Recently, Activision has released a patch to solve the problem releated to the ground breaking Call of Duty: Black Ops. the problem is deals to CPU’s, happens when the game is running at full speed, causing the title to ‘skip’ and ‘lag’. But that’s not enough, there are still problems to be solved.

Bobby might say he doesn't care about the fanbase but this proves (IMO) he's under pressure to bring activision back into gamers good books.

dirthurts5329d ago

He cares. And this hurts sales.

RevXM5329d ago

Maybe he is counting on his faithfull sheeps?

frjoethesecond5329d ago (Edited 5329d ago )

I haven't even bought BO (waiting for used copy). I was just hoping Kotec turned over a new leaf. After all, most prospective buyers have bought the game already so they could get away with not patching it. The sheep will follow regardless and buy the next instalment right?

Tested and it works.

Credit goes to Kizbits2000 for discovering the problem.

The root of the problem actually lies with-in the new embedded friends system in-game. It seems (From what I can see) that every friend you have is being verified very frequently to check their; online status, in a game status and Level. This constant request for information is slowing down the game play as it is needing a lot of CPU power all the time to do this, taking up more and more system resources and resulting in fluctuating FPS.

i dont care how bad a game company is if people cant play their game they will fix it

other wise its doing a disservice to the developers who put 2 years of work into the game

dredgewalker5329d ago

I'm still not "buying", Activision games have been plagued by bugs and glitches due to the fact that they rush the development. Release buggy games and patch later has now been their motto as of late. You can disagree as much as you like but it won't change my opinion and will never ever buy their games again due to my experience with them.

no_more_trolling5329d ago

activision will continue to prosper without u

dredgewalker5329d ago

Definitely, I will agree with you on that. I want no part in the growth of an evil empire :P

Message to developers: If you're going to create a game on multiple consoles you should make sure it runs on multiple consoles.

rjdofu5329d ago

I would say 'run equally on multiple consoles'

bunfighterii5329d ago

nah cos then they'll just release broken games on all consoles...

how about 'runs smoothly on mulitple consoles'?

MajestieBeast5329d ago

Fix the damn spawn points its retarted i get killed by the guy i killed 10 seconds later cause he spawned behind me.

dirthurts5329d ago

I'm surprised it made it out like this. Probably release date pressure but still.

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb27d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville26d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer27d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer27d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

More hyped for CoD 2026.
IW's at helm. Supposedly doing an engine evolution similar to MW'19. Evident by the current-gen only rumors.

Deathtracker31d ago

Me too. I'd also love to see the DMZ 2.0 rumors come true that year.

Goodguy0129d ago

Which were the worst black ops campaigns lol. And Bo4 had none...

Father__Merrin29d ago

A 2 hour sprint to online play and micros.
