they have put a wonderfizz on all maps, and fixed a load of things, or maybe added different things, but they will release a hot fix to make all of the patch changes to happen? I'm not sure if that's possible though.

And secondly, remember a few months back there was that "leak" of the map Eclipse ( a remake of Shangri la), I'm kind of wondering wether there might be more DLC announced for BO2.

They can easily add stuff via an update, but not have it triggered yet. They did it with the Mark II on the weekend before DLC drop.

 

As good as it would be to have stuff added to the map, I am seriously doubting it this far in now. It would make sense if they did though to cushion the blow of the news that we will be waiting over a year and a half till the next outing, but I just don't see it happening unfortunately.

[TheNathanNS]

I ain't noticed anything different aside from the map packs being half price. 

 

Also I rarely ever used Elite.

 

I signed in at the release of BO2, last updated before Die Rise and never updated again. :/

[Naitrax]

PS3 received this patch today, the 28th February 2014 (in Aus at least.)
Same description, but since when has it ever said "New Cool Features Added"?

I think this could be the TranZit update to "finish" the quest, but I HIGHLY doubt it. Might try and do some tests, see if things are there or are new.

Side note: Has anyone ever seen the numbers on the Garage doors at Diner? Never noticed them until today...

Those personalization packs which will be available on march 4th are likely in this patch.

Meaning if you buy them, you'll only download a small text file that gives you access to the packs.

Happens all the time, highly efficient way of dealing with more smaller DLC.

[MegaAfroMan]

It's not just efficent, it's also necessary. In order for your system to understand the strings of code refering to the new weapon camos, it needs to have those weapon camos taught to it.

So things like the peacekeeper, and weapon camos and such that ALL players can see redardless of DLC are actually included in updates.

True, but each camo skin wrap will be about 2mb each, so still leaves a lot of megabites that are unaccounted for.

Still... even getting camo skins this far on gives us renewed hope of something... ANYTHING still coming for zombies. It would also make sense that they could potentially delay any new drop seeing as we still have a loooooooong way to go until the next installment.

I am not going to build up my hopes though.

[Hells Warrrior]

We don't get anything cool, it wasn't expected, if we do, great it wasn't expected.

[lead_psychopath]

I've just had a thought, I wonder if they've changed the Origins easter egg ending, or added something to it?

Highly unlikely, but imagine if they had!

They have not unfortunately.

 

I completed it on the night of the patch and it was just the same, cringe worthy, sad excuse for a cliffhanger(?).
