Call of Duty: Black Ops - Out now!

Oooo...thanks for that link, it'll be nice not having to alt+tab to kick idiots.

Anyone who has the game, feel free to join the server. Right now we're just running S&D since it's pretty hard to find a server running it that isn't hardcore. We're also going to try and manipulate the reserved slots to make our server 7v7 since 9v9 is way too many on most of the maps.
 
You know you never actually told us the name of the server, right? ;)

I _think_ I figured it out, thanks to mad Googling skillz, but if you're welcoming us here to come join, the name might help.

Edit: Hmm, I wonder if I was actually on your server last night just from random matchmaking. Some of the names of the members there sound familiar. I'll have to check the list of recent servers when I get home this evening.

Edit 2: Just in case you haven't restarted since last night:
[quote name='http://forums.gameservers.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=41310']11/10/2010: 6:35pm EST - The changes to all subscriptions have been done to enable sv_maxRate of 25000

In order to activate this change, simply restart your server at your convenience. On restart, the server will come up with the new sv_maxRate Setting...Keep in mind that this parameter tune will help with some aspects of lag that has been seen.[/QUOTE]

Treyarch will be releasing a fix for the server browser in the next 24 hours that should correct the problem with being able to find your server on the server browser. We appreciate your patience in this matter[/QUOTE]
Nice.

Thanks for reminding me. I had it still stuck in my head that people could join by IP. The servers name is .eleet Ranked S&D Non-HC.
You were in there last night. I said hi but I guess you didn't hear me. My in-game name is [e]waylo.

Oh, it should be getting easier to find servers as well. On the GS website, they posted the following:

Bah, I'm too slow with my edits.

Heh, so I was there. I didn't even realize it. I just thought you were some random bloke saying hi :p It's funny -- I was playing random matchmaking games, checking the server browser occasionally to see if I could find your server (I had the name wrong :cry:), and I end up getting placed in it, and not even realizing it.
 
terrible performance here, overall as much as i anticipated a great return to servers i'm very dissapointed in the engine. With the poor performance comes a glitchy UI, terrible textures, and horrid sounds. The game just plain looks dated. Someone said they're still using the previous COD engine and it sure shows. Was kinda expecting MW2 Ops, so to speak.

Aiming is floaty again [w@w], shotguns are useless again due to a gimped range [MW2 spaz was a sniper rifle compared to these offerings], no silencers for MGs, no calling out enemy down or frag out [something i took for granted] and the sound, i was hoping it would change but its back to world at wars underwater effect unless the action is right in front of you. I'd say they reused just about every sound effect from world at war as well. The worst is the textures and models, it literally looks like a game from 2007...because it is, and launching with all the performance issues. I feel ripped off [$60!] especially with no resale value [steam acct]. Aside from server, its a definite downgrade. If they simply took the maps, servers, and new leveling system over to MW2 i'd be far, far, more happy with the final product.

They sure as hell wont be getting another dime from me for their DLC.

Heres hoping they get the crap performance issues fixed in a timely manner, until then i wont be playing much or starting the single player campaign. My comp can barely handle medium settings without choking while it ran world at war and mw2 on high fine. I HATE when companies try to pack in all sorts of crap into ancient engines, it always seems to lead to these types of issues like the outdated tech is simply not streamlined for modern hardware.
 
Never played any of the other CoDs, but the game's running smooth for me. And I'd like to think it's running smooth for the majority of the people I'm playing against, or else I'm going to start sucking even more than I am now when it is. Just ask SEH how many 5-10 matches I had yesterday. I might have to try out the server for the other website I'm a member of -- maybe they'll stink a little bit more over there ;)

BTW, did you want me to update the main post with your server info, SEH? I don't think there's really a "CAG server", but figured you guys might not want yours overrun with people from here.
 
I don't mind. However, if it gets full and some of my team members want in, you may get booted. That said, I'll try my hardest to not kick CAG'ers if it comes to that.
 
[quote name='iKilledChewbacca']I finally got the games but now I dont know how to add the CAG server to my favorites list :cry:

Can anyone help ?[/QUOTE]
If you find it in the server browser under ranked matches (it's supposedly easier now, but you still can't connect by IP), you can right click on it, and add to favorites (or might be a button at the bottom to add to favorites, don't recall which). Otherwise, you can have someone invite you the first time, and then it'll be under your recent list, and you can add to favorites from there.
 
What type of gameplay is the server? right now I have search filtered for team deth match only.
 
Search and Destroy. That's going to be what it primarily stays on, though we do occasionally switch it to change things up a bit.
 
Apparently they fucked something up as there are now only like 15 servers that show up for all game modes, and they all lag like crazy, most likely due to them being in Brazil. My friends said Steam and all the servers crashed earlier this morning for some reason.

It's never ending with this game.
 
Yeah. If you can get into a server it is nothign but lag. I have maybe 4 or 5 on the screen at one time. I guess COD MW is still the best COD for multiplayer on the PC. I don't like this half assed dedicated server stuff but it is better than what we did get I guess.
 
I've been saying this since the game came out with it's shitty server support. They should've taken the route L4D did. Have a lobby system so you can team with friends, but have it join you to dedicated servers. You take care of the people who pissed and moaned about no dedis while also throwing a bone to those of us who did enjoy the ease of the lobby system.

Regardless, they need to get some sort of patch or fix out to allow you to team with friends. It makes absolutely no sense that the only way to be on a team with your buddies is through random luck.

Also, why can console players select how much to put on the line in wager matches, but PC users cant? It's just dumb shit like that that really irritates me. There's no reason to not allow PC players to increase or decrease their bet.
 
Yeah looks like the PC players are getting screwed. I was told in one game that the servers are 60 bucks. Is that a month? I should have known the PC would be lacking when you have 3 editions for the 360 and PS3 but the one for the PC. Now that I have used the RC car in game I wouldn't mind having the one that came with the games.
 
Whoever said $60 is talking out their ass. It's $15 a month for a ranked, 18-man server, or $.99 a slot for an unranked server.

at this rate it wouldnt surprise me if they announce the first DLC before anything is fixed. This will probably mark the last COD game i buy for a very long time.
 
Don't know where they got the 60 at then.

I hope they don't come out with DLC for this for some time but hell it could be in a month or so. I wont be getting it and I have said COD4 would be the last one after what they did to MW2. However I did get this one. I read the next might be set in the future. I would like to get it and might even play the signle player of it but chances are I wont get it.
 
I'm getting the game tomorrow (slow ass free-shipping) so I'm going to add a couple of people from here onto my steam list. My username is adamska2020.
 
So, the only way to keep our server full is by switching it to TDM and putting it on Nuketown 24/7. Pretty gay if you ask me since the map is terrible. Last night I set it back to S&D with myself and four others in there trying to populate it. We waited about an hour before we gave up.
 
The fact that Treyarch is talking about banning people because their coders are dumb blows my mind. They're saying those who "rank hacked" (apparently opening the console and typing in an XP command is "hacking") will be banned. That's the equivalent of Best Buy giving away TV's, then sending the police to arrest anyone who took advantage of their mistake.

Seriously, fuck Treyarch.

Sounds like more reasons to not support that developer.

Retail fail.
 
Managed to make it through single-player. BARELY. Jesus christ, the graphical slowdown was unbearable sometimes. It's less apparent when I play multi but still very much there. I hope they fucking fix this soon. I'm definitely holding off on the next cod game because while I'm having fun with black ops, I regret buying it in its current form.
 
Supposedly there will be an MP patch within two hours addressing graphic hitching on certain cards and CPU optimization.
 
New patch makes the game run like butter...aside from the first round. The first round is still choppy as shit, but everything after I'm able to get 80+FPS constant (1920x1200, 16X AA, Shadows, and texture on extra). Before the game was basically unplayable with shadows on and my AA above 4X.

The first round choppiness/lag is still annoying though. My FPS is always above 60, which leads me to believe its an issue with the net code or the thing that records games.
