Call Of Duty: Black Ops

[DivHunter]

yep I never finished single player, music is cool and its fun for a bit but you get over it pretty quick

my brother in law is a PC guy and he doesn't bother with the COD series, reckons the BF series much better for gaming PC

he watched me play COD on PS3 and was impressed tho, as Bozodos said its pretty seamless on console... black ops still isn't as smooth as MW2 for online though, I'm getting lots of drop outs etc, can be frustrating but I'm sure they'll patch it up

you can't really compare gaming PC with a 6 year old console... if you had a 6 year old PC and tried to play a newly released game your whole rig would melt into a pile of gray poop

Wrong.

A new game for the.....Commodore 64 was released this month.

shit and we got upset waiting for GT5!

[Beer Baron]

so the verdict then? I have both PS3 and x360 which should I buy it for?

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

*waits for ps3 fanboys to diss the xbox

Do you have other versions of COD richard? I would go for the console which you feel best about on the controller.. Big plus on PS3 is the online gaming doesnt incure any chargeswhere as xbox requires gold account..

As per the reviews the 360 kills the PS3 in all areas for performance.

hmm, ok. well i'm a PS boy from way back and had a PS3 since the jap launch day way back when. I only bought an exbox when I saw the new X360S version with standard wifi and 250gb HD etc. to be honest it was a waste of $500 for me as I've only used it literally twice. I'm used to the PS3 but might give black ops a go on xbox. liek you say though not looking forward to paying for online play when I've had it for free for so long. It's not like I'm on every day.

[EeLeYe]

The x360 version supposedly runs much smoother than the ps3 version and is more consistent regarding graphics dithering and such. If you don't mind paying for online, I'd go the x360 version.

[bozodos]

yeah somehow the PS3 version has shittier graphics and lower frame rates than the xpox version, Richard, I wouldn't bother buying it full price unless you're going to play it online all the time

video related: the first mission completed on Hardened without firing a shot LOL

[RusH_]

hmm he actually fired at least 5 rounds, that i saw (skipped through a little) (4 on the turret at the end as the plane leaves you) (one into whats his names head)

[mickey]

yeah he pointed out that that is there are 2 occasions in the mission where you have to actually do something...i.e. in the end sequence you have to get out of the plane to save them as you have to get captured and move on.

[Beer Baron]

nasty.

[EeLeYe]

LOL. I have to ask Tony, how the crap did you come across that??

On topic though, It's cool how they link the characters from the previous cod games with the new ones. Such as dimitri and reznov from world at war. You even use the WaW weapons in the mission where you find nova6. A similar thing goes with modern warfare 1 & 2.

Hey PC gamers:

We are listening to you and we’ve been busy working on updates based on feedback from the community. We have already deployed a number of updates, and there will be many more to come. Stay tuned right here for all the latest info.

IN PROGRESS

• Added an option to create shaders during load time. This fixes hitching when viewing a new area of the map for the first time on some video cards.

• Incomplete server browser results.

• Improvements to Quickmatch results (with better ping and reduced lag)..

• /connect

• /reconnect

• Improved threading performance on computers with only 2 cores.

• Fixed random freezes in certain computer configurations.

• Increased reserved slots to 9.

• Changed reserved slot kicked message to be more informative.

• Improvements to the spawn system to resolve an issue where negative spawn influencers from specific game events were not always being deleted after the danger had cleared – in some matches, this was causing good spawns to be erroneously flagged by the game as bad spawns, which in turn forced actual bad spawns to get selected later in the match

• Weekly and Monthly leaderboards will now track all kills, deaths and assists properly (All Time leaderboards were not affected by this)

• Prevention of killstreak selection getting disabled in Combat Training under rare conditions

• Array: Added collision to prevent players from partially clipping into a tree

• Launch: Added collision to prevent players from strafe jumping onto an invisible ledge at the base of the rocket near B3

• Summit: Added collision to prevent players from jumping to a location outside of the map boundary when in Custom Games where player speed is maxed out

• Havana: Added collision to prevent players from jumping onto an invisible ledge above a doorway at C2

• Nuketown: Adjusted a spawn point that would spawn players on top of a mannequin’s head when that mannequin was randomly spawned in that location

• Launch: User could access a small platform outside of the intended play space below the rocket gantry by jumping to a very specific location; now blocked from access

• Launch: User could access a small area inside geometry at vents near Dom flag A by going prone and moving around in a very specific location; now blocked from access

• Some users reported that weapon attachment challenges were not resetting after prestige; now all are guaranteed to clear as soon as selecting the prestige option

• Radar sweep when there are only 2 players left in One in the Chamber will stop functioning if the 2 players have multiple lives when the sweep starts

• Villa: User can clip into rock at west edge of grid zone B2 and see through to the other side

• Crisis: User can clip into LVT between grid zone A3 and B3 and see through to the other side

• User can get an infinite number of 'Sam Turret', 'Care Package' and 'Sentry Gun' killstreaks (commonly referred to as the “care package glitch”)

Ok, so I've had this game now since Saturday and played 3 nights of multiplayer... Liking the game as a 'Call of Duty' series addition.

However......

I am so sick of the bugs/glitches in this game. I have this persistant problem of the game freezing / not responding half way through a game, leaving me with the only option to Ctrl+Alt+Delete -> End Task..

Did a few searches online and most said to reinstall steam and the game itself. So I did that and low and behold, it did NOT resolve the issue.

Got the shits with it and blitzed my computer. Completely rebuilt it (Win7 Pro x64), and only did Windows Updates, Graphics Drivers, latest Steam and COD:BLOPS. After going through all this, it is STILL freezing up every 2 and a half games online.

Thanks Treyarch and Activision.. I don't want my money back as such, I just want to play the game. And of course it always freezes on multiplayer games where I'm actually doing well!!! GRRRR.
