The Black Ops Cold War developers confirmed the surprise Dec 9 update was to “address a few issues” created by the first patch they deployed this week.

“We’ve addressed a few issues that managed to slip through the cracks following yesterday’s quality-of-life update,” they wrote in the Black Ops Cold War blog post.

These issues mainly related to multiplayer and zombies. Treyarch returned Nuketown ‘84 to the Onslaught playlist, and re-added map voting. The selection feature was accidentally disabled, they revealed, in yesterday’s Dec 8 update.

Cleaning up Tuesday’s patch wasn’t the only thing included in the latest Black Ops Cold War update, however.

Treyarch also added 12v12 Miami to Combined Arms, and loaded up more Pack-a-Punch Ray Gun camos for Zombies. There were also a number of pressing “stability improvements” shipped on Dec. 9, as well as several long-awaited UI fixes.

The December 9 update is now live on all consoles, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as well as on PC.

Check out the full patch notes below.
