COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

Yep, but there is a serious lack of social aspect on the pc version, a few seconds between maps and no votes. could take a few tips from the console version, if only I could use keyboard mouse on a 360

Thats because the pace is so much slower

The console is full of gobby kids who are not really old enough to play the game.

You mean PC right ? :O

I just end up talking crap on voice too cos i get bored, I spent about 10 minutes talking about Nova gas, and saying "gas gas get outta here" in a really bad yank accent...

Mate of mine is selling me a cheap q6600 G0 so i should be able to play properly from tomorrow.

Ive seen prestige 4 or 5 icon and it looks liek a horse so im going to stop there because i like horses best of all the animals they're my friends.

Yah its realllly frustrating... I still manage to do ok as it is but not half as well as I'd do if it was smooth.

have you tried enabling vsync? fixed my stuttering

Rroff · 25 Nov 2010 at 00:33

VSync just somewhat masks it it doesn't solve it - and the input lag with vsync is terrible.

damn right there, i dunno whats worse dying to stutter or dying cos my gun wont aim that last 1mm properly before lagging past and i end up looking a total noob.

i dont get hardly any mouse lag which i was suprised at tbh.

I played a couple of rounds of Modern Warfare 2 with Pulse a couple of nights ago, and it's at such a higher standard than Black Ops that it's not even funny. It was putting a knife through hot butter.

Ive played a fair bit of both versions now (360 and pc) man the xbox version online is so much easier. pc gamers are generally better, its not just the controls.

I've thought this when I've watched videos of the 360 version people playing MW2 etc. People seem to think because they pwn on the console version it means their skills and record are directly comparable to the PC and they'd be just as successful against PC players... I don't think so somehow

I think PC players tend to be older due to the fact it's a gaming rig often. Expensive, not for kids. IE play smarter. Just a theory though. Granted a lot of adults play xbox, but I'm just saying ratio wise.

It's cheaper for parents to buy their children a console over a PC, so you are right in certain aspects.

Also, with regards to the XP Boosting...

Okay that was six days ago and I still see level 15 prestige players. So much for doing it within hours!

Strela is awesome btw!

Oh and yes the extra slots are very handy. I have seven now.

You can get from level 1 to 25 in about I dunno, five hours? It's very rapid compared to previous CODs.

More like 2!

There are lots about MW2 MP that I'd resurrect for BO MP. Lots I wouldn't aswell like...

Edit: for some reason I get killed lots by people I've no idea where they are. Is this the lean? Or is it just anotehr of BO's awesome features?

Black Ops is all about who can hit their mouse button the quickest.

I made the mistake of thinking this. Im relatively new to serious pc gaming and the mouse and keyboard for online fps gaming. I dont do too badly in CoD on consoles but when i first started playing this i was being destroyed. I thought i was playing against ninjas or something! Im getting better now though and i can honestly say i can see why people say the mouse and keyboard is so superior. Im loving it.
