Great, I have to download another patch? What are they even changing anyway? How about a patch that gives us the missing Killstreaks!?
Well, since the Wii hardware apparently can't properly handle the missing killstreaks during a multiplayer match a patch won't help with that. Same reason the flamethrower had to be removed.

To my knowledge, the patches in Black Ops aren't really issued to add new features. They are mostly used to fix glitches and slow down hackers so that the online doesn't end up like the original Conduit. Games on other consoles like the 360 get this kind of update all the time.
They probably can add new features (I think I read somewhere that a "Shop" would be added later to allow DLC).
The most recent patch fixed a whole bunch of stuff, so in case anyone doesn't know what it did:
While using the Hacker Perk, you can now see equipment through walls, which is how it already is on the other systems. (So glad they fixed this, Hacker is much more useful now)
The black screen that appears when you respawn doesn't stay there nearly as long now, so you don't have to sit there unable to see for 10 seconds anymore.
The Ninja Perk's effectiveness has been increased (or "fixed" really, because it didn't really do much before)
Increased Headshot multiplyers for Sniper Rifles
Any Multiplayer Map can only be played a maximum of three times in a row, so no more playing Nuketown constantly
Prestige Emblems are now in the same order as other systems
The invincibility glitch in Second Chance has been patched
It is easier to make crawlers in Zombies now
All the Weapons you can buy off the wall in Zombies have also been put into the Mystery Box (no idea why, I'd rather see the weapons that are missing from the Box on the Wii version be added)
The song that plays when you find all three meteorites on Kino Der Toten supposedly works now, but I have yet to test it.
Spawning has been improved so you'll no longer spawn near enemies
There were also a few more less important things that were fixed, and I assume they also fixed any glitches/hacks that still existed.
However, two of the most interesting changes the patch brought involve the Menus for Multiplayer and Zombies. In Multiplayer, after you have connected to Black Ops Online, an extra space appears underneath the "Combat Training" option. You can't move your cursor in the space, but it makes me wonder what they plan to put there...
In a Zombies Private Match lobby, an option reading "Change Map" apprears under the "Start Match" option. This pretty much confirms that the First Strike Map Pack will be coming to Wii. Either that, or it at least shows that new Zombie maps are going to be made available in the future.

That may be where they plan to put the Shop mentioned in the instruction booklet.
So they basically gave us the stuff we should have got in the first place... Well at least they fixed hacker.
I played some Hardcore tonight and it was so boring and annoying. All anyone does in that mode is camp and wait for you to walk by them. Since I'm an active player, I was getting shot by all these campers everywhere I went. I eventually realized the only way to have fun on Hardcore: killing your teammates. But they only let you kill three until you get kicked.
