Black Ops showing the strain as multiplayer verges on the unplayable

AATG: "For some inexplicable reason, wager matches are consistently extremely difficult to get into with only Team Deathmatch and Domination among those modes reliably playable. Far too often parties get broken up or gamers just don't get into games at all."

There's periodic framerate drops when too much stuff happens on screen.

ipwnall5329d ago

True, and then along came a fix like the jizz from the lord almighty.

The pc version is kicking ass.

raztad5329d ago

lol. That is funny. Someone else got to fix the game for Treyarch. What is funnier is the guy just copy pasted some stuff from MW2 config files.

Treyarch = fail

Archdemon5329d ago

Freezes very frequently. But I'm playing matches with 18 ppl. Might have something to do with it.

ChineseDemocracy5329d ago

I'm having some pretty big issues (PS3)

- In matches, I'd say 1/3 games I drop

- Standard connection issues, tons of lag

- Party system invitations/joining
inconsistencies

- Due to "lag": player vs. player interaction is really messed up, inconsistency between parties. Most likely due to lack of dedicated servers. HUGE host advantage!

JonnyBadfinger5328d ago

the only issue i am experiencing is all party members not making it into the game. usually 4 out of 6 make it and the other 2 drop.

But other than that, i cant say i have had any problems... i only search locale only and i have the fastest internet in Australia so 99% of the time i am hosting. So i have nothing else to say...

except FUCK THOSE FUCKING RC-XDs!

I haven't run into many problems online, and I've put around 6 hours worth of play time. On the 360 version anyway.

RedDead5330d ago

Treyarc really messed up with the other versions didn't they? It's a shame, Black ops is the best cod yet. I'v put in about 10 hpurs multi, 3 hours zombies, finished campaign on Hardcore aswell, it is the best one, this is coming from a Cod4 lover, Waw meh'er and MW2 hater

-Alpha5329d ago (Edited 5329d ago )

It will get better. These issues are very common in a lot of games.

The multiplayer itself is fantastic.

The PC got f*cked bad though, and I feel sorry for PC gamers. PS3 gamers are next, and of course, XBox gamers have gotten the smoothest experience.

I haven't experienced much lag at all though, I've usually had smooth sailings, but I've had my PS3 freeze at least 5 times now and it is very annoying to see them not have ironed out things like that.

Soldierone5329d ago

@Alpha

No...there are issues with new games, yeah, but this is not excusable and Treyarch shouldn't walk away with a slap on the wrist. They knew this game was going to be big, they should of took the extra effort to fix things like this.

With Medal of Honor every little issue people could find were a huge deal. Yet you could get into games and play lag free just fine.

Gawdl3y5329d ago

I have the PS3 version, and I haven't once experienced any of the problems mentioned. Black Ops is definitely the best CoD to date. MW2 was garbage (the campaign was kind of cool though), so I'm glad Treyarch upped the ante.

My PS3 hasn't frozen once while playing this game, and I haven't had any problems at all, except maybe slight framerate drops when a lot on screen is happening.

-Alpha5329d ago

@Soldier

On PC, sure, it is inexcusable. But I play on PS3 and my experience has been pretty standard overall.

Keep in mind they are dealing with the biggest MP game on 3 different platforms.

JLeVRT5329d ago

I agree. CoD4 was great, W@W was meh. But MW2 WASNT HORRIBLE! Stop overreacting people! MW2 pissed me off alot, but it wasnt THAT bad to me at least

kparks5329d ago (Edited 5329d ago )

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH126d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt126d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21126d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime126d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils126d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
