The patch has landed. See for details.

For more information on the feature patch, please see this post and this one, which also has information on the exploits that hackers have used to cheat the game.

Rumours abound on the internets this morning as sources, specifically an Infinity Ward employee are saying that the PS3 feature patch will be out within a week. No word on whether this is worldwide, after all we know that SCEE like to scrutinise everything in case it is damaging or offensive to our poor European sensibilities. However it is good news as it adds host switiching mid game, so no more ‘host disconnected’ messages before getting the boot out onto the main menu.I Am Four Two Zero via PS3 Forums.
