COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

Been playing Nuketown Domination since 2nd prestige rank 35, now 3rd prestige rank 40 1 week later, and that's with about 2 hrs play a night :D

It's quite a tactical map for such a small one.

The only thing that jarates me muchly is when your team isn't interested in captures or defending :/ They secretly wish they were playing TDM lol

Just had a quick game to test the new patch.

Stuttering has gone at the start of the map when pre cache of shaders is enabled.

Stuttering for the first 2 maps or so is quite reduced, but I find after 2-3 maps I get progressively worse stuttering, like a memory leak, but theres no signs of a memory leak using diagnostic tools. I'm lucky if I can play another map after that before the game locks up either forcing me to alt+ctrl+del or hard reset PC :(
 
see thats the thing i dont love the game but i dont hate it . i dont post twenty posts a day in here which are pure hate ;) if you dont like it that much dont play it its that simple really.

same people are saying how bad it is like all day but are still playing it :confused: if you still playing it all time but hate it as much as they post they hate it thats some crazy poo poo :p

if you look at posts on this thread the last ten pgs are from 5 people or so saying i hate black ops every post :).

I thought it was just me having this! First two games are quite smooth and enjoyable with a steady 80+ FPS and then following that I struggle to stay above 30?!
 
Just went back and played a few rounds on MW2... after the initial few minutes of attempting to hack claymores... lol... I got back in the swing of it and I have to say... I didn't realise how utterly crap Black Ops really is until I went back to MW2... so smooth and fluid to play and generally so polished... they really really need to take MW2 put some of the good stuff from Black Ops in there like hacking claymores, sam sites, etc. tweak some of the lamer perks and put Left 4 Dead style dedicated server lobbies in.

Are you joking? Black ops is way better than MW2... MW2 was a great designed game but massively let down by IWNet which introduces massive lag ruins the game.

In black ops, you shoot someone it hits them. In MW2 you shoot someone dead in your cursor but get killed - you can watch the replay and its like you missed them - all lag.

I went back to MW2 last week and after about 5 games I had to go stand outside and de-stress. Such a lovely game ruined by its implementation.

Played a few hundred hours on MW2 and lag isn't a problem usually, maybe the problem is your end.

I agree that the IWNet aspect makes the game a complete pain in the arse, but when you do finally get on a game with a good host, some decent players and no hackers hands down is far superior to black ops. The guns feel great, balanced and tactile to shoot, the different guns have more of a distinct character than the guns in Black Ops that all feel like the same gun but with a different skin. The gameplay has a better pace to it with better spawns as well.
 
Nope... maybe with virgin Media as all my friends who play are on VM Fibre and experience the same poor issues - it's IWNet.

10mb Fibre connection that works well and I have all the right ports open. It is mostly playable, but then random spiked of lag... because it is hosted ona users PC.

Also crap as you have about 8 people playing on huge maps which is boring as hell.

I'd agree that on a good host, without too many other laggy players the netcode is amongst the best for hit registry, etc. its when you get a sub-par host and/or several players who are mad lagging that it all goes to hell.

And being that there are no admins and you cant set rules, like KICK if PING = 100+ then you just have to put up with rubbish game after rubbish game.

I have undreds of hours in MW2 and I used to put up with IWnet, but i just can't go back to it - which is a shame because as I have said, MW2 is a well designed game.

I agree it isn't ideal but I've had brilliant fun playing it so it can't be that bad :)

Of course we all hoped that Black Ops would be every bit as good as MW2, and then some (with dedicated servers etc.) but it just wasn't to be.

Played Black Ops much? There are often players with huge pings who lag and warp all over the place. More than happens in MW2 where IWNet matchmakes players on the basis of ping and usually it works well.
