The Revolution DLC pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 came out yesterday for the Xbox 360, and with most of the Call of Duty map packs arriving to PS3 one month after the Xbox, the February 28th release date HMV posted could be true.
Before you can buy Revolution though, Treyarch has released patch 1.06 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 today. It contains a bunch of changes, which we put below:
New Features & Feature Improvements
- Added support for Live Streaming in all Public Match playlists.
- Added League Best from Season 1 to Player Card: If you played in multiple series and/or multiple teams then your highest division and rank will be displayed. The League Best will span all seasons. If you finish with a higher division rank in Season 2 then your new League Best will be displayed after Season 2.
- Added a Cumulative Daily Pool instead of a Weekly Pool in League Play. 200 Rank Points are added to a player’s pool every day. Points that are not used are rolled into the next day.
- Added 2 new pages to the Combat Record (the Combat Summary and Medals).
- Implemented sorting of Medals in the After Action Report.
- Lowered HUD threshold for the “low health” overlay to increase player’s awareness of low health.
- Added a “Go to Top” button for the League Leaderboard.
