Call Of Duty : Black Ops (official thread)

HookeyStreet said:
Yeah, hence them being CoD titles! When you buy a CoD game, you know EXACTLY what you are getting. If you dont like it, dont buy it, simple.

I liked CoD 4, 5, 6 and guess what? I like CoD 7.

If you like the CoD titles from 4 onwards, chance, are you will like Black Ops. But if you didnt like CoD 4/5 and have a problem with CoD being CoD, steer clear of Black Ops!

+1 ^^^^ I played MP for around 3 hours lastnight.. and even with it problems.. It's way better than MW2 MP! :toast: As soon as they iron out the bugs then this game will be epic! well along with mod tools then it will be epic... lol The graphics aren't the greatest but what they have done with dx9 looks really good IMHO.

Does anyone know the full list of console commands? I'm looking for the command to connect to a server using IP:Port.. anyone? Thanks :rockout:

but the thing is, the majority of people simply don't care. they don't care about cost, value, work, technology. they just want a game that's fun to shoot people in. and really that's fine. you can not care all you want - just don't get upset because there are those of us that care.

some people care when companies rip off buyers so blatantly. some of us care when they release $20 expansions for $60!!! the fact that they do it and so many people buy them doesn't mean we should care any less, only that we should care more!

that type of attitude, imo, is ruining pc gaming. people that will go out and pay so much for so little, and then get upset that we see it as a bad thing. of course everyone has opinions, and you have a right to yours. you can like the game all you want. but when you buy it and defend it as though it is actually worth $60, you give them the power to do this even more.

again, i'm not arguing that the game can't be fun , just that i can't justify it's price tag, and I truly believe if more people thought that way game companies wouldn't feel they can get away with charging SO much for SOOO little.

It's a very mainstream game, this is expected. They ride off of the name and the people who don't know any better think it's the best game out there. But of course there are people out there that genuinely have fun with the game, and really that's the whole point of playing. Just as some people genuinely think Mac's are better then PC's, it depends on what you enjoy using and what you like to do, and a lot of the mainstream thinks Apple is a godly company that puts out revolutionary products, i can clearly see they aren't and can articulate why they aren't, but it's their choice to buy and use what they want for the purpose they need.

If people enjoy being stupid, there's no point in bothering them because they aren't thinking the way that i am about the products. People will always remain ignorant about things and it's their choice to learn more if they want to, it's just that most people don't care, they go for whatever feels fun and what looks shiny and cool to them, no point if throwing facts on people if they don't bother to listen or care.
 
Joining thread, as I've been amazed by the trailers and looking for the next game to play when the snow flies here in New England.

Without skimming through the entire thread, has anyone mentioned PC version system requirements? I prefer to play everything at 1920x1200. See my specs. Do I need a 580GTX and a 980X CPU? ;)

It's very easy to run, considering it's a Console port just like the large majority of PC games these days.:(

At 1920x1200 you should be able to run this game maxed with a GTX 260 or 4870 with ease.

Hell, my bro runs it on a 4850 and it plays smoothly. lol

You need two 580's SLI. This shit is cutting edge!
 
Got a buddy here trying to play Black Ops SP on his rig. He's hitting serious screen lag. My eyes tell me he's definitely dropping under 30fps. Haven't figured out how to "show FPS" yet. Running at:

1440x900
Texture filtering and quality: auto
AA and AF off

EVGA Precision shows his GPU usage maxed. I'm wondering if this is the performance to be expected from his rig. Specs are:

CPU: Xeon E3110 @ 3.8GHz
RAM: 2GB DDR2 800
Video: 8800GTS 512
OS: Win 7 Ultimate x64

We just installed Windows 7 fresh hours ago, and installed the latest Nvidia graphics drivers.

Will try some other settings but I haven't begun benching this game yet myself so in the meantime wanted to check whether this would be considered normal performance for his system.
 
Well I'm not speaking about this game on PC but on 360 it looks like absolute crap. Like they took MW2 out in the back room with WaW and let them mate and the game got WaW's looks. Like seriously this stuff makes MW2 look cutting edge.

I havent actually played but I watched for quite a bit and it does not look good at all. My friends tell me gameplay is alright though.

Hey TIGR I notice lastnight while playing that multithreading is disabled by default. You can change this setting through console or the .ini file. If you go to steam black ops forum someone has created an exe that will let you change the .ini file using there GUI program. There is a setting for multigpu as well so you may need to change that too. Remember 0 = off and 1 = on if you change it in the .ini file. Just open it up with notepad. :toast:
 
Do you know where the .ini is?
 
got to your steam folder and it should be in the BO folder in steamapps

You can search .ini file (*.ini)
 
Run FRAPS to get the FPS guys. Ten to one its capped at 30 FPS.
 
I checked and it's actually capped at 85.. but that is an easy fix in your ini file or console.

EDIT: Remember if you open console press shift + Tilde key to open it full screen.
 
I must be losing it. Still not finding this config file. Is it "config.ini"?

Why would it be capped at 30FPS?

What games do you know of that were capped at 30? Just wondering as I've not seen a FPS capped at 30FPS before.
 
Most console ports are capped at 30fps. I figured so at first that's when i noticed it was set to 85.
