Patch on the release day???

[Molenis]

I got this game earlier today, and when i put it into the PS3 it started patching?

What the...

Seriosly, why have a patch on the release day??? Also, what was in the patch???

It also looked liked it was patch 1.02 so it was the SECOND patch (1.01 first), seriously why make two patches on the release day???

Anyone knows?

I got this game before the release date, and I had to install a patch. 2pm on the 8th.

Maybe it was something to do with people who had it early found glitches, and Treyarch wanted them out of the way before release, but had already distributed the copies.

I think it was a multiplayer unlock. Designed to prevent people who got the game early from playing multiplayer before it was officially released.

However from playing it, theres a number of issues I've spotted that do need sorting, like the random 3-6 second freezes when a trophy pops up or you find intel.

Mine crashed for almost 10 seconds when I got the SOG Rules trophy. Indeed this is a problem.

Most games seem to have patches as soon as they come out, so I wouldn't need too much into it!

The patch was those bastards removing quickscoping from the game, and therefore essentially ruined a good part of the sniper rifles. It's not that I cant bare with scoping a little longer, it's just such a stupid thing to do! Most of the snipers aren't even one hit kill, which make them nearly impossible to use. Except the L96 or what it's name is. That weapon saves it somewhat.

i also had to install the patch yesterday seemed sort of strange after just buying it on release

I saw a guy with one of those dragon sniper rifles and he looked at a bad guy pressed the L1 button and as the gun zoomed I heard the gun fire and hit the guy with the X appearing before he looked into the scope and killed the bad guy. I don't think this may be due to lag because it was a kill cam and kill cams usually if not always show the "what really happened" during that moment.
I didn't see size of patch but it must of been only a few mbs due to how fast I downloaded it so I think it may have been a security update to prevent cheats or hacks.
