COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

[dirtydog]

ok then out of all the people I personally know who play the game only ONE is not having problems, thus 99%, I didn't realise that you were in a position to know everything about my life, next time I best not make assumptions!

I know everytheeeeeeeng

You seemed to be saying that the game is in an atrocious unplayable state for most people and I don't believe that is remotely true. Now perhaps the people you know are having really bad problems but I don't believe 99% of PC players are.

Semantics. A massive amount have had a range of problems, from annoying stuttering to unplayable glitches and bugs. And they paid £40 for the pleasure.

my game is playable and the only time i get rage lagg is when i see the first enemy of the match.. (i go to about 1.2 FPS)

So is better 60 in maxpackets or 100 knowing i'm playing always 60FPS

I've been using 100 ...125 would probably be better but servers are capped at 100.

To say most people 'can't play the game' is exaggerating

I know the game has issues and I've compained about them myself but it isn't that bad and people shouldn't be put off buying it IMO, certainly if they have a quad core CPU which seem to fare better.

I'm looking forward to the next patch.

I started with no problems what-so-ever. Perfect game.

THEN they bring out the patch to 'fix' the problems I didn't have.
Now my game freezes (need to ctrl-alt-del), I get lag, connection problems in game and 'Steam Connection Failed' ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME! Damn Treyarch, they broke my perfectly good game :'(

 

[snow patrol]

mine was working fine too but since the patch i've had a few hard freezes..and a few mini freezes

Last stand in this game is crap too, the person in last stand is like a T1000 Terminator and doesn't die.

Aye, and you seem to get no "warning" that they're going into it neither, in COD5 you could tell a mile off that they were but I find myself getting caught off-guard ... then the b****** gets revived to further salt the wounds :\

 

[Evilsod]

I think the knife was implemented to stop bunny-hopping close combat gunfire spam dances. It should be a one hit kill with animation slicing the throat if used from behind and a two or three slash kill from anywhere else IMO.

I'm tempted to write up a "What PC gamers want to see in FPS MP" post!

If any dev actually ironed out all the faults in MOH, MW2, BO and BC and kept their best bits the game would be truly fantastic.

Ironing out the faults with MoH? Wouldn't that be starting from scratch?

I don't mind the knife... its just infuriating when you empty half a clip into someone and somehow they pull through all these bullet wounds and stick a knife in you that causes you to die immediately... Prone spam is getting retarded though, seriously it should be blocked unless you're wielding a sniper rifle. 50% of fights seem to start with your opponent dropping to the ground, so much so i've given up on headshots or torso shots, now i just aim for my opponents knees.

I'm neither a non-hardcore player or an FFA player and getting mad stutter.

You were on my HC server tother night ... I said hey, you Rroff from OCuK m8? Then you left :\

 

[~>Dg<~]

i had a round on a dom server last night with knifes only and had a 60 plus score just from knifing alone

I'm a happy chappy, upgraded the mb, cpu, memory and graphics card and now getting a steady 90fps+ with all settings maxed at a resoultion of 1920x1200 All the stuttering freezing has stopped it now looks good and runs very smooth and more importantly I am playing far better. Shame I had to spenda small fortune but then it was time to upgrade.

Though the stuttering and mini freezes were nothing to do with your system and just a game bug which has now been patched.

I used to get stuttering and mini freezes when you came face to face with people - I have an i7 930, 6gb Ram and a pair of GTX 480s - so definately wasn't my system.

Since the latest patch I find the game much much better - still room for improvement but nothing left that annoys me.

i still get it but reckon it's probably the fact i've switched to wireless.

D-link routers are a pile of ****.

1. I hope this isn't a repost.
2. There is one naughty word in the video so I won't embed it.
3. There is one naughty word in the video so don't watch it if you're that easily offended.

Agreed - I hate D-Link, they have some OK routers but a lot of junk too! Upgrade to a Netgear, I have never had a bad netgear.

Using DD-WRT firmware?

LOL, that is a good one.

I suck at using the theatre... I want to track a tomahawks flight, but the camera is either to fast or too slow to follow it... does anyone have any tricks?
