It is a typo. Put a game in your cart and it will tell you how much promotion is being applied without you having to buy anything. I put Goldeneye in my cart and at the "place your order screen it has a $20 promotion applied.

Looks like the "fix" may be to just have more than two CPU cores. There's a reason I've been pushing people towards quads for several years now.

Another question about Amazon shipping. I checked my tracking number for Black Ops and it said this:
"Amazon.com requested package to be forwarded to a different address"
What the fuck does this mean? The destination still says my hometown though.

No, just the main option to play online.DenogginizerOS said:
I play a ton of fps, its not game breaking in anyway. It'll be clearer in a week or so if it truely is launch lag. But I dont see a problem, I was playign like nothing and some maps never showed lag, ping was all over the place for ones that had framerate problems. I enjoyed it and had no problems outside early lag(bad/warp like) and than party invite problems.

Interesting that you mention the i7 actually. The game may be offloading a heavy thread to a hyper thread. So traditional quad and triple core users would be the only ones without an issue, that could easily be patched though. Could be the source of the bug.
Its using my CPU at 80% and GPU at like 30%! This is Bad Company 2 all over again. What the hell. Just straight 360 -> PC port. Needs high CPU but low RAM and low GPU, just like consoles.

You better be getting the fucking 360 version. Straight dong time.
Multiplayer is pretty decent. Zombies isn't as great as I had hoped for. Haven't played any of the single player yet. Not the best looking game on the 360 by far (No troll). I'm sure it looks awesome on a great PC. Got to put a lot more time into this to get a feel for the game over all. Seems like a lot of content though.

There were people that "didn't notice" the game breaking framerate in Castlevania as well. If there's multiple reports of framerate issues you can be assured that its worse than previous COD games. How much worse, you won't know until DF does their analysis.
You can be assured that the framerate will still be better than most console shooters, just don't expect it to stick around 60fps all the time.

So, I haven't had time to really read into all of the reviews yet. I ordered the PS3 version, and from the sounds of some of the complaints in here, PS3 version plays worst due to frame rates. Any actual numbers? I'm going to return this if they're screwing over PS3 users. I'm already disappointed to read that they didn't fix the sp at all. When is vet mode going to quit being a crapfest and just be a difficult but rewarding experience?
What's Gaf's overall framerate opinion on the PS3 version?

If you add a game to your cart, and proceed to checkout (don't click purchase) you can see on the right the amount of tax and credits applied to the purchases, mine says $20 credit applied. My email said the same as yours, so its just a typo.
Edit: already beaten, oh well.

This information is useless without specifying what CPU you have.
If you're still on a dual core CPU then it doesn't mean much.
I guess so.brain_stew said:
What's making my "angry" is that I actually have a 360 and a PS3, but I'm getting the game for the PS3 because all my friends here only have the PS3 (I live in Japan and you know just how popular the 360 is over here.. and if I wanted to play with friends from the US the lag would be pretty bad).

Athlon X2 7750 2-7GHZ.
And yes dual-core. And I run MW2, WaW, Dragon Age, BFBC2 better than this. There is something wrong with the PC version. The CPU is being maxed out so the GPU is not getting data fast enough, its insane.

It seems its worse than the PS3 version of MW2, that's about all you're going to be able to get at this point. Fwiw, the 360 version seems to perform worse than MW2 on 360 as well but the PS3 always performed worse which is probably why people are noticing it more in that version.

The fact they included Zork as an easter egg is very cool.
Tendo said:
No spec ops mode.. no co-op campaign mode.
We do have Nazi Zombies which is all co-op and a new very impressive Combat Training area where you and your friends can play MP matches against bots. It is very unique in that you level up just like online but it stays in Combat Training and a very neat aspect to this is the bots show up as friends off your very own friends list which really is a cool idea. But this mode is nearly endless and going to be a ton of fun for those who want to try tactics on maps and test out weapons so they do not waste their money earned in online MP.

If a dual core isn't enough to run the menu's at 800x600 then there is something majorly wrong. I can run BC2 at 720p with med/low settings on a 2Ghz C2D so there is no way this is a too low a spec issue unless they really messed up the port.brain_stew said:
There are only 2 games that have been unplayable on a 2Ghz C2D so far - SR2 and GTA4 - there is no good reason for COD:BO to join that list.
Besides the intermittent stuttering sounds more like a throttling issue than a maxed out issue, where you would expect to see a consistently low framerate.

It is almost like we need a seperate Black Ops performance thread.
I would like to read more about gameplay impressions, not all this technical speak.
I would like to read more about gameplay impressions, not all this technical speak.
I'm running a:
core i7 920 @ 2.67
GTX 460 1GB
6 Gb of ram
the game looks fantastic, however (and that's a big fucking however), the game skips at times. also, my mouse doesn't move as smoothly as it should (logitech g9x). Playing CS:S, the mouse is fine, but with Black Ops it is almost as if the mouse has to move along a grid and jumps too quickly.
