We both have been experiencing very bad connection interuptions. Last week Treyarch put out a patch (outsourced) for the PS3 BlackOPs which was a combo patch for both the PS3 and Xbox. It totally forked his system causing it to be unplayable and caused my PC to randomly reboot or crash. Interestingly it didn't negatively affect the Xbox (Microsoft) yet fixed their minor problems. This week they released another patch to fix the patch. It completely fixed all his PS3 problems and I have had only one crash. This is really a three part statement/question/rant. First being why do companies try to combine fixes or patches without testing them thoroughly? Save a few bucks at the players expense? Second, why do companies seem to cater to Microsoft first and foremost? Remember a while back when CoD4 came out? The Xbox got all the new maps weeks before the others and they got more maps EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE MORE PS3 USERS tenfold if not more......?????????? It seems to me they would cater more to where the money was (PS3) vs. the lesser bought game. Does MS actually have that much pull over the whole gaming/computer world that they can dictate such shenanigans? Third, why would it affect my computer? Or the router? Excess traffic causing failure? It did not seem to get hot to the touch. Before patch 2 I changed the router out for an old one and had the same problems so it looks to me as if the Playstation/BlackOPs was borking my system.
