jeffgerstmann Wow, you need 12 AA batteries to run the Black Ops RC car. That's a bit much.

It's far worse in this game and obviously so. Why? Cause this game lags to keep up with the action. The more they keep pushing the barrier in terms of performance with this game the more lag you're gonna get. Treyarch shoulda got the hint that their code wasn't optimal when they had to start implementing a loading screen in places that COD on consoles never needed before.

I have spent soo many cod points on trying out different shapes to use the for the sights. Think I've almost settled on one and green is the best color I've found.
EDIT - also how come when I want to GIVE away care packages (last challenge section I need done for hardline pro) the only people there to take them are the opposing team? MW2 almost wished I could shoot my own team for so blatantly trying to take your care packages but this? No one seems to try except for the bad guys.

Black Ops looks like shit.
Quake 3 called. They want their engines back.
It's almost 2011 and they're still using an engine produced a decade ago. Get with the fucking times Treyarch/Activision.
Heck, even MW2 looks better in almost every department (yes, I'm aware it's Q3 based but at least they did a lot more work to it). Visually, Black Ops looks like a massive step down.

Couple other observations. Not so sure I'm feeling the claymores in this anymore, I don't really ever feel like moving it much and only one per life kind of sucks. Also, the nerve gas or whatever that stuff is that damages over time is kinda weak also, flashbangs still seem like the best tactical grenade.

wow, is this game like ridiculously ugly or is it just me. Playing on 360.

I decided "Fuck it" and went and bought the game from Wal-Mart. My copy from Amazon is still on the way, but I doubt it'll be here till next week, so I decided to give that copy to my friend for a Christmas gift.
I've played a few hours of the SP. So fucking cool. I got the PS3 version, but I didn't notice any real bad stuff (with one exception, after calling for air support and reloading my weapon, the game stuttered and showed like... 4 frames in three seconds. That was so bizarre. But one time only thus far). The storyline is really cool, I'm digging it. I like all the VA, even Worthington's strange Australian/American voice :lol
The Prison Break level was so cool. Oh, and I totally called that
I feel pretty vindicated. Gonna keep playing the SP later, I wanna sort of stretch it out.
But I'm really liking it. Best SP from a CoD game yet. I appreciate the tighter story and speaking protagonist.

:lol Probably just that game I was playing.
EDIT - another observation, ninja does not seem like a very helpful perk this time around. Might have to try steady aim since in panic moments I just hip fire anyway.
EDIT 2 - steady aim is tier 2 perk this time, disregard.

In the middle of a mission, and this pops up. Hitting A returned me to the title screen.

What's the difference between a red dot and a reflex? Looks the same to me.

Playing on PC with 360 controller? If not then that's absolutely hilarious, asking you to check the console for details on an xbox 360. :lol

I'm still trying to figure out what Assault Rifle I want to use, but I can see myself using these perks the most, with a few modifications here and there based on game mode.
One thing that annoys me that I noticed is that the typical assault rifle class that I create I always renamed "Assault", but Black Ops is the first CoD game since CoD4 that won't let me use it because the word "ass" is in the name. -_-;
Also, I'm starting to understand what you meant by seeming to get the drop on someone in a gun fight and still losing. It's happened to me way more in this compared to past games. Maybe it's all the server load.
FYI the 360 player counts aren't accurate. I posted this several pages ago but it got bottom page'd and no one noticed.
Last fall MS announced that the record for concurrent users on ALL of XBL had surpassed 2M. So there is no way Blops alone has 1.5x the number of concurrent users that ALL of XBL had when MW2 dropped.
I don't really know what the Blops figure IS supposed to represent, though. Probably players online in a specific period (a few hours maybe?).

I've just had a really wierd problem on 360:
The game just started running at between 10-30 fps for no good reason at all when playing in multiplayer. The stutters seemed to occur in exact unison with the disc whirring in the drive. Very odd.

By the way, what's that one attachment where the red dot has a glow around it? How do I get that?

Haven't played the single player, but yes it does look somewhat worse than MW2 & even WAW.
Which is impossible to comprehend as it's the same god damn engine they been using for years with sub HD rez on the consoles & they can't make ANY improvements AT ALL?

No, I'm mistaken by what you meant. You're right, but I guess you don't know how Console errors can get kicked back through a dev kit and dev kit consoles have command line consoles just like a pc console.
Obviously, this kind of error is not one meant to be seen by a player but by a tester. Tester finds bug. Tester duplicates and finds info through console and kicks that back to the programmer.

Has Treyarch said anything about having online stats tracking like they did with WOW? I think that's the one thing Bungie has always outclassed COD at.

No, it's like a red dot sight but instead of a red dot, it has a holographic blue glow.FTWer said:
Which attachement is this? Is it the infrared scope?

All of them actually. Any game that requires you to turn it up to the hardest difficulty just to see the AI do something other than run in circles has bad AI, IMO. Then again, I'm a troll and the people coming in here shitting all over this game are not. #differentstrokesNullPointer said:
