Call Of Duty Black Ops Works Just Fine On The 360

My PS3 counterparts have gone through some rough times with their console of choice as of late, plagued with security breaches, hacks, and endless bugs. The latest game to fall under these unfortunate circumstances is none other than Call Of Duty Black Ops, the biggest selling game of all time. It’s gotten so bad that glitches render the game almost useless, meanwhile for 360 users its business as usual. Now to be fair, the 360 did get a minor bug that allowed some to paint their guns gold, but treyacrh quickly patched the issue and that was that.

[ActionBastard]

Is that why patch 1.06 is coming to the 360 too?

Fail.

[Passthemic]

Key Word "minor issues".

[Hitman0769]

It really works fine on PS3 too except for the party system which Microsoft programmed universally for 360, Treyarch didn't bother to program a good party system on PS3 they just threw something together without testing it in REAL WORLD conditions.

@Action Bastard- Kinda of off-topic, but uve never made a comment on this site that hasn't given preference to the PS3 or Sony. I find that interesting.

"Give me a fucking break Black Ops online is a mess on any platform."

So why is it the most played online game on HD consoles at the moment? People can choose to play BC2, Reach, M.A.G, KZ2 etc., but most WILLINGLY choose to play Black Ops. Its ur opinion and ur entitled to it, but on N4G (a site that frowns upon anything the mainstream likes just for the sake of being different), I take ur argument with a grain of salt.

The point is, gamers don't play games that they think are crap.

@Pixelated_Army- No one said the 360 version works "perfectly"...thats a silly argument since NO online game is flawless. The argument here is that the 360 version is running a hell of a lot better than the PS3 version at the moment...and thats true.

[Pixelated_Army]

Xbox live + $10 rate increase + cost of the game + P2P hit detection issues = priceless

360 works perfectly? ELPres disagrees with you. lol

@DEAD

People play what they are used to no matter what the problems are, COD isnt a bad game but it IS the Madden of this generation.

No matter the bugs or glitches people will run out in droves to buy COD. Most do it because they either dont know of anything else or dont care.

COD is one of those games i consider to be core-casual, its easily accessible, doesnt take much skill, and the arcadey nature of it make it fun to play for a variety of people.....

[sdtarm]

Cant believe ppl still care about CoD, its always been garbage and the biggest insult to any gamer.

I feel bad for those brainless sheeps that just keep wasting a full pricetag on a game thats the same sht every year worst is the ppl who give 60 bucks to a greedy company every year to be able to use a service that should be free.

Good thing thats not all of us and i honestly dont care how well CoD runs on 360 I play games that cant even run on a 360

@derangeshaman

"Key Word "minor Issues"

Well your key words for this title is "Works Just Fine" so which is it? Does the 360 version work just fine or does it have some issues?

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

@deadreckoning

*looks at tittle*
Afirmation of game working rightly on 360

*looks at tags, reads article*
It's obviously a comparison of the current state of the game on PS3 and on 360.

*looks at first comment*
Guy says that 360 version is about to receive same patch than PS3 version, obviously implying it's not so ok.

This looks like a logical comment to me, how is that off-topic?

Now your comment is way more off topic (trying to deny a perfectly logical comment for the commenter preferences) and an unfunded mess... Popularity holds little to no relation to quality, plus COD may be the most played multiplayer on 360, but last I heard on PS3 it was still SOCOM, around the time the way more popular MW2 was on it's peak. Do you have any source to say BO is the most played game on PS3?

[hassi94]

@bishop-br

Actually he was saying that he himself (deadreckoning) was being off topic by commenting on Action Bastard's history. You just told Deadreckoning what he knew.

[ActionBastard]

I think the 360 is shit, I don't hide that. I'm proud of it. And Black Ops on 360 is borked too.

[Dante112]

Lol, I like how the guy tries to convince me to buy a Xbox360 and claims it's superiority through Black Op bugs on the PS3.

"Then why are these issues mostly exclusive to the PS3 and not the 360? Regardless of the reasons, its obvious PS3 users has been royally screwed. Can we all go back to being gamers and not brand loyalist?"

XD

Black Ops Aimbot Hack hits all platforms

[ATiElite]

It Really Doesn't but it should....

Seeing how anywhere from $5 to $8 dollars of YOUR Xbox Live subscription fee goes directly to ACTICVISION I would expect the dam 360 version to run FLAWLESS in full 1080p HD 8xAA 16xAF 100FPS Vsync across 3 screens in 3D.

Modern Warfare 2 sold 20 million units, Activision made millions but did that translate to a super duper better game? Fuck NO! Black Ops has sold way over 20 million units and I guarantee Modern Warfare 3 will be no better than Modern Warfare 1.

Bottom line Activision has made way too much money for the quality of their games to even be in question. They should have AAA quality on any platform as the Call of Duty series has made more cash than 90% of all the developers out there.

[Headquarters11]

Black ops Black ops blah blah blah, WHO CARES? Everybody knows that the 360 version of black ops works fine Captain Obvious. Why make an article about it?!

[r1sh12]

I only play the xbox version, but it does have many problems too.
If you look on the treyarch forums for the 360 you will notice a massive thread about lag.
The game uses a lag compensator so it looks like everyone has a green (3 or 4) bar connection when they really dont.
Treyarch used this on all platforms and it gives people with bad connections and high ping a massive advantage.
Also the person who talks all that xbox live + $10 price hike etc...
The servers are dedicated, and its always down to the dev's if they want to use them.

[lil Titan]

everyone is complaining on the game but keeps on playing it? why? just dont play it thats how you send a message to them not flood the facebook page with messages, not email them all that does is bring a new patch and i wonder how many people are disappointed with the game but will buy those map packs? that tells them they are doing something right if you buy there product STOP PLAYING if they see there numbers of 5,986,785 go down to 689,495 that is a message believe it or not

[Led-Zeppelin]

FFS Im growing more tired of Treyarch and Activision everyday.

[Megaton]

Hacks just fine on the 360 too.

[DFresh]

Give me a fucking break Black Ops online is a mess on any platform.

The only reason why Xbox 360 has less problems is because that platform is the lead platform for the Call of Duty series instead of it originally being PC which is where that franchise originally started.

Let's not forget on Xbox 360 it's a simple copy/paste on PS3/PC it's different coding and it looks like the developers don't want to take the time to code properly because that would mean they would have to work.
(Some idiots think it's because of XBL that COD runs better on Xbox 360 when really it's just different coding and the fact that the games didn't code the game properly for PS3/PC is why those platforms are having issues.)

Boo fucking who it's their damn jobs to make games either do it right or don't do it at all.

Don't make me waste my time.

[pepsilover_2007]

so is it me or am i hearing more glithes on the ps3 then the wii, hmm how the tides have turned, then again microsoft probally payed to screw over ps3 owners anyways so screw microsoft and treyarch :) but u would have figured that they would try to fix there games

[roflcopters]

"then again microsoft probally payed to screw over ps3 owners anyways so screw microsoft and treyarch"

I bet you think MS is to blame for "no towns" in FFXIII too, keep wearing that tinfoil hat buddy

[plb]

I tried patch 1.06 on ps3 and got disconnected 2/3 games before I gave up. Treyarch/activision sucks.

[Kon]

Because the Xbox is not a port like the PS3 version.

[ps3rider]

no we are talking about the multilayer here. if you check the PS3 sales of Black ops. you gona fine a good number behind the Xbox 360. the question is. lets assume game released with tons of error. why activision do nothing about supporting the ps3 multiplayer

[pepsilover_2007]

Just a thought is it the patch problem is treyarch fault, but what if the ps3 verson just got hack by all the idoits hacking their ps3 hmm

[realplayer82]

Horrible and biased article business as usual for shaman....

[Adolph Fitler]

Endless bugs, security breaches....You forgot the end of the world for PS3 owners ONLY. What a tool of fanboy proportions. I guess we can cry into Killzone 2 & the infinately better looking (than any COD) part 3, not to mention Socom 4, the Resistnace Series, Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, Bodycount, Homefront & the list goes on, of games that PS3 owners have access to, or soon will to replace the heartache of a supposedly waaaaay inferior version of another Call Of Duty...And if were that hungry for COD action without absolutely minor (to the point of non-visable to the microscope covered fanboy eye) we can go back to the best 2 in the series, that are perfect ports in COD4:MW or WAW).

Stop crying because your realizing your 360, & mass collection of games still leaves you envious of the PS3. Jesus man, it's getting embarrasing for your family.

[takohma]

Not trying to pick and argument but I have a feeling bulletstorm is going to cater more to 360. Since them boys responsible for gears is behind it.

[dragonyght]

I agree with you I mean they a pretty good job with GROW 2 *pause...try to keep a straight face and fail* yep bulletstorm is doom

[LMS]

lol...fine if you like 600p

some would prefer HD

[MeNoRasta]

I can proudly say that the xbox version of black ops is in HD :)
You must be talking about the first xbox that came out in 2001.

[Speed-Racer]

Excuse me idiot OP but the last time I checked, Black Ops was also available on the PC and PS3. We don't care if it works fine on the 360. I am not going to buy a 360 just to play one god damned game. Maybe if it looked good like GT5 or something and was less bug ridden, MAYBE... but I am NOT going to waste 15 bucks on some maps when the game itself is a piece of trash.

[GSpartan777]

Pointless article. You go the whole article telling us that the Xbox 360 version of Black Ops is better than the PS3 version, then you ask us if Sony is potentially to blame for this and then end it with "Can we all go back to being gamers and not brand loyalist? Instead of saying I love my PS3 or 360 how about, I love gaming." after you going that far to tell us the 360 is the better version.

[takohma]

So.... What is this article trying to say? That it's fine just cause it runs good on 360? So catering to one system is good enough?!?!? I didn't have time to read the whole article. I'm on a 15 minute break and trying to eat at the same time. Lol. I sometimes think maybe this should just be 360 exclusive with all those exclusive dlc they got lined up for it. One of the reasons why I choose MOH over this. I'm satisfied with it. Lol

[Masterchef2007]

I dont know why 360 owners are stating that PS3 owners deserve the crappy port of Black Ops that they got. I mean everyone has the right to enjoy a video game. And in order to be able to enjoy that game must be playable. Which in the case of black ops PS3 its a very broken game. I believe in one or 2 things that either Activision didnt want to spend as much money developing the PS3 because it would sell less than the 360 one. Or they did this on purpose because Microsoft made an agreement with them behind the scenes to make the PS3 version broken. And they probably did this so they can have bragging rights and get people to think that the 360 is superior hardwarewise because of the broken PS3 version of Black Ops.

I know that the last bit i said seems to come from a lunatic. But if you look at how good they made MW2 on both the 360 and PS3 and you compare it to Black Ops. Theres a huge difference. I mean sure the 360 version may have bloom and may run 6-7FPS faster. But they both are extremely playable and their online works great.

[Rynx]

I'm glad I haven't bothered with COD since COD4MW.

[artdafoo]

That tends to happen when the company that makes said console pays out the ass.

[citan]

On the article's title: so what?

I chose to play on PS3 after trying three platforms: PC, PS3 and X360 (in chronological order). I have my own reasons and I don't need to justify them. I prefer PS3, I like it, I don't like gaming on PC or X360. I don't care if you call me a fanboy or else. And particularly it's not publishers' right to do it. If they sell the game on PS3, for full price, it HAS TO WORK. Period. If it doesn't, screw you, lame people who wrote it. If you can't master your skills in programming, go pick strawberries or whatever.

I never bought BO, the above comment is on any lame port they try to disguise for a fully working game. Now I always choose Sony exclusives over multiplats. Not because they come from Sony but because they mean quality.

[claterz]

It works on the 360, but it's still a shit game. It's just a shit game that runs smoothly and has less glitches.

[southernbanana]

I really wish these console superiority issues would disappear. Who cares if one game runs better on this console, or another game looks better on the other console. At the end of they day the only difference I see in my house is their online services.......

[Aarix]

Why is everybody complaining about the $60 for xbl I don't see anyone that actually has the subscription complain about it.

[roflcopters]

cause the little crybaby fanboys have nowhere else to place blame. I find it funny they cite xbl as the reason why activision can't fix CoD on ps3. lol, its always the MS fault no matter wft is going on, it happened with FFXIII and its MS's fualt CoD suckshyt on ps3.

[Aarix]

Are you serious hahaha

[jrbeerman11]

some people are so sensitive
