Call Of Duty : Black Ops (official thread)

[PVTCaboose1337]

For a second I thought 'wow thats great' until I saw it was an unlocked Sempron 140 with the clocks cranked

+1. If that were a stock Sempron I would be curious to see the performance. I don't think it would be all too much worse however, maybe 30% IMO.

 

[Mussels]

what myth is debunked? thats showing the game on a.... 3847? MHz dual core and a 5870. thats high end by the games requirements.

 

[Mussels]

The myth that one needs a quad core to run this game...standby.

well yeah thats a myth.

quad might help, but a dual core is whats needed.


CoD games have always scaled down well on the graphics too, so VGA aint important if you turn shit down. i bet it runs like turd on a single core <2.5Ghz tho

 

[alexsubri]

Myth debunked -

Components tested:

Sempron 140 single core cpu
Saaphire 5870

Framerates as high as 137 were recorded and gameplay was adequate.

Why not run the game at 16x AA and not 2x AA? I'm sure the 5870 can run 16x no problem

 

[Mussels]

show WHAT? i dont have any low end hardware to test with.

 

[Mussels]

We are all aware what the game requirements are...I speak to the countless forum posts about the problems this particular game has had. I figure if I can run some tests to either prove or disprove certain statements then it will benefit all. Pictures are after all worth a thousand words...

true but it only helps when you state WHAT you're proving.


EG, commenting on a single core CPU yet showing screenies of a high clocked dual, without saying why until i asked a few posts later...

 

[Mussels]

It would seem your goal here is to confront without reason. I notice a trend of your's is to jump from thread to thread injecting sometimes meaningless banter. Case in point is the other day you lambasted a kid in his thread because he posted about overclocking a 8400 video card. You told him it was useless and to buy a decent card...that is just rude and completely out of line. If I recall others had the same view of your post as well.

no, i never said that. i said few people here would be interested. He made the post in a terrible way (no screenshots, no before and after testing, no benchmark runs) and those threads die off in a very quick fashion.

it was others in the thread who assumed my intention was to insult, and started attacking me.


actually look at your post here in this thread: you say "myth debunked!" - no quotes to another post, not directly after a post about this 'myth', no comments in your post as to what myth.

all you proved was that the game runs fine on a 5870. you also seemed to be implying it worked on a singe core CPU, when the blurry CPU-Z screeny said it was a dual core.

you then asked me to 'show what ive got' without any context. show what? my in game FPS which will be the same as yours since i too have a 5870? i've never said this game needs more than the system you showed. stop being defensive about it for no reason.

you might think i'm confrontational, i am. i ask the questions other people wont. In this case, "what the F is he talking about?"

 

[Mussels]

If you followed any posts on BlackOps you would not have to ask these questions. That is why I posted in this thread. If the other's were attacking you might it be wise to re-think your posting style?

i have read all 31 pages of this thread. its quite arrogant of you to assume ANYONE is following your posts specifically, why would anyone have a clue what you're talking about with no references to it on this page?

let me summarise my opinion right now.


1. i play nice. if i didnt, you'd have had posts deleted, or an infraction or something. so dont even bother going there. (thats a serious warning too - this post isnt an invitation to start). Having a go at me because you can pull out the 'moderator abuse' card when i fight back isnt going to work. If thats not what you're doing, why arent you commenting on the other people who pointed out some of the same mistakes? Why am i being targeted?

2. Look at the posts immediately after yours - the first three posts (me included) had no idea what you were talking about, and instead only pointed out that you contradicted yourself with the single core comment and dual core picture. You then made a vague challenge for me to show... what? you still havent said.

you seem like your panties are in a twist, because i caught you out in a screwup. no one knew what you were talking about because you didnt say. stop trying to take me down with you, it aint working.


I'm not stopping you from making your comments and thoughts known about black ops running fine on whatever hardware, but ffs, at least make your opinions clear, and stop attacking me just because i've pointed out your mistake(s)

 

[johnnyfiive]

So... new maps need to come out like... nao!

 

[LifeOnMars]

Finally going to be able to try this game at some point today now that my new rig parts are all going to be here soon. Will share my thoughts on it later. Looks like it could be a fun single player experience.

 

[erocker]

Keep the discussion civil and on topic. This is the last warning.

 

[DrPepper]

I didn't say it violated free speech. I just said it was stupid. There are better things they can be worrying about for their paying customers.

I know you never said anything about free speech it's something I added in because that's what some people were saying.

Back OT for me is that I've gave up this game for BC2 and GT5. Got some nice SS from it though.

CoD games have always scaled down well on the graphics too, so VGA aint important if you turn shit down. i bet it runs like turd on a single core <2.5Ghz tho

I bet it will run fine on my i7 at 1.6ghz single core

Finally managed to win a match on that small map Nuketown...I was pumped!

(Can you spot the camper here? )

I hate that frickin Map. I get annihilation every time. I have won one round and was top dog.
I think I went 13/11. The map was that factory looking thing. I have to be honest I like BFBC2
a lot better and I'm no better at playing it either. I'm running at about a .50 K/D ration on both.
MOH I have a little better stats.

 

[Radi_SVK]

First impression of the game? Its a joke!!

 

[Radi_SVK]

Same engine after all.

Are you sure about that my friend? I've just tried the game first time and Im frankly shocked.Its lame,I mean the engine,the character models are awful,so are they movements I dont think I will play this game.I was really looking forward to it.

 

[travva]

what do you expect bro? this is an evolution in the cod series with some new enhancements to keep things fresh. this game is what mw2 should have been and i've been playing the shit out of it!

 

[DOM]

i like this game nuketown is my fav map cuz its small hate looking for ppl or get shot cuz ppl like to camp on the large map

but is this good or bad ? im already at 49 with 26-27hrs of game play ?

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

Likewise here. That is pretty much average I would say. Not too hard to get exp.

the name you use in steam is not how, you have to use the account name they use to log in.


i beleive black ops uses your steam friends list.

okay im gonna go ahead and keep this civil and short, my co workers fiannly talked me into playing with them , i had already bought the game but only for the single player, got on last night for multiplayer, and this game for the 360 which is what i have it for, no offense, i think it just looks awefull and plays awefull, this is a absolute joke, the gunz done have recoil, i get killed in 1 shot by a pistil at 300 feet against a ak, im like WOW, i played for like 30 minutes and got my ass handed to me by stupid ass shit all the time. stuff that in reality most of isnt even possible. and also looking at the horrible blurrged smudged non loading textures, i was pretty sure i was back playing perfect dark. thats just my opinion, maybe im usta bc2 too much, but i loved the first modern warfare and this one just makes me angry.

so after that eccounter i needed to come play bc2 for about 45 minutes and flush the whole exsperience out of my system

 

[Wile E]

You are playing it on 360, what did you expect?

At least play it on PC, it's not quite as bad.

true, i dont know i only really got it for single player and i wanted to play it on my my 56 inch with my surround sound without having to drag my computer downstairs and hook it to the tv. still im sure the gameplay hasnt changed and i guess thats my major drawback

the gameplay would have, to an extent.

the enemies would have to be less accurate, hit you less often, and you have auto aim.


Theres no such thing as an FPS game where gameplay hasnt been altered between console and PC.

 

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I agree it looks awful but as far as gun recoil goes I'm not sure what you're talking about because all the guns have quite a bit of recoil, in different styles obviously.
