"* Various map glitches fixed." - out of Summit?

I certainly hope not. What's accomplished by removing things that only make the game more lengthy (in terms of replay value) challenging and fun? Apparently Treyarch doesn't need an answer to that...

and I doubt they would've noticed the out of map trick on summit... even getting the care package where you want seems like a once in a lifetime occurrence.

It'll be gone even if they take the time to patch out of bounds places you can only reach with modified settings.

the dvar "fs_game" is back

modtools comes up next ?


somebody feel some changes or is that patch the same shit like the ps3 patch ?

First i can say i have less lags now(i have a dual core). Not really increased FPS but ty TA for this
Connect is back reconnect isnt. Connect would be helpful to join Friends on Xfire. idk if /connect works as a parameter on BlackOpsMP.exe


About the map glitches. I didnt test out of Summit but i can say they missed something. Heres an example:

Fixed: you cannot jump through the wall between the windows anymore on WMD

Not fixed: A huge glitch on Array is still possible:

On PS3 you can no longer get out of summit.
i prefer IW when it comes to jumps as Treyarch think that a jump will completley ruin the game.
More jumps have been patched on console than PC

That clipping fail on Array reminds me how much Treyarch fail at clipping

Awesome, time to try a few things

1) Its extremely easy to get the care package in the right place.
2) They have noticed it and is presumeably in the patch, because pre-patch they stated all the fixes that were coming up, and one of the many map exploits to be fixed was "Ability to avoid a killtrigger and get outside of the playable map area on Summit" or something along those lines.

It was there but never enable by console. I figured you meant console was now enabled, which would lead me to believe that mod loading (without modloader) would potentially be possible.

Havent had the time to do snooping, maybe tomorrow or the weekend

its not possible since you have to change the startup-command (+fsgame) and thats not available (will come when Modtools are released -Gameservers.com)

You need the public server files(BlackopsMP.exe) to do a random startup-command like fsgame. This Server is cracked then

Command line can be reached through steam and therefore private servers may be able to load a mod.

Edit: After testing, the commands set/seta/sets etc are all still missing, therefore no good.
