Downloading now. Going for the SP first, as i always do.

yeah i did that too... im at 10th mission out of 15... liking it so far... theres an zombie crack out on the torrents so you can play solo zombies... tried that... me like it xD

The zombie map sucked... It's way too big.

WaW, those first 2 zombie maps are the best, it started going downhill after that.


Also just a tip, don't barrel roll from a balcony, I did that and fell to my death which is funny as fuck when I look at it again

this helps to minimize the lags:

demo_enabled 0

cl_allowdownload 0

it is 90% better then before

the grafic-spikes are still there

These seems to have improved it for me too Not perfect, but noticeable improvement.

I saw that before .

I've hit rank 29 so far, and this is what I've noticed.

The snipers and pistols are all underpowered (currently using ballistic knives since they are better than pistols, and will probably use the crossbow when I hit 33)
The Famas is amazingly overpowered (2.73 kdr after 173 kills with it so far )
Basically, anything that's automatic is mediocre/good, and everything else is shit
There are only two perks per tier that I find useful enough for myself (Ghost or Scavenger, Sleight of hand or Hardened, Ninja or marathon).
The lag is fucking annoying. I literally joined a server and had 50 ping, and after playing for 10 minutes, it just randomly shot up to 150 ms and stayed there. It wasn't my side because I left and rejoined to find that my ping went back to 50 . This is AFTER the update that was released earlier today.
Getting random 5 second frozen screens is always fun when there's a person charging at you, which you would've killed if your screen didn't freeze.
Gun game is pretty fun. Some guns are more annoying to use, but going through 20 different guns is amusing. I played it only once so far and came out in first .
Theater is a fairly nice new feature. I'm uncertain as to why it only chooses certain games to record (so far, the only game it's recorded it my gun game one? I hope that's not all it will record...). playing back your game in first person/third person/free camera and having the ability to see the whole game from someone else's point of view, in slow/fast motion, and having the ability to rewind or skip directly to specific kills is quite an amazing feature in my personal opinion.
Most guns deal well without stopping power. It's almost as if every single gun has stopping power on it, since the snipers are one shot kills to the chest/upper legs/upper arms/head (or you could say it's like CoD2 was with gun power :S).

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm somewhat sad that snipers are as underpowered as they are in comparison to the automatic guns . This won't stop me from using the L96A1 or w.e it's called, but it's annoying as fuck to shoot someone in the face only to have it not register due to lag, then have them spray a whole clip at you to have not a single bullet land on you in the kill cam, yet you somehow were killed.

Got the game yesterday. I'm rank 7
I won't really be playing it until they fixed the fps lags. The game is mainly about having a lucky reg now.

[Pedsdude]

I'm definitely not bothering with sniper until lag issue is resolved.

Looks like they attempted to fix some of the problems. I haven't started my game yet today, but I'll try it out in a minute.

PIECE OF SHIT FUCKING GAME. It's lost a LOAD of my XP twice now...i've from levels 26-34 once, and levels 23-17 once (After prestiege)...going to uninstall this piece of shit unless I find a fix to get my xp back.

Wait... you went from 26 to 34, then from 23 to 17? Doesn't sound to bad to me .

Levels aren't hard to gain anyways. I'm getting like 30k+ experience per round on tdm and that's just about enough to lvl.

This is how OP the Famas is btw:

The point still stands...I've lost about 4+ hours play due to the fucking gay stat system. I won't be attempting to level up again tbh...waste of time. Fucking pissed off at that piece of shit.
For the record, I'm blaming Steam / Soviet.

Well, if you're not having fun, I don't blame you. I'm personally having fun, so I don't care as much for the bugs/glitches no matter how annoyed I become at them.

[Soviet]

You're blaming me? I said don't buy it. Later noob, I'm going to go play Team Fortress 2, a fun, well balanced, well optimized, not laggy game on Steam where I've never lost stats.

You can be lucky to play at all. For me and many others the game crashes when its loading a new map and come up with a stupid DirectX error. Singleplayer doesnt work at all. I care less about your lost ranks and i wish they reset it completely till the game is fixed for me/us

I know somebody who had the direct x error...I found them a fix within 2minutes that worked. Google.

I guess ultralala was just... *puts on sunglasses*.. too lazy for black ops.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

[ultralala]

a link to the fix would be appreciate

seems legit, and I guess I am better than all those hundreds of threads on the internet and "Activision-Customer-Support" as you called it .

[ultralala]

omg lol..finally found it...but why theres an amateur-vid from Infinite and KS in it?
We are just a bunch of noobs looking for 5 days for a solution and you found it in 2 minutes^^*sarcasm*still need the fix
