just wandering if anyone abit more clued up on me can explain the following:
I'm on virgin broadband, for some reason when i i browsing servers its fine the 1st time but then if i refresh it shows 1 or 2 crap looking servers or none, if i close down black ops my actuall internet is dead for around 20 seconds ie cant even load google.
It is definitely the game that is doing this, the odd thing is though the 20 seconds the net is down there is no traffic at all so it properly kills it.
any ideas?

More ROFL
He's such a bad player, funny though.
its probably your router/modem falling over. Used to do it on my old crappy belkin router in the cs days. Would populate the server list but if i refresh it would send my router into crazy mode and would need a reboot to get it working again.
Yes, it just happened to me for the first time. Even the patch install was borked...I could not play or open the game for almost two hours. Sigh...
I've just played the SP properly for the first time and what a massive load of crap it has started off as. It's like time travel back to the late 90s. It's a series of endless (and I do mean endless) set pieces where you fire off MILLIONS of rounds at queued up enemies who not only behave with zero AI, but also stop reacting when you hit them with a pre-designated x amount of bullets. All this is while explosions, fire and NPCs 'on your side' run into their guns for your amusement. Also you get shouted at a lot bny the main NPC: "Do this, do that." Blahblahblah; do it yourself you idiot. There is nothing satisfying about this. It's essentially an exercise in how many times you're willing to watch your badly rendered arms reload what Treyarch consider to be an AK47 but anyone who actually knows about weapons will identify as an AKM - correct me on this.
And the set pieces themselves are pointless: like using some unexplained, home-made fiery catapult to completely destroy guard towers. I just had to shoot down a helicopter with a harpoon. Why the Hell a harpoon is in a Russian Gulag I don't know. Why the Hell I can't use my guns I don't know. Why the Hell the helicopter is hovering conveniently about 10m from the ground I don't know. Why the Hell the two guys trying to shoot the harpoon before me got chopped to pieces yet I'm still standing there and intact I don't know.
I've also been killed three times by a truck exploding near me. Each time, a following screen warned me to be careful around burning vehicles as they are liable to like, totally explode, yo. Great, except that all three times I died the truck wasn't on fire. Not even a singe here or there.
Is there any point in carrying on to complete the SP?
