for those having connection problems, it may be because your NAT is set to strict. I was having fierce problems on the xbox360 i.e. i was getting the lobby screen and trying to connect to game message for hours on end. What I did was run the 'xbox live test connection' under 'my xbox' and 'settings'. It basically recommends you turn your router off and on and wait 30 seconds. Sounds silly but it worked for me and since then I've had no trouble getting games in hope this helps

scrapsmac

oh I forgot to mention, your NAT should be set to open. Do a quick google and It will tell you how to do that depending on your router etc..

hey man thanks for the reply ,i own a ps3 and ****ty 3 mobile broadband on nbs so its good enough for gaming sometimes .I have a nat 2 type connection so if any one knows for me what to do pls help
Cheers

Nat type 2 is essentially the same as Nat type 1. It's nat type 3 only that you should strive to change if you have it.

I have 3 mobile aswell, and despite the laggy games sometimes, it's playable.

Hey man 3 is only broadband we can get here ,somedays you can have great connection others shocking days .Do you get into many games yourself and then get kicked out ,then lobby closed etc.MW2 works perfect on 3

ouch, nearly as bad as when i crashed out of a game of domination on jungle yesterday, having 60+ kills already and the game being just past the half way point... would have broke that 100 i reckon both teams were HORRIBLE ! Those sort of lobbies dont come around often.

Aghhhhhh Fvckin cock sucking campers. Who said they sorted this issue out.
I play mostly free for all and can run around for close to 5 mins and not come across anyone.

Fvcking dreading the massive influx of little snot nosed bastards at Christmas.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Played a random team death-match last night on the Launch map and the team we were up against just camped outside all the re-spawn areas. I couldn't believe how easy they were dispatching us no matter where we spawned. :mad: Really an issue that needs dealing with.

So much for the patch. I played late Wed night, 2 to 4 am and the game was fun for the first time but only because the other teams were so bad they were a distraction from having a laugh on chat. But today it's back to the same muck. People kicked from parties, host migration fails, network and fps lag.

It's certainly more playable, but if this wasn't part of a series no one would put up with the consistent multitude of shortcomings.

Playing earlier I saw a guy kill me and a teammate simultaneously, shots around 45 degrees apart. How can I respect a shooter that handles lag that badly?

I warned a friend not to get it last week, that it needed fixing but he went ahead and picked it up as he had the weekend off. He's got two young kids, the time he can spend playing games is in short supply and all the wasted time is his key source of disappointment. If you schedule an hour twice a week if you're lucky it's a kick in the nads if that translates to 40 minutes gametime.

I've lost the will to be frustrated by its failings, the devs clearly didn't give a toss so why should I? Gonna check trade-in values tomorrow and see if I can offset BO against a Gran Turismo pre-order. Can't quite understand why I want it out of my house. Between MW2 and COD4 I put 2,000 hours in. It's taken just over a week to grind down that goodwill.

I'll ask on the off chance, was this on Launch.

Dear my team-mates,

If there's a spy plane already in the the air, don't fcuking call another one in till it's gone.

What do they mean by multi kill?

Its a bitch to get anyway, iv gotten ghost pro,ninja pro,Sleight of Hand Pro and Hardline Pro

just double kills or better. Its actually handy enough to get.

Yeah, some guy with an LMG crouched behind a concrete barrier facing uphill toward non-rocket end of the middle of the map. Claymore up his arse because he wanted to play in a daring and fun way.

Its good on the famas alright makes a big difference because the flinch is insane on that rifle I find.

I'd still have sleight of hand pro long before it though

I remember reading a while back that its not a bad thing, that the uav just sweeps more often/faster than it would if there was only one.

That was for Mw2, there's no difference afaik. I dunno if they sweep sequentially (one starts when another ends)

The sweeping seems to move faster than before but it's still not fast enough to be worth using 2 at once.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but ill give it a go anyway.

I have bl-ops on the pc. Everything was fine for the first few days and it ran smoothly. But since last night the game keeps crashing and freezing on the first menu page. After about 3 mins I get through to the server page and it crashes again. I press ctrl-alt-del and enter task manager, it says the game is not responding and its using up 750,052k of memory I have Direct X 11 installed.

Any advice guys?

Don't think there's any difference in BOps.

But I have done this a few times. Normally when I get the Spy Plane, but want to use another Killstreak that's buried behind it. Not sure why you can't cycle through killstreaks to find the one you want in a particular circumstance. The amount of times I've got a Spy Plane and Napalm strike together. I can't call in the Spy Plane first to see where everyone is, so have to wait a while for someone else to call one in, or just throw it up blind.

The lag, the lag, the F**king lag is driving me up the wall, I'm sick of trying to kill people and emptying almost a full clip into them for them to turn around and kill me with 2/3 bulllets. Watching the Kill cams and most of the time it does'nt even show me lifting my gun up and aiming down the sights let alone emptying the clip.

The hit markers are bullsh*t, I find that when I' am shooting at someone i'm getting loads of hit markers on them and a full clip later they are dead but when I get killed I don't seem to get any warning or time to react when I'm being shot and I die immediately but when I watch the kill cam back the guy that is killing me is getting plenty of hit markers on me while he is shooting.

Alot of the final killcams seem to be like this aswell, every single one of them you watch the hit markers are nowhere near being on the guy that is being killed.

The knifing is a joke, getting knifed from 5 metres away. I thought that was meant to be gone from MW2.

I don't understand why people are labelling this game so much better than MW2 and that it blows it out of the water and how its so perfect, it must of been all the hype surrounding the release of the game. I honestly don't know how people think its so much better than MW2. I know MW2 had its flaws and it pissed me off alot at times but it was still enjoyable to play. The other night I was playing Black Ops and I think it was the first time I got so annoyed that I actually throw the controller on to the couch with proper force out of pure frustration:eek:. I don't think I ever did this in MW2 even when I got a grenade launcher fired across a map at me ruining a killstreak I was on.

Imagine if it was the other way around and Black Ops was the old game and MW2 was the new kid on the block, how brilliant would MW2 look in comparison plus the hype of it being a new game and all. It would definitely warrant the praise of it being so much better than Black Ops than the way Black Ops is getting such un-warranted praise over MW2.

Oh yeah it really annoys me the way you have to sit throught the little Treyach intro everything you load the game:mad:, why can't we just be able to press a button and get straight to the main menu like in MW2(please tell me there is a way of doing this).

What caused the frustration?

The problem for MW2 is that it was supported so badly after launch. So all the problems that arose were either fixed way too late, or were never solved. Contrast that with BOps. It learned from the lessons of MW2 and eliminate the terrible aspects like hugely overpowered weapons/perks and it's already getting rapid-fire fixes put out. I'm not someone who says MW2 was sh1t, as I had some serious fun while playing it. But it had huge flaws at times and certain game modes were just unplayable due to the crappy tactics; GroundWar/Demo etc.. Equally I think BOps is really good fun to play, and is a much better balanced game.

That's a pretty minor complaint in the grand scheme of things. 3 seconds of intro before you can skip it? Really worth a mention??

I can't believe people keep saying MW2 had over powered weapons if you get shot with 2 bullets in real life you die unless your a rapper of coarse!

Black ops is unrealistic in this aspect as it can take up to 8-10 bullets from an assault rifle to kill.

Also sub-machine guns are the most over powered thing in this game ever 1-2 shots and your dead. The ak74u is basically an assault rifle and needs to be patched!

I think the frustration was due to a few things mainly the lag was a nightmare, I know the lag in MW2 was a joke aswell but there was a few things getting to me in one particular game the other night and then I ended up getting killed by a guy who knifed me who I just emptyed a clip into and there was'nt a bother on him.

You're probably right, its probably not worth mentioning but I was having a little rant there and I felt like throwing it in:o It is annoying though and its just loads of little things in the game that are doing my head in, hopefully in time all the small issues will be sorted out(although they won't be able to sort the graphics out). I'm trying my best not to play MW2 for a few weeks then I'll go back and play it and I'll be able to compare the two a bit better, I might change my tune then after a few games and I might prefer Black Ops.

It's a game. Do you really want it to be totally realistic? Unless you like playing in Hardcore mode, you don't actually want insta-kills.

Don't agree SMG's are overpowered at all to be honest. But even if they were, I heard from Shammy that they are nerfing the 74U and the MP5K.

Or worse
"they're jamming our radar"
"friendly spy plane above!"


arrgggghhhh! why the fudge would you bring in a spy plane when they've got a counter one in the air?!?!?

I swear some people playing CoD have NO common sense
