COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

[QuagmireUK]

I was getting kicked a few times, then I tried to rejoin and it said Ive been banned, GG TFU nice one.

I have been banned from their BC2 and MoH servers, not even going to bother trying to play on their Black Ops one.

Two things bugging me about the game.

I can't get zombies mode online to work. But at least they have said it is being worked on for the next patch.

Spawn points- sick of getting killed by people I just killed, who spawn five metres away seconds later, catch up and end my life.

Other than that I'm really enjoying it still.

I can reproduce the same choppy conditions playing offline as well tho, even the solo zombie mode.


EDIT: Just checked - the ingame theatre is using smoothing (similiar to positive timenudge) on demo playback (enable lagometer).

Yeah I did post the other day to say I played an offline game against bots and had some problems with smoothness too.

Whatever the cause, I just hope they bloody sort it out because it would make such a fundamental difference to gameplay if it was fully smooth.

wow is about 9 quid a month, a bit cheaper if you buy a few months at a time.

Also I'm worried people only read the 1st line of my post, the next 2 paragraphs highlighted the exact issues posters have come back with, i did not say anything about wow maintaining servers which is very valid point. While in principle i'm fine with subscription fees I do think it will be an incredibly hard sell! However I personally hate the idea of microtransactions where for example if you pay to buy weapons your ability becomes more about your paycheck than your inate ability.

This is the idea behind an mmo such as Guild Wars.

More skill based rather than traditional lvl or grind base mechanics.

... my replays render perfectly whereas the match itself would have been plagued with stuttering, indicating network issues.

Yeah that pretty much eliminates any graphic performance issues too.

 

[mynamewontfi]

i seem to lagg when i see my first enemy of the match..

So I downloaded cfg files that this guy created from using MW2 game and now my game runs 100 better than before with any resolution, previously it was dead slow even with everything set to low and lowest resolution possible. SP was even worse than MP. And now everything seems to be almost fine. I am not sure now if the servers still lag as I still get some lag even though my fps stay high.

Hey guys, thought id share this quick fix with you that i came up with it really fixes a lot of the fps issues

Ok I have uploaded them as .cfg as too many people had trouble converting it so here are the links for the two files.

config.cfg-> http://www.mediafire.com/?momh5grcokvk7o4

config_mp.cfg-> http://www.mediafire.com/?k48j6l5r4ws52d8

Like I said before:

1. Backup your two files just incase, this should not do anything other than good but its good to take precaution.

2. The file path for the two files that need to be replaced are found in your steam folder. Once inside the steam folder navigate to the files like so SteamApps\common\call of duty black ops\players. You should see two files with identical names as the ones I uploaded, backup those in your players folder and then proceed to replace the two files with the ones downloaded, so in the end you should end up having just the downloaded configs in the player folder with the originals backed up in some random folder of your choice.

Peace, Report back if it works or ur problems n stuff

i lag pretty much when i take incoming fire, now in an FPS shooter that is pretty fundamentally bad. Jungle and Shooting range are both slide shows for me... nearly unplayable... there must be something fundamentally not working with the tree models or something...ive had a few CTDs too recently at random.

I tried the TFU server and tbh its one of the worst performance wise ive played, and i have no idea why but it was so laggy for me.

Im getting pretty bored of headless chicken Famas and Ak74 spam tdm... so much i just raged out through pure boredom.

I cannot comprehend the spawn locations in this game ive spawned in people cross-hairs and died and ive walked into areas and 4 guys have spawned on me and massacred me... its just?!?1 useless.

if you are still stuttering try putting V synch on, it seemed to have cleared the final stutter but now i just miss whole frames rather than have them slow down, thats what it feels like, its not great and its a bit sludgy at 60fps but, well tbh i dont care ive hit lvl 50 and its pretty boring as it is right now 18 people is way too much for 75% of these maps.

Oh and whos clever idea was it to give everyone claymores and greandes??? pretty much 50% of my deaths now are me randomly walking into them - i know i can get a perk to see them but seriously they are everywhere on every corner and staircase, everywhere.

Prone diving is still just as rampant, i thought they were removing it from the game so to speak..... and it seems everyone i play with has a 90-120 ping in the UK where as mine shows as 30ms... its as bad as Peer hosting on MW2, ive been raped so many times by laggers and when i watch their KCams im not even firing back or just walkign in the open liek a retard....... Im so unimpressed overall.

Decent server mate I've been on there quite a lot today. What's your in game name?

 

[Locky]

Just played in the FAP server, one of the better ones ive played on.

Anyonr else getting the game crashing, Mine seems to crash with a blackOps fatal error, I know it's not my PC as I know its rock solid stable, quite a few people in my clan are having the same issue.

yep i have at least 1 per session.


I just did a SP training mode of shooting range and jungle both ran flawlessly smooth, so its really just the server that cant handle it and i suffer....??

Why would i be able to play it perfect SP but as soon as i join it MP it is a lagfest?

 

[UberTiger]

Yep, 7 times today. Thinking about try a windows reinstall this week but I think it might be connection related as the last time it happened it coincided with me losing my TS connection for an instant, however I wasn't the only one to be disconnected from TS so I don't think it's localised to me. Who knows....although I didn't have any issues before the patch.

 

[Locky]

The last time it did it (just) I got connection interupt, lag then crash.

39 hours, no crashes yet, touch wood.

Who is right about this game: the reviewers or the players? I look at metcritic and its getting consistently high scores but no one on here has a good thing to say it seems

Go to sites like Gamespot or Amazon and there are tons of underwhelmed or negative player reviews. Mainstream review sites have little credibility in my eyes. NFS Hot Pursuit is another big name title soon to be out, which sounds crap but is predictably getting high scores across the board.
