COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

The stuttering can be fixed by lowering all the texture details to the lowest settings. The game looks appalling, but it does stop the stuttering and hitching. I also turned off shadows and bullet impacts.

Works for me anyway.
 
What frustrates me is that you can't use the connect command. Why would they disable it? Is is to stop people from writing custom game browsers perhaps?
 
Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter has been talking about publishers, specifically Activision, launching online subscription services to better monetize the vast amounts of online play taking place these days. While Pachter thought it would happen by the end of the year, he's now backtracked on that, suggesting it will happen at some point in 2011 instead. Consequently, Wedbush has removed the Activision Blizzard stock from its Best Ideas List.

"We are removing Activision from the BIL as we believe that the introduction of online subscription services for Call of Duty will take several more months to materialize (once again, the company gave no indication that a subscription plan is in the works)," Pachter noted.

"We expect Activision to announce plans to monetize multiplayer online some time in 2011, and expect greater visibility into the release schedule throughout the year. When we have greater visibility, we think we will be able to identify positive catalysts, and we fully expect to add Activision back to our Best Ideas List at that time."

Whenever Activision or another publisher eventually does introduce extra subscription fees, they will have to tread carefully and offer a ton of value on top of the online gameplay, as many players are already paying $60 a year for Xbox Live.

Update: Pachter has again noted that investors are eagerly awaiting Activision's move to monetize online in Call of Duty and in future Blizzard titles. He also raised his sales forecast for Black Ops.

Only on consoles, not on the PC.

PC has counter strike and Battlefield, they don't need CoD, and when Battlefield 3 comes out I'm hoping it'll be good enough to rip everyone away from CoD.

There isn't a single reason for subscription costs for an FPS game, with MMOs you have customer service issues, constant patches, new content all the time and server up-keep to pay for. With an FPS you have the occasional balance patch, maybe a new map here or there, the servers are paid for by the players of the game. With mod tools too, communities do half of the work for the developers anyway, so it costs even less.
 
Haha, there's probably no way I'd ever pay for a FPS MP. COD's competitors would suddenly sell a lot more copies.

If IW, Treyarch and Activision were really nice companies I'd consider it. But they aren't so...
 
Read this on my Gameserver control panel;

Banlist and reservedslots editing has been temporarily removed from the control panel. There were some issues discovered regarding the security of these two files which has lead to them bring taken off the cp shortly until we ensure its security.

I wouldn't pay subs for cod as it stands now. It would need ton of content, I would pay for a planetside type cod though. But I think activision will try keep costs down and milk it to death. Personally I'm waiting for the next Respawn game think that will be the next fps, and cod will go the way of moh.
 
if they sub the franchise it will be my last one, im not being tied to subscriptions for all the games i enjoy and if it proves successful for cod all other company's will follow suite.

they couldn't create enough content to fill an fps without turning it into a complete joke and id hate to think if i had an interest in three or four titles id be tied to that many subs, this would be a nasty step foreword, the revenues created already are massive and feeding the greed even more is only a bad thing.
 
Has anyone had issues with the mouse feeling a bit....I don't know...sluggish I guess.

I realised something was wrong earlier when I couldn't be bothered to turn round to check my back because of how dodgy the aiming is. It almost feels a little laggy, if that makes sense.

Any ideas?

No issues in MW2 or other COD games.
 
I keep loading up the game only to find the 'Resume Game' ooption is missing and that I have to select a mission from the start.

Any ideas?
