I cant believe they would let a game like this out tbh

The game is an absolute joke, I haven't competed a full game in over an hour, anytime I select any game it puts me into it when it's nearly over, I then always get booted from the lobby once it goes back to the main screen. I also can't join my friends party for some reason, when they invite me and I click join it keeps coming up " game session unavailable." it's driving me absolutely cracked, they would want to get off their arises and do something bout it pronto as it's making a mockery of the franchise.

Got my first chopper gunner today and it got shot down straight away, I didn't even one kill. Do you have to release flares manually? Or did I just get spectacularly unlucky?

you'd think the killstreaks would reduce camping but nope the game is rift with it

can you report the ***** for that?

Nuketown is a disgustingly poor map. Would maybe suffice for teams of 3 on 3, but anything more than that and it's broken.

have to agree. also the fact the map is too small meant every time i re-spawned i had two enemy's on my ass straight away, 10 deaths later i finally got lucky by firing as soon as i re-spawned and shooting the camper while my team mate re-spawned shooting the other guy! :mad:

did not do my death kill ratio any good! and i was 4 kills to 1 death before it happened!

Given up on hardcore team death-match. It really is just 10 people camping in corners and a couple running around looking for corners to camp in. It's just not enjoyable.

Wasn't hardcore always like that? Certainly seemed to be a common complaint in MW2, so not sure why people expected anything different...

Cons

• Doesn’t make a big/loud enough noise when someone joins/leaves your lobby nor when someone’s defusing the bomb
• Un-silenced enemies don’t pop up on your mini map when you press start in hardcore mode
• No viewing of enemies on mini-map when you press start during kill cam
• Noob-tubes can’t be used at the start of a round, but the china lake and crossbow can?
• Impossible to get 4+ people into a game. Seriously, if there are 6 people looking for a wager match, and the max you can have in a lobby is 6, then why not just dump them straight into a new lobby?
• No private wager matches with custom buy-ins or changeable options (like no knifing in sticks and stones, change order of weapons in gun game etc.)
• Option to replay last map should be abolished
• Early killstreaks are crap…..later ones are animal. Makes care package an absolute must-have.
• No hiding from gunship/chopper gunner. (Not too sure about this one. At first I was happy about it because it makes everyone try to take it down, but when you’re getting spawn-raped and don’t even have 2 seconds to whip out your anti air weapon then there’s no point really. Maybe if they fixed the spawning system)
• Spawn system has gotten worse, didn’t think it was possible
• Maps are all too small
• Maps are all too cluttered, making sniper rifles redundant. Think I’ve been sniped about 5 times since the game came out.
• In core, if you run across more than one enemy you’re pretty much screwed. In hardcore it’s one bullet one kill
• The invulnerability when falling into last stand still isn’t fixed properly
• Stats are all over the shop. Said I’d something like 14,000 kills and 12,000 deaths after about 10 games.
• “Nemesis” feature is borked. Told me yesterday I’d killed someone 0 times and they’d killed me 8. Asked the other person what his said and it was saying I’d killed him 6 and he killed me 0. Once told me my nemesis killed me a higher number of times than I had deaths.
• No xp in wager matches
• Still not rewarded significantly enough for capturing objectives in HQ, domination etc. Won a game of HQ on Nuketown yesterday something like 105 – 0, and not one member of their team tried to cap the hq once. Just sat looking across at the objective trying to pick us off. We all ended up with less score/xp than them cos we were getting hammered in the kills dept.
• Theater sometimes messes up the game save and doesn’t load properly.
• Not enough time between games to change killstreaks, create a new class etc.
• Zombies is rock hard

Pros:

• Zombies is rock hard
• Music is pretty good, though overshadows the ambient noise levels a bit
• Wager matches are great fun
• Tomahawk fcuking kicks ass
• Single player is surprisingly good
• More realistic recoil.

Never really player MW2 to any extent. I just prefer the one-shot, one-kill mechanics of the game type really. Normal deathmatch feels like you have to unload a clip into someone to kill them, which is exacerbated by the armour perk.

So my PC copy of COD BO won't play. My PC meets the spec's and I have not been able to play it. I went into GamsStop to ask about returning it and they fobbed me off blaminig Activision and my PC.
What rights do I have here? Surely they have some responibility over the products they sell?

  Agreed.

  That's a Pro!
• No viewing of enemies on mini-map when you press start during kill cam
  That's a Pro! Are you one of these players who is pressing pause as much as possible to gain advantage!?
• Noob-tubes can’t be used at the start of a round, but the china lake and crossbow can?
  I'd like to see someone get a crossbow kill from the off.
  China Lake should be classes as a noob tube and thus unable to use from the start.
• Impossible to get 4+ people into a game. Seriously, if there are 6 people looking for a wager match, and the max you can have in a lobby is 6, then why not just dump them straight into a new lobby?
• No private wager matches with custom buy-ins or changeable options (like no knifing in sticks and stones, change order of weapons in gun game etc.)
  Agreed.
• Option to replay last map should be abolished
  I'm not fussed about this. Very rarely will a map be repeated. Only Nuketown it can be common practice and even from my experience I've only seen it voted twice in a row.
• Early killstreaks are crap…..later ones are animal. Makes care package an absolute must-have.
• No hiding from gunship/chopper gunner. (Not too sure about this one. At first I was happy about it because it makes everyone try to take it down, but when you’re getting spawn-raped and don’t even have 2 seconds to whip out your anti air weapon then there’s no point really. Maybe if they fixed the spawning system) If there was enemy chopper above, I run straight for the building. Most people aren't bright and won't do that which is great for me as I get my chopper gunner more often than not.
  Does Ghost Pro no show you up as highlightd when the enemy has a chopper gunner or gunship? Genuine question. Anyway, I'm really struggling to remember the enemy having a chopper gunner against me so it's grand for me..
• Spawn system has gotten worse, didn’t think it was possible
  BO's spawn system prevents constant spawn trapping to the joke level it was on COD4 and MW2.That say not to it doesn't need tweaking. Which it does.
• Maps are all too small
  Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
  Massively disagree with that. There is a nice mix in the size of maps.
• Maps are all too cluttered, making sniper rifles redundant. Think I’ve been sniped about 5 times since the game came out.
  There are far less sniper sight lines I agree. Fair enough they nerfed the sniper but to make maps that non-sniper friendly is just wrong.
• In core, if you run across more than one enemy you’re pretty much screwed. In hardcore it’s one bullet one kill
  Well I have no idea how good or average you are but I've lost count of the amount of triples and what not I've gotten in standard core. I find it core very easy to play even if up against a lot of enemies.. so long as the 2nd chance perk isn't used.
• The invulnerability when falling into last stand still isn’t fixed properly
  What can fix it, is completely removing the perk. Pathetically cheap to use and I will not revive a soul who uses it.
• Stats are all over the shop. Said I’d something like 14,000 kills and 12,000 deaths after about 10 games.
• “Nemesis” feature is borked. Told me yesterday I’d killed someone 0 times and they’d killed me 8. Asked the other person what his said and it was saying I’d killed him 6 and he killed me 0. Once told me my nemesis killed me a higher number of times than I had deaths.
• No xp in wager matches
  It''s all about the monnehhhhhhhhhhhhh.
• Still not rewarded significantly enough for capturing objectives in HQ, domination etc. Won a game of HQ on Nuketown yesterday something like 105 – 0, and not one member of their team tried to cap the hq once. Just sat looking across at the objective trying to pick us off. We all ended up with less score/xp than them cos we were getting hammered in the kills dept.
  Agree.
• Theater sometimes messes up the game save and doesn’t load properly.
  Works perfectly for me despite one or two games not showing up.
• Not enough time between games to change killstreaks, create a new class etc.
  Ehhh... either a) when it lobby before searching for a game, mix and match to your hearts content. b) back out into the lobby if you really have to.
• Zombies is rock hard
  It's a challenge, thus a pro in my book.

Pros:

• Zombies is rock hard
• Music is pretty good, though overshadows the ambient noise levels a bit
• Wager matches are great fun
• Tomahawk fcuking kicks ass
• Single player is surprisingly good
• More realistic recoil.

Nope they always ask before you buy pc games:mad:

I presume it will install.Will it not play at the lowest settings?

Nope, turned everything down to lowest but still no joy. Checked the Activision support site and they recommend turning off all startup items and services. A little extreme in my opinion in order to play a game, but I'll try it later to see. :mad:

Finally gave the campaign a go, have got to the first vietnam mission on veteran and i've had enough. Having infinite enemies is absolutely retarded.

Playing MTDM last night on nuke town. My RCXD drove through the fence didnt explode .. just went. That was that.
Lobbys being closed. It happened loads of times last night.

I missed the first few days of brutal lag issues. Since I started playing (last saturday) there have been problems, but nothing that I couldn't cope with for a time (assuming they're getting fixed).

But last night was just unplayable. I tried for an hour and didnt get a single full game. And even the one I did get had lag problems all the way through.

Was the same for me last night, when I did finally get into a lobby, it would start loading, get stuck, bring me back to the lobby, say "Host Migration" for 30 secs to a minute, and then "Game Lobby Closed".
Repeat ad nauseum.

FortuneChip

Got Black Ops on Saturday, had a pretty successful one or two hours that night in MP.
Last night, was ridiculous. It was the first chance I had to really let the Computer Nerd out, and over the course of 3 hours(I kept the faith), I was lucky enough to finish about 6/7 games at the very most. Coming in to games just as they finish, then all the usual stuff mentioned about connections, hosts etc.

Bloody annoying!
