Official Call of Duty: Black Ops PC multiplayer thread

anyone have positive feedback on mp experience?
Itching to pick up a copy but want to make sure everything sorts itself out. Which I am pretty positive it will, I just don't want any negative first experiences.

I don't remember this with BC2, maybe just bad memory on my part.

/Also awaiting Brink and thats a SMART move.

/ON TOPIC

I was seriously considering getting this, then I decided to wait and see how things went.

Glad I waited. Maybe when all the issues are more or less solved I could possibly buy and play with less frustration than you guys have now.
 
Well, since I couldn't join an online game to save my life I decided to try the Combat Training thingy. To try and get the basic idea and check out the maps. I like the idea of buying your weapons/attachments/etc and the maps don't look too bad.

With Combat training they basically pit you against bots. You just basically choose the difficulty level and go. What's funny is that the game gets the bot names from your friends list. So I was getting owned the whole time by this guy called Plassie......... it seems Black Ops isn't balanced for him either. :rolleyes:

Anyways, hopefully I'll be able to play tonight. :(

It's not only on the Dedi servers.

For example. While waiting for them to fix it so that we could even just SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the servers in the browser, we tried to play some zombies. As soon as you get in the zombie lobby, even the menu lags, but so bad, took me over a minute just to click on "accept invite" . and that is in P2P mode :|

BC2 was worse. Server browser was fsked, hit reg was non-existent, wag was a constant issue.

Did your read the Brink Preview in The Gamer?

On-Topic. I hope the the PC guyz sake they sort this out so you guyz can enjoy the game you have all been salavating over the last few months but it has just shown me again that I am done with PC gaming.

Bru daai is KAK. Sloppy sloppy coding.

Ek weet almal like nie consoles nie maar ek, wat baie ly is, is mal oor a mp system was net werk, niks tweak, niks sukkle net speel.
 
i never had issues with BC2. server browser was a bit naff in the start but now it works great.

as for Bops. avoiding even more now

WTF - thats bullshit dude. I mean if anybody on this forum would look past issues in a CoD game, it would be you. The fact that you totally don't sound amped is concerning.
 
CoD:BO sv_maxrate 25000?
Written by Jock
Tuesday, 09 November 2010
Laaaaag.

Just spoke with Alex G., he seems to indicate that the source of the lag might be with the GamerServer server config.

Issue is with the sv_maxrate, currently on all servers it is set to 5000 (because of consoles I would assume) it should be set to around 25000 for PC.

Therefore most pc users are finding a poor online expierience.

I have been on with gameservers all day and their tech team.

We tested the different rate on our server as a fix (via the tech team) and guess what, absolutely perfect.

Our server has actually just been changed back, of course they can't edit the servers, They have submitted a request to whitelist the command sv_maxrate for all users to activision to be able to edit to what they desire. (They didn't want to set all servers to it by default because they believe people will have bandwidth issues).

Just so you know they have limited results in the in game server browser to a few hundred servers to stop it overloading. Leaving most people unable to find their own servers!

Also don't know if you know yet but there it no connect/reconnect and similar commands in the game and the addfavourite command does not work.

Hope this is useful and details enough :)

EPIC WIN :D :D

Must say I had a fantastic first round. my first round playingthe game Finished 44 for 5.
After that the lag just got too much. was so bad at one stage, that I could LITERALLY only start playing about 3 minutes into the game :|

I don't remember a problem with the server browser, rather there were too few servers for everyone trying to get on.

On Brink I like the idea of squad commander to balance gameplay.

On fixing COD I'm sure they'll do it, it is a huge franchise after all.

Look in all honesty. The game itself is WIN. It's fun, I like the contract system, the maps are well designed and full of life and ambience (launching rockets, trains comming past, opening doors and sections) Most of the maps are VERY open meaning lots of paths to flank etc. The weapons and unlocks are sweet. The game is WIN WIN, and its going to be very awesome once the issues are sorted. But on the flipside, I can't see how a game could have been released with so many issues tied to it, ATM the problems and issues outweigh the awesomeness by a long shot.

I agree. what an awesome game. There are a few problems but i can overlook them for now. I have no doubt that it will be quick if the problem is not that big. I think that there are just a few tweaks needed.

No doubt it's a cool game, but I'd rather hold off until said tweaks have been corrected. Totally not in the mood for a CoD slideshow at this point.

I would not call it a slideshow. It is playable for me and i am playing on Vodacom 3G. It also depends if you are talking about the lag or the FPS?
 
I was lucky enough to play a couple rounds last night with Plassie. For the most part I was getting really annoyed, it seemed that everytime I shot at someone my ping was jumping to 500+. Other rounds it was perfect and I was really enjoying it. This game is definately made of win but they need to fix the online lagging issues
 
ja dude on GRID when you were using the flamethrower in that Demolition match in that top building. As soon as you start spraying those flames, it just turns into a powerpoint presentation. Slide..............wait 10 seconds..............slide.............

The lag - in which case slideshow probably wasn't the correct terminology. Maybe "timewarp" :p

Damn shame about all these issues. I got my copy sitting on my desk staring me down right now. Will just have to see for myself tonight when I get home how badly the issues affect me. Hopefully a patch is in order soon.

lol yeah i did that because I knew if i lagged it would still get you guys at some point. I was getting bleak with the lag... i enjoyed that map actually. But i swear i played that Jungle map about 8 times last night. Really not a fan of it. Maybe it'll be better when the game runs how its supposed to.
