How much 10-20% or more????

entropy13 · Dec 17, 2010

Just finished the single-player campaign.

Looking back at the points where I die, almost all of them was when I was piloting a helicopter or riding another vehicle. LOL

Bo$$ · Dec 17, 2010

well, the game runs fairly well maxxed out on my PC

well the games not really a graphics beast.. id say the graphics in mw2 looked nicer

Will this game run on an AMD 939 4000+ with 2GB ram GTS 250. Win 7 x64

ShiBDiB · Dec 18, 2010

Ehh, get 4gb of ram and it should. 2GB really isnt good for gaming, as windows will be using most of the available ram.

While getting 4GB of ram is a great idea and solid advice, Windows will not be using most of that ram. That's a common misconception about Vista and 7 because of their ram usage during idle. It uses the ram to cache bits of your most used programs to help them launch faster. It only uses the ram when you and your programs are not. If a program needs the ram, Windows releases it.

Just throwing that out there as a fiy.

stinger608 · Dec 19, 2010

^That is very correct Wile E! Great that you pointed that out, and as you mentioned, that is a common misconception with many people.

I just bought the game its...ok. Not as good as I thought. The SP is just bullets everywhere, you can tell poor level design. All you hear is bullets the ACDC soundtrack can't help that. It runs like shit. Honestly. 40fps at 1440x900 with 3 GTS 250's at max settings? With mw2 it's at 60fps steady and crysis runs at 60fps steady WTF?! It also has less detailed environments. Visuals aren't as good, a bit bland. Mw2 looks better, honestly cod 4 looks better. I'll have to play a bit more until I make a final decision. Also wtf is shader warming? I've just set everything to max, it would help to know what that means.

turn VSync OFF and it will remove the FPS Limit and smooth the mouse.

i think nvidia has some issues with this game, i certainly had no FPS problems whatsoever.

I know, honestly at 1440x900 one of my cards played Metro 2033 maxed. They play crysis maxed at a solid 60fps with vsync on. But can only manage 40fps in BO's? Seriously...like wtf.

BumbleBee · Dec 22, 2010

turn VSync OFF and Triple Buffering ON.

digitalerr0r · Dec 22, 2010

Singleplayer was kool, multiplayer sucks ass, MW2 owned it big time.. and it sucks that it does not support lan play (everything must be internet these days)

ngokhikho · Dec 24, 2010

just finished the campaign yesterday, I think its storyline is great, but the gameplay is dumb, not as good as the first Modern Warfare.

Fatal · Dec 24, 2010

I will be trying it out later tonight got it for a Christmas present. Seems a few have been having issues with the game. I guess its good that my hopes aren’t up about it lol.

Nokiacrazi · Dec 26, 2010

Im playing Black Ops on my current rig -

Samsung SyncMaster P2450
MSI K9A2 CF
AMD Athlon x2 5600+ (2.8Ghz)
GeCube Radeon 3870 512Mb

Playing at either 1920x1080, or any other lower resolution doesn't make much difference to my FPS. Get about 30-40 average with default/automatic graphics. Very playable. Only lags when there is a lot going on in a map.

But really - wager matches! Amazing...

AnomalouS · Dec 28, 2010

Any active PC players? looking for some mature 18+ players...

We have a 50 person Team Speak3 server and a 18 player Black Ops server. We have 4-5 active players usually on in the evenings and weekends. It is difficult to get our server up and running some days.
Shoot me a PM if you are interested in hanging out. We have a website . This is not so much a Clan invite, more of a if you play and want to hang out and bs then come check it out.

ShiBDiB · Dec 29, 2010

Played this hardcore for about a month... just recently went back to bad company 2 and I will say that playing BO made the switch back that much better.. BC2 all the way

Call of Duty: Black Ops most pirated game in 2010

TorrentFreak's annual report on the most pirated games of the year has Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops taking the dubious top honor for 2010. Even with Activision's attempts to play "good cop" with pirates, Black Ops is estimated to have been downloaded 4.27 million times on PC,

wow

There may very well be pirated games.... But I dont think I could point out 10 times I thought someone was hacking.

MW2 is a whole other story though. :banghead:

BumbleBee · Dec 30, 2010

these are only Torrent numbers. there is still Usenet and Filesharing services like Rapidshare. I hope they get a handle on piracy for PC Gaming's sake.

PC gaming is fine...

BO cost ehh we'll say in the 30-50 million range to make.. (Thats problly high)

"A new record is set with $650 million-worth sold in five days"

Pirating has not affected games as much as they say.

Mussels · Dec 30, 2010

most pirated game ever!!!!

still made a $500 million profit
