Treyarch hat bestätigt , dass die Arbeiten an Patch 1.6 für Call of Duty: World at War (ab 19,98€ bei kaufen) offiziell beendet sind. Derzeit wird das Update bei Publisher Activision im Rahmen der Qualitätssicherung getestet. Neben den drei Multiplayer-Maps Battery (mp_drum), Breach (mp_bgate) und Revolution (mp_vodka) sowie der Zombie-Karte "Der Riese" (nicht für die deutsche Version) soll der Patch 1.6 auch einige Fehler und Bugs aus der Welt schaffen.

Below is a list of what is included in the patch:
- 3 new Multiplayer maps: Battery (mp_drum), Breach (mp_bgate), Revolution (mp_vodka)!
- New Nazi Zombie map: Der Riese (nazi_zombie_factory), an all-new Zombie map set in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, Teleporters, and many more undead hordes!
- Exploits pertaining to Demo playback.
- Favorites list now ignores filter settings.
- Fixed S&D round counting error when roundlimit is reached.
- New feature: in-game Add to Favorites.
- Friends list: green online indicator.
- Starting the game in Safe Mode will no longer toggle the "Soften Smoke Edges" graphic option.
- Fixed various crashes.
- Mods: Client will no longer join a modded Co-op server via Game Invite unless they have that mod loaded.
- Mods: Client running a mod will be asked to unload the mod if they attempt to join an unmodded server.
- Mods: All singleplayer levels can now be run with a mod loaded.

Additionally, we do expect a concurrent release of the Mod Tools 1.4 package, Linux dedicated 1.6 bins, and the Steam 1.6 day-of-date with this patch. More details on those will be made available once they get cleared through testing.
