Many getting the pc version?

Im 50/50 about getting it but it be nice to know are many pc gamers getting it?

jeffred

I with you on the 50/50 - still undecided. Enjoyed black ops I, but MW3 was terrible and that's what is putting me off. So it will depend on the price.

Exact same thoughts as me. If its usually the 30-40 price range I would go for it but 50 euro is taking the piss

i dont think we'll be seeing anywhere cheaper than 50 tbh

That's what I was thinking - but they (Activision) are looking into restrictions for RU keys for blackops, limiting the access to multiplayer servers with people of the same region version.

Still haven't bought yet

Looks like I won't be buying the Russian game so ! I really don't want to shell out €60 to find out nobody is buying / playing the game .

Aye they're really clamping down on getting games from other countries. I was ****ting bricks myself when I got a Steam security alert when I logged in the next day. All is good though and I'm sitting here contemplating whether to get Blops 2 or not :P

Magill

So it doesn't unlock in Europe until tomorrow at about 7pm right ? or is that a bug ??

cherryghost

It's midnight tonight according to Treyarch's PC Devs

Magill

Ahhh sweet enough then. Hopefully they have a bunch of servers ready to go live aswel.

Well when Blops 1 went live there was about 5000 Official servers ran by themselves. They're saying there's almost twice as much as the Blops 1 launch so all should be good, though I'd expect most of them may be full :P

There's a Black Ops Ireland group on Steam. Nearly 100 of us in it.

wampyrus77

call of duty black ops 2 is also available on the wii u november 30th according to Official Nintendo Magazine and nintendo.co.uk

SeantheMan

I got it , pre loaded multiplayer.

Do we add through Steam accounts or Ingame profiles ?

Magill

Steam accounts i think, least thats how the rest of hte CoD's work on PC.

SeantheMan

I enjoyed what i had played last night. Bit gay that there's no server browser..

Quick question - I just bought the PC game in Gamestop and was wondering is there a way I can play the game without using the (noisy) disk each time?
Maybe download and input my CD Key with Steam?

It runs on steam, so I'd imagine pull be able to activate you key on steam and download it.


No server browser - inexcusable for a PC FPS

the main reason for me not buying any COD game.
MW2 was such good fun in multiplayer.
What happens with companys renting out servers ? must be a right pain

Can we get a boards game going?

They're not renting out servers this year. Just hosting the games on their own dedicated servers instead.

Apparently PC patch is incoming for FOV slider among other things so who knows.

lol some PC users are experiencing that disk 2 of Blops 2 retail is actually Mass Effect disk 2. :rolleyes:

FFS, are they labelled ME2 or what?
I might buy it later in gamestop, need to check discs first so.

They're labelled Blops 2 but hashchecked as ME. Of course the only way around that currently is enter your CD Key and download the game instead, which defeats the purpose of buying it in retail.

Aye, I've been mulling it over... seems it's a lot better than MW3 (god I hated that crap), and I enjoyed Blops 1 a good bit. Will probably buy at the end of the week.

I think the best way to go about this is via the blackopsie group, and then invite a few people via STEAM into the group ingame and then go from there and look for a lobby.

Not seen anyone on the boards.ie TeamSpeak , which would be handy

Yeah, im on TS now, lemmi know if your playing.

What's the hit detection like on this? I heard it was poor on BO1.

.

Still cheaper from Retail in most cases, personally would not be upset but for those will slower connection or allowances this sucks.

EA and Activision are never on the best of terms, but piracy is wrong Activision/Treyarch so say your sorry.

SeantheMan

We had a few games today, people should pop onto the boards.ie TS later and we try get a few games goin between us
Oh, and you need to add and accept friends on STEAM via the "Black Ops Ireland" group to get in on the games, as you can only invite friends directly and not via STEAM groups as far as I'm aware

I went from die-hard call of duty fan to being extremely apathetic about the series. It appears I am not in Activision/IW/Treyarchs target demographic for this game - especially given the way in which the xbox versions of the games are top priority (with other formats being a bit of an afterthought)

I want this to be good - I really do, but have already read from reliable PC gamers I trust that the game is not at the level of quality it needs to be on many levels - Every year the CoD scene goes through this messy relationship with the CoD sequel whereby most try to convince themselves the game is good and will be the next big thing, but over time come to the realization that it simply isn't - at this stage most PC cod fans have been burned enough to know when to stop getting burnt.

Im with ya man , I one of those of the opinion that COD4 has never been beaten within the series and that the series has gone downhill since.
I hated MW2 with a passion,didnt get MW3,wasnt mad about blops 1 but after watching streams of the PC version and playing the xbox 360 version with my son it seemed enough fun to make a purchase for my beloved PC.
For many years i wouldnt touch an fps that wasnt either A. realistic or B. worthy of competitive play.
These days i just game for the laugh and nothing more

Either way im installing BLOPS II on my PC as i type
