On the heels of the double XP weekend, Treyarch has released a new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Xbox 360. The same update will eventually be released for PS3 versions "soon."
You can check out a full list of notes for the update below, courtesy of Computer and Video Games.
New Features & Feature Improvements
