Multi Call of Duty: Black Ops

So..I'm trying to install black ops, entered my code from direct2drive, everything activated fine. Now when I try and install it though I get a message to insert disk 2 and hit ok...but it was a digital download so there is no disk 2 >.>
 
my friends came over to play this, and they went to bed so, i thought i'd hit up some single player so i set it to veteran, i got to the third mission and...
[BLACKOUT]i'm in the tunnels, after blowing up the rocket, i've gone through about 3 rooms, and in the first control type room, the tunnel, which i'm suppose to go down, has to have literally hundreds of guys, seriously, i have paused the game to post this, i have been sitting here, not moving, fighting off wave after wave, i've had to kill 60-70 guys here alone by now, it's never ending, i don't even dare to move up the tunnels because i always get killed, and they just do not stop coming, seriously, i've been sitting here for 20-30 mins, just killing guys that come out of this tunnel, i'm not saying it's a bad thing(except the checkpoint is pretty far back which sucks when i die), i really wish i could capture this to post on youtube, it's freaking ridiculous, i can't wait to see all the corps if i ever finally kill them all[/BLACKOUT]

That's the part where I said fuck it and switch to regular.
You just have to keep pushing forward, if you just stay back and pick them off, they will just keep respawning in waves.
 
Black Ops killed my computer. xD
Ah well, needed an excuse to get a new setup :D

Yeah it's a bit more demanding. I had to drop down to 2XAA to get a stable 60 frames. With MW2 I was able to max out AA.

Here's a shot I took of it running maxed out:

Any PS3 players having server issues? I went 25-7 in my second game and none of the stats for that match synced at all >_< Not too bad, but still lame nonetheless.

I can't join a game as a party. All people not hosted get "Party no longer active."
 
My game has yet to arrive :( Grr the wait (although I'm still in classes). it's cool that it shows the K/D ratios on the leaderboard, I know I'll be aiming for 3.0+ every match (with and without camping!)
 
My shit got delivered while I ran home for lunch today. So annoying that I have to wait until late tonight to play.

A friend of mine hit up a Target before work at 7:45 this morning. There was about 12 guys between 30 & 40 waiting for it to open. One of them asked if they were all there for the "linen sale," I found that funny for some reason.

Looks awesome there. It didn't help that my computer was caked in dust. Just ordered new CPU, RAM and mobo though, I'll reuse the rest of my setup. Hopefully I'll be back up and running in the next week.

Yeah turns out my computer can't run this game well either, even though it ran MW2 fairly well. It's kinda expected from my specs, but I'm planning to upgrade my mobo and cpu too. Gonna be a few weeks though which is a bit of an annoyance.

It wasn't that the game really did it, I think my computer was just on it's way out anyways. Cheap CPU and motherboard :\

I took a pic of what's happening when it freezes. Important to note that the corruption happens whether I use my 4850 or the onboard graphics so I'm sure we can rule out that possibility. Also, I tried swapping the RAM and same result.

Man, I'm playing this game atm in 800x640 resolution or whatever with every single setting as low as it could possibly go, using my brothers 7950 GT or my on board video card. I'm lucky if I get 50 fps and it usually bogs down to 10 anytime I try to kill someone :(.
 
Very odd, that usually points directly to a fault GPU

That's what I thought but if so then it shouldn't be happening on the onboard graphics chipset. :S gunna take my card around to a friends I think just to double check if the 4850 is still good, otherwise I'll order a gtx460
 
Just played about 5 matches. Earned over 4000 cod points and when i backed out to the main menu, none of my stats synced :/
 
Had a chance to play.

The campaign seems good so far; the plot looks decent, but it's too early to judge. By far, this is a step forward visually for a COD game; the animations & models fit very nicely. Gameplay is still very much linear, though. Cuts straight to the action, as you would expect from a game like this.

Soundwise, the weapons have a nice pop, the only thing I could criticize this early are the voices; they come across as if they're standing beside you and in perfect quality, which breaks immersion a bit.

Multiplayer looks good too. Didn't have the time to join a proper server, but I loaded up a game with Veteran bots. They seem competent enough, albeit AI aiming is evident. The game pulls names from your friends list; which was a nice touch.

Performance wise, my build seems to take it fairly well. Average of 60 fps in multiplayer, little lower for the single player campaign. The options are also more spartan than previous titles, however, I saw a console prompt so I would assume intricate components can be tweaked through some cvars.

So far, very impressed. A step up from MW2.
