Black Ops 2 title update will fix Theatre Mode, SMG and UAV requirements

20120502blops2_2

Black Ops 2 has a title update in the works which will include the reestablishment of Theatre Mode. Treyarch removed the feature after it was found it caused a Prestige glitch. Emblems was also deactivated, but the firm hasn’t said whether the it will return with the next title update or not. The update will also raise the score requirement for calling upon the lowest Scorestreak, UAVs, and the teams feels the current requirement for SMG penetration “is probably too high”. So, that will be looked into as well. The firm also released a troubleshooting guide for consoles which should help players experiencing lag during multiplayer. Thanks, CVG.
