Highest settings = lag :p

flawed...game lol

I managed to beat a member of Team Dignitas though, which is nice :D

=EDIT=

k back home now, so can write properly :)

Full settings + 3D + very high projector resolution + GTX580 SLI = Lag :confused:

It should be plowing through a DX9 game no problems, even with 3D and at high resolutions. I played on their "normal" systems, which were i7 950, GTX 480 + 6GB memory, and they were lagging. These are very high end systems that should be destroying the game
I played SP at 1920x1200, 2xAA, and extra texture settings with VSYNC and had no lag at all. I have my i7 and 4870 X2 at stock speeds too!

I got the game installed last night and played a little bit of it(single player) up to the point where you get on the plane and the plane blows up on me trying to take off. Is there a patch available for single player? I've looked on the call of duty website but can't find anything.

MP is slower than SP, and also you are looking at higher AA on the systems we were on

Same settings on MP too, I'll try higher AA and see how much performance drops. But IMO, when you play at high resolutions such as 1920x1200, 2x AA is usually more then enough when using the highest settings.

You're aware that every one is experiencing lag, in SP and MP, and it's a game issue.. right?

I'm not getting much lag anymore in multiplayer. The recent patched apparently fixed SP, and worked a bit on MP.

I bought the game at Gamestop, but it installed with Steam, and when the recent patch hit, I had to restart Steam and it took effect. Someone from Kotaku posted that the patch improved SP, and worked a bit on MP.

I should point out when I say lag, I'm talking dropping to as low as 20 fps every couple seconds. A system the likes of which were there should have been having constant few hundred fps no matter what is on screen

=EDIT=

@ G4m3rof1337 yes I am, and it shouldn't be the case. With a system worth thousands of dollars, it should be able to play any game at release or otherwise, even if it has performance issues, flawlessly

All that matters to me is if it's playable, I could care less if it drops from 200FPS to 125FPS (I know you said it dipped down to 20FPS, this is just an example). I haven't tried higher AA yet, but again with 2X AA with the rest of the settings maxed out, I never noticed any lag, even in intense action scenes.

It shouldn't but it is. Whether your system is worth thousands of dollars or it's the best system ever, if the game isn't capable of running properly, it's the game's fault. They're working on it.

When you are on 20fps, unexpectadly, and the other person is on the fps they should be at the time, they have an advantage. That sort of gets evened out later down the line when someone else is having the performance lag and you have normal performance, but both should have consistent performance with very little fluctuation

And I still don't think they should be allowed to release a game that is that buggy, but I said that before, you said what you thought before, so I think it best to just agree to disagree on that one

I agree,It should never have been released in this state,I want to know why the hell there was no Open/Closed Beta testing of this game,Then they would not have had all these problems.

Ive been playing it (when i can) and imo the things that must be changed are the following.

  • Bunnyhopping/jumping should be disabled in the multiplayer,There isnt any need for it.
  • Diving to the floor (not sure what the call it),But yeah every game ive been in so far all the do is Drop to the floor like a noob.
  • Knife is way way over powered,some people are not using guns at all exept just running around very fast knifing you in the back.

They have a name for that, it's called America's Army 3 lol.
Nah but on a serious note, they really should take all those things out, especially since well... c'mon jumping? You have god knows how much weight on you and for some reason people are beginning to think the game is realistic:confused:
And with the knife, you have armour that stops bullets but can't stop a knife? Just saying.

Again I can't properly comment until I play it, just some observations.

Most (soft) body armor such as kevlar based bullet resistant vests are not knife resistant.

I haven't played the game yet either.

Still though, online is a (LOT) better than MW2, and is way more balanced. I think I've only been noobtubed once or twice, where as in MW2 it was constant so I'm happy with it at the moment (PS3)

What weapons are yous using at the momnet? My primary is an AK47u Grip and my secondary assault is a FAMAS silcened.

call of duty is not, does not claim to be, and never will be a realistic shooter. people seem to assume that just because it's not halo and it utilizes actual weapons that the mechanics of the game automatically should be realistic. NO, call of duty IS NOT supposed to simulate real warfare!

btw this is the most balanced and therefore the best call of duty game that has ever been made. let's just hope it isn't riddled with game-breaking exploits like MW2 was.

I use the Ak74u with grip and extended mag, for assault i use the AK47 with suppressor, and red dot. When I feel like a little sniping I use the WA2000 with an acog. I think the sniper is pretty useless with the regular scope though, by the time you pull of the scope, and it stops shaking the guy is already gone.

The game is pretty good though, a lot better then MW2 anyways.

There was an ad on a couple nights ago and it was marketed as realistic, then again that could of been one of the critic quotes, dunno. I guess it just annoys me that people assume it's realistic, as in, everyone I talk to about it thinks it is (damn nerds haha).

Okay I played it last night at a friends, I guess I am bias but I really don't like the game. I just don't like the run 'n gun part of it, I'm sorry that's just me, add to it the lag and that brought it down for me.

Oh and Bomber, regarding the knife part, it was on some other forums saying that the armour these guys should be wearing the knife would shatter. But again it's not as realistic as it should be haha.

You guys realize that if COD or another game didn't include jumping, prone, and knifing, and even made it realistic, people would bitch. And that's absolutely fine. Because if you guys wanted realism, then you should only be able to die once and that's it. COD is fine the way it is, always has been, and always will.

I need to jump in order to get to different places on the map. I need to go prone to be able to remain as unseen as possible when shooting. I also enjoy a good knife kill, very fulfilling.

I am glad though that not every game implements the ability to go prone. Since I recall some people complaining that you couldn't do so in MOH. If you don't like it, either do it to them or don't play the game.

Anyone who has been in the military knows that prone is probably the position of choice and is very realistic as it reduces your exposure to enemey weapon targeting drastically. A game without prone is very unrealistic. This isnt a simulator anyway, play ArmA if you want that, (very boring IMHO) - this is essentially an arcade. People need to chill out. Black Ops is by far the best COD release thus far, the sound quality is amazing (much more realistic), the graphics are as good as or better than MW/MW2 and the MP version rocks. They just need to fix the lag issue and the broken spawning algorythm and a couple of glitches. I am sure they will. I bet we will look back and laugh at the complete bitches complaining about such trivial things.
