Black Ops 2 PS3 Update Released, Adds New Features

Treyarch has listened to the community and released an all new update for the PlayStation 3 version of Black Ops 2, which addresses a number of significant issues faced by players on that version of the game, as well as adding new features.

The new features include new prestige level calling cards for each prestige level, which are retroactive for anyone who's already earned prestige levels.

Players also now have the ability to control the last Scorestreak called when calling in multiple remote controllable Scorestreaks.

The game's League Lobbies will display Team Rank next to each Team Members name, you'll never be amiss at who you're going up against in the mode.

For players who run their own servers, Treyarch has added Suicide and Team Killed Penalties to the Game Rules/Spawn Rules settings menu for custom games, and provided admins with an ability to kick players who commit suicide too often in a game.

Beyond the addition of these features, Treyarch has fixed dozens of multiplayer issues and added some game balancing for spawn points in Capture the Flag mode.
