Not seeing the performance problems everyone else is. I have it on 1920x1200, 16xAA 16xAF, maximum detail settings and it's smooth as butter. Not even one performance hiccup during the most intense firefights.

It's definitely MW2 otherwise it wouldn't have all those killstreak perks for multiplayer + guns.

The addition of texture streaming, says to me it at least shares parts of MW2's engine. Treyarch wouldn't have redone all that work themselves.

Uh, not necessarily no, an engine can be upgraded to fit those features in. If you go by that knowledge then it couldn't be MW2 as it has a 4 player zombie co-op!!!

OMG, this really is gonna be bigger than MW2. The most I ever saw online in MW2 on 360 was just over a million last Veteran's Day (the day after release). Could we see 2 million online this Thursday?

Hasn't each Infinity Ward basically code a newer part of the engine? From what it looks, the engine is evolved with each IW iteration.

The 4 player zombie could be borrowed from WaW as it does play those classic maps.

The multiplayer engine looks like a separate entity and borrowed directly from MW2.

I thought a lot of people would stick with MW2, but after seeing 1.5 million on XBL playing right now - not so sure about that.

this isn't exclusive to CoD. Just wait for the 'jump outside the map' glitches in Gears 3 on day one.

I was being (un)funny. My point was, posting a response to a decommissioned web forum unreadable to anyone on earth does not qualify as a satisfactory official acknowledgement in this customer's opinion. Release a quote or pr to game sites, or put it up on JD's twitter even, assuming activation doesn't take twitter down too..

And yes I know, their forum is not permanently offline, just temporarily. I think if Acticision could shut down youtube, GAF, and anywhere else they're getting bad press they would.

Actually, they aren't using the MW2 engine, but rather modified the one used in WaW.

Interesting, wonder why they wouldn't/couldn't use the MW2 engine? I thought Activision basically owned the tech?

Maybe because IW was in the middle of the development of MW2 when Treyarch started working on this game, and when the MW2 version of the engine was ready, it would have been too late to implement it? Just a guess, anyway.

Woo! I had the luckiest break ever at work - as the day went on, I started really regretting that I didn't take any time off. Then our servers went down and our admin is away, so my boss came up to me and apologized for the inconvenience but could I please take a few days off while they fix it. Hell yeah I can! :D

I dove straight into multiplayer. Fucking loving it so far. My favorite things so far is the sound of the guns, and the new damage marker sound. So awesome!

Not feeling the RC-XD at all. It needs a patch pretty ASAP. :/

COD3 performed worse than COD2. W@W performed worse than COD4 and MW2 performed worse than COD4.

As they pile on the effects (and as Treyarch get involved) the framerate always seems to suffer in COD games. I was always expecting a worse framerate, just not a significantly worse framerate.

COd2 performed like shit on the Xbox 360, there is no way COD3 performed worse than COD2. If you meant PC, then say that and dont be misleading.

Picked it up today, enjoying it quite a bit. Although I just discovered my least favorite map: Hanoi. It's like a world at war map that was so awful they left it out of the game and DLC but put it in this game to have another map :lol

The COD engine is a modified Quake 3 engine.

An online friend of mine just got his Steam account banned, after he applied the German to English patch/hack (also known as the Russian to English patch/hack) to his german version of the game. Take this as a rumor, but you better don't apply that to your game until things clear out.

On a side note, another rumor making it's round: Steam is going to ban austrian (AT) version of the game for people playing this version based in Germany.

The Black Ops site sucks. I try to log in and it's an infinite loop of logging in to be brought to the register page to complete some information to get the same error all over again.

So I create a new account and log in and it takes me to a blank "create account" page. WTF.

Yes I know that.

Are you saying you can put Call of Duty 2 original engine + the perks system simply with copy and paste?

That doesn't sound like it'll work as there are other elements that are added+modified creating a different beast.

Guess what, all games have glitches especially when they're first released. Hard to believe, I know. I don't think you should start talking shit until we know if Treyarch is going to fix this in a timely manner or not. The aforementioned IW wasn't too keen on fixing glitches in a timely manner.

Gotcha, thanks.

kinda crazy how many people are playing at the moment. Took me a second to realize I was looking at a seven digit player count as opposed to six.

Just started playing on pc. 1080p all settings maxed out with 16xAA v-sync and triple buffering and getting a rock solid 60fps. It looks mighty fine with no performance issues at all.

When I accidentally lowered textures to low, my fps was madly fluctuating, why? :lol

I'm on i7@4.0 GTX 480.

I think what you are thinking of is a gameplay system. The engine is simply how the graphics are rendered out.

It would be possible for someone to go back and add the perks system to COD2.

My main complaint after playing for a couple of hours. The guns are very underpowered. I didn't play much hardcore in MW2 but I look forward to it in black ops.

"Split Screen Online Multiplayer
While the exact number of supported players is not yet known, Black Ops will allow multiple players on the same console to play online."

was this confirmed ? and will it be on the ps3 too or is it just a 360 feature ?

PS3 version if gimped also online, fps drops galore and hit detection is horrible. WTF is this shit, MW2 had some connection issues when first released but damn this game is just plain out bad all around so far. I really hope they can fix this.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying SP campaign. Although I pity anyone that thinks playing it on Veteran is a good idea. People need to learn that these games are not balanced for difficulty.
