Along with the new available Map Pack 2 , Treyarch have released a new patch which not only adds support for the new content, but fixes numerous bugs and glitches too. You will notice a TU / Patch downloading for Call of Duty: World at War just before Map Pack 2 goes live on the Xbox live Marketplace and Playstation Store .

Patch v1.5 applies to both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game and Treyarch Community Manager JD_2020 was kind enough to let us know in advance whats in store in the patch.

“This list applies to both platforms:

• Significantly streamlined MP matchmaking.
• Increased the number of safety checks in the MP spawn system to prevent players from spawning within the line of sight of an enemy.
• Implemented a new stats backup system – this system creates a regular backup snapshot of player stats; if the game detects data corruption, instead of attempting to reset the player to level 1, it will notify the player that their stats have been restored to the most recent backup.
• Addressed a rare occurrence referred to as the “dummy glitch” in MP, where players would appear to be prone in 3rd person but would have a standing view in 1st person.
• Patched several possible MP map exploits.
• Improved dog spawning in MP.
• Improved AI path-finding in Nazi Zombies to prevent potential exploits.

There are several additional minor improvements included with today’s update, but this list includes the most significant items.”
