The Call of Duty Black Ops Title Update is finally live! It only took them a week and it should of never been a problem in the first place (matchmaking that is).
This is the patch that everyone still playing it has been looking for, or maybe even those that have stopped playing and waiting till it came out to play again.
Are you not getting the update? An easy way to force the update is clear your Xbox 360 System Cache and then put the disc back in to grab the newest update.
