So Black Ops Multiplayer will be free this weekend on Steam

Anyone else preloading? I haven't bought this for PC yet but am anxious to see what it's like on PC (with a MOUSE and KEYBOARD) with multiplayer.

 

I don't like the community. I got screamed at in a game

 

Whaaaat?! During a Team Deathmatch or something?

 

I think calling it a community is a stretch. I've been called every racial slur in the book, and anything else you can think up. And I'm a white guy. I had a lot of fun with the game, but muting the sound and forgetting how to read the console messages is a must.

 

I purchased Black Ops the day it was released, and since then things have gotten so busy with working two jobs, and planning a wedding, moving and putting in time for the military reserves, I've played Black Ops a total of 1 hour, and that was unplayable frame rates on the M11x when it first launched, prior to the first patch. Though I hope that tommorrow if I can get more unpacked, and get my sound system setup, I can begin playing it again. Sorry just venting on the balck ops issue because I've had a few beers.

 

'sall good cuz I had a few beers when I created this thread! +1! lol

 

lol, sounds like a grown up version of playing BlackOps online on 360 or PS3. Little 13 year olds trying to cuss you out!

I usually mute everyone anyway.

 

Can you use a 360 controller with Black Ops?

 

I wouldn't on PC, you are giving yourself a major handicap.

On 360 I have had NO issues playing with people. PC gamers trip the hell out.

 

Lol We are just more hardcore than console players is all.

 

You guys remember at the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where they personally go to all those peoples' houses and kick the crap out of them because of stuff they said about them on the web? That is what I sometimes wish I could do when gaming online. When you're online folks can say anything they want because there are no repercussions.

 

I have only noticed these kind of pc gamers in CoD, not CoD4, only MW2 and Black Ops. I think this problem has less to do with the PC community and more to do with the CoD community. I find that Xbox is way worse sometimes. People take the time to record a voice message and send it to me cussing me out because I killed them. Again this is in CoD. That why I only play CoD4 and Bad Company 2. I also switched from Xbox back to PC because the community in general is older and more mature. A 12 year old can't cuss you out in Bad Company 2 on PC because he can't afford a PC that can run the game. That's why they stick to Xbox/PS3 and CoD games because most people can afford a console or have their parents buy it for them and the fact that the last two CoD games were made so easy that anyone can play and do well. End rant.

 

Well, what can i say. I bought Black Ops for my M17x because i enjoyed it for the 360, BUT multiplayer just WONT work!!!! I just constantly says "fetching Stats" before finally giving up and telling me it couldnt connect check COD.com/blackops/status.

So frustrating, ive scoured the net all night for a solution. I tried fowarding ports, creating static iPS, using DMZ ip, uninstalling and re-installing. NOTHING works. and the worsed thing, there is no Activision support!!! not on the phone anyway.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Lol!!! I laugh so hard when people record messages and send them to me. The ignorance. Thinking I will actually listen to what they have to spew is incredulous.... If I feel the need to let someone have it, I log onto xbox on my laptop, send a few short messages so they see all I have to say before deleting them.

But rarely does anyone light a fire under me enough to warrant a trash talking. Almost always little boys who think that being masculine is telling me how fat my mom is and how she looks in their prepubescent selfs bed.

End rant... ;-)

 

....I immediately noticed longer life and way more kills no matter what room, no matter the skill level of the people I was up against. Getting 3 kills on Xbox/PS3 before dying is a miracle for me....on the PC, I get a minimum of 3-4 kills BEFORE dying. God bless PC gaming. Looking forward to putting in more time tonite and ranking up!!!

 

Kudos, cant wait to try it once my R3 comes in the mail!

 

lol i dont suffer from there sorts of problems in bc2 the "community" is way way better. Well atleast for me it is, most of my friends on bc2 are above 17 years old and alot more mature and we all end up having fun playing online.

But usually when i wanna play BLOPS on pc i do it with my local friends on because there is just so much of things that were mentioned above, espicially racism cant handle it

bc2 doesn't suffer that much mayb cauz i play with people from europe so its more idk friendly?

 

I loved BF2, looking forward to BF3

Also liked the BF1942 with the DC Mod

 

Btw, I was able to crank up the quality all of the way up and get super smooth gameplay on my R2 5870 CF setup. I think it has to do with the new drivers.

I had draw distance all of the way up as well.

 

Did you overclock it as all?

 

This is what I was trying to say. The CoD games after CoD 4 became crappy. They started making them easy for everyone to play and do well, that's why there are all these little kids playing them. I love BC2 because it is a difficult game for most people, that's why the little kids stick to CoD.

 

You've got a good point there. Everything is leaning toward the kiddies these days. They've just got so much buying power now.

 

^^^ Very true, just wish I could somehow administer liquid soap to their mouths some times through their mics or something lol.

 

Honestly, I haven't noticed it at all. I only remember one time a guy even had a microphone in, and he was just spewing stuff like "behind you [player]". All my games have been completely silent. Then again, I've only been playing this weekend as result of the free weekend, so my experience is limited.

 

On PC or Console?

We were talking more about console gaming since most children dont have access to a rig with enough juice to handle multiplayer games on the PC.
