Call of Duty Black Ops Problems Discussed On Twitter

There is chronic lag on the PC version. Games are virtually unplayable. Not fit for purpose.

oh man you're right i played for like 2 hrs and every since i joined online server lag and constant freezing and u cant play notthing and i need to shoot a fucking guy 100 times while he kills me in 4 bullets treyarch really needs to fix this and take they heads out of bob koticks's dick and have a fucking public beta fuck my life

Latency is fine, its FPS that is killing everyone, its a worse looking game than MW2, but it takes more to run?

I started playing at 5am this morning and yes there is a serious FPS lag issue with the P.C version that needs immediate attention making the game unplayable on single player and multiplayer. My P.C is well within specs so it is a development problem not a user problem.

I had problems with the game hanging in multiplayer. I would be playing along fine with a great FPS, then my FPS would go to 0 for a few seconds… than back to normal. This would happen about once every minute or two.

I was also getting "Connection Interruptions" quite often. I was unable to complete a single game because i would loose my connection half way through.

Sounds like opening day jitters to me, they will get sorted out quickly.

Massive lag in single player…haven't even bothered to try Multi-player. A huge disappointment as the poor frame rate takes any skill away.

Freezing problem seems to be that inexplicably, Black Ops places enormous demands on the CPU!!

I have never known a game to crash my PS3 so much… It freezes every 2 minutes, unplayable

game is totaly unplayable at present , hope this is early teething issues and they are working at it with all their resources, such a shame for a much anticipated game you would think all these problems would be sorted before release, to part with your hard earned cash only to get it home and lag like a snail in the desert

I can not connect my Wii to the Multiplayer yet I am able to connect to the Zombie multiplayer.

lag lag 'n freez

Can't even start the game! everything is installed and updated, but when i open either multiplayer or single player i can't do anything…the game opens fine and i still can move my mouse but can't use my keyboard or click anything! the windows 7 blue loading circle stays hovering over my cursor even after the game has been started and the only thing i can do is ctrl alt delete and end task as it says black ops is not responding….anyone have any idea?! i have reinstalled 2 times now…once off the cd again once straight from steam as well as updating my video drivers and what not….

can not get on to any multiplayer game on xbox live, just keeps searching.

lag fest ive put it down till the updates are in, waited inline to hours for this nonsense

cannot connect to multiplayer on the WII, this sucks

i have the same issue but "can you run it" tells me that i have a "shit" proccesor. what proccesor u have? i have AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+

I'll never buy another MP game that has not gone through a public beta. Activision, your games are no sacred cow that cannot be touched or looked at before official launch.

PPL i just istalit and agree unplayble AND I PAY 60 EURO FOR THIS CRAP CAN I GO TO JUDGE OR SOMTING WHIT IT???

The MP is deemed unplayable. The PC community was sold a faulty product.

By law they MUST fix it or refund everyone's money in full, otherwise they are open to a class action law suit.

It is illegal to sell a faulty product. It falls under false advertisment. And no, its not 1 or 2 people having problems. Everyone playing the PC version is suffering massive fps spikes, freezes, crashes, irregular ping spikes.

Advertising a "working" product, and in turn selling a "broken" product, is illegal. They must push a patch through or they will loose millions of dollars.

I have the exact same problem but still cant find a fix

Just paid £40 for this 'must have' game, have a pc well capable of running it, but I get past all the intro garbage at the start of the game, into the Cuba campaign and then the whole thing just freezes!!!!!!! It's a shame they didn't spend their massive sales & marketing budget on getting the game to run properly!!!!!!!!!! Argggghhh!!!!!!!!

same issue here..updated everything. DirectX, graphic,audio,mouse&keyboard.
Really sucks! Nobody any solution?

As for the PC side, the CPU's are maxing out. Mine is a dual core 3.5Ghz, and plays the game at 100% CPU even just sitting in a menu. There are a lot of people on the Steam Forums, infact nearly 300,000 views now on the CPU issue. Even people with a new i7.

There is a major issue, but remember this is day one of release and there are literally tens of thousands of people playing this game. Personally I think Steam is failng, and Triarch need to pull their finger out with a patch.

The simple answer would have been an open beta like Bad Company2, but the COD franchise is obbsessed with secrecy.

Instead you pay £40 or there abouts and get rammed up the pipe.

-BOOOOO! TREARCH
-BOOOOO! STEAM
-SHAME ON YOU!

(although I'm sure this will be fixed within a few days and will be a super awsome game)

I bought this game today and when I start playing I noticed that all servers had a bit lag, and after a while my computer started to freeze when I've played for 5-10min and I had to restart my computer to get away from it. And now when I try again all servers have uber lag. Its like having 10fps and 1000ms.

u sir are win

Seriously?… Why is everyone here so hooked on conspiricy?

Are Treyarch working on fix? I'd say they are working their asses off as we speak.

THIS IS DAY ONE… A FIX (OF SOME DESCRIPTION) WILL HAPPEN AUTOMATICLY WHEN AMERICA GOES TO SLEEP. MOST OF THE ISSUES HERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE TOO QUICK.

This is not normal circumstances. This is release day. Yes everyone is a little dissapointed, but within a few days you will have forgoten about it, and look back on the lawsuit rant and realise that it was a bit premature.

(LVL 85 this is not a direct attack on you dude, just you had a big post there)

Yes, This sucks! high video setting 1-30 fps, Low settings 1-30 fps.
The resolution u chance etc it dosent help you at all..
I mean i waited this game like a little child, now im crying like big baby when everything is f'ckd up!

Look in my opinion i think this has been done on purpose, us pc users arnt where the gaming industry wants to go anymore, they make more money from the consoles, piracy is killing the pc game industry due to its ease. I personally think they new about the problem, because wouldnt they have thaught, lets give this game a try on the pc when theyde finished it. So i think this is another pc issue that were just meant to deal with, and people surly will say, well just buy it on the xbox/ps3. Why bother with the pc copy. In my opinion companies like ati/nvidia need to push the gaming industry back towards the pc user, as i feel that spending £600+ on a pc will be a waste of time in years to come.

I love the people saying there is lag in the one player… all I gotta say is at least you can op your one player mine just tells me the game in unavailalbe.

i just want my money back

Just purchased the game, all good until i try and play the game " i click under Game- Cod=Black ops "
the game starts to load and all of a sudden it freezes on a black screen that says something about this sofware needs the latest update or something and it just freezes ther..I can't get any further.

This is bullshit! Total unadulterated bullshit ! The single player freezes and lags horribly. Even I can't play the multiplayer version cause it totally lags. My PC is designed for gaming because I built it myself and this game is worst than Medal of Honor. Total rip-off. These bastards better find a quick fix to this lag problem. Fucking corporate knuckle-heads probably knew there was a problem but decided to put it out anyways. Jesus fucking christ I want my money back !!!

me also

Look they wont listen, the pc user is like a whining child to these companies. because if you ignore someone long enough, they always go away.

I think everyone should roll a wee joint, and chill out.

Get over it!!! Stop acting like kiddies. Yes it is dissapointing, but holy hell.. THERE IS NO CONSPIRICY AGAINST YOU!!

Yes the developers make a lot of money from console gamers, a lot more than the PC market, but they still make outragous amounts of money from the PC market. Millions and millions of pounds / dollars.

Stop moaning, wait for a fix (which will come) and pick up the toys you chucked out the prams guys. Get a grip!

My ps3 will not even let me [play the game, with in the first 5 min of the intro to the game it froze, i restarted my PS multiple times and the same issue occured, it cant be my playstation because it plays other games fine. I really hope this can be fixed with a patch if not im going to be furious

Yep same here my blackops on my highest resolution and graphics ranges from 25-60 fps, but plays like it's running at 9 fps, so i dropped it all the way down to the lowest resolution and graphics (it looks like a playstation 1 game) and the fps stayed the same as it was with max settings. Looks like Ill just read these Discworld books I found

Also there is a problem with the friend invite system steam and treyarch need to make some contact on that factor, also i can almost never join the same server because it isnt shown in the same ranked list nor can i join them within the friends tab then it shows nowone is playing Treyarch the game looks fina and all but this issues are not to be made

My computer specs are well over recommended but this game lags intensely in single player, haven't tried multiplayer yet. It's really a shame, Crysis is graphically superior to this game and it runs twice as fast, Treyarch needs to get this sorted out ASAP.

not just pc games suffering!, 6 times i got booted from my mates game on ps3, at one point i could see her in my lobby but not myself, when playing a game it shows her as blue for about 30 seconds then suddenly shes green like everyone else, i have to click on playstation network 6 times before it even loads the mulitplayer!! wtf!!!

lag lag lag .what a waste of money ! Very disapointed . try and get a refund now games open s…….

not sure what all the fuss is about.. q'd for midnightm got it home played all day… top 100 ranked in the world… no problems with anyone else i know who has it.

@LVL85 thanks for the laugh…quality…if its faulty u exchange it, law suit o dear o dear.

pc people, by a console…

The lag is epic. New words I have created to descride the game
Lagtacular
Lagtastic
Lag-o-matic

Sort it out Treyarch! I am going to trade in my p.c version for xbox 360….it works!

I have it for my PS3. No Problems, No Lag, No wait time 0=)

same problem when i go on multiplayer it lags soooo bad and its really hard to play so then i quit and think its my video setting and play again and still lags really bad!!! there needs to be a patch that fixes this shit fast!!!!!!

having same problem were you ever able to get on?

It can't run singleplayer at launch. That's complete garbage and inexcusable. It shouldn't require a patch.

wtf are they playing at new game 44£ later and very pissed off

Got the same problem…. anyone know how to fix it?

I dont have problems with singel player, but when it comes too the multiplayer I rly dont know whats wrong. I have tryd from 800×600 too 1920×1080 and tryd all hig/low and I have the same lags. does someone know the problem on this?

same problem please help!!! everything is up to date, but i have the same blue circle and i have to force shut down my computer to get out of it. this is b.s.- should have just got it for xbox. i'm hearing nothing good about the p.c. version

i have a intel core 2 quad Q9650…i know its not my computer…the game is running just fine, i just can't click on anything or use my keyboard unless i am hitting ctrl alt delete to end the task….so frustrating! some of the guys i work with said to open the game in windowed mode…but idk how to do that…anyone know?!

Gameplay is terrible onmy PS3. When I sprint, or there is a lot of action the frame rate drops noticeably. I'm seeing a huge delay when I watch kill cams and see myself start firing a few seconds after I am already being shot at by someone I knew was coming around a corner. I don't have these problems with MW2, a much more refined game. I'm very disappointed and will probably go back to MW2. I hope Treyarch can fix this but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I can not stand this stuff.. it is not fair that Sony is being flooded with calls for a crapy game. I was about to send my playstation back to Sony, but I am about to file a class action lawsuit against Activision.

Issues with the game. This isnt working right. I have 3000 dollars computer above the specs and the shit still lags and the graphics is like cartoon. Oh btw, STEAM… Bastards… it crashes on me too. I JUST WANT MY FUCKING MONEY BACK. IM GOING BACK TO Medal of honor Multiplayer

i think if people arent so dumb and realise if you wait a while this will be pathced. such a big game can't be perfect as soon as its released. and just for everyones informtation its lagging on consoles as much as it is pc's

Getting mp no problem . (xbox) some troubles when I’m inviting my party in… but … people should really get a grip . Its launch day . And pc gamers need to dry there eyes and get a fucking console .

im playing black ops and im on deflector level there is a part where you push through a door and all i get is a black screen what that about any ideas

Black ops -ps3 : got it a day early, seemed fine until today, started

Multiplayer and console froze. Restarted and froze at startup with black screen. Unistalled everything and tried again, but no luck, froze on black screen before I could even update. Thing is, it plays other games fine, so it has to be black ops! Very very miffed….. If you read this and have the same issue for ps3 MAKE SuRE you leave a comment!

cannot connect to multiplayer on wii….only zombies work….any ideas?

For some reason my copy has a problem where I start playing then the graphics go dark but I can still see where I am going. It's like the textture of everything is BLACK except for a few things that are outlined to show paths. Anyways, some keyboard keys stop working as well. I can move around and shoot. But I can't jump or press numbers or even chat. Then the other players that are running around are completely invisible… all I see are weapons running around shooting people.

I am running a Q6600 with 4GB ram Windows 7 32bit ATI HD 4850 1gb video ram with Intel 80gb SSD. definitely something wrong with the game. It's like after match changes its back to normal then next map it screws up again.

well that's what u get without a public beta!!! Learn Activision ! learn!

I am having the same issue

Im on xbox live with it and i cant join a party with my mates and i cant seem to get onto any games sometimes just says no matches available what the hell someone help

I get the same thing, same level. Right when you push through the door, balck screen. I can hear the dialect, see the range locator, yellow direction arrow and the ammo round indicator in the bottem left but nothing else but complete black. Huge bummer.

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SOME MORONS SAYING THAT IT ISN'T TREYARCHS FAULT FOR RELEASING A BUGGY GAME!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS. I PLAYED BETA'S BETTER THEN THIS. IT IS TREYARCHS FAULT FOR NOT TESTING THIS. ARE THE ALL HELLEN KELLERS THERE. BLIND!!! STOP DEFENDING TREYARCH. WOULD YOU BE HAPPY WITH A NEW CAR THAT HAD A WARPED AXEL. DON't THINK SO!!!!

currently 915 EST…..been attempting since 400 pm. no luck still cannot connect to the multiplayer game. guess this was a big suprise for treyarch and activision huh? doubt it. guess i will check back tomorrow : (

love the dude who said 'buy a ps3 instead'
i mean rofl, since we all spent our bucks on a good PC system, lets not use it and buy a console. not to start the Pcconsole argument, but they're all platforms that should work properly

For all you pc haters out there, think about where gaming came from in the first place. not only that but guess what, your playing on a computer too…………and its sad when pc, and consoles are both having major issues…..for that……….treyarch suks nuts.

"such a big game can't be perfect as soon as its released."

MW and MW2 was.

Fuck me … I have a 2.2 core to due CPU and I can hear it dying in there. The older versions of call of duty worked just fine with the graphics all the way up on my laptop, but for this one, and even though my CPU is above requirements, I still can't play the game because and as someone mentioned before, the game puts a huge huge load on the CPU … just like GTAIV shit.

lags all over

I'm disappointed IW rocks!

PC version. Can’t play singleplayer or multiplayer. FPS averages below 10. So mad… My PC is more than enough in all catagories and still having problems. As soon as the Game initializes both my CPU’s max out and I can’t really do anything. It doesn’t seem to be a lag issue it just won’t run on my machine. PLEASE FIX!!!

Lagging on ps3 bad aswell not gd enough considering all the money these guys make! Jus make a smooth non lag game for once

The game in its present state is an embarassment. When MW2 was released, I was able to run it flawlessly on maximum settings. Comparitively, Black Ops looks worse than MW2, yet it's taxing my CPU to the ground. This just goes to show who remains champion between the two development teams, if there were any doubts at all.

Even if some miraculous patch does solve our problems, I won't regain my respect for Trearch and Activision. The game didn't cost any less for us PC users than it did for the console crowd this time around. Why are we left with an inferior and unfinished product that we can't even return?

im having the ol black screen problem too. it took me 4 tries to even download the game! if youre having problems downloading it, just eject the disc and put it back in, that worked for me. however, after i did that and tried loading the game…….nothing but a black screen!!!!! glad i pumped myself up for this game lol so much fun

PS3 – Definitely not as smooth as MW2. I am only just able to play it.

This is exactly the type of shit people get when they dont publicly beta test their games.

xbox has problems to can't get into lobbies with friends spent 2 hrs trying to get 1 match started. spawns are bad finally get in game and spawn in front of the other team. people spawn all over the place. gun works sometimes. hoping patch is released soon can't play zombies with friends either.

It really sucks. I have a decent computer, and MW 2 runned properly with medium graphics, I'm very pissed if they won't do anything to this FPS problem. Gosh, it wont run on like 20 fps with resolution 800×600 or what it is , and all setting flipped on minium.

I have a Dell 720 XPS quad core, 8 gigs of ram, and 1 gig on a Nvidia280x, a Killer NIC card to reduce latency, and a pro sound card. Single player ran completely smooth on max settings. I beat the game on the hardest setting in 5 hours. I then hop online to play multiplayer and the lag is sooooooo bad that my computer freezes and i have to manually power down………… terrible first day multiplayer experience. Terrible.

I feel bad too about the game, the video intro get spike, the single player is horrible frame rate. My PC run modern warfare 2 at the maximum, every game i play is always on max… its horrible.

yea bro same here i keep getting error when tryin to link up to the server…i was playin good on my ps3 for a few hours but i couldnt join some of my friends well most of them i couldnt join…and it has frozzen up on me too and its been acting slow when i try to move thru the main menu to get into the different play modes…was laggin in sp also…hope they fix this…my day off is tomorrow and i want to play !

I got COD:BO for my PS3 and im very disappointed. The game freezes in every mode but zombie and its to the point where im beyond giving it a second chance because its “launch time”. I’ve never had a problem with MW2 and may stay with it. I really think Black ops would b great if it didn’t have such a horrible freeze rate. I hope treyarch is looking to fix asap, refund or reissue the game.

i have two pc home. the one freezes on start up with this blue hovering circle over the cursor and the other one goes smooth with no lag or freeze issues. it plays fine. so what someone should think!!! is it really the game???

i tried it but it does not work. the same blue circle around the cursor. if u want to give it a try u have to go where u the game is install (not the shortcut) right click the MP exe and go properties, then-compatibility-and tick the 640×480 and apply. (u might need to run it in windows xp compatibility too) then try to run it. good luck

Simply theyr opinion about us Pc players are like this…
Tupac – They Don't Give A Fuck About Us

This game is very fun, although it lags every 30secs-1min and is fucking anoying. The sp works fine, i get about 90 fps in zombies and the campain but in mp itll

Go from 90 fps – about 10. I havnt playes it 2 day but im hoping tomorow itll be sorted. Btw the people saying that pc gamers should get a console, we think you should get a pc

TREYARCH and STEAM Need to Seriously WAKING-UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UP !

that is not windowed mode just lowest resolution.to get it to windowed mode you have to press alt+enter at the menu of the game.problem is when you are on the menu your keyboard is already not working -_-

When do we get a fix ????????????????????????

any format…..what do you guys actually think about the game????…..personally i think its nowhere near as good as mw2….and truly been hyped up too much!!!!

Same problem here. When I try mutiplayer just a black screen. All other games work. HELP

I load the game and a black screen pops up and there is no sound ether?

i have the same problem that you have. have you found any thing to fix this dumb problem

Could it be lagging cuz i only got 1gb ram?

same, cant do anything

I've got a i7 875k @3.2ghz, 8gb DDR3 Ram and a GTX 470 and the game is unplayable on multiplayer. Lags so bad and I have to put a whole clip into someone then I get killed mid lag with one bullet. This game is crap! I'll be going back to MW2

windowed mode doesn't help at all…i went through the config to see if it would work and it still does the same thing…i am currently having people look at it right now…compatibility and all that doesn't seem to work and everyone here is stumped!

No way, this isn't a server problem, as people with PCs well capable of running "Blag" Ops are having issues even with SP mode, with Steam process set on "low priority" and Steam itself beeing offline. Pure Shit Coding, friend…

Everything is installed and updated, but when i open either multiplayer or single player i can't do anything…the game opens fine and i still can move my mouse but can't use my keyboard or click anything! the windows 7 blue loading circle stays hovering over my cursor even after the game has been started and the only thing i can do is ctrl alt delete and end task as it says black ops is not responding….

SAME HERE, and guess what: THAT'S A COMMON BUG!

Hi.

This game is just horrible… Lot of lag in multi and in solo…

This is a shame to release a game like THIS…
Where are the Beta test ?
Where are the respect to the user ?!?

I want to be refund…

Shame on ACTIVISION, and Treyarch…

Have a nice day from france.

MissClik

i cant get online at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know how to put it windowed withouth starting up cod.. but thats only for single player.. but you don't wanna try that because after 1 second you can only hear the sound and it says
it's not working anymore

Worse for me, I have Netgear Router opend all ports and such but after 1-2 games played Black Ops Messes My "DNS" up so i practicly dont have internet and i must restart Router and go back. Anyone Have a solution for that? Ive tried OpenDNS and such wont work, tried Static IP and other things too.

Just installed the pc version. sp game is indeed unplayable on default (low) settings. Even with shadows off etc. Intel E 8400 dual core 3mhz. Nividia Geforce 465 GTX. Mw2 and World of war play both like a charm in high resolution and detail on my system. Terribly disappointed about this release.

not just pc users are having problems with this btw… its all consoles too.

No It's like me asking you go buy a PS3 if a game on the xbox isnt working but works on the PS3 would you go out and buy it i have a PS3 xbox and a PC but i specifically got it for PC thinking it will be a better community and i feel much more comfortable with a mouse and keyboard why should i have to spend £200 when i've got a machine that i have built myself which plays everygame?

i have the same problem….dunno how to fix it

agree spent 3 hrs downloading – unplayable lag whatever- going back to medal of honour at least that game was playable from day one

I find the lag can be an issue on PS3 but not too often, really is an amazing an balanced game other than 1 thing. They seem to have over nerfed the sniper rifles too hard to use, too many damn hit markers and the maps really dont suit them at all. Iv tried every single one but so far i wonder why they even added them, they are that worthless.

Imm running it on a e6750 @ 3.2ghz ati hd5770 4 gig corsair ram & it runs like shit not even playable even on low settings & now i have a new problem with it no bloody sound!! cheesed right off (

good i dident buy the game by some unespected traveling but i dident give a peace and i got the torentn version and belive me peeps if i dident saw your comments about that freezing lag and fps problems i fast thought to be time to buy a new more power pc damn ..so till they dont bring the patch im gona stay with the online game ..salute all cu on the battlefild,,

PC User…Black Screen…Frozen…Tried 3 times… I'LL Just wait a few days for
fix patch,,Then again servers can't handle the over load..

Yeaaa!…I play on PS3. Haven't got any problems to get connected but there is constant drag and jumps. Really got problems with freezing in sungle player tooooooo!.Who tested this game????????Bloody idiots!!!!

Custom Built Gaming Rig with 32gb ram, 3.5ghz processor and dual gtx480 cards.. 5fps on low graphics.. wtf?

I'm hoping the slow frame rate and lag for multiplayer on the ps3 version happens only because everyone in the world was practically playing at the same time last night. If not, we need a patch to fix it.

dont know muh about p.c version and all techno jargan u lot r talkin about but im on ps3 and believe me we are suffering to my friends…..cant do **** all on mp this is total bulls**t treyarch have really dropped a massive bollock here how can the publishers of one of the biggest franchises in the world rip loyal PAYING fans off with this crap

me too m8ty its fukin bulls**t ifinity ward must be pissin themselves at sh**ty treyarch thought they were really going to give IW a run for there money this time but if they dont sort it sharpish then this game is going in the same direction as w@w str8 back to the shop on trade to hit activision where they just hit me…. in the pocket…..bullsh*T m8

Ive been having a ton of problems with my x box. I can play online, but only one game and my whole system freezes at the end of every game, so i have to reboot my system every time I end a game. I’ve also seen a lot of glitches when ppl die, it sometimes shows them die and skip and they die again. I wasn’t expecting this after all the hype.

In the same boat with the Wii version. The Zombie mode gets a bit old…I've emailed Activision, but haven't heard anything yet.

WTF!!!! I finally got into a game and it lags like shiz… I still can't connect to an online zombie game either. I'm going to start demanding a refund if they don't get this crap fixed!

so secound day of BO been out i put it in my ps3 starting video lags (no shit) i go to multiplayer i get in a game i go to play it takes 3 clips to kill one guy i look at my connection hell 1 red bar i have a wireless connection nat type 2 thats 100% on my ps3 and gaming lap top (i didnt buy it for pc because i knew how bad it was going to be) i can go up and play TF2 on my pc no lag at all but when it comes down to BO online on my ps3 lag to hell so bad it takes 5 sec to reload fix or i want my money back

Black Ops is the Worst Game Ever!!!!! What a huge rip-off and slap in the face for true COD fans. Ouch, I dont know what else to say except DONT BUY THIS GAME.

I cant install the game on my xbox… when i do it freezes…
when i dont i cant play the campaign it freezes when trying to load it…
In multilayer all the maps glitch and i cant see where iam going or shooting or anything!!!!
I Hate that i rushed out to buy this game only for a massive fail!!!!

i have q6600, 6g ddr3 1333 and 2x HD4890…no matter what graphics setup i use, my fps is allways 30-45. those coders must shame, this is terriple!!!

I have a good system 3.2ghz nividia 9800gtx card and the game laggs, it is so bad at times I wish I had not bought this piece of crap for my £40. I got Medal of honor and it plays well and was very good on campaign. BLACK OPS is like a demo for effects with no interesting story worth talking about. Save your money and buy something else, all the hype is not deserved.
Verdict is TERRIBLE.

Brilliant!!, You Are so Right I paid £39.99 and feel was robbed if anything needed a class action this does. These games are a minefield I never heard of Treyarch till I read your comment.
I thought either Steam or Activision were responsible for ripping me off.
I am 67 and these games add a lot of fun too my life.

I am a novice to PC and feel happy when I read your justified comments, I thought it was my PC.
years ago I went to Totterham court road London to enquire about a puter just for games and the price was enormous, so I salute you on building your own.
I think as a previous commentator says there should be a Class ACTION Case of selling faulty goods taken out against STEAM, TREYARCH, and all the swines who have cashed in on our disapointments.
Like you say they knew aqbout the problems but kept mum about it.
Micky.

There are a few people like you commenting that it is no big deal and we should expect problems,
Have you got shares in Treyarch Activision, this company along with Steam are raking in massive amounts of money for a faulty product, if you have a product to sell it is in your interest to make sure it is in good order before you market it, I never heard them say WELL WHEN YOU BUY IT YOU ARE BOUND TO HAVE PROBLEMS TILL WE FIX IT so shut up and pay your £40,
Lots of people like me are not PUTER literate and will be going spare checking this and that, upgrading graphics cards, trying desperatly to buy junk software that claims to sped up our puters, deleting stuff to get more space and speed, when in the end it is Blackops that is at fault not our puters, I run COD4 in single player and multiplayer and its great best game I ever played (WELL HALF LIFE WAS GREAT TOO) and I am 67 now so I have played a lot.So I am very disapointed with this RIPOFF.
Micky.

Same shit for me! WTF. Everything works until I click multiplayer then it's just a black screen and nothing loads. No sound either. FIX THIS SHIT TREYARCH

so its illegal then

You have cheked that no any virus protector programs are blocking your gaming? Try to turn them off and try again.

ps3 I can't even get disc to play, it comes up disc corrupted every time, once I got the game download update and even the first menu.then froze screen ziltch nothing. reinserted disc switched off ect.. disc corrupted unable to start. deleted game data to start again, cleaned up file system in safe mode. started again .other games play but disc cod black ops won't load. disc corrupted. kept trying switching on off. reinserting disc. nothing. tried disc on friends ps3 same problem. any suggestions please.

This is bull! the graphics are no better then MW2 I ran that with no problems I get lag in single player with cod black ops! The only thing that dont lag is zombies it runs fine single player is playable but the little bugs and lags will drive u nuts.My computer is very capable of running this game I want to play online but not gonna screw up my kill death ratio with this lag bulls***.

Agreed.

HELLO!!!

Do you really need 2GB RAM to play Call Of Duty Black Ops????

Cuz I only got 1GB ram does it really matter?

i did, I even changed my antivirus from AVG to avast

PS3…Stuck with a black screen just showing a compass…….BAH!!!!!

i have a HP pavillion.. you guys got the same ?

well i try to load black ops but thne when it says loading at the bottom of the screen and it taakes so long to load the game but it doesnt loadd the game anybody tell me how to fiz that problem

PS3 Version
Twice so far i have played games in multiplayer and ranked up to level 30 and neither game has counted and im still a level 29 whats going on with this, how hard can it be really…. get it sorted

Maybe a class action lawsuit against one of these big gaming companies is what it will take to make them do their jobs and produce products that meet up to gamers standards and wallets.

WTF is with the windows blue circle mouse problem?? It seems to only affect those of us with ATI cards though, most guys with NVIDIAs are able to at least run the game

All the games should be pirated….this is the reason why i restore to pirating games…..when i pay and buy a game the developers !@#$ up the damn game n make a completely unplayable but payable game…..

I can't play the game on my xbox 360 because the screen has gone totally black. The game is still running because I can hear the soundtrack. Anybody else have this problem and if so have you fixed it?
rayhaley(@)gmail.com

i dont have any problems. advise: buy a prober computer

I installed the game perfectly, when i launch it i get stuck at the press any button screen. I can only move the windows 7 loading icon, the golden cursor freezes. When i ctrl+alt+del i see that the game takes like 99% of my cpu usage and my pc has a Intel Quad Core Q9650 @ 3.0Ghz 12 gb!! I've spent 3000 euro on a computer and now 60 euro on the game and it still doen't work??? please help me if you have a solution

My game on X360 was exactly the same, so I have sent it back as faulty!

no…mine is custom built…basically the conclusion me and my tech guys came to is that it is a chipset issue and we just need to sit and wait for the game to be patched…it is brutal and completely ridiculous but what else is there to do?! it seems everyone has tried everything

i have NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 and still have the same problem with the circle and can not do nothing than ctrl alt del to go out of the game.

i do not think is enough maid.

xbox for me is the same, constantly saying 'connection interupted' and it is completely unplayable

what happens when you join a game? is the connection normal? or just lag

Runs great in single player for me, mulltiplayer runs well 50 ping, but after about 10 mins it crashes, i cant see what the reason for the crash is because a black screen covers 3 parts of the error message.
I know all pc's are not the same, in my opinion thats more than enough reason for a beta
very irated user.

I am having the same problem, exact same spot where you push open the door. LAME

i found a video on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YqLA-H0_1g
and someone commented :

finnaly i got mine fixed

ok im not sure what file actually did the trick but ill give you the list so you can try it your self or go ya only this one would need it any way

from the root cod bo folder i deleted localization.txt

then i went to players and deleted config_mp

like i said i am not sure what one of thows 2 did it but when i deleted i had steam validate the files after and re-dl them when it did that i was able to play again without the blue ring thing.

This didn't work for me .. so if someone else has a solution .. plz tell us

the first comment on the video (going into msconfig) blah blah blah worked for me…its running absolutely fine…the problem was that my computer was only utilizing one core of the processor and it couldn't do it…i also delete the config files and the localization files but that alone didn't solve the problem…but yeah…it definitely worked for me so good luck guys! hope it works for you…try what that first comment says!

I have problems too.I played this game on single player 2 days, with all graphics MAX at my PC,and my PC is very good!!!! SO, at the first time the single player was lagging but, after one hour it worked PERFECTLY!!!! then next day, i almost beat the game, and then suddenly, A F******G BLUE SCREEN WITH SOME LETTERS ON IT APPERAS AND THEN ALL THE F*******G PC RETSTARTS…WHAT THE F**K WAS THAT?!?!?!?!?! then i played on multiplayer….MAX graphics…PERFECLY, and then THE F******G BLUE SCREEN APPERAS AGAIN AND RETSTARTS TEH PC…THEN I PLAY IT ON LOW GRAPHICS AND EVERY SERVER IS LAGGING AND THEN HE GET ME TO THE MULTIPLAYER MENU AND SAIS TRY LATER NO CONNECTION OR SOMETHING… i payed 220 RON on it…that means 51 EURO…i want my money back i didnt even beat the game…call of duty world at war is a lot better…OH and at first i wanted to buy medal of honor but i said:"COD is better". and that was it…i hope…I JUST F*****G HOPE THAT MEDAL OF HONOR IS BETTER…please God:)

activision has a 175 million dollar lawsuit from infinity ward for maps and using thei iw 3.1 and 4.0 engine tat they made and is being used for black ops so as far as we getting our money back we better get inline

also i dont understand the lag i got 50 mb down and 5mb up and its awefull, other games run sweet. i froze over 10 times today, cant message anyone or it freezes, cant press the ps button or it takes 2 mins to load. worst piece of poop ive played its cod 4 crossed with waw and few new guns. mw2 owns this game respaw entertainmnet ( infinity ward ) please come save us. guns sound like little firecrackers inside coffee cans, rendering is awefull, lag is terrible,freezing this many times is just not rigth. had to turn off the game, shame on you activision you are a bunch of hacks and thiefs and this game proves it, im sure jason west is laughing his ass off

i cant even start up a game, it freezes when i join a multiplayer server and i cant start singleplayer.. it just crashes.. i hope they gonna fix this soon. Its Killing Me!!

and what is that first comment ? :p

it's my comment.here1. Hit the start button or press windows key + r to get the run command window.

2. Type in MSCONFIG and hit enter. A system configuration window should pop out.

3. Go to the Boot tab.

4. Click on advance settings.

5. Make sure everything in this box is unchecked. (Number of Processors, Maxmium Memory, PCI Lock, Debug etc..)

6. Reboot.

7. Check your task manager and see if you can see 4 cores under the performance tab.
this only works for dual core and higher.i have single core so it sucks for me -_- but i posted it here and on the video.at least some one will get to play now.not me though

Everytime(on xbox) I try to play online I can get into a game fine but then when I get to the choose class screen I get about one second then I can’t connect with the host but what really bothers me is that for the first hour or so it worked perfectly fine. Can anyone help

49 euro's and i tryed everything but i cant play, a waste off money

I HATE IT! i have black ops on PC and all ti does wen i go on multiplayer is freeze after a faulty connection! please sort it out. because every one online is getting it except a mall group!!!

same happens with me you know
its shocking. they say its too many people on game all at once but no. i know thts not right becasuse it freezes. has black screens. connection interuptions left right and centre. cmon treyarc. activithe cod team SORT IT OUT!

100% agree.

Im having problem with FPS either…. all I feel at the moment is dissapointment about the game since it's totally unplayable, cant even do the single player or zombie mod since it says I have problems with my directX which is updates to 9.0c….
hope they'll fix it :S

ok guys there is a lag issue, but to fix most of the lag to to the task manager > processes > blackops and set it to top priority, then set steam to mid. this fixed all of my lag issues. i hope it helps you guys.

sometimes (but more often than not) online when i click L3 to sprint, it automatically throws a grenade and switches from my primary weapon to my secondary weapon. i thought it was a controller issue, but we've got 4 controllers and it happens with every different controller. and it only happens on online multiplayer or 4 player multiplayer. Campaign mode – everything is fine.

Just to let everyone no that we have the same problems on ps3! Lag is bad, joining matches is poor and often results in host migration and being kicked! I even played Team deathmatch with friends and sum how managed to kill all of my friends on my side as the game started! Not even including grathics the game is just poor!!!

I have the same problem, game freezes after the in game video at the start and it seems to me that we have all been ripped off by activision releasing an un-playable game that is not fit for the purpose it was designed for. I will be returning the game to the supplier for a full refund.
What a dissapointment and a sheer rip off.

this f*cking game is the last one i ll ever buy from cod wtf happend my game lags like shit even with my newest computer

I am having problem with it like "connection interrupted" and several little freezings.

What the f*** is wrong with ´Black Ops' for PS3?!? Just about everything: Serious connection problems (here in Denmark too), misserable sound effects…. and what about the contracts which expires when not fulfilled in a limited time? Jesus F****** Christ I'm disappointed!!! Shame on you 'Black Ops for PS3' inventors!!!

I got it for ps3 on launch day and apart from a little disconnection ( once every 5 online games or so) i have no problems at all , runs perfect in Norway

I have problem with the screen turning black and you can only se the yellow mark… I have xbox… the game is running but I can't se!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes buddy, but the steam cloud saves all your game data, and if it can't connect to it – the game thinks there is a problem, and hey presto – you've got pages full of comments.

Thankfully between gamers offering small fixes, and a patch from treyarch – oh and a drop of more than 50% from 300,000 online to a more normal 100-150,000 playing, the steam network letting off some steam – The game is working great for me (other than the odd lag spike)

how is it that it takes half an hour to find a game, when there is a million ppl playing?
good game but disapointed in the online play and thats all i like to play

I can play everything but player matches online but it keeps telling me unable to connect to host?am i banned?activision is horrible!

when i’m playing the game,the characters dont have sound when they speakin but the other sound(like explosions)are available!!!!what should i do?

Question from a 'senior' vet. Campaign ' Crash Site- instructed to walk up wing enter plane
Wood & ? (not Bowman are suppose to be opening WMD creats player takes the China Lake.
I believe I've located box but it's not open nor can i open it. The two dudes with me jump off
wing enter plane and freeze in place. Can someone tell me how to get this launcher? Thank you.

How do I obtain approval from site admins?

I have a ps3 and have the game for 6 days and it freezes after the cutscene with the lady giving the ascendance codes. WTF?

you have to make another profile then switch back to your old one to make it work

dude the wii blackops is so freaking buggy
im suprise to get to level 43 on there
as soon as the match gets on the loading screen the match says at the bottom (awaiting gamestate or syncronizing game settings) and then the loading circles come at the bottom and puts us back to the lobby screen
Or it would freeze my game completely. Even on the campaign it freezes on certain parts.
Or when i try to join my friend when he sends a invite or try to join his party without the invite it would say something like ( he is not online right now at some points). it lets me join sometimes but not all the time.
its not my wii its not my internet cause i went back to cod reflex and cod waw and dont get them problems at all. no lag no freezes and not getting timed out of the game as much. blackops is the problem
They did not test this game on online or campaign at all.
its like they just said "the game is going to be good even with bugs in it so just sell it anyway
They do not do anything for the wii
it is straight bullcrap
i dought ps3 or xbox360 are having these problems
im thinking about taking it back to gamestop

true and funny dude
i hope they fix the problems too

Let's face it, console's have ruined the computer gaminig industry for PC's. It's all about money, one big grab for cash.

I WILL NEVER BUY A COD GAME AGAIN. Modern Warfar 1/COD4 was great. I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN PAST THE MAIN MENU. IT JUST SITS THEIR ON A WINDOWS 7 LOADING CIRCLE AS MY CURSOR. ON XP THE PROGRAM JUST CRASHES OUT TO A DIRECTX ERROR.

I WANT MY $60 BACK!

hey, I downloaded Call of Duty BO about a week ago now and when I started it I saw a lag already (this is first time start) when I looked around in the facility in the start it already lagged anyway when I started plaing thee game HEAVY LAGG very HEAVY LAGG can't even play……….. I don't know wat to do, well atl least the game doesnt crash (single player) but Multiplayer crashes everytime and the game is original and everything, nut I thought it had to do with steam or something I don't know and Im sure my system can handel everything cause it handels all the new pc games thats coming out……. so is there any one that knows what the f**** is going on with treyarch cuz this is a load of BS this game was supposed 2 be awesome and I payed my ass of 4 it and now ths sh*** they better fix this crap quick or Im gonna phone them and fic this myself (does anyone know bout a update?)

I TOTALLY agree with you that is so very true pc gaming isn't what it used to be and we are seen as the piracy hackers and so forth this is bs if somebody does something they should do it right somebody has gotta do something bout this….. we spend so much money on a game and it has unlimited flaws then we have 2 wait months before a good enough update comes out to fix it total f**** BS!

k! I downloaded Black Ops but when I double to play Black Ops it doesn't load and Steam just brings me to the store HELP please???????????

I have problem with mission 6….. when he ask to open the door, I got a black screen, I hear audio but the screen is almost black, I changed resolution but nothing.
need help…thank you

anyone on here get a black out on the screen? the map and green arrow still there but no picture? mine is on ps3…

I have set my graphics back to '96, and in the best of cases it doesnt stutter every time i twist my mouse around. Best of cases I can aim for a head, and make one headshot, if by any luck the guaranteerd lag isn;t there for that millisecond.

It's quite ironic: I was desperatly awaiting BO, to escape MW2 with all the noob cheaters (which ruined that game), only to find myself playing combat training (since it has the least lag), to play once again wallhackers, aimbots…oww what a great dissapointement this is so far.

One of these days people will realise not to pre-order, since nowadays games come out full of bugs, errors and whatnot; oww yeah, and maybe a litte test on the PC would be nice, before you sell a game to thousands of pc users??? Goddamn!

Have found it impossible to play private matches with my mates on the PS3. A couple of us spent about 40 minutes this morning trying to get a private match to connect and nothing worked. Only way around it was to join a public match and hope the others joined the game before it filled up.

Very disappointing. Hopefully this will be fixed very very soon.

my coppy worked fine on pc multiplayer maybe a bit laggy but after steams update yesterday i get into my game then it hangs up.. freezes and the audio is looping. i start task manager to close it and its not responding.. very very frustrating. considering trearch have made millions from gamers like us they better blody fix it.. i suggest we all email trearchs head office complaining they obviously have no balls because on there website its just a whole lot of crap blogs about how good the game is..pah yeah right pull ya head of of your arse trearch

On ps3 version i unlocked fucking scavenger pro. but i dont start with extra clip or resuply my tactical grenade this game sucks balls

It was very hard to get COD Black Ops for PC in very short time. I'm livin in Armenia and it's really hard to get something with license and properly working here, i can't find even original parts for my BMW here, so i was disopointed when something from US, wasn't working. Help me

I have to agree, I play PC exclusively and this game is a resource hog. It plays like its the worst console port in history. In MW2 I didn't have to tweak ANYTHING graphics wise to get a silky smooth gaming experience, but in BO I have to get into the cfg file like I used to do in counter strike 10 years ago and turn all the eye candy off. Really unacceptable in todays day and age. Also the netcode seems to be sub-par. My neighbor who plays on xbox says he gets a glitchy multiplayer experience like I do. Why even bother to release on PC is you're not going to do it right? Beta test at least the multiplayer. I had my doubts when I heard Treyarch was making this one, and now they have become certainties. If this is your A-game Treyarch you're not gonna make it. Gamers usually only get burnt once by a developer.

It certainly isn't as smooth as MW2 and i dont see much improvements over MW2. Steam also should do more about the cheating it's destroying enjoyment of both games. Why arent hackers tagged so we know exactly whos cheating. Hardly a game now without an asshole cheat ruining it . I'll never buy another if Steam dont take us seriously. After a week playing it has refused to play giving me mesage about server too busy. I feel cheated.

Cod black ops is really doin my head in I have it for the wii and every time I play online it crashes my computer I get into a game the gun doesn’t apper and I play for a lil while then the game crashes making a hi pitched sound and I’m unable to turn my wii off by the power button I have to pull the power cable out no problem on single player mode and know it ain’t my wii or Internet connection cuz when I play cod waw it plays fine with no problems activsion need to sort this bad really hacked off that I’ve just been and bought the cod black ops headbanger headset too now and can’t use it waste of f**king money think actvsion have alot to answer for is any1 having same problem on the wii would like to know ?

I'm really pissed off on how ppl kill now in Black Ops, it's so f*cking unbalanced, on time you need to empty your entire f*cking clip into someone and if you don't kill him he just shoot two bullets in your freaking pinky finger and ur dead. It's total bullshit I hope they get some f*cking brains and fix the damn problem.

This really sucks! I play about 15 min. in multiplayer and the game freezes up. I dont know if it's because of STEAM or a problem with the game. I know this much, I feel like I got ripped off right now and I think everyone should get together and file a class action suit. From what I understand there is no fix in the near future!

i've had mine on pc for 5 days with no issues, but it did download a massive chunk from steam before the game was playable…

my fucking black ops always gets frezze i cant play

I am also experiencing this problem. Very frustrating. I will be taking my game back for replacement asap.

Wow… I’m so glad I didn’t go back to GameStop after reserving it a month in advanced to buy it.!! That’s horrible! Ugh so many negative responses. Why the hell did they release black ops like that with so many problems??! What a waste!

Im haveing A error connecting to host problum last night i got in two games after like 20 trys and the two games were uber lagg and help would be mych thanks?????

Can anyone guide me that while playing the LOCAL 4 players, we cannot see the DOTS that represent the other team members. It difficult to find the enemy without the DOTS. PLs can anyone help??

It sucks not being able to quick scope people!!! after playing mw2 for awhile the graphics just arnt that great. Someone needs to rethink all of this and come out with a better game!!!

I have Call of duty black ops on PC. Single player works fine. When i click on Multiplayer it comes up with a black screen as well as an error. Then i message activision and they tell me that i have to go upgrade my computer and a few other things. The problem is not my computer but the game. Then when i tell them i want a refund they try and get me to spend money on the computer.. grr

From Australia

I havent been able to complete a single multiplayer match in 4 days since it disconnects or freezes right before or on the results screen

why cant i play black ops? I can play world at war fine, but it says Error has occured and then it says like, please remove disk, restart wii, look into wii operrrations book for further info, please help me.. and i accdently updated with homebrew on, help me please

I Want my money back, just purchased COD Black Ops few hours ago . i were so excited when i come back home . the game freezes and lags horribly . after i installed it . i can't even play the game . they must make a solution with it ! I want my money back ! .

I've decided to give Call of duty 'black ops' ago since its my first time playing one of the series. bought it brand new DVD PC game went to install it, played the campaign single player mode for about 2 hours into the game on the island called 'rebirth' and the system freezes. I thought maybe just a one off thing. Restarted my computer and played again, this time it froze about 5mins into the game….why. 3 times I tried to restart but still no progress.

My specs computer:
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard
ATI Radeon HD 5900 series 2gb video card
Intel i7 core cpu
12gb ram

overall windows system performance scores are in the 7.5 range, lowest is 7.2 score for the hard disk transfer.

I was in Nuketown playing free for all against my friend, and during the game there were false shootings that showed on the map and it kept on doing it throughout the whole game so I kept on thinking they were shooting from one place, bet they were somewhere else.

I agree with you. My version freez every 30 min of game. I don't notice a big lag but my friends have it. I never like the tryarch's games so i really want a new game by original cod developers. Cause they have not all that proplems….

Yes, I have the same problem. It will freeze up any old time, but mostly on the post game results screen. GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!

That black screen sucks!!!!

Short and simple: COD4 = good, COD MW 2 = horrible, COD BO'S = terrible. Please dont make another game.

black ops is not good on my pc and by mutch others it always freezes and i im destroying my pc at that way i want my money and a talk with the makers

I want my money back. To many issues to list.

Is there a stage in the campaign while in vietnam that the screen is all black and you don't see anything?

Same black screen problem on campaign! cant do anything this SUCKS!

same problem

Same black screen problem on campaign! what can i do?

Its nuts. Myt PS3 crashes one in two online games – isnt fun at all. The thing is, even when its running fine, its not nearly as fun as MW2. I seriously thinknig of trading it in and going back to playing MW2 online.

I am going back to playing Modern Warfare until these issues are fixed. The constant "connection interrupted", "disconnecting almost every game", and the "whole PS3 appliance freezes" in mid-game and I have to power down to regain controller control. terrible, $70.00 dollars online for this shit.

I am playing on XBOX and can't seem to get to play "Core" Games unless I'm invited.. I can play "Barebones" etc. Anyone have a way of fixing this..?

Okay… below is a list of the items that Treyarch need to fix in the recently released Black Ops.

Issues/problems —>
1. Game Lobbies / Friends parties
When the party leader chooses a game mode and enters it, most times (9 out of 10 times) some members of the party are lost (left behind).
2. Waiting for other players issue
This is unfortunately occurring every time after you are successful in moving your complete party into a pre-game lobby. When the lobby fills up and there are enough players to start the game (i.e. 3v3 or 3v4 or 4v4 or 4v5 or 5v5 or 5v6 or 6v6), the game server does not recognise this. I
3. More than 6 players in a team
Occasionally.. the game will start with more than 6 players on the one team.
4. Backing out to the home screen (front menu)
Occasionally, the game forces you to back out to the first screen (main screen). The issue is… that most times the game then forces you to go through the initial set up procedure again.
5. Server/Transmission time outs
During a game.. the error occurs and you can find your self back in the pre-game lobby
6. Host migration failures
For 40% of the time, the game server decides not to migrate and everyone gets a loss. There is no reason for the game not to migrate… even if all the remaining players are poor hosts. The game MUST choose a new host and continue.
7. 2nd half and Overtime start issues
Basically, at the start of a 2nd half Objective's game (in this case CTF) or at he start of overtime.. many of the payers do not re-start IN the game, i.e. within the map. The players instead get a radar of the map come up on their screen, their screen is in black and white, the sound works but the player can not spawn, can not pick a weapon and can not participate in the game.
8. Ability to kick players
When in the create-party Lobby… the party leader does not have the ability to kick some players.
9. Leave with Party
Isn't always highlighted as an option AFTER a game has already completed and you are waiting in the pre-game lobby for the next one to start.
10. Keeping a party together
It takes an extreme amount of time to create a party, then successfully deploy all of them into a pre-game lobby, then luck comes in to keep them all together.
11. Headset/Microphone display/identification
Unfortunately, the headset/microphone programming is broken.
12. Checkered screen issue
There appears to be a dreaded checkered screen which many of us are experiencing after being kicked out of a multi-player pre-game lobby.
13. Freeze when loading. Restart PS3
About 8% of the time.. when starting a new game (new map) in multi-player, two or more players will have a continuous game loading screen. The other players will start the game and the two missing players can hear them talk and play… but eventually it goes quiet and the game never loads. To get out of the problem, the player needs to quit the Black Ops game entirely which then forces a complete shutdown of the PS3 system.
14. Host selection – upload speed priority is an issue
There is an issue with the host selection logic in that the game server seems to pick a host who has the fastest upload speed. Normally, this would be a wise choice however, with many players now using 'Wireless off the street' broadband, this is an issue. This is because, wireless broadband for many many users, gives them a very fast upload speed but a very slow (compared to other broadband solutions) download speed.
15. Locale only
Choosing 'Locale Only' does not work all the time in that many games which are started after choosing 'Locale Only' in the party lobby, end up with hosts which are obviously not local.
16. Muting players
Occasionally, in the Pre-game lobby… after muting a player.. you can still hear them.
17. Disappearing Care Packs
On many maps (Radiation, Launch, Grid for example) there are places on the map where a care pack will go through the ground and become inaccessible.
18. Invite screen
a) Many times, you often end up inviting the wrong friend in your invite area because the 'cursor highlight' is not strong/distinct enough.
19. 'Best Win Streak'
This is coded incorrectly in the 'Combat Record' main screen. It shows the CURRENT win streak.

Ok.. that's it for my first post on Black Ops.

same shit to me just wait like 1-2 min and it will start the game, but when you want to end the game in unfinished mission it wont save the check point and you need to re-do the whole mission, so u better play mission by mission if u don't wanna replay same shit. hope i helped
if you have more problems e-mail me: bukka96@gmail.com

I have been very patient with cod black ops but now im getting rather sick… why cant treyarch just sort this game out. playing online is ridiculous the amount of times I have been kicked out of live games or the game has crashed and froze. this is getting out of hand now and needs sorting asap. total waste of time and money.

Same thing here. I tried a couple of fixes mentioned through google searches, none worked.

Seriously?? No way, I only have the GTS 450 and it runs like a dream for me. Running on full with no skips or anything.

Specs:
i7 quad core 2.9ghz
Nvidia GTS 450
8GB RAM.

Maybe it's a RAM issue. It's says you need 2, but I think that's a bit low for a game of this nature. What is your RAM??

When i play Campaign people have black bodies and white skin….and the background is all black and reflects so its hard to see anything

XBox, single player locks up on me. never went on line. Don't know what to do.

when hudson punch mason the game hang,how do i fix this?

I have the same problem and am stuck. I am playing on xbox. I used to play on PC and hadn't played a computer game for 5 years. This xmas I bought an xbox and Call of Duty as the game. So.. I was asked to open door and then I get black screen. I follow the arrows. It gives me 15m to run. I run and then it jumps to 7m and so on but it stays on a black screen. Seems something is wrong….

I have a quad core machine, 3gb ram, Nvidia 8600gs the game plays like a bag of crap. Every damm time it seems that the PC gamer gets the S*** end of the stick. Something must be done about this.

I would actually PAY someone to take black ops off my hand, this is totally ridiculous! Host Migration takes 20 minutes, it took me 35 minutes to get into a game, it constantly freezes my playstation to the extent that i had to unplug it from my socket then plug it in again, host advantage is LUDICROUS! if you are host you have won, period. I can NOT justify buying this game, the single player took a mere 6 hours!. Treyarch have failed, to the extent that it will take "a hell of" a game from the call of duty series for me to ever start to consider buying it.

AND now they want to release a map pack with 4 measly maps and a zombie map pack that's going to cost as much as a whole add on for bad company? I REFUSE! to buy this map pack!! This has to be THE worst on-line experience I have EVER had, and I have been playing on-line since the original Unreal Series. Disgraceful!

Same problem here as well. Any fix for this?

Call of Duty:Black ops still laggs on the PC Version.Let alone that we can't connect with our friends easily .neither combat training nor online zombies with them..we send them invite and they cant login .we try to login on them but still the same.no matter how hard some guys tr to say that this is a problem of our modem ,the problem is from Treyarch

I have been told it has something to do with the "strict" setting on multiplayer menu, however you cant change it !!!. Treyarch have made a bundle and sold everyone a pup. Is there a way of boycotting the map pack so Treyarch know they cant do this to the public and get away with it.

Call Of Duty Black Ops Fix Your Loss Of Condition And Freezing Problem!! http://bit.ly/h9mmPY

We´ve got the WII-version which doesn´t want to work in the MP mode. All other games work well, but this does not!!! The store (Elgiganten) tells us to get in touch with Activision…What a responsible and helpful store! D:

This is just the same problem as we have!! I am so upset!!! All other MP games work well, but not call od duty black ops!!! It´s shit when you pay so much for a game and when it doesn´t work.

on ps3 Multi player seems to be a bit off, i can empty my gun to kill one person but i get killed with a single shot, also game worked fine since november, just started freezing up and getting jerky and now i put the disc in, i press play and all i get is a blank screen and repeating sound, now unable to use, disc is like new with no marks on it

I have had no problems with loading, only a little lag here and there……the only issue I have is the in zombies my rounds are going down…when I look at my stats I was on round 37 and now its showing 19. I just dont get it..does anybody else?

I took the plunge and bought this turd 3 days ago, the single player is flawless, however, the MP has not managed to contact the server once, I haven't even been able to play online. World at war was pants and I refused to buy it as I love cod 4 and infinity ward did an awesome job. I haven't been surprised, the game is glitchy and for some reason they STILL decided to go for the console port and neglect private servers. This is pathetic, we may not be numerous but the PC gaming market is the most advanced that there is and gradually we've watched more and more companies who were made popular by our contributions turn their backs on us. I'm getting sick of it, poor coding, poor standards and even worse multiplayer.

This is exactly what happened to the music industry, every last shred of originality and ambition disappeared and we got left with CRAPPY electronic noise instead of real musicianship, the real game artists are gone, the only company remaining are valve in my eyes and even they helped mac become gaming machines when apple themselves neglected this field for years and boasted being the best.

I've had enough, I have 10 times more games than most xbox or ps owners and have given far more money to the industry yet they continue to ignore us as a market.

Bored of paying to be given shitty console ports, it's much easier the other way around and if they actually took the time instead of releasing prematurely only to hide behind online purchases.

All I get is server unavailable. Honestly, how many of you actually bought the game for single player? I got it for MP and that the thing that doesn't work. I feel robbed and insulted.
