Looks pretty good imo. It's still time to up the game though. They've hardly moved since COD4 (The best SP I've ever played).

Yeah but I played cod4 y'day and the graphics are quite poor compared to B.O
 
Played this for the first time in ages today, and i was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was running. I gave up on it a few weeks after release due to having major stuttering issues. Today it was running like greased lightning, 1920x1200 all settings on highest. Pity i was a bit rubbish though, so long since i played a cod game, very different from bfbc2 which im more used to.
 
whats your steam name ill add you setter :)

i play bops but everyone i played it with either rage quits or blames everything for bad scores then rage quits :p
 
just filter browser for hardcore and search and destroy and should be easy enough to find, london servers are disappearing from the server browser due to a gameserver fault so its hit and miss whether you find it or not. This is the reason its empty right now because its not showing on ppl's favourites

or add me on steam, my profiles in my sig

I used to have a problem where I allways had 'Lost connection to Host' shortly after the game came out it was so bad I gave up didnt play it for a few months until they released a patch which solved the problem and it went away over night.

Alas now with the new patch its returned, I have not been able to connect to a single game allways getting 'Lost connection to host'

Any ideas? I have tried temporarily disabling firewalls etc and nothing!

Is this just Black Ops? Is your net connection otherwise stable?

I noticed after the last patch (1.08) I was getting an insane amount of lag at the start of every round. Tried a few things but ended up swapping out the router and that solved things (old router ca. 4 yrs old). There are however certain setups that hate Black Ops, for example, if you have an SPI firewall enabled and especially if you log events.

New patch 1.09 just seems to have sharpened everything right up for me again. Feels like COD4 and 5 ... at last.

You shouldn't have to, but open up these ports.

Another possible fix is to delete ClientRegistry.blob located in main Steam install folder.

Another possible fix is to open up steam, go to your list of installed games, right-click on your Black Ops MP, properties, files and verify cache. After that, defrag.

Another possible fix is to find players folder which is located in steam/steamapps/common/call of duty black ops and delete the config_mp file. Not so much this IMO but it will default the game back to it's original state and auto-create a new file once you start the game. You would have to re-enter your custom config etc.

f I can think of anything else, I'll tell you.
 
I haven't been able to play since the patch!!

I keep getting the below:

I have restarted the game, restarted my PC, turned off he firewall and Varified my game frm steam (with perfect results). So I'm a bit lost now.
The COD site says there aren't any problems...
