There's a bug on 360 that means you can't mute someone. If you press Y and press B whilst the tab that displays your friends list, then you can't mute. If you go onto another persons card, it doesn't show up and when you press B on that the friends list comes up again. So you have to go to one of the other 2 tabs, press B and then the mute thing will show.

I don't know what happened but I can't do well in this game anymore. It doesn't matter if I camp or run around, the end result is always the same. I get killed by someone in a random manner. I have Ghost Pro and Ninja Pro with a silenced weapon so the only way I should show up on the radar is if the enemy has an SR-71 Blackbird. It's so annoying to get killed by someone who randomly decides to look at a spot while aiming down their sights. The funny thing is, it's usually people with poor K/D ratios (ranging from 0.80 to 1.20). I might just go back to Modern Warfare 2 for a little bit. :/

That happens to me a lot Anaron, you're definitely not alone. I just don't understand sometimes how people know I'm there...especially when I have Sleight of Hand Pro so I'm a fast aimer.

It's very frustrating. :|

What really Hacker Pro do?

It allows you to booby trap enemy care packages as well as steal enemy killstreak rewards and equipment (e.g. sentry gun, SAM turret, claymore, etc). It also prevents you from being detected by enemy motion sensors.

That's porbably lag or some such; getting killed when out of the line of fire or bullets disappearing seem to be a huge issues in Black Ops.

Played around 100hrs now on Black Ops.

The game is buggy, I hope they fix the knifing issues.

The way you join matches is ridiculous, you can't join rooms that have a set map or people that are in control. Maybe that way is old school now but I miss it.

Some of the random ways to die are quite annoying, but other than that I can't stop playing the game. Getting closer to Prestige lvl. 3 now :)

My 2 cents on weapon packages.

#1

AK-47 - Reflex Sight w/ Burst reticule (red)

CZ75 - Extended Mag

Nevada Camo

Semtex Grenade

Flashbang

Claymore

Hardline Pro

Sleight of Hand Pro

Ninja Pro

Spy Plane

Attack Helicopter

Chopper Gunner

imo in terms of getting high kill streaks this is the best kit you can have.

I'd like to see other ppl's fav kits, and comment on mine :)

did anyone install the new patch (1.04) for the ps3 yet?

did it fix most of the problems the game had or did it get worst?

Got worse:

PS3 Gamers Outraged at Black Ops

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-12-15-ps3-gamers-outraged-at-black-ops

Oops - that still-warm Call of Duty: Black Ops patch seems to have amplified problems with PS3 online multiplayer.

"The retard patch 1.04" thread on the official Black Ops website has pages of dissenters sharing their frustration.

"GG [good game] to them making it a P2P game where the host gets hard freezes," posted an ironic I WTFMyself. "Such failures."

Suzuki1776 replied: "The game seems to be getting worse with each patch as far as connection issues. If you are going to be playing Black Ops a lot then get a 360. They seem to have a lot less issues than us PS3 players."

"I cant even begin to express words to describe how ****ed of I am at the hash of this game on the PS3," added an angry Saunter.

"... I am sick to the back teeth of them going on about how there going to patch the knife lunge and stupid little things like that when they wont even acknowledge the huge f*** up they've made on PS and still raked in mountains of money."

"Treyark [sic] have made a complete **** up on this one and they have ruined one of the biggest games of all time," he vented, with the caveat, "And seriously I do really like the game when I could play it."

Patch 1.04, now live, claims to "improve" matchmaking conditions for people with strict or moderate NAT types - precisely the problem many gamers now complain of.

Another of the tweaks was a "negative influencer" for spawn points, which should decrease the chance of returning to life in front of an enemy with a gun.

(All of the patch 1.04 fixes are documented over on the Call of Duty forum.)

"They killed the PS3 version," declared Eurogamer reader Astro-Creature.

"So no chance of them fixing that PS3 Alpha s*** they tried to pass off as retail then?" fumed fellow EG reader Acrid

Treyarch community manager Josh Olin has been accosted on Twitter about the problems. He, however, insists NAT problems are the responsibility of you and your router, not he and his developer.

"That means your Router has a strict NAT, causing your lag," Olin responded to an angry Triadgaming tweet.

"It's not the game," he insisted.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.

      Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.

      Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
