We have some good news for those of you with the PS3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, as we can confirm that patch update v1.03 is now live and available to download the next time you boot up the game.
We take our hats off to Treyarch for getting this update out fairly quickly after the PC patch, but there are no signs of the Xbox 360 patch yet.
What has been fixed?
