COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

Would you of had the same opinion if there wasn't so much hype about the game and it didn't have the Call of Duty branding on the game?

I agree it had its problems but out of all the FPS we are getting on the PC these days, what was people expecting? Maybe PC gamers are expecting too much of the game because its Call of Duty.

Keeping in mind comparing to Call of Duty 2, Modern Warfare 1 and 2 I wasn't expecting much. After all, it was made by a different development team compared to the successful games in the series. So game play etc, would be slightly different.

I would have the same opinion if this were made by Crytek, IW, Valve etc etc My expectations were for a MW2/COD4 clone. I got a COD2 clone which takes several steps back by being so dated & boring.

This game reminds me so much of the terrible Mercenaries 2 port from a few years ago.......

Why is every game ported from consoles, so CPU intensive ? It happens every time.

I don't know for sure but if I'd have to guess I'd say they have to be because consoles don't have the same super duper gpu's we can fit in our PC's so the CPU has to take more of the graphical load.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on this. ;)

TBH as long the game is playable, then im happy. being a pure gamer for over 10 years from the games like doom, duke nukem, MOHAA, castle wolfenstien, i think todays graphical wise is remarkable. Using source hammer myself (yes different developer) as an example to build a level add the detail, scripted sequences, triggers, takes a long time, you want a high graphical game with hours of gameplay then you have to wait longer, how many people on this thread would want to wait 4 years instead of 1 - 2 years?

4 years please


*thinks of Episode 3

What a waste of £40! I'm only about 1/4 of the way through MOH but I'm enjoying it far more.

As for MP, pointless atm, even with really low pings it's still like playing against a team of Michael J Foxes.

MOH was really good , one of the best military fps games i've played for a good few years!

gametrailers are such a joke they always bash other fps games for biringing nothing new to the table yet when it's a cod game they just say no changes is a good thing lol..

" The textures and details are HIGH class "

Was one thing the guy said ^ , but what GT do is most of the time play the console version and put it in the pc section video. GT really lap up console games :mad:. Yes i do have a console at home , but i'm still a pc gamer

agreed, can't please some people, they would moan if the game needed a high spec pc, then they would moan if it felt a couple of years behind on graphics

What? The engine and graphics are the same as MW2 yet it runs like crap mate. It isn't a PC specs issue, it's a quality control issue.

The graphics are perfectly adequate in appearance for this type of game, but the performance is not good enough.

graphics are poor imo these days. it is about time the put some effort into them. feels worse than MW2.

single player i havnt played yet but ill get round to it. MP is an unplayable laggfest for me :( hope it settles down asap, i wana pwn noobs before everyone learns every map glitch and hack in the game!

edit:
4ghz i7 920
5870 CF (tried turning CF off)
6gig 2000mhz ddr3

so its not a spec problem.

All I was expecting was MW2, but with dedicated servers, new maps and a few tweaks to the killstreaks and perks etc.

That's all they needed to do.

How they could balls it up to this extent defies belief.
 
hmm was going to get this on the way to work, im having second thoughts now. The last COD i played was COD:MW and this looks exactly the same other then the FPS slowdown people have mentioned.....

please explain how the performance isn't good enough?
 
Im going to reserve judgement hoping that it runs ok and is playable and the lag issues are resolved. (not installed it yet just hoping my c2d 3.33ghz 4gig of dom 1066 and gtx 280xt run it reasonably well)

Allied Assault and Spearhead yes, 2K10 is nowhere near as good, yet still manages to be more enjoyable in SP than Black Ops.

Just tried the MP again, on a Treyarch server, 30ms ping, constant 5 second lag spikes, yay!

So this game has dedi servers so is it able to stream to bans sites? It would be nice to play a cod game without it being jam packed full of cheats, if it can't ill just stick to cod4

The framerate is all over the place, animations are jerky, sometimes the game will pause for a whole half second (might not sound much but it is very jarring in a game like this). Even the number countdown at the beginning of each match isn't smooth - compare it to MW2. I mean how much GPU and CPU power do you actually need to make 5-4-3-2-1 look smooth? :p
