Yeah, I just read in the official forum from JD or whatever his name is that he said even though they change in the console they don't actually change in the file itself. That was prior to the patches though so like I said it could be different now

Well that's a bug in itself.

So that last mission was fully 100 times more awesome than shipment from COD4.

Did TS drop for you too Bull?

It did for me twice...but when I joined there was no one on?

Nearly gave up on this game, what with the lag and the getting owned everywhere, but once I got a decent gun, life got so much easier..still get sick of level 50 tards running around like in god mode..would be nice to play at similar levels to make it more balanced

Anyone got any ideas on what this latest patch has fixed or changed? I can't find any official announcement about it even being released but 90% of the people are complaining it's made their game worse.

im not to computer literate so just wondering do i have basics to run this game ino i need better grapics card but is this stuff ok

System Requirements are as follows

OS: Windows® Vista / XP / 7
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom™ X3 8750 or better
Memory: 2GB
Graphics: Shader 3.0 or better 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600GT / ATI Radeon® X1950Pro or better
DirectX®: DirectX® 9.0c
Hard Drive: 12GB*
Sound: DirectX® 9.0c-compatible

What monitor are you running? the res your going to try and run the game at has quite the effect on the ability to run high end games, ie trying to run a game on 1680x1050 has quite different requirements than 2560x1600

The 6600 and 5300 are reasonably similar but would possibly be looking at an upgrade there. Video wise I'm guessing by not listing your running onboard? Can't really go to wrong with video cards these days, if you've got around $300 then you'll be able to get a video card that can run just about everything out there on a 22" monitor, one thing you will have to watch however is the PSU, the specs for the X1700 list a 220W powersupply, there are video cards out there at the moment that would kill that without blinking (mate just fried an 850W running 3 Ati 5850's)

Biggest thing probably is your budget, how much do you have to spend on getting the machine up to speed to run CoD:BO?

Choose COD BO and it will tell you if you can run it or not.

Found the changelist. But Zombies is still broken and joining off friends in Multiplayer is still epicly screwed up.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
* CPU performance improvements
* Zombie matchmaking improvements
* Fix for locked ADS after pressing shift-TAB to bring up Steam overlay
* Fix for ADS while holding shift as a sniper

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Multiplayer
* CPU performance improvements
* Server browser bug fixes and tweaks to populate faster and do full refresh less often
* Fixed crash when viewing leaderboards if player has more than 99 friends
* Fix for locked ADS after pressing shift-TAB to bring up Steam overlay
* Fix for ADS while holding shift as a sniper

Rifty dosen't have to worry about that one...

LOL and that would be why I get even choppier performance than pre patch... honestly for the amount of time this game has been out the 8mb patch is a bit of a joke. A game such as this should really have at least a patch either on release day or the following day and be a decent sized file. Would love to know the specs of the pc they used to test minimum specs on because it definately wasnt one with the current specs or these problems wouldve been fixed already.

Running a game I am exceeding minimum specs for and getting 10-30 frames during combat with every setting known to help performance is rediculous.

I will now no longer play this game till the performance (the stuttering) is fixed.

Delete your config_mp.cfg file and re-do your settings/configs.

After the latest pach mine was still shit, then I deleted the file to let the game makes its new defaults, presto no lag.

E8500 + 8GB Ram + ATI 5830 (all stock clocks) 1920x1080 4x FSAA and Extra Textures.. a solid 60+fps

I reckon your only getting lag when Bull is playing. Oh wait that's all the time

well got the game installed and played alil seen this post my pc failed lol cpu has to be upgraded i have AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 550 Processor gee i best to upgrade again

I deleted cfg and played with 1600x900 4xAA full textures and it is okay for a map or two then everytime I either see someone or get shot I stutter. The fps actually seems alright until I am in a fire fight with others.

I use
E8500
Ati 6850
4gb ram

It is frustrating when you die because of consistent stuttery lag when you freeze with the red dot right/ iron sight right on them

I know the feeling.

I find some maps particularly bad, and others I find nearly no stutter at all on. I find on modes like Demolition and S&D where its more objective based rather then just killing that the stuttering is bad. TDM is by far the worst for stutter, but who would want to play that anyway

Your system is almost identical to mine Aaron, just your GFX card is slightly better

Haha stutter i wish that were the only issue I had with it....

Some realism would be nice..jumping jacks and instant prone kills are just so stupid....as for the spawn die spawn die dynamic and the game destroying helicopters and rc bombs..well childish is the only polite word i can find for it....starting to think MOH aint so bad accept for snipers and campers with more tents than Dwights Canvas:p

Some balancing would be nice, i assume hosting your own server and setting the rules is the only way, like all level 50 tossers can pluck right off for a start

Everyone threw up a fuss when DICE removed prone and slowed down the jumping mechanic to stop the "Jumping Jacks" etc, and tbh I was a lil against the idea as well, but after going back to BC2 after playing Black Ops its so much more obvious how much more real BC2 is over COD, and much more enjoyable as well.

The helicopters are far too overpowered.

I've had no issues with stutter and only a little bit of lag but the things you mention Sulley are what I have problems with too.

Yes there are some aspects of this game I like to use the term as 'spastic friendly' eg the diving which I first thought was to disadvantage the proners... it doesnt. Another is the knivinig... every version whether it battlefield or cod is getting easier to knive (courtesy of 'lunge') TBH bring back BF2142 knife, you actually have to pull it out then use some skill to get tags... not like BC2 rubbish lunge.

Also some killstreaks are just lame... the RC... so hard to shoot it due to either my lag or bad hitboxes on it... Some maps the user controlled killstreaks are over powered... eg nuketown... killhouse minus the roof anyone? I still get carpet bombed while im on bottom floor inside...

There is one thing that ended up helping somone with the lag... it is to do with the sound and is by no means a 'fix'.. having to disable all sound devices to play a game 'normal' is just plain stupid.

Equip a secondary to take out helis/uavs etc.. helps a lot.

Not really, just use the 2nd air-craft lock-onable launcher and you can take down any chopper within 5 seconds

Try it on Nuketown when the heli is mowing up the spawn points and racking up kills by the second.
