That was posted in the xbox.com forums.

There's already a thread about the patch. You could have posted al this info in there. Nice find though.

[hcky21rskor]

sorry, i saw that thread but it was mostly about the PS3 so i thought that i would make a new thread on just the 360. If an admin wants to move this to the already exsiting thread, please, feel free.

[A5Gunner]

Nice sounds like pretty good updates

[hcky21rskor]

I'm the most exicted about the sniper riles, that's like all i use and it deff. needs to be patched. There are times when i am dead on someone and i will shoot and not hit them, and then there are times when my crosshair's are completly off and i will end up getting a headshot.

Hooray for splitting up Deathmatch and Search & Destory on Hardcore!!!

[The mOBSCENE]

Optimized sniper rifle scope and ACOG scope accuracy. FINALLY!!

Sniping won't be frustrating anymore and the ACOG scope will actually be worth using.

[hcky21rskor]

When i logged in today i noticed that some of the patch looks like it has taken efftect. There is now Mercenary Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Search and Destry, and the map Showdown has been put back into the map roataion.

I have failed to see any changes in the sniper riffles and the ACOG scope (which really upsets me .) Also they have not changed the running speed when you have the P90, and the kill cam's have not been changed.


Shortly after posting this, i went back to the xbox forums and looked for some more information, and here is what i got:

"[Clarification: Playlist changes coming soon (in December) patch won't be through certification till after December]"
