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.

I agree the modes are there for user preference. AK74u shoudnt be nerfed its not that great however the hipfire should have more recoil even with steady aim. MP5k recoil is ridiculous as ever and should stay the same as it actually takes skill and long range its useless.

None of the last 10 games i played finished they failed to migrate or just crashed.

Whats the story doing those "epic" jumps? How do you do em? Because with me its very random!
I have jumped off the edge of a map about 5 times now and then jumped over walls and got shot when I want to crouch down before the wall.

Maybe its just me lol

Got a new tv to play black ops in hd.

Played two games and had to pull out of both because the lag was BRUTAL. Having not had the problem in the past I just pulled the hdmi cable out and played the game on the tv as I normally would have and experience no lag.

Can the hd cause lag?

Also I've noticed the sensitivity is insane since I got the tv. I usually play on a 4 but its just impossible. I had to go to a 2

Black Ops has issues on PS3 not being able to keep up with the higher resolutions - there have been user reports that playing at 720p instead of 1080p gives smoother performance on PS3, though in my experience even at 576p I had framerate drops (fps lag).

I've only got HDMI cables, so never tested on others - but yes, HD or not HD could cause the game to pop out of sync with itself.

To note, on PS3, this is the only title I have seen which seems to default to 1080p if the mode is available in the system settings, i.e. other games that can run at 1080p (e.g. COD4), would display at 720p if both 720 and 1080 options were selected. Black Ops always went for 1080 if both were selected.

The native resolution from the engine (prior to upscaling) is sub-720, so you're looking at an overhead from the console as it upscales to HD resolutions - you may notice as I did on PS3 that the XMB does not respond as well as it does on other games.

Upscaling was the case with previous COD titles - but previous engines did not perform nearly as badly under strain.

This is clearly the problem i have been having. I just wonder how is it that it only affects some users and not others ?

Have nearly busted blood vessels in my head with this Black Ops. Can't seem to get any nice, flowing consistent gameplay. I'll have one fun game and than the rest will just involve me loading a clip into some chap while he pot shots me to the ground.

I just might play some MW2 tomorrow and have it like the old days where I was king of the roost

No idea, just my own uninformed theories. I like to think that developing a cross platform virtual machine, so you can run the same code on all platforms using variants of vms is pretty complicated. id did it well with quake 3, less well with quake 4 (mods for q4 were less straight forward to run on Mac and Windows). Similarly, Infinity Ward - for all the balance and game design issues in mw2 - could give Treyarch a master class on how to optimise a game engine, but the technology doesn't carry the know how within it. It needs talented devs, ideally the guys who have already implemented good ideas and are very familiar with the engine.

Without understanding what precisely is falling short it's impossible to get a reliable work around.

Was playing HC tdm last night, got a CP, and called it in. Just as I did, another guy on my team called one in at the same spot. So I go to my CP, next thing *bang* team-mate shot me and nicked both of them. Earned his revenge kills I think.

Dont you get kicked from the game for killing team-mates? It happened me (well deserved I might add). I was a having a crap game due to some major lagging and with the resulting frayed nerves I accidently shot a few team mates as they came around the corner. Next I knew I was back in the lobby with the message KICKED FROM SERVER

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

It sweeps twice as often with two UAVs called in. It's no blackbird, but it does make tracking the opposition a lot easier.

minotour

just completing my first hour with COD BO online and Im not impressed. The small bit of gameplay i managed was good but lots of issues, slow load times, unintuitive User interface, random hangs/crashes, migration failure after failure after failure. This has all the crap of WAW and none of the juice of MW1&2.

Ill give it another go later but can see myself driftin' back to MW2 before long and filing this ****e alongside WAW

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello!!!!!!!!

Treyarch, put a mic symbol for people who have it please. Takes ages to mute every fvcker in the lobby just to mute the 1 12 year old fvcker who's talking sh1te.

It'll kick you eventually, yeah, but only if you've done it a few times. One tk wouldn't do it like if it was an accident.

Claymores and RC-XD's are overused and overpowered.

You can't resupply claymores with scavenger any more and can only use 1 at a time even if you get a new one with care package ammo, if you die it goes as well but i think it may stay if you change to a class without it.

The thing about the RC is that with the spy plane you can counter it fully with ghost so why does Flak Jacket not protect you from an RC more than it does, while it should kill you when you've taken damage it shouldn't when you've got full life.

Hacker is a useful perks why not use it more to counter claymores.

An offensive killstreak for 3 kills was a silly idea.
It makes objective games a frigging nightmare - B is 80% capped and you hear "Enemy RC-XD incoming!" and you might as well just forget it.

Lag is pretty much making the game unplayable during the weekend... It was working like a dream for me Thursday and Friday... today every game is just a lagging nightmare.

I traded this in last week! I went back to Modern Warfare and got me some nukes! elt much better!

Everytime I load this game in the PS3 my stats are reset.

Also tonight my psn was in the lobby twice

There are many times when I'm tempted to do the exact same. :pac:

Yep. Seems when school is out, the entire game goes up in flames. All these problems people keep getting I don't get them till the weekend really.

The lag calmed down a whole heap after around 1:30 last night, ie when there was only you, Remi and I left. I think the # of players dropped to 500k from the usual 800k, dunno if that has anything to do with the lag though.

Tech Overhaul

Stupid servers, can't connect all morning. Just tells me to check status on call of duty website. Of course it says everything is perfect!! :mad:

I absolutely loved this game for a while, now i'm getting pretty pissed off at it. I'm not sure if I'm just sick of the cod series tbh.

So there i was last night, 10 kill streak(pretty damn good for me!) about to get one more kill to call in my puppies. Someone spawns directly behind me on array and kills me. Two seconds later; HURR HURR HURR! on the mic

Every other game i played after that the spawns were terrible, I really miss sniping too. For all its faults MW2 was a far superior game imo

I went into a medium wager match of sticks and stones, buy in 1000. 5 seconds into it, connection error came up and a message saying if the remaining players failed to complete the match, I would receive my wager back. We were all sitting there in the lobby, talking over the headset, all complaining and a game-lobby closed message came up and I didn't get anything back. Like WTF?! I messaged one of the other players and he lost his wager as well. Seriously, fix this Treyarch.

EDIT:Got it back now. 30 minutes later.

the game is a complete waste of money
