COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

Ok played the online for about a couple days. Tubing is still incredibly gay, sniping is thin on the ground, those RC cars are an annoying inclusion (its basically remote controlled noob tubing), the maps are pretty good if a little cluttered, weapons sound a bit naff, having actual servers is so much better (keep expecting the host to rage quit after being shot, 3 times a game...). Overall I like it, doesnt seem to flow the same as MW2 but its maybe due to not knowing the maps very well and still not finding my perfect setup.

Been playing on TFU servers mostly (quite possibly youve killed me many times whilst im wandering around getting lost again and again). Will keep going and see how it goes but why have they enabled people to carry so much exploding crap that requires no skill or thought to use, rewarding the idiots and punishing the people who actually want to play an fps.

RC cars are good for flushing out persistant campers tho :D and claymores can be used against them, tho there is a lack of a decent counter and the hit box on them can be mildly dodgy making hitting them when they are full throttle a pain... imo the personal jammer should disrupt RC control making them explode shortly after entering its field (say 3 second count down to exploding) so as a counter you could place one near you.
 
Awesome patch notes

im really surpised they are fixing a lot of stuff
i thought once they had our money they will just tell us to **** off

if we combine all the patch notes for MW2 im betting it wouldn't be half as long as this
probably not even a quarter long
 
I just lost 7 ranks! This is unbelievable, I can't believe they can't fix this. I've really tried to like this game but it just doesn' work properly. It still not working this long after release is unreal.
 
oh my goodness it has literally undone my last two horus of pay and stolen 24k cash from me, what a broken broken game. Shame on treyarch, I'll know from now on. Unbelievable.

This tbh. Jammer would have a lot more potential then.
 
Just started the single player of this for the first time, playing at 1680x1050 with textures on high and in the opening video the packet of cigarettes on the arm of the person in the bar looks like it was drawn on a zx spectrum - are the textures in this games really that bad or is it a problem at my end?

Glad that I got it for a bargain price then, as I wouldn't have been happy to pay 2010 prices for a game that looks like it was coded a few years ago!

How much?

And the graphics were arguably better in COD4 from 2007. I don't think the engine is to blame, it's just Treyarch cutting corners.
 
No this isn't the PS1 version, it's a PC game in 2010.

By the way, this is at max detail, with 'Extra' textures.

£12 - was in a store in town earlier today and someone tried to return their copy as they didn't have internet at home, store refused as it said internet connection required on the box, so I offered him £12 cash for it.

Mind you, if I had paid much more than that for it I would feel ripped off
 
You do have a point dirtydog. However with all the tweaks I have applied within the last 2 weeks my lag has all but gone - at the end of the day, Crysis Warhead had great graphics but the multi-player was horrible. The gameplay in this version is pretty good IMO so I'm not too fussed that the graphics are crap.
 
£12 :eek: He is mad. I wouldn't have let someone sell it to me so cheaply, I wouldn't feel right about it. He could have sold it on ebay for more than double that with complete ease.
 
If my Dad gets the retail disc of this is it a steam works game? I,e can I add it to steam to update or does it have to be done through steam?
