My PS4 just started downloading the 1.02 update for Black Ops 3, I've preloaded the game already.

Will update the patch notes.

Edit. Patch note is "Security and stability fixes"

GenericUser · Nov 4, 2015

that small?

omonimo · Nov 4, 2015

Jeez. Will never end.

ncslamm · Nov 4, 2015

Yeah it went live late last night. I've already got mine downloaded. I got the DD edition for ps4 and it doesn't show the nuk3town or giant map downloaded. Anyone else get this? Maybe it's already included in my DD download.

Tenebrous · Nov 4, 2015

2.7GB seems... Reasonable compared to some other games lately. Still sucks for people with a lower cap, but it could be worse.

T.O.P · Nov 4, 2015

It's ok, downloading the whole game scares me more atm lol

Hesemonni · Nov 4, 2015

Halo 5 had a, what, 9GB day one patch?

BokehKing · Nov 4, 2015

2 gigs of Easter eggs

KingBroly · Nov 4, 2015

Smaller than most at least.

Big Day 1 Patches make me wish anyone could download them early if you were planning to buy a retail copy. I don't get why they don't do that.

Same I got no Nuketown or The giant so I'm kinda worried lol

bigkrev · Nov 4, 2015

Seems small TBH

MiguelItUp · Nov 4, 2015

It's a shame that this is standard nowadays, I mean, I remember it when the game we'd get day 1 was a solid build! It could always be worse though. I mean, there are flukes and instances where those patches help out quite a bit. Well and it could always be worse when the patch is like 4+GBs lol. I guess 2.7GBs is fair compared to other examples.

CrashPrime · Nov 4, 2015

Is there a way to grab this if I'm getting the physical disc? Best Buy preorder bonus was too strong. $48 and a $10 reward certificate making it an effective $38 day one.

I don't want to get home from midnight launch and download that patch.

Hell even if it isn't downloaded the file size can't be that big. I won't be able to play till around 9am Friday so maybe i'll be good by the time i get home.

Tak3n · Nov 4, 2015

you know (I will say it) we live in a digital age now, this Gen has all been about connectivity and 24/7 access and day 1 patches...it is not the end of the world, and to be honest (in a nice way) if you live in a area where your internet is really crap that is not the rest of the worlds fault is it? at some point we have to accept that the vast majority of people now have fast* internet and as such games et al should be OK with large patches.

that sounds awfully like a screw you post, but it is not far from it

* fast being subjective of course, here in the UK the Government considers 2MB fast (I do not)

c0de · Nov 4, 2015

Inevitable.

Its the rest of the Tony Hawk campaign.

Same for me. I'm in the US too. Everyone keeps saying it's downloaded within the 47 gigs. But if it was downloaded, we would be able to see in the Addons section, no?
Let's hope Sony releases it today or tomorrow, before the game launches!

Wagram · Nov 4, 2015

Patches are likely only going to increase in size. It's not the mid 2000s anymore where data is some-what small. Sucks for people with data caps though.

ItsTheNew · Nov 4, 2015

Great. Improve that game so it's nearly bug free when I get it!

Thing is I got the day off so I'll wake up before it unlocks first thing I'm doing is zombies for sure

Zombie James · Nov 4, 2015

You have to give better patch notes than that.

Falchion · Nov 4, 2015

It's preloaded on my One so hopefully it's already grabbed it. I loved being able to be in a Halo 5 Warzone match at 12:02 am on launch day and I'm looking forward to the same thing on Black Ops.

CHC · Nov 4, 2015

Should it really be a surprise? Games take time to make, you either settle for a day 1 patch or accept that it would have delayed the game by 2 weeks instead. I'll take the former.

xDUMPWEEDx · Nov 4, 2015

I have no problem with day 1 patches. The dev teams continue to work on the game after it has gone gold and this progress is represented in the form of the day 1 patch. Publishers will not allow a delay.

Soulflarz · Nov 4, 2015

Welp
We hit stockholm syndrome on it when we suddenly view 2.7gb as small instead of "why the hell isn't the launched game on my disk the full thing"

kuYuri · Nov 4, 2015

Somewhat related, Nvidia Game Ready drivers for Black Ops III PC also up.

Only really an issue if the patch download takes longer than the disc install.

Thanks! Will take me 3-4 hours to download this once i pop the disc in on Friday!

I'm mostly multiplayer. I've never even touched zombies but I probably will this time around. Add me on PSN if you want: ncslamm.

Darrenf · Nov 4, 2015

I guess I'll play the campaign while it downloads.

What internet connection are you on? 2.7 gigs takes longer than an install, and I'm on a 100megabit connection. Add in the fact that some people actually get terrible speeds on psn (I've personally never experienced it, but if so many people note it, I'll assume it does exist) and yeah it's not good.

Added I used to be all about the PVP but Ghosts and AW ruined that for me .

Darryl M R · Nov 4, 2015

If my PS4 pre-loaded the game will I be able to go in and download any patch before the game goes live for me?

Should download automatically AFAIK

RoboPlato · Nov 4, 2015

Large file size is a bummer. Over a gig and these become a nuisance.

I hate how CoD always has the most vague patch notes possible. At least let us find out what's being improved.

clem84 · Nov 4, 2015

It's a way for publishers to meet a deadline. "Guys we have an extra month for QA. We can just patch all the last minute stuff in on launch day." It's really sad that this has become the norm for console games. What's on the disc in some cases is almost broken.

I just got this patch too, was wondering what it was about.

omonimo said:

Why would it? We're in a time where developers can work to make their game able to pass certification but they still have a window to improve even more for people who have an internet connection.

I didn't like either of them but I still played from time to time. I never got anywhere near the level that I was on COD4 through BO2 but that's everyone. I've been playing Ghosts Infected mode this week while waiting for BO3. I had to give Rocket League a rest and just bought a Cinch controller so I needed an excuse to try it out.

Would delaying the game be better?

If the technology of patching games is possible, then definitely take advantage of it. I am glad companies can fix bugs and glitches in games. Games definitely take more development time now than before, so I am glad companies have the opportunity to deliver to us a consistently better product.

Fixing and improving games before they ship?

RdN · Nov 4, 2015

Par for the course.

Goldenelementxl · Nov 4, 2015

And here I thought I was ready to roll. I have no problem with patching games at release just as long as it works.

Nice I got a grey controller before BO3 comes out because my old one got button issues good to go day one !

Right? Didn't freaking Nintendo do that with Smash 4 3DS?

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
