Call of Duty 7: Black Ops

    The difficulty spike in the romanian nunnery mission is insane, it's like they didn't even playtest the nun-mounted gatling guns...fucking treyarch

    Lots of flickering (Could be the OC i got tho, overheating) and very very low FPS, even at low resolution, shadows off, no AA! And this machine is capable of running crysis maxed at @ 1680! Oo

    Yeah, I hear the pc versions optimization setting are horrid. If u have an older or lower end pc, the specs will not lower properly to what you have. Anyway thats all I heard. I have had no problems with the game, but I just built a brand new machine.

    You guys have to see the tred truck in

    It looks like it was modeled and textured back in 2001.

    I've heard this is a problem with Steam somehow, it's using up all the cpu time it can get pinging servers or doing steamcloud stuff or something in the background. Either way the evidence points at codblops stressing the cpu while barely using the gpu/ram in comparison. The most common performance tweak I've heard is to run the game in Offline mode, alt-tab out of it, and kill steam.exe.

    Ok, I just finished

    Wtf?! That was the most ridiculously hard level I have ever played on Veteran. I know veteran is meant to be ridiculously hard, but this was ridiculously hard! Half the time I didn't know where I was getting shot at, and I think I respawned about 50 odd times. Woah! Next level is pretty fun though, back to Naaam!

    These performance issues are unforgivable for such a big release, there's literally about 30 pages of complaints about the PC version on the Steam forums each day and the official Black Ops forums are closed for "maintenance", 90% CPU usage is a travesty! It doesn't effect everyone though, so it's all pot luck as to whether it runs ok for you or not. I'm going to pick this up on Sunday, I haven't bought a new PC game in months and hopefully if the issue is present, Treyarch will have a patch sorted sooner rather than later (unless they want letterbombs in the mail..)

    There's just no fucking excuse. It's a FPS that was born on PC, and now we're getting console ports of FPS games? Srsly? I guess I really need to get used to how the industry is shaping up.

    Don't get me wrong, I love my PS3, and most console games. But ruining a PC game like this, i can't help it but feel almost offended as PC gamer too.

    I'm not so much offended by the issue as curious. I wish the culture of the game industry was one more open about discussing things like this and we'd hear a public explanation for it instead of a press release saying something along the lines of "X game had Y issue, we sincerely apologize for this regrettable yet unforeseeable issue, here's a patch, please buy the DLC".

    Don't worry, it's been the case for a while now.
