UHM PC USER ONLY!!!!!!! Yeh Im pissed at you .

Just wait ? ? ? or buy it ? ? ?

With all the bugs should I just wait a week or go buy it tonight so I can play it this weekend?
Even if the MP is really buggy I should be able to play the single player long enough for them to
work out some of the bugs. I play games in like 20 minute intervals. I can't sit at the computer
for hours. My back and bladder won't allow it

BFBC2 had tons of issues too when it first came out.
This thing was just released, they should be able to
patch the bugs soon.

I still didn't get the game. All my friends are bugging me telling that it's freaking awesome.

it is basically mw3 - but without using the name so they can make even more money on that one. maybe mw2.5
it is a fun game. it mw2 with improvements and a server browser. the only question is whether it is worth $60... as was said most games aren't and we still pay it.

at this point, the game has already sold so well that it's impossible to send a message through sales... so if you buy the game it doesn't really matter except for the hit to your wallet.
in short, if you like mw/2 but want real pc support, and a large multiplayer draw, it's not as bad when you look at it like that.

yeah but, to be fair - bfbc2 was a new engine and tried a whole bunch of new things. this game added pc server browser, and a dive feature - though very cool, does not warrant so many bugs with an engine and online system that's established.

You know I have the same problem. I hear from everyone they love it. But these same people liked MW2 also and I totally hate that frickin Piece of shit, but love COD 4 and like Cod W@W.
I just don't want to spend $60 and have it be like MW2. I bought MOH and I'm satified with it. It is about what I expected. OK , but not Great.

Give us some advise owners ! Is it anywhere close to COD4 and if you think so did you like MW2 as well ? I have one machine that will run it great, but one I have questions about, but no one is giving me feedback yet. My main question is I have a Dual Core 2.8 Athlon and the Minimum requirements is a Intel Dual Core 2.4. I'm thinking I may just squeeze by with my processor. My card I know will run it 4870 1 GB.

That rig should run this game ok if it wasnt full of bugs that is! COD4 & MW2 run sweet on my dual core rigs but black ops is rather laggy & not very nice to play because of it.

From what i've seen black ops doesnt run well on dual cores not even high end ones like an E8600

Hopefully a patch will sort this prob soon

I got it on 360... a have a couple issues here and there - the odd bug or what have you, but for the most part, I'm very satisfied and it's pretty much what I was expecting. I can see myself putting alot of time into the wager mode (one in the chamber to be more specific). It's a blast to play with friends on live... We had 3 xboxes going last night at a buddy's place. Hella fun.

I haven't tried Wager mode because I don't gamble it's a fun idea though! So far am enjoying the features of this game. Signing Contracts for more xp and $ is cool too

Badass shot I took last night

 

[Sadasius]

Just picked it up before work. Now I cannot wait to finish work to try it out! Nice screenie BTW!

Black Ops at 5760X1080???

Black Ops at 5760X1080 resolution is less than satisfactory..The view is fine except that everything seems squished. Left4Dead2 scaled very well with NOTHING squished...Is there any way to get things right?

 

[ShiBDiB]

ya play at a normal resolution

 

[Phxprovost]

ohh god,i can only imagine what the textures look like stretched out to that awkward resolution

 

[hellrazor]

Aspect ratio?

 

[ShiBDiB]

So finally bought it after finding the SP uninteresting... MP im not sure about, im level 8? so ive played a little bit.. but I'd almost rather keep playin MW2 for MP... MW2 seems smoother, the interface is better, the graphics seem more crisp, and theirs no lag...

I dunno maybe itll grow on me, right now im unsure.

Main Gripes
- Ranked match never finds a match
- Server browser is slow and makes picking a server while still refreshing difficult
- MW2 MP seems to look nicer imo
- Something about the game speed just seems off
- Maps r so so.

might need to tweak FOV

 

[pentastar111]

Why did they do that??? Like I said Left for Dead2 evrything looks normal except for the fisheye effect at the outer 2 screens. ALL of the Call of Duties do this "squish" effect. The "Stalker's" games, like L4D2 scale pretty well.

 

[scope54]

imo turn on supersampling, the games just looks better and (for me at least) I didn't lose any FPS. Seems smoother actually (again could just be me). Also for ATI users, for me i got shadowing problems with alpha textures with adaptive AA on.

to turn on SSAA:
launch game
press ~ for console
type: r_aaAlpha supersample (nice)
hit enter
leave console by hitting ~

Most honest review of the game I have read so far. I feel the same way.

The purchasing system I'm not so sure I agree with, I'd rather just level up but its still an interesting implementation.

The only reason why I'm playing this is over MW2 is because its newer and has Zombies :/

tried that too. No good. Guess I am stuck with 1920X1080
