Call of Duty PC Community on Fire over Black Ops Problems, for Good Reason

BP writes: "No, this is not the Black Ops review. That is in the pipe, and to give Call of Duty: Black Ops developer Treyarch a fair shot at fixing their game and making it an overall success, the review will be held back until an expected series of patches to correct issues in the game are released."

I hear there's a few glitches... where's the patch!

[brandynevils]

I'm sure its coming, but better get here soon before you piss off your fanbase anymore

[Red_Orange_Juice]

buy consoles and stop whining you PC nerds

[SolidStoner]

@ red orange juice

well on console Black ops is even worse! I want to buy it for my ps3, but I cant, treyarch dont let me buy it, its just full of crap!

[HolyOrangeCows]

Stoop!d monkeys. They need to get their crap together.

[shovelface88]

They already have released a patch and are working on further fixes. These things take time. Be less retarded.

[Ninja-Sama]

The sad thing is all this could've been avoided or fixed before launch had they had an open beta. The in-game lag at least which is breaking the game for many PC gamers would have been identified immediately.

They did it for WaW, why not BO? Are their games too good for open betas now that they're the "lead" CoD devs?

[RedSky]

It's pretty clear they don't give a crap about PC gamers. It's a small market for them so they pinch pennies on it.

Simply trying to play this on an averagely speced PC that can play most other games at full HD resolution with most effects turned on flawlessly would have revealed that it chugs and glitches like crazy.

Obviously though, with the biggest franchise out there on their backs, they didn't have the money/manpower to do it.

well I guess they dont care about anyone but xbox gamers, the ps3 version is garbage. PC gamers are the quickest to complain though, its actually not nearly as big a problem as the bloggers make it seem to be. For example, alot of gamers didnt install the direct x update and had issues related to that.

[CheatsMcGee]

Sounds like someone dropped the ball somewhere.

[BornToKill]

Ya dun goofed Treyarch.

[brandynevils]

They already catch so much crap already that making a big slip like this just kills their whatever credibility they have left.

[SKGamer]

You'd think that they'd have learned from MW2's problems last year, but I guess not.

Come on guys. Get with it.

[HolyOrangeCows]

If they don't send out a patch soon, I'll have to report this to the cyber police.

[smashly]

Looks like ill be waiting a bit for this one.

[Vortex3D]

Why is that a surprise? Gamer publishers know even they ship games with full of bugs, gamers will continue to rush to buy the gamers. So why bother to polish the game before shipping if gamers will buy them?

[Chnswdchldrn]

in regards to black ops....

how does one polish a turd?

[DarkBlood]

you dont the turd polishes it self :P

[emk2004]

i hope people just pirate it.

[morkendo23]

why are ALL developer half a.s.sing around developing games now days?? when SNES,NES,ATARI even ps1 was out never heard of glitches, patches. now we got ALL kind of mess happening WHY!!!.. for sake of more money to suck us DRY?? sheeee-it!... complete it first before RELEASING IT DAMN-IT

[DARK WITNESS]

And that my friend is the real question at hand.

there is a lot wrong with gaming at the moment and it seems to be getting worse.

I don't know if it's the publishers or the developers, but there does seem to be a lack of any forward movement, apart from the introduction of motion control. Right now I am not even sure if thats a good thing.

oh well, maybe if we stop supporting crap they will stop selling it to us. EA manged to make changes, not saying they are totally the best now... but I remember a time when you would never hear me talk about any EA game and now I am looking forward to Dead Space 2 more then anything else next year.

[BYE]

Games have become a lot more complex than during the NES / Atari area, which obviously is much harder to make bug free.

It's not a couple of 1000 lines of codes anymore you know, now it's millions.

[kevnb]

the ps3 version is appaling with its incredibly low res and performance issues on a closed platform. On pc, black ops actually works fine for most! Heck I can play it just fine on my laptop maxed out.

[CombineElite]

If this was Treyarch's first rodeo in PC gaming then i wouldn't complain about some minor bugs (The LAg is serious and Treyarch should be fined $2,000,000)as a patch is coming soon. Buh buh but....

This ain't Treyarch's first rodeo, matter of fact it's the same dam game using the same dam engine so for this complete melt down and lack of quality at Activision and Treyarch shows you that Treyarch isn't a AAA developer and that's probably why they always play back seat to Infinity Ward.
