Anybody played the game in SP as i'm having trouble getting past the bit in the prison.When you go on the roof and get the harpoon at what part of the chopper do you shoot at,i suppose it is the chopper that you have to hit.

Can anyone say whether it's worth the $90 they charge us here for the game? How long is the SP on the difficulty you played on? Whats the multi like apart from the issues?

EDIT: found this on steam forums. looks interesting:

Seems he caught gameservers in a lie. trying to host 12 or so bo servers on one machine

that guy sounds like a half idiot saying he had a 1 gigabit connection with a 28 mb/s speed test

Also calling a Dual Intel Xeon 3.06Ghz CPUs,
a dual core lol

No pleasing some people,haha

We'd be pleased if their patches actually worked. I don't know why they'd release a patch a few days after launch, with all of the problems going on, and not have that patch fix them. It seems to be getting a little better, but it's still there. People on the forums say it didn't help.


I'm kinda glad it happened though. So many people bitched and complained about Medal of Honor. The PC community is really turning into a bunch of little whinny bitches.

And STILL after update we have Lag/Stuttering issues...its pathetic.

COD4,World at war & BC2 never had this problem.....why Black Ops?,Its not like its its a demanding game at all.

Im actualy dissapointed that they continue to use DX9 in new games,We have DX11 now guys COME ON!

This game uses ancient engine and ancient DX9....I get more fps in F1 2010, maxed out and that game looks great...


They screwed something up. During the game my GPU is at 10% all the time, while CPU is maxed out. I believe they didnt change something when porting the game from consoles.

The fix has fixed the latency problems, at least that's what people at steam are saying.


This is the worst game of 2010.

I like how they put about 100 cinematics and then tried to save space by creating emblems that are 10x10 pixels.........

I thought it was odd that they didn't have a beta testing.. well, a beta testing before the game was released. Since we kinda are beta testing it, we just had to pay $60 for it.

It's a shame this is happening, too. I'm really enjoying the game, it's just having a rough launch, and isn't being fixed very fast.


I checked Xfire yesterday, and the game was in like the top #5, and now it's #2, with COD4 at #4. Not sure if that's a little Xfire bug, but the game is pretty popular. I'll be patient and give the game a little while longer. I highly doubt it, but once this gets fixed, it would be nice to have some free DLC thrown our way..

It isn't a bug at all. If you are on about the days top games, it isn't all that surprising; what you are seeing is what happened at the release of MW2:

All of those that played CoD4 and other FPS games went and bought MW2, played it for a couple weeks - a couple months, got bored of it, went back to playing CoD4 and left only a (relatively) small number of people still playing MW2. Give it a few months at the absolute most, and you will see BO sat around 4th/5th, CoD4 will be back up to 2. The reason that LoL and WoW are still in 3rd and 1st place respectively, is because the sorts of people that play those games aren't generally the sorts of people that play FPS games, or that would trade large amounts of their play time for such games

Yeah i thought it was wierd there was no closed/open Beta for the game either,They wanted us to pay for the game in this state,then i bet they will fix the problem and then release some new DLC content for the game aswell and charge us £10 a time for them....im getting sick of game companies all using DLC these days its just pure greed.

It is only gonna get worse for pc gaming. I feel like it is the time to sell my quad core and switch back to DDR2 mobo. No point in improving my pc if games are crap.

Fairly simple actually....DON'T BUY IT.

I refuse to buy a DLC ever...specially 10 hours after release there was news about it. The problem is idiots buy it anyways and only make the problem worse. Soon you will buy the game for $70 and you wont be able to play till you buy some DLC packages for $10 a pop. You laugh but they would do it to you in a heart beat if they could. What kills me the most are the people who are like "it keeps the community active and helps gameplay" its called a open editor....every game with it has a thriving community.

The way its going though Twist,If we thought like that we would never have anything these days.

Just because you or me dont buy the DLC wont make one bit of diffrence because there will be like a billion other people that will,and the game companies know this.

Its all about max $$$,really gets on my tits.

Just tried out the Zombie mode in Black ops,I think this is the only part of the game that runs smoothly :D

Just got it in the mail today, I haven't played Call of Duty since the third one came out, so it will be interesting given all these comments.
