I actually did that but it just added part 1 and 2 together So in short, it was in the middle of the night and I was horribly lazy :pac:

I'll have a gander through my vids again.

I spent an hour and a quarter on Wednesday night getting kicked from parties, searching for games and having the party split up and ultimately searching for any game to join on my own and only finding one match in the 75 minutes.

I consider this game broken and won't play it online until it's patched.

I watched my brother try to play tonight - he had similar issues, but worse. Over 20 minutes he was signed out of PSN 4 times, once this caused the system to hang. Wondering if it was Sony's problem he went back to COD4, during which time he had no PSN issues.

I've also noticed that there was an increment in the version info posted in the top right of the multiplayer screen, but there was no update patch downloaded. Maybe it's something to do with revised game settings, don't know. But things were bad to start with and have got consistently worse each day.

I'm the same mega pisst but it only seems to be the ps3 with problems my son has a 360 and he says he has no problems.

Well, I picked up my game on Wednesday night and gleefully installed it with great anticipation.
Dissapointment wouldn't describe it. I've managed 5 secs of play on my PC. Black screens of death followed by a frozen PC. It even fails in safe mode. My graphics drivers are up-to-date (Radeon 4850), XP is fully updated etc etc..
This is the first time I've never been able to play a new COD - unreal. :mad::mad:

Trying a full re-install tonight.

Now, back to Angry Birds!!!

I had the same problem but when i changed to "locale only" instead of worldwide on the server options it improved slightly. Still very poor although.

Well major errors like black Screens etc are totally different then the problems others are having with "stuttering" and the like. That to me does seem like a hardware/software conflict or something like that.....

Useful.Idiot

mainly what most people have been saying:

spawning is absolutely terrible in some maps (esp. Nuketown)

some guns sound completely gick! I miss the punch some of the guns from MW2 had.

sniping is absoliutely terrible, might even call it pointless. I never see anyone sniping so everyone else must be of the same persuasion.

getting yellow bar connection in about 60-70% of games, not a fan of that.

kinda miss unlocking the camos rather than buying them. now you have no sense of achievement with using camos.

all the trailers and videos said that with COD points you can play the game your own way, I thought that meant all weapons are available to you and you decide which ones to buy yourself. But no, they still operate under a level unlock system but this time you also have to pay for them...

glitches in the game, was stuck protecting

Reznoz when he get the flamethrower

, npc getting stuck when they're the ones who move the game ahead and many graphical problems.

Was happening me on EVERY game last night, dead, plummet off the map, there was a guy under the map running around on Launch as well, he kept firing at me from under it but couldnt hit me, was crazy.

Why can't this have a Restart Checkpoint option, all i can do is quit and reload which takes much longer than if i try to kill myself.

• NPCs stall and don't move
• Enemies die but their weapons still float and fire in one direction
• Props like pipes, boxes, etc float all over the level after explosions
• Hits don't register in Sniping, amount of times I aim for the torso and nothing happens, the enemy doesn't even realise anything.
• Hits don't register when you unload half a clip into a guy who's 2 feet away from you.
• Stuttering.
• NPCs will run right by enemies without taking them out thus sounding off the alarms in those "stealth" parts.
• Enemies will run right by NPCs. NPCs won't even acknowledge them and carry on their merry way while the enemy magically creeps up behind you and kills you. The fact that you can't hear anything around you is lousy.
• Scripted soundfiles are severly delayed, somebody will say something about an objective you already completed / in the middle of doing it.

This game doesn't seem to utilise the GPU at all, instead sucks the life out of your CPU. The quick fix was to change BlackOps32.exe priority up to High.

Really feels like this game was only 90% completed.

I spend waaaay to much time on killcam saying "how the fcuk did I get killed there".

I seem destined to aim my Napalm on me or run into it :rolleyes:

Any of the lads who play with me might have noticed the killfeed of epic failures.

I killed myself twice with the same B52 bomb run last night, dropped a bomb on myself, respawned as the bomb run was still happening, right in the path of another bomb, I think I'll upload it :pac:

*announcer* B-52 incoming.
Krudler has made some mistakes.

Krudler : The only person I kill in the bomb run is myself, twice. Ah fvck it :pac:

Nuketown is the worst map I have ever played on. And I include some very dodgy maps in that statement. A joke.

newballsplease

Im not experiencing too much LAG at all tbh. The only problems I have is that the game loses connection the rare odd occasion.
In regards to Nuketown- They kinda have to put in a small map for the sake of it.

Respaming needs to be sorted I think.

V9

I went from hating the game to liking t, now I ****ing detest it. If it weren't for the zombie mode I'd get the **** rid of it...

Dust was a good small map. This nuketown is just poor.

It makes Dome feel like a masterpiece. Given the nature of the map I can't imagine it being that easy to fix the spawn points for the standard size match on TDM.

Am I the only person who loves Nuketown? I've had all my best games on there

Its the spawn system on that map that annoys me.

Kells...

Yeah the spawn system is fúcked up

krudler

Thats why I like it though, if everyone spawned in the same place all the time itd get boring, keeps you on your toes

It's epic on Demolition, spawns don't change.

I quite like Nuketown as well. That is, until a hailstorm of grenades comes flying at me from every angle :pac:

Is anyone else having issues with My Recent Games not showing any recent games? I've only got 1 game listed (from the 9th), and /record and /movie_start don't seem to be doing anything :mad:

I'm almost to the end of the single player. (no spoilers). I have to say I think it's a little underwhelming story-wise and parts of the combat bugged me a bit. The helicopter piloting bits were an interesting new bit of gameplay, especially the Ho chi Minh trail, but none of the guns in the game are any fun at all to use, sniping is terrible, and it takes way too many hits to kill enemies with pretty much any of the ranged weapons.

Several times I put what I thought were enough bullets into a guy to put him down, only to be being shot by him again ten seconds later.

Overall it's not a terrible game, but I think treyarch are still a distant second in line to infinity ward in terms of their output. I can't help but think that had IW handled black ops it would have been just that bit better in pretty much every department.
