Black Ops Patch Released Mod Tools On The Way

Call of Duty: Black Ops on PC just recieved its latest patch on Steam.  The patch includes a multitude of fixes for the game that have been giving PC gamers fits for quite some time.  The patch is also laying the groundwork for the promised mod-tools that are coming for the game, which Josh Olin said are still being planned for an end of the month release.  With only a handful of days to go, we could see mod-tools for Black Ops on PC in as little as four days.
