The Call of Duty: World at War patch that was released today for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 added a new daytime version of the “Makin” multiplayer map, along with other new features and bug fixes.

The patch adds the re-lit map for free, which is fabulous and completely fair seeing that the PC version got the patch and the new map earlier this month. The map is included in the PS3 patch, but 360 owners will have to download it separately from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Hit the jump for the full list of patch features.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 patch includes the following:

Added support for downloadable maps – free downloadable map “Makin Day” now available to Xbox 360 & PS3.
Improved host migration functionality (PS3).
Improved geographical matchmaking (Xbox 360).
After Action Report now displays full post-game stats (PS3).
Nazi Zombies is now unlocked for solo & co-op games for EVERYONE in both private and public games!
Added defensive measures to prevent “Stats Reset” when corrupt data is detected.
Addressed issues where some solo progression data was lost when a player had collected Death Cards in a split-screen co-op game.
Patched all known MP map exploits – this fix will also prevent players from passing through geometry/terrain if a new hole is discovered.
Patched a number of Nazi Zombie exploits.
Addressed an issue commonly referred to as the “elevator glitch.”
Disabled “Rocket Jumping” – this eliminates the extra boost created by all explosive weapon types.
Addressed some score reporting anomalies in the War and CTF leaderboards.
Blocked the ability of players with lower level accounts from accessing higher-level Perks.
Addressed an issue in Search & Destroy where bomb planting/defusing was disabled when opening the overhead map.
Disabled ability to get unlimited ammo when prone with a deployed bipod.
Addressed an issue with Bouncing Betties triggering when the player is within the detonation radius but behind a solid wall.
