I know right! The M60 sounds like the BB Gun in Fallout 3 :mad:

The effort put into WaW by Treyarch clearly isn't there. The fact that with WaW they actually went and recorded real weapons from the time doing everything (being shot, reloading, being heard from different distances, areas etc, hitting different materials) to use in the game, and then clearly just didn't for this, shows how the game was made purely to make money, not for quality

Well they released yet another update for this game,AND ITS MADE IT WORSE! for me anyway and according to nearly everyone on the Steam forums.

Theres now mouse lag on the menus,and when in game its unplayable and im getting 13fps....where before it was in the 75-80s but playable with some minor lag.

Its just pathetic,i mean how long as the game been out now?....they need to get their crap sorted prompt.

It's been out for 11 days, lol. I updated and experienced the menu-mouse lag, but I was already getting that pre-patch #2. I played some games and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I joined a game, it lagged for a little bit, and then was mostly smooth and fine with some hiccups. It hasn't been that bad, tbh. If the lag was horrendous and made the game absolutely unplayable (like how people are describing it), then I wouldn't be rank 43, and others wouldn't be a couple Prestige ranks in already.


Treyarch is probably working their assess off supporting all 3 platforms. Since I hear the console gamers have to deal with cheaters and exploiters that can only be solved with patches.



And as for gameplay, I did this earlier this evening.

Good maybe the money grabbers will do whats asked of them next time,if there is a next time for me there will not be.
Maybe the reason you are rank 43 and others are prestige is because you
are happy to play a game that is not sorted and have nothing better to play.
It's because of people who dont care what a game plays like that Treyarch puts out games that are not finished.

I wouldn't necessarily label them as "money grabbers", since they're supporting the game as best as they can. If they were just in it for the money, I'm sure they wouldn't be supporting it like they are and will. Problems spawned with the game's release, and this happens often if you play games when they come out. And they are working on fixing it.

There are flaws with the game, but there are flaws with any game. I don't play broken games. And I have a plethora of games to play. Over the last few days, I've cycled from World of Warcraft, Black Ops, Team Fortress 2, Bad Company 2, Medal of Honor, and Halo Reach. So I obviously have choices on what to play. And others (as well as myself) don't mind playing the game, because it's playable. We'd rather spend our time actually playing, than complaining. As you can see from the clip I posted, I'm not experiencing any lag. I'm not saying there isn't lag, cause there is, but it's still a playable game.

And excluding Black Ops, what's another game that Treyarch has made, that didn't do so well? I was under the impression that their last game was World at War. Which was an amazing game.

Is that at the launch? Because if so, that'd just prove that PC gaming isn't popular. It's a lot easier and cheaper to be a console gamer, especially in today's economy. Not to mention you hit a much larger crowd. If those sales are overall, then I'd say it's a mix of the PC not being so popular, and maybe people read reviews and didn't buy the game because of the lag. But since it's still only 11 days old, and games are notorious for having problems the first month or so, I doubt a lot of people didn't buy the game on the PC because of the issues.

Most of the clan members didn't buy it, and that is a massive chunk of the market. Many not in clans, or those that just participate in communities, didn't buy it for the same reasons that the clans didn't: the terrible attitude that Activision have towards PC, especially when it comes to CoD, the fact that MW2 was awful on PC, and that Activision are arguably the most greedy games company out there.

For the attitude, a few examples, look at the lack of CoD3, lack of dedi servers in MW2, when there was absolutely no reason to keep them out and it was clear the majority wanted them, charging for DLC, even when DLC comprises of 40% content just about all MW2 players already have...

The lack of dedi servers made a large number of games laggy, stopped mods, changing servers, choosing the map you want to play, preventing there from being admin to kick cheaters, creating a "console community" where it is impossible to go into a match without at least a few people in there bitching, calling people noobs, abusing people, stuff which, with good admin, doesn't happen on PC.

And for greed, it is clear even with Black Ops, how they went and gave rights only to Game Servers, locked server files, which impairs the ability to create only slight mods (like PAM mod on CoD4 for instance), prevented people from going with their preferred server provider, charging ridiculous amounts for the game on release, just because it is CoD, same with MW2, the DLC with MW2.

Obviously PC gaming isn't unpopular, and that will never be the case. Baring in mind not all users have xfire, in fact not even the majority have it, and just look at the hours played every day by PC games. It is hundreds of thousands every day, from a minority of PC gamers, that isn't, in any shape or form, unpopular.

11 days is enough,Its their game..they should be able to have fixed this problem by now :rolleyes:

Like i said,I still cannot et my head around why there was no Public Multiplayer BETA testing to iron out any problems such as this,Probably because they knew that half of us would not have purchased the game if we had known what it was going to be like...I think MW2 was better.

In perfect world games from consoles would work on PC, without any changes....

That is not the case and Treyarch are raging about that......The game is not ported correctly, there are some mistakes in CFG, read it on steam forums. However, you can not change it, as it resets itself back....

the situation with the PC version of the game is disappointing, but you guys should understand that, because there are far more users, console versions are taking priority. all the kinks will eventually be ironed out for the PC port, just give it a little more time. it's business people, it isn't a personal vendetta against PC gamers.

in terms of how the game plays; this game is great, by far the best call of duty to ever be released. i think a lot of people on here like to conform to the popularity of hating great game releases. this is a incredible game, stop over criticizing and enjoy it (this isn't aimed at people having technical issues with the PC version). it may not look as polished and shiny as MW2 did, but it's a hell of a lot more balanced and skill based.. stop complaining about how it looks or sounds and enjoy, for the first time ever, a mostly balanced call of duty game!

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and that's yours which does not go with the majority,we cant all be wrong can we.
