Nieuwe patch voor Black Ops 2

De populaire shooter van Treyarch heeft onlangs een nieuwe patch gekregen. De patch voor Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 die reeds beschikbaar is voor de PC haalde een heleboel bugs uit de game. Daarnaast voegde de patch ook  wat meer balans toe. 

Treyarch kreeg de afgelopen maanden heel wat kritiek te verduren over die nieuwe balans van de wapens in de game en probeert met deze nieuwe patch de fans opnieuw tevreden te stellen. Ook nog enkele andere updates worden doorgevoerd aan de CODCast. Bovendien zal je vanaf nu ook de geschiedenis van alle leagues kunnen zien waaraan een team deelnam.
