K.os Theory Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It's pretty cool picking up someone elses customized gun in the field, with it's clan tag still down the barrel and a pink heart shaped reticule.. [/size][/font] the best one i've seen so far is a RDS like the predator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espylacopa Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Anyone else having problems with connecting to multiplayer games? I'm lucky to get 1 full match over half an hour, what with the 10 minutes spent waiting in the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is fine on the 360... i wouldn't say it's fine, i find if you play anything other than TDM you can spend a long time in the lobby with many changes in group numbers as it trys to match people up , but when your in a game you are normally safe for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatdamaged Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I started playing it on the PC last night (single player only) So far I am really disappointed, it’s nowhere near as good fun as MW2 and the level design is SO restrictive as to where you can go, you can’t even stray off course the slightest bit without hitting an invisible wall. The scenes where you have to ride the bike and shoot requires no aiming whatsoever, it just auto targets the other bikes with the shotgun Performance is very poor as well, I’m getting only 55 fps at 1920x1200 with 8xAA which ran much smoother on MW2. Given that the game engine looks exactly the same, I’m not sure where the poor performance is coming from. Game also suffers from a bit of lag too, and the weapons feel dreadful. I am hoping multiplayer is MUCH better than this. Very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problems I've had are trying to get into a lobby with a party, it sometimes works with four people but any more than that and not a chance. On a side note, fixes Treyarch have made live 11/5 - Villa: User can clip into rock at west edge of grid zone B2 and see through to the other side - Crisis: User can clip into LVT between grid zone A3 and B3 and see through to the other side - User can get an infinite number of 'Sam Turret', 'Care Package' and 'Sentry Gun' killstreaks (commonly referred to as the “care package glitch”) 11/9 - Radar sweep when there are only 2 players left in One in the Chamber will stop functioning if the 2 players have multiple lives when the sweep starts - Crash when viewing content (films, clips, etc) in the Community & Recent Games menu 11/10 - Users’ rank and stats can get wiped under very specific conditions 11/11 - Online number counts were not updating properly; these are now reporting exact online numbers - Parties getting disbanded when host did not find a match quickly 11/12 - Launch: User could access a small platform outside of the intended play space below the rocket gantry by jumping to a very specific location; now blocked from access - Launch: User could access a small area inside geometry at vents near Dom flag A by going prone and moving around in a very specific location; now blocked from access - Some users reported that weapon attachment challenges were not resetting after prestige; now all are guaranteed to clear as soon as selecting the prestige option Fixes in progress - Improved matchmaking to find matches faster - Improved match and host selection; will result in much better networking conditions for all games (a.k.a., decreased lag) - Weekly and Monthly leaderboards stats reporting incorrectly for kills, deaths and assists (All Time leaderboard not affected by this) - Additional improvements to party system · Improved matchmaking to find matches significantly faster · Improved matchmaking to ensure that players are more effectively matched to games with the best networking conditions · Improved host selection to ensure that the best host is always selected in the pre-game lobby · Improved party system to ensure that parties don’t get broken apart · Disable ability to join Private Match, Combat Training and Theater lobbies when searching for Player Match games · Server-side and game-side changes to decrease the amount of failed Film uploads · Weekly and Monthly leaderboards will now track all kills, deaths and assists properly (All Time leaderboards were not affected by this) · Prevention of Combat Training stats getting crossed with Player Match stats under rare conditions · Prevention of killstreak selection getting disabled in Combat Training under rare conditions · Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions · Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions · Prevention of temporary loss of functionality when a button was being held down at the point of a disconnect · Additional fine-tuning of audio levels and ranges for footsteps and gunfire · Additional fine-tuning of audio levels for bomb plants/defuses · Additional online security enhancements · Array: Added collision to prevent players from partially clipping into a tree · Launch: Added collision to prevent players from strafe jumping onto an invisible ledge at the base of the rocket near B3 · Summit: Added collision to prevent players from jumping to a location outside of the map boundary when in Custom Games where player speed is maxed out · Havana: Added collision to prevent players from jumping onto an invisible ledge above a doorway at C2 · Nuketown: Adjusted a spawn point that would spawn players on top of a mannequin’s head when that mannequin was randomly spawned in that location · Disable ability to vote for a previous map twice in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on 360 too, I've been having a little more luck connecting to TDM recently, but Wager matches and Ground War are out of the question. I make it as far as the lobby, then I go through the whole; finding game > xx games found > connecting... > return to lobby > Black Ops server is down, etc etc. Could be a network problem I guess.

I'm on 360 and haven't had any problems whatsever, i'm mainly playing HQ matches at the minute so don't know if that's possibly a factor? Tried the zombie mode last nite with a mate, you really need 4 players to get anwhere don't you...think we managed upto round 7 before being overrun! Brilliant Fun!

Cret Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Well I got it last night and so far I quite like it. The graphics are noticeably worse than MW/MW2, notably edges go jaggedy when panning with the look control which is a bit poor but it's still not bad. Respawning is a pain (like WaW) as it tends to respawn right by where you died so it's easy to get whacked several times in quick succession if you're unlucky/careless. Only saw the dogs once in about 3 hours last night. Happy with that. I kind of like the cash/cod points thing. Not getting many though - I'm not sure how the correlation between cash/XP points/kills etc works since I've had games where i get lots of kills but hardly any $ for it. How does that work?

Cod $ per match is 10% of XP earned in that game. Dont know if there are any boosts to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Ah ok, cheers. For some reason I was sure I'd seen it more up & down than being a straight percentage but I must have imagined it! I shall go off shortly and try to earn some more then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall go off shortly and try to earn some more then. I think your right. I'd just came top of a winning team in TDM and XP was much higher and than Cod $. Every other time, it seems to be 10%. Would have thought it would have been the other way round for a bonus, bah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 There's a good video on you tube of someone doing the Cuban level on hard and showing how you don't actually have a fire your gun once, just follow your team mates through the level ... Very poor game design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
