Today Treyarch has finally responded to the claims that Call of Duty: Black Ops is broken tanks to a number of fatal flaws, whether or not this is the case is still up in the air, but if early sales figures are anything to go by the game is selling like hotcakes. When a game breaks all sorts of sales records that means a huge amount of people are buying, and then playing, the game. What happens in a sitaution like this is that even a small majority of players, who are having problems, looks like it's that way for everyone; when in fact the gamers who are having a great time with Black Ops are too busy to play the game to get online and argue with a bunch of forum dwellers. Either way it's great to see that Treyarch Studios is taking this business serious and are already starting to work on getting patches out there for all three platforms (we believe the PC version already got one). Stay tuned for more details on Black Ops and it's patches right here at PlanetXbox360.com; we'll be sure to let you know when it's time to update your game. For now check out the statement below, from Treyarch's community manager Josh Olin:
"Hey Gamers,
We are listening to you and we’ve been busy working on updates based on feedback from the community. We have already deployed a number of updates, and there will be many more to come. Stay tuned right here for all the latest info.
