***Black Ops 2***

Got horrible lag (PC lag not network related) every time I aimed down my gun or **** starts to kick off, was at 60FPS when nothing was happening and dropped to mid 40's when bullets started flying, made it REALLY differcult to kill anyone.

Running a HD5850 and 920 @ 3.1Ghz max settings at 1080P except only 2 x AA :(

Also played a league match which started off as a 2 v 5, completely unfair considering it was a ranked match. Teams need to be even!

Yep. Im the same.

After reading online today i think its related to the FOV detail setting. Will be trying that when I get home.
 
Strange, I'm on a similar rig with the same settings. Apart from one game that was a laggy mess, I played about 6 or 7 rounds of 12 player TDM at about 100+fps...

Yeah could have been me not updating my drivers, was on 12.7 I think so have now updated to whatever the latest is and will test it out after work, may not make any difference though...

I'll also check the CPU and GPU usage, doubt there's a bottleneck but worth having a look anyway.

Cool (well it isn't) but atleast I'm not alone lol.

I'll try a lower FOV setting too.
 
I'm going to wait for prices to start coming down a bit on this and then grab it in the sales, i'm not making the same mistake that I made with MW3 and BLOPS 1 on the PC. Give it a few months to get the bugs ironed out in the patches, and i'm sure it'll be a half decent enough game to have a blast online with whenever i've got some free time :p

Nothing more than that though!

DO COD games reduce their prices? I thought they kept them high as long as they could?
 
lol Sho from Oldham? i didnt think anyone else from Oldham had a pc :P

Cancel everything you have with Tesco, they are rubbish.

Yup :D

Yea cancelled my order with Tesco. Not happy with Tesco. My first online order and they couldn't get it right first time round. To top it all of, they havn't even dispatched it. But they wher quick enough to take my money.

Never ever again im gonna use Tesco again. Should have used Asda, they always work with me never had a problem with them.
 
Played 30 mins or so so far. (MP)

Is it just me or does sprint hardly make you sprint at all?? Also jump isn't very high. lol.

Taking a while to get the key bindings as I like them - used to the xbox controls.

Trying to decide if I would enjoy it more on the xbox or not - not that I have one any more.

One thing I did notice last night is that crouch (not crouch toggle) doesn't seem to work properly for me.

If I press down crouch then release I still seem to be crouched, but moving at normal speed. It's only when I sprint that it reverts to normal stance.

Oh, and I also do not like how you cant reload whilst sprinting any more. Used to be able to start reload then sprint and you would still carry on reloading. In this if you start to sprint the reload stops.

Have they released any patches since this has been out?
 
The only thing I'm not sure on so far is the idea of Weapon levels. Feels so strange after BlOps1 not being able to choose from all the attachments from the get-go.
Also not being able to choose a server will take some getting used to :P

Other than those I'm loving it :D
 

Ha, so glad I didn't believe the hype this time around. Smaller maps? Are they ****ing insane? Thats whats ****ed me off since COD4, the maps needed to be about double the size, NOT HALF the size. No dedicated servers either? I wouldn't insult my PC by installing this 2005 console game.

So many people have just been politely robbed. :D

Enjoy your piece of ****.

Edit: Theres a guy who gave it a 9 on metacritic, here is the first sentence of his review

'Never played a COD game before but after seeing multiplayer gameplay videos, I thought it looked good. Ignored COD-hating trolls and pre-ordered immediately.'

He dares call people who have perhaps I don't know, played COD 4, trolls....lol.

I've played and preordered every cod since cod2, and this one is probably the best since cod4, so much more fun, got 17 hours played already and I've not even touched any of the zombies/single player, smaller maps are better, more action. If i wanted huge maps I'd play battlefield. And since when do people take metacritic seriously?

why? because I bought a game that you don't like the look of? Okay! I've played 17 hours on multiplayer alone and I'm not even max level yet, and I'm planning on getting to 10th, so far from robbed.

Oh dear you are a happy chappy. It's only a game for gods sake... :)
 
Metacritic user reviews are hardly a good way to get the feel of a game.

Having actually played the game I am pleasantly surprised about how much I am enjoying it. They have at least tried something new in the single player campaign with the Strike Ops missions and the new class system for load-outs in MP is a nice change.

Yeah maybe the MP maps are a little small for a PC game, but this is all about fast paced run and gun gameplay and its not trying to pretend it isn't... It seems to play pretty nicely for me.

I know its cool to hate on the big franchises like this, but its actually a pretty good version! imo

Isn't the multiplayer in cod more or less the same as the previous edition, albeit with new maps etc? So essentially you've paid £40 for a map pack.
