PS3 Black Ops Post Patch 1.06 – “No Xbox Live Party Chat”?

RipTen: Confusing, but not completely unexpected by PS3 CoD Black Ops Players. This morning PS3 Players received Patch 1.06 to fix continued issues. A PS3 black Ops player named tben posted a very curious picture on the Official CoD: Black Ops Forums; a Picture clearly of a PS3 screen with the words “No Xbox Live Party Chat”.

[KingNintendoFanboy]

Weird.

[CrzyFooL]

Does anybody do QA testing on these patches?

[Invadersims]

Nope, they give it to team of monkeys.

[Invadersims]

But, technically there isn't any Xbox Live Party Chat so the game isn't exactly lying.

[Istanbull]

Activision isn't even trying anymore, and you guys still play their games, sad.

[jaredhart]

@Invadersims lol

[Pixelated_Army]

Damn shame what they did to this franchise.

[I_find_it_funny]

Activision and Treyarch laugh in your face, don't you see that?

They say, exact quotation: "PS3 version, lmao what? you gonna buy anyway"

[rockleex]

They're basically saying:

"We gimped the PS3 version although World At War was equal on both systems, and you STILL buy it! We'll make fun of the PS3 version even more! MUUHAHAHAHAH!!!! >:D"

[Darth_Bane79]

What makes me more mad is the traffic all the people that buy this game cause in he morning http://www.treehugger.com/s...

[saladthieves]

How much fail can Treyarch deliver in less than 6 months?? ...and people keep on buying the game thinking that it's the best thing out there...clearly they are delusional. So much fail I have no words...just a picture

[AngryTypingGuy]

I doubt Activision and Treyarch are purposely gimping the PS3 version. They kind of compete with Infinity Ward in a way, who I think is having a hand in developing the next Modern Warfare. This is just incompetence on their part, and makes them look foolish.

[FinalSpartan]

thats pretty funny lol

Probably the player got his hopes up thinking PS3 had party chat.

[xAlmostPro]

surely this is proof that they don't check the ps3 version/patches very well -_-

i also find it funny that everytime they patch it about another 6 issues arise, how can patching issues such as "freezing" cause the game to display code from the 360's version? :L

anywhooo

[B-Real206]

The patches also go through Sony QA too.

[Pixelated_Army]

@B-Real

Sony's QA is to ensure that the supplied code won't have an adverse affect on their systems. This is more of an aesthetic problem and Treyach has total responsibility.

[Foliage]

They'll find a way to blame Sony though...

[Crazyglues]

The sad part is that now you have the proof that the PS3 version is just a sloppy port of the Xbox360 version.. Wow

The Games does sales of over a billion dollars, and all Activision does is just makes a port for the PS3 version...

-Now no-one says F..U... PS3 consumers better then good old Activision.

Please People Don't Buy Modern Warfare3 -it's time to send Activision a Message -you can shove that F------ Port Up Your --- Activision!!..

[etowntwo]

And yet year after year it's PS3's best selling game and most played game on PSN.

Crying gets your no where kid.

[RockmanII7]

It won't make a difference, there are millions of people that will buy MW3 regardless just because of the name.

[the_best_player]

Killzone 3 is all I need
http://i51.tinypic.com/116m...

[sobekflakmonkey]

@the_best_player That pic is epic.

[Dave1351]

I dont wanna buy it lol but i love call of duty and dont wannt play it on 360 or pc cause of the controls. So sadly i will be buying it lol.

[Crazyglues]

@Dave1351

Oh my God Dave, say it aint so... LoL -Dave your are just proving the stereotype right that people will but it just because it's the next Call Of Duty... so sad

Well at least you were honest, here is a bubble Dave1351 for just keeping it real and being honest...

I can't be mad at you for that... -:)

-But I will indeed be passing, as I am sure the game is going to suck... SledgeHammer doesn't have a clue, + they didn't even have enough time.. this game is coming out this year so it's seriously rushed..

It's just basically going to be a skin pack for MW2 with some silly ideas put in to make it seem like it has new game-play. (like jump to the floor and roll, now you can roll after you jump to the floor... )

[SnukaTheMan]

Hopeing that they get the better version..maybe..hopefully....b ut it will always the be the same as every ps3 game that is ported from the xbox...the inferior version.

[xAlmostPro]

I dont plan on buying the next game, theres far to many great shooters coming out this year .. killzone 3, bulletstorm, homefront, crysis2, brink, resistance 3, socom4, uncharted 3..

the only way i'll get the next COD is if it gets good reviews and my friends say its good and then if its running well on ps3 after a month of release, then i'll get it lol

[FanboyPunisher]

cool

[multips3fan]

ppl still black ops?i have not played the game for 2 weeks.it just boring.i been playing mass affect 2 n dead space 2 for hours.once kz3 comes out i really dont think ps3 players will touch B-O

[ngecenk]

it means activision has been anal probing ps3 user and yet somehow you guys still buy the poorly ported game.

[saladthieves]

Yet ANOTHER F.A.I.L from Treyarch.

[Drjft]

I'm sure Treyarch will fix this if it's a mistake.

[Joni-Ice]

Yes they will fix it but theres no excuse anymore. The amount of mistakes has cost them credibility.

[InTheLab]

I'm not a CoD hater...but when did Treyarch ever have any credibility? Google Treyarch's list of games. They're basically a B-Team developer that ports games to handhelds and other consoles.

When was the last time Treyarch created an IP? Yup...never. They've always inherited a well known franchise, made a few tweaks, and stamped Treyarch on the box.

I'm amazed everytime I see people praising Treyarch, when all they've done is take credit for the hardwork of better developers.

[Soldierone]

@InTheLab Ive been saying that since the whole "Treyarch blows IW away" crap started.

Its true and you hit it spot on.

[xAlmostPro]

yup they'll fix it so that the ps3 version displays xbox buttons on screen or something

[jaredhart]

FAIL!

[bfenty]

So, Call of Duty Black Ops has just been one giant fail, all around. Let's be honest, this is not really even that surprising.

[Joni-Ice]

I'll say this....If this is real, it confirms me never buying Activision games again. Why? It shows the level and detail of work they do. They are not taking their time making and fixing their games. However if its a joke then shame on that person. Joke not funny.

[MGRogue2017]

... Nice to see that they've put some hard work into the PS3's patch.

Well done, Treyarch.

/s

Not only did Treyarch port the game over from Xbox 360.. but they do the same with patches as well.. Ha, who would have thought?

[FAGOL]

Black Ops Beta for the PS3. Now availible for an amazing £40! Buy now!

[The Hunter]

Xross Voice (Party) chat CONFIRMED!! [/sarcasm]

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Sadly these patches are to late most of my ps3 friends dont play COD BO anymore they have become frustrated with it and got rid of it.

[RBLAZE1988]

That's honestly what i did. Sold it back cause i couldn't take the kicks, freezing and menu glitches that would start to make me worry that my ps3 was gonna explode if i played anymore blops.

[Soldierone]

Yeah, all the BO listings on my friends list switched to Mass Effect 2 and Dead Space, with a majority of their comments saying "waiting for killzone 3."

When I play BO i always get 5 or 6 messages "is it fixed yet" and sadly have to reply "nope."

[colombiankilla01]

I know right!!! Black ops makes my ps3 slow, it takes forever to accept a game invite!!! it feels like my ps3 has a virus, I used to love call of duty but now Im starting to hate it with passion!! I cant believe Activision have shat like this all over cod fans.

[Kran]

How can Treyarch redeem themselves? .... Im thinkin'..... Im thinkin'.................. ........... Im thinkin'.................. ............................... ............................... .......

[The_Zeitgeist]

People that bitch so much about Black Ops either have a bad internet connection, don't know how to play, or ared just jumping on the hate bandwagon. I was in the last column, until one day I realized that there are some minor connection issues, but at the end of the day Black Ops is fun as hell to play and a TON of people play it.

With that said, I'll drop it like a fly when Killzone 3 comes out next month.

[CrzyFooL]

That is the most bi-polar comment I have ever seen.

+1

[BlackTar187]

Crzyfool ROFL great comment.

[RBLAZE1988]

I don't have a shitty connection but the ps3 issues with blops are real and this is not bandwagon jumping. Are you saying i'm lying and i sold a game i paid $80 for, for $40 to gamestop cause i'm lying about these issues that are pretty serious and detrimental? Is that what you're saying?

[The_Zeitgeist]

You are a fool if you paid 80 bucks for a Call of Duty game.

[nycredude]

Bro games aren't $60 everywhere in the world.

maybe he bought teh collectors edition or something.

At this point in the game ANYONE who bought black ops or any COD game is a fool. We need to stop buying it!

[awesomeperson]

@Zeit, in Australia games are around 110 bucks per copy at the regular edition.

[theonlylolking]

I thought treyarch was dedicated to PS3? Bunch of liars

[Der_Kommandant]

They just keep sinking in sh!t

[TardcoreGamer]

Way to rub it in Treyarch. Couldn't give two sh*ts about a COD game anyway.

[Hitman0769]

Yeah sure there's no MS Party chat, but Treyarch didn't have to do any programming to make that even work for Black Oops, just paste a few lines of code from Microsoft.

Why didn't they put the extra time/money of not having to program that into an effort to program a better party system for PS3???

[csreynolds]

Quality Assurance for the win.

Bravo Treyarch, you've excelled yourselves once again... time you went into administration me thinks.

[yewles1]

This is worse than the PS Store glitch in NfS Shift.

[lugia 4000]

copy pasta is what gives.

[Solo227]

COD been some trash... Glad I stopped playing it a month after MW2 was released... Black Ops is garbage. And so is the COD franchise at this point. And the fact that they plan rush another one out says alot...

On a bad note tho... Im starting to get tired of Battlefield( The most realistic shooter ever made) Patiently waiting for BC3 to come out... With all the FPS coming out this year... Its gonna be interesting to see if COD fanboys open their freaking eyes...

Killzone 3 FTW!!

[DarkFantasy]

lmao sweet! XBL party chat is comeing to ps3!...but seriously after *TRY*yarch teasing us about party chat they should make us a cod party chat just for all the confusion..i mean come on they owe us that much :P

[artsaber]

That Treyarch just copy and paste code from the 360, and then edit here and there instead of developing their own PS3 version separately?

[RBLAZE1988]

Yea just think of all the money they saved by doing that. + all the profit they made from the 8+ million that bought the game on ps3. So sad for the industry

[LoneWanderer09]

Hahaha

[Gamer_Z]

This just shows that Black Ops was a strait port and that Tryarch/Activision never gave two shits about the PS3 version. Well these guys can go to hell, I'm never buying another Call of Duty game again unless they overhaul the whole system and engine and bring the quality up to this:

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

wishful thinking. we all know that cod will never get to those standards.

[DarkFantasy]

the way i see it right now..if you want a game that's close to call of duty..but better in every way then get crysis 2..you really can't compare KZ and cod,imo there's more similarities with crysis 2 and cod..I'm getting KZ3 and Crysis 2 and after that any need for a new COD would have been Terminated and unlike the terminator call of duty wont be back in my house lmao

[Gamer_Z]

I was thinking the same thing Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 and my FPS needs will be complete.

[problemchild84]

@ Gamer Z

God I cant wait for this game!!!! That dude in the video was wrecking shit!

[No FanS Land]

The same kind of error happened with the PS3 version of need for speed undercover.
"could not access the XBL store". Yeah that was poor QA

[theballa113092]

Seriously treyarch? Seriously!?

[Dellis]

I suggest they make the COD treyarch makes XBOX exclusives

the new games Modern Warfare series to PS3 exclusive

[Gawdl3y]

MW2 is even worse than Black Ops, so no.

[rbanke]

Well...It's true there is no Xbox Live party chat on my ps3. Thank you for noticing Treyarch.

[MeNoRasta]

I think the patch meant to be for xbox ...explains why ppl from the uk isnt getting the patch.

[Lyr1c]

First Activision takes down World of Starcraft...... And now this.

Activision is complete sh!t.

[StoneyYoshi]

doesn't matter for me anymore; just got back from trading it in for killzone 3. also if anybody else is still trying to get money for killzone 3, gamestop is having the 25% added trade in value towards preordering killzone 3. so my trade in value was 40 instead of 35 bucks. only got 15 left till my preorder is locked in!! cant wait.

[tawak]

i think this is more like on purposed, extra advertising for xbox 360 directly in to the face of ps3 owners,trying to fished the ps3 ownes to jump @ xbox 360.. good one activition and microsoft

[SuperStrokey1123]

Wow thats just stupid... MS and Activision are just way to close now lol.

[Neko_Mega]

Oops are bad Activtion says.

God this just shows how dumb they are.

[dkgshiz]

People deserve a medal. I managed to play BO for maybe a total of 9 hours the entire time I owned it. Some people play this every day for hours on ends. I would probably kill myself if I had to endure such trash.

[RevXM]

Gamer to war vet: "You fought in nam?
Shit well I survived Black ops"

Lmao just picture that...

Die activision!
You suck and you dont have "IW" anymore (Respawn FTW)
And leave Blizzard alone!

[--------]

I've never seen so many failed host migrations, hard freezes, frame-rate issues, non-existent hit detection, lag and disconnects in my life. I wouldn't be surprised if some milk mustached kid blows his brains out over this.

[No Way]

Hahahaha! Wait.. the hell?

[hoof123]

Definitely need to trade this game in.

[bayport]

Here is your proof of it being a Port!

[KillingAllFanboys]

Dude the patch fucking suck I am tired...of this shit. Gosh I didnt want to join the Call of Duty haters so I got Black Ops I fucking regret this shit like hell worst decision I made!!! I am selling this shit in a week and going to get Killzone 3 or LPB2 because I am tired of all these Call of duty shit!!! Activision you see this middle finger pointing at you yeaa that my finger bitches!!!

[m2345]

and that is why i don't buy cod games.

[xtremegamerage]

And that's what the kids don't understand.

You could have 5million playing a game online, doesn't mean i'm going to play it.

I don't buy or play what the masses play, i play what i want to play.

Same with reviews, review it yourself and if you love it. GREAT.

If you don't sell and play something else. Don't just play because it's what your friends play.

That is silly.

[Anti-Fanboyer]

This game was clearly designed all around for Xbox 360.

[sp1deynut]

...this is just Treyarch stating the obvious, while poking fun at Sony/PSN. Next, they'll release a patch that pops up "No cross-game chat either". :D

[Vip3r]

Really shows where your £40 is going to. C&P'ing from the 360 version can only go so far before the devs get bored of patching a game.

More reason to boycott all of Activisions games for good.

[--------]

There's also some buzz on the forums about a 'First Strike Countdown' clock displayed somewhere within the games menus on PS3, which states the release date for the DLC is the 1st of February. I haven't checked it out yet, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised. Killzone 3 will be a breath of fresh air.

[Kon]

Lol @ the bad port

[hadouken007]

Wtf!

[SkyCrawler]

Quoting South Park BP parody- "We're soorry, we're really sorry"

[Serinous]

haha developer fail

[Orionsangel]

It means that PS3 gets 360's leftovers. j/k lol

[kagon01]

Actually, you're quite accurate...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Orionsangel]

Well I own both systems. I can say these things. I just added J/K because I don't wanna get the PS3 Fanboys panties all up in a bunch. You know how these one system owners are. Always protecting their investment like a mother lioness protecting her cubs.

[skywalkeruk]

And the continuousness fails keep piling up and up. It's obvious they're tweaking the xbox version for the PS3 needs and not checking properly before they put it out. I'm embarrassed for them, can't believe what a complete fail this version has been for PS3 but I still think PS3 rules over the xbox any day of the week including weekends :P

[Rifkens]

Wow, console fags are such hypocrites, laughing at pc gamers cause their games are console ports. But then something like this comes up and now ps3 gamers are whining cause their console game is a console port. Not nice is it? All ive got to say is Lol@consolefags :)
