User blog comment:ItsBozzie/Patch 1.05 Released for PS3's Multiplayer/@comment-84.13.107.21-20101223115349

I've had a PS3 for years and I have to say, Black Ops is one of the buggiest games I've had. While previous games with multiplayer have given rare disconnections, Black Ops has enough problems to cause casual frustration on every game. Treyarch need to sort it out, right now, because they've sold us a damn-near defective product, which will harm the COD image on PS3.

@ Fizzywizzy, claymores disappear when you die as a player's equipment is limited in the interests of balance. You can only place a certain amount of equipment per life, and it cannot be re-supplied, but if your equipment didn't disappear after you die then you could potentially claymore the entire map, and overuse of explosives is something Treyarch are keen to discourage. Thus your equipment is limited to the duration of one life. This is also the reason that the Death Machine and Grim Reaper disappear when you die during use, as they are not limited by time. Incidentally, if you have been killed, your equipment doesn't disappear until after you finish watching a killcam, so you could watch in the hope that this is enough time for your claymore to be triggered.
