Man you gotta love Black Ops

I mean who doesnt love sitting in lobby with 12/12 people and it says look for more players to balance. Or the game starting in 9...9...9... 9... Or how about map loading.. synchronizing.... ok wtf its been 45 seconds. Oh no lost connection to hose. Oh wait now the game lobby closed. Gotta love looking at all the green bars and still find stuttering. Or laying down a Napalm strike and watching my fps go down to 20. Oh and dont get me started on the hitmarkers...

This game was poorly made. Who made this a bunch of people with a half year degree in software design or programming?

The game has some good points. It's probably the most balanced CoD multiplayer on this gen of consoles and there are very few 'game-breaking' exploits.

It has some real problems though. Matchmaking is broken, just like you said. I keep getting transmission errors and frozen lobbies. I've encountered the frame-rate issue as well, always when Napalm shows up.

And finally there's the double combo of map and spawn system. The maps are extremely difficult to control without a team you're not used to playing with and the crazy spawn system often decides to throw me alone one on end of the map and spawn the enemy team there half a second later. I'm gonna give the game a rest till patches come out.

Idk CoD2 seemed pretty flawless most of the time. Oh man how i miss the days of no stupid knife lunging and no killstreaks..

Boy am I glad i didn't buy Black Ops.

I got rid of it because it was causeing my ps3 to freeze up and I don't want my blue ray to break. The game is garbage and broken. I went back to playing MW2 it's far superior.

There's a new patch coming this week.

There's a new patch coming this week.

Papadrach

• Gameplay Tuning:
• • Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.
• • Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.
• • Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.
• • Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.
• • Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.
• • Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.
• • Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.

They seem pretty good to me, I'm not so sure about the red diamond player indicator being delaying for killstreaks. It's not like like those killstreaks need a nerf, if anything they need a buff because as it stands right, a Chopper Gunner can easily get blow to bits before the door is even open. There's other stuff like the party system and disconnects being fixed. You can look at everything here.

It is there profession and they're good at it. Just because there are technical problems doesn't mean they did a bad job. Every call of duty titles has had problems and this one is no different. If you want to say they can't program then try doing it yourself.

I have been just having problems with firends being able to accept my invite to play zombies....Its always says game no longer available or something else....????Besides that I thought the story was weak.....How can you feel like you are a soldier in war when you always know they are flash backs and you are safley being strapped in a chair....

This will probably get moderated, but I really don't care because I am speaking from experience. I was having the exact same problems that you are experiencing on my PS3. So, I sold the game to a friend and bought it for my 360 where the problems instantly went away. Thinking the servers were fixed or a patch had been released I repurchased a PS3 version to play with some friends and I kept running into the exact same problems again and again. Stay away from the PS3 version if possible.

Lag has always been around and until dedicated servers aren't just for PC and the host determines the connection we can't really do anything about it. Hit detection, while bad in this game, has again, always been a problem in COD. People complained for months about the match making in MW2 and they fixed it, so I expect the same of Treyarch. The only two glaring problems in this one that aren't in others are framerate and disconnect. A public beta would have helped get these problems quicker, but like you said it probably wasn't their call.

The game is good but it just needs to work out the kinks.

Going between this and MW2 it's ridiculous how much nonsense we have to put up with. MW2 ran so well with smooth framrate and no lag at all yet BO struggles like it is the one that was released earlier.CyberAltair5

Not to mention how bad the graphics are. CoD4 on pc is miles better looking than BO on consoles. They really need to take more time and consideration into the making of these games...

Single player if where the game shines, just like all games. MW2 was a mess after a while of playing, so it was no doubt Black Ops would succumb to the same issues that plagued MW2.

Well, the patch might help the spawning a bit. It's the thing that's annoying me about this game. Map control is just nonexistent at the moment.

As far as the graphics go I don't think they were bad at all but I guess it's because my standards as\ren't high or I'm just easy to please.CyberAltair5

Call of Duty does not belong on PS3. That's what I believe. Not only does the game suck on the PS3, but the players tend to be quite bad from time to time.

Did I say the game was a complete joke? No

You're putting words in my mouth. All I'm saying is the game SHOULDN'T be having these problems at such a severity. BC2 had a lot issues when it first launch but guess what? Nothing made me quit the game for over a week. Yes, MW2 had issues with matchmaking and connection at launch but that doesn't even approach how often and severe it is in Black Ops. Every time a new multiplayer launches, I expect issues but I never expect them to ruin the game or make me want to stop playing. I didn't stop playing MW2 after the first month because of the few issues they were having. I think Black Ops is an alright game at the moment but could become really great if these things were sorted out.

All games have their flaws...

And no game is perfect...

But why do threads like this, which nitpick the hell out of a game and point out ANY and ALL flaws. exaggerating them to death, always pop up about the current best and most popular game out? It's simply because people like Mr. Papadrach here are self-loving and overly opinionated and would really like to believe that their opinions and tastes are more valid than the "simple-minded masses".

The fact of the matter is that this game was not in fact poorly made, and that to the contrary, it was made well enough to become the highest grossing video game of all time. I don't think that a bunch of idiots with half-year degrees in software design put out the most succesful video game ever made.
