You are kidding right?

More like console kills the game - If consoles were not around the level of graphics and game play of these games would be significantly better.

But as games are coming out and coded with 4yr old hardware in mind as opposed to what's available today or tomorrow, you always get a fking shit game which is but a shade of what it could be

They don't get it do they?

A PC can have 12 screens with higher than 'Full HD' res running a game or 1 screen and 10 screens with porn and one with SAU.

Consoles can only dream of connecting more than one that isn't a duplicate. Three at best if you have a few consoles and a few copies of Forza.

Even with PC only games it still comes down to supporting the wider audience which means lower specs. Wider audience = bigger sales. No use releasing a game that's amazing if it wont make money.

Only problem with pc is that everytime a new game comes out. You need to buy a new pc with better specs just to run it lolol

lolol...no

My LAN pc still runs a GTS250 which is a 9800GT which is a 8800GT which was launched in 2006. Seriously if the best you can do is 'you have to buy new hardware to play the newest most innovative games the way they were intended' you lose.

do you plan on getting black ops on your pc?

Of course not, i don't want a console designed game.

Plus MW2 was shit house. I wont waste my money again.

Friend of mine who plays online/PC - reckons its shit at this stage (game control mechanics are shit, but that'll be due to console IMO).

He plays all the FPS shooters - tier1, MW2, BC2 etc etc - so good enough of a review for me not to waste my money this time round.

:unsure:

I've not changed the major parts in my PC really for nearly 3 years.

Only thing I've changed was a graphics card, @ a cost of $150

I'd rather do that every 18-24 months than play games designed to run off 4yr old graphics :blink:

Some news regarding Multiplayer

Pressing select on the lobby screen will bring up a Host Selection Option.

These are:

DEFAULT - the game finds any host ANYWHERE in the world.

LOCALE - the game looks for hosts close to your location then expands it to far away hosts.

LOCALE ONLY - it will only search for hosts close to your location.

I choose LOCALE as it finds games quick and in oz. LOCALE ONLY takes freakin ages to find a game (and that's IF it finds one). Or if you want lag and shoot people from overseas (mostly Americans) then go for DEFAULT.

Some news regarding Multiplayer

i have some news for all the PC people.

this game runs on STEAM - if you dont have steam, the update takes AAAGGGGGGEEEEESSSS, 10 minutes and its at 4%

i will give you more info when the game installs and i can play

Dunno why so many people are hating on this game, I reckon its way better than MW2. It basically IS MW2 but with tons of new little features. Sure if you're the type to prestige 10x over and still rack up a year constantly online play you might see slight differences and problems, but for the casual gamer this game rocks.

I like the money system too, although I think it would've been better if guns didn't have level restrictions, but instead had higher costs for the later tier weapons. So you could save for your favourite gun, or just upgrade as you can afford them. The money is common enough to buy pretty much every gun, but not enough to modify them all (no doubt this will change once you level up). So you have to pick and choose which you like.

What guns is everyone using? My best so far is the Falil with red dot and silencer, or in smaller maps the AK74u with red dot and dual mags. I just unlocked the AUG too, but I don't think I like it. It shoots insanely fast and I find myself spraying a full clip just to kill one guy.

Maybe because MW2 was a steaming pile of turd?

Maybe because Treyarch ALWAYS just tweak something IW has already done and usually make it worse?

Those early COD campaigns were pretty sweet.

But how is worse? It's different, but that doesn't automatically mean its worse. Like I said most of the hardcore gamers hate this new versions because its not what they're used to. I hated MW2 (and the original) in the end because I'd log and everyone was multiple prestige and simply owned me. With this game I can keep decent kill/death ratio, at least for now.

You are playing a shooter on a console so you don't really count.

Having said that MW1 was great, physics were near arcade but it was pretty good and you could get to max level in 24 hours and get whatever loadout worked for you. Dedicated servers meant good pings for all. PB was updated often and a few servers were extremely aggressive at weeding out cheats.

Then IW said 'oh hai, we crapped this out and it seems to work ok on xbox - you should all buy it' sadly people did, more people than ever. I must admit it was a good marketing campaign and they probably could have included a dose of AIDS in the packaging and it still would have sold.

The fact that it took Treyarch, the far and away lesser developer up until MW2, to put what are standard features in games usually back was never a good sign.

Anyone who played most of the COD series knows that it was always the Treyarch offerings that were crap.

how long did single player take you to beat and on what difficulty?

3rd and hard to say. I started at 1am and played until 5am then slept, then woke up around 2 and played till 4, then went out and don't know what time I got back but had it done about an hour after coming home

AWESOME SECRET

At the main menu, press L1, R1, L1, R1, L2, R2, L2, R2. This will initiate an interactive mode that will eventually lead you to a special mode known as "Black Ops Zombies: Zombie Ops." I'm not going to say how to access Zombie Ops... I can't take all the fun out of it :whistling:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
