First of all I know alot of PC gamers don't like the CoD franchise for whatever reason, but for a somewhat fast paced arcade FPS shooter it's always hit the spot with me.

I ordered new parts for my PC in anticipation of firing BO up and Friday after I got my PC put back together and installed the game I was met with choppy unplayable MP. I tried a few more times over the weekend and nothing had changed. Like alot of people I was kinda disappointed and spent the weekend playing DR2.

Dealing with games that are primarily coded/developed for consoles is a hit or miss when it comes to developer support. I can think of a few past games that I was really dying to play but was hampered because of lack of PC support...(insert rant here). It's not the end of the world, as a lot of times the issues are fixable through manual manipulation of game files, but it's still a pain in the ass not to be able to just boot a game up and play at retail release. Patches are nice...

This morning I woke up and decided to give BO MP a try again and low and behold it ran buttery smooth as compared to the last two CoD games...I was shocked.

There are enough complaints on forums so I figured I'd make a thread that shows appreciation for the effort that someone at Treyarch obviously put into to fixing some of the issues that hampered the MP portion of BO.

:eek:
 
I think it's a fun game, but the post-release support will tell if I appreciate Treyarch or not.

Right now the cheating is already RAMPANT in Black Ops (PC). If they actually do something about it unlike MW2, then I'll be happy. But I'm not holding my breath.
 
Game runs great and I LOVE the way they structured the missions/interogation. Treyarch didn't build the game engine so I cannot credit them with that, however they work very well with the tools given to them.

I would probably prefer them free from the clutches of Activision, more independent and with greater creative boundries.
 
For the most part my game has been running really smooth, minus launch day. I'm having a lot of fun though I wish my friends and I could be on the same team more often so I can stop destroying them :D

I've seen a couple hackers so far but server admins were quick to ban them. Dedicated servers ftw.

Hmm, I haven't really seen that many cheaters. Or if they were there, they just weren't that good. The kill cam usually makes it very obvious. I've only seen one during my 20 or so hours of MP.
 
I won't give kudos to a developer for dong what they already should have done.
Basic testing and a closed beta would of shown Treyaech that their console updates don't play well on the pc.

Appreciation for Treyarch?

I SURE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THEY GAVE SERVER ADMINS A TOOL THAT HAS AT LEAST SOME USE INSTEAD OF THE JOKE THEY GAVE US.

There, my appreciation for treyarch in one sentence.

LOL. The killcam is so incredibly laggy that it should not be used as a judge because it won't tell you anything. Aside from that, I don't think I've encountered a cheater yet in about 10 hours of playing but I've seen people being called out who were blatantly not cheating, CoD is just a random game.
 
They've done more for us than IW has in an incredibly long time.

World at War for PC had incredible support from Treyarch, including working with the competitive community to get Tournaments going as well as a CoD TV plug-in for matches. We also received all the DLC for free and while I doubt that will be the case for BOPS, Treyarch really is not to blame for that, it's everyone's favorite publisher.

The game looks significantly better than MW2, they've added console back into multiplayer, they've added a FoV slider, dedicated servers, lean functionality and built-in support for 8xAA. Some of these are things that IW neglected/failed to do even in CoD's PC hayday.

Black Ops is in my opinion the best CoD release yet. Its feel is a lot more tactical, still arcadish but does not have the "Arena" vibe that MW2 has.

They've been acting quickly to get the PC Issue's resolved and I feel the game will only get better with time. $60 is a lot but again that is also not Treyarch's fault and I feel that it's well worth it. It is a much better value than MW2 was at launch, and is overall a better game.

People are too harsh~

EDIT: People also seem to forget that CoD 4's launch was not perfect either. Snipe's were completely broken until the 1.3 patch and there was a slew of other little bugs/nuances as well. The same applies to BC2.

The killcam is 100% smooth for me, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
 
I dont know about the killcam in normal servers but the HC final killcam is extremely buggy still (at least for me)

I still think WaW was the best CoD game. Der Reese was the best zombie map and the general structure of the multiplayer game was very conducive to my style of play.
 
Much props to Treyarch.

This game was VERY buggy for me at first, and I am still having some issues... but I am still having a blast playing it and just went Prestige last night.

I come from a competitive gaming background with Unreal Tournament 99 - 2k4, and was part of a team that held the #1 slot on TWL for CTF for a while. Fast paced arcade style shooters are where my heart lays, and this game takes me back to that style of play.

MW2 had potential, but did not come anywhere near meeting it. BO slays MW2 imo.

Couldn't agreed more. MW2 was shit compared to cod4 and WaW .

I like WWII, so naturally the settings and the weaponry of WaW are my favorite but as far as the overall product goes BOPS is better and should be because it's technically the sequel to WaW. I do like that there are some bolts in BOPS.
 
I'd appreciate Treyarch if they actually made an attempt to make a unique game but all they did was re-skin COD:WaW. woopy.. put out the effort ya get peoples appreciation. put out another re-skinned game with 0 creativity for an extra buck you get nothing. maybe if the game was sold at 30 bucks i might change my mind but at 60 bucks it aint going to happen.

I never played WaW so this is a new game to me. I have been pleased with it so far. the main thing I like is the ability to play on maps I like, like Nuketown.
In MW2 I liked the Airport map but some nights I wouldn't get to play it once, just wouldn't show up in the rotation.
 
I appreciate how they optimized the engine for better graphics and destructible environments. I do like the game, but they are far from the recognition they deserve for pushing pc further.

Have you played black ops? There's plenty of things done different between WaW and Black Ops, and even all the other CoD's for that matter.

There's an interesting twist to Zombies, the money system for perks, theatre, wager matches etc. They pushed CoD in new directions wether or not it's a tired brand.
 
Again, this is an APPRECIATION thread, post your hate comments in the other billion threads that are around here.

I for one am liking the game and I sure hope they add some sort of party system or atleast allow us to change teams to play with friends.

Exactly, the garbage they put out for server admins is atrocious. that rcon is a complete joke.
 
edit/delete button, you can use it you know.

People just don't read the thread topic anymore :confused:

There are definitely aim bots out there. I am 100% positive I came across one. And yes, the killcam sucks ass.

As for appreciation... I don't know if I should be expected to appreciate Treyarch. They should be appreciating me for giving them my money. I do expect a certain level of post launch support as well as ongoing support. Fix the current bugs, new bugs, and get rid of the cheats and hacks. They should also tweak gameplay and weapons if needed. To me that's just customer service.

I will say that they did do a good job with the single player campaign even though some elements were not completely original, the big "twist" near the end not excluded. For those that have played through it you know what I'm talking about.

I did enjoy the return of some other characters who shall not be named as to not spoil anything for anyone. Again people who have played it know which characters I'm talking about.

I was disappointed with the final "victory" scene. I won't risk spoiling anything so I'll just leave it at that.

IMO Best things Treyarch ever did were CoD:UO and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, everything else they did was a load of shit in comparison.
They should stop sucking dick and make games again, proper games.

I've not touched the SP past the first mission, I plan on saving that for a rainy day and I'm not doubting there's aimbots out there, I know there are, I just haven't encountered any yet.
