Call Of Duty: Black Ops

[DivHunter]

You are kidding right?

More like console kills the game - If consoles were not around the level of graphics and game play of these games would be significantly better.

But as games are coming out and coded with 4yr old hardware in mind as opposed to what's available today or tomorrow, you always get a fking shit game which is but a shade of what it could be

They don't get it do they?

A PC can have 12 screens with higher than 'Full HD' res running a game or 1 screen and 10 screens with porn and one with SAU.

Consoles can only dream of connecting more than one that isn't a duplicate. Three at best if you have a few consoles and a few copies of Forza.

Only problem with pc is that everytime a new game comes out. You need to buy a new pc with better specs just to run it lolol

Btw whoever plays on ps3 add me: krzysiuR33

Even with PC only games it still comes down to supporting the wider audience which means lower specs. Wider audience = bigger sales. No use releasing a game that's amazing if it wont make money.

Steve! Hurry up and tell us how long the single player mode takes!? Does this one have spec ops levels? They were really good on MW2, added a lot of play time to it.

lolol...no

My LAN pc still runs a GTS250 which is a 9800GT which is a 8800GT which was launched in 2006. Seriously if the best you can do is 'you have to buy new hardware to play the newest most innovative games the way they were intended' you lose.

who gives a shit what you play it on just play it and enjoy!

[bozodos]

pity that most pc exlusives suck too.

If it wasn't for mindless kids who only play multiplayer, CoD would still have the epic campaigns it used to.

[R31Nismoid]

do you plan on getting black ops on your pc?

Of course not, i don't want a console designed game.

Plus MW2 was shit house. I wont waste my money again.

Friend of mine who plays online/PC - reckons its shit at this stage (game control mechanics are shit, but that'll be due to console IMO).

He plays all the FPS shooters - tier1, MW2, BC2 etc etc - so good enough of a review for me not to waste my money this time round.

I've not changed the major parts in my PC really for nearly 3 years.

Only thing I've changed was a graphics card, @ a cost of $150

I'd rather do that every 18-24 months than play games designed to run off 4yr old graphics

Some news regarding Multiplayer

Pressing select on the lobby screen will bring up a Host Selection Option.

These are:

DEFAULT - the game finds any host ANYWHERE in the world.

LOCALE - the game looks for hosts close to your location then expands it to far away hosts.

LOCALE ONLY - it will only search for hosts close to your location.

I choose LOCALE as it finds games quick and in oz. LOCALE ONLY takes freakin ages to find a game (and that's IF it finds one). Or if you want lag and shoot people from overseas (mostly Americans) then go for DEFAULT.

Some news regarding Multiplayer

i have some news for all the PC people.

this game runs on STEAM - if you dont have steam, the update takes AAAGGGGGGEEEEESSSS, 10 minutes and its at 4%

i will give you more info when the game installs and i can play

[krzysiu]

That's for the info Eli! Would have never checked. Shame we can't even get into a party

Dunno why so many people are hating on this game, I reckon its way better than MW2. It basically IS MW2 but with tons of new little features. Sure if you're the type to prestige 10x over and still rack up a year constantly online play you might see slight differences and problems, but for the casual gamer this game rocks.

I like the money system too, although I think it would've been better if guns didn't have level restrictions, but instead had higher costs for the later tier weapons. So you could save for your favourite gun, or just upgrade as you can afford them. The money is common enough to buy pretty much every gun, but not enough to modify them all (no doubt this will change once you level up). So you have to pick and choose which you like.

What guns is everyone using? My best so far is the Falil with red dot and silencer, or in smaller maps the AK74u with red dot and dual mags. I just unlocked the AUG too, but I don't think I like it. It shoots insanely fast and I find myself spraying a full clip just to kill one guy.

Finished the campaign. it was shite. MP is shite so far.

Might get better once rank gets near 30 or 40.

Maybe because MW2 was a steaming pile of turd?

Maybe because Treyarch ALWAYS just tweak something IW has already done and usually make it worse?

Those early COD campaigns were pretty sweet.

But how is worse? It's different, but that doesn't automatically mean its worse. Like I said most of the hardcore gamers hate this new versions because its not what they're used to. I hated MW2 (and the original) in the end because I'd log and everyone was multiple prestige and simply owned me. With this game I can keep decent kill/death ratio, at least for now.

You are playing a shooter on a console so you don't really count.

Having said that MW1 was great, physics were near arcade but it was pretty good and you could get to max level in 24 hours and get whatever loadout worked for you. Dedicated servers meant good pings for all. PB was updated often and a few servers were extremely aggressive at weeding out cheats.

Then IW said 'oh hai, we crapped this out and it seems to work ok on xbox - you should all buy it' sadly people did, more people than ever. I must admit it was a good marketing campaign and they probably could have included a dose of AIDS in the packaging and it still would have sold.

The fact that it took Treyarch, the far and away lesser developer up until MW2, to put what are standard features in games usually back was never a good sign.

Anyone who played most of the COD series knows that it was always the Treyarch offerings that were crap.

[N1GTR]

how long did single player take you to beat and on what difficulty?

3rd and hard to say. I started at 1am and played until 5am then slept, then woke up around 2 and played till 4, then went out and don't know what time I got back but had it done about an hour after coming home

AWESOME SECRET

At the main menu, press L1, R1, L1, R1, L2, R2, L2, R2. This will initiate an interactive mode that will eventually lead you to a special mode known as "Black Ops Zombies: Zombie Ops." I'm not going to say how to access Zombie Ops... I can't take all the fun out of it
