IP is 173.199.90.39:3074, but you most likely have to find it in list (unranked) since they took out /connect (WTF?)
using /addfavourite 173.199.90.39:3074 might work
I'd hop on but console seems broken to me, any command in input has zero output.

I had a bunch of issues as did others that i was playing with. I'm seriously considering returning this tomorrow - Single player i found to be pretty meh compared to MW2 and multi definitely isn't living up. Considering they priced this at 65$ canadian (5$ more than regular) i expect perfection....this is a worse game than MW/MW2.

So far i'm pretty disappointed but iI'm going to wait until the first patch before I decide to write this game off as trash forever. 20fps when I should be getting 200 is ridiculous
This game is better than MW2 in all aspects. MW2's single player was incredibly boring and I don't know why people think it doesn't compare.
There is a performance issue right now for PC but once that's out of the way, this is probably the best CoD since 4. There's so much stuff that is fixed coming from MW2 in the MP it's not even funny. So much more balanced, diverse and fun from day one.
What really baffles me kennigit is why you think $5 entitles you to a perfect game.
As for the performance issue, there's reason to believe it's a steam problem. I can see the game overloading the steam cloud which would have been undetectable/unpredictable in any reasonable testing environment. There was no real need for a stress test because most of the server loads are isolated to 18 man servers. The rest of the server load is from steam cloud which Treyarch don't control. If this is the case, we're not waiting for a patch, we're waiting for steam to upgrade their server farm.

yeah they have problems with the server all my drivers are fully updated. As for multiplayer everytime once a battle goes my fps drops from 100 to 35 I was like what!!!! I even put com_fpsmax 1000 to get my fps up but yeah I gonna wait for this patch.
EB in Canada sometimes does a "gaming guarantee" where they'll take a console game back within 1 week of release for a refund in credit, but that's only if you pre-ordered and only for specific games they tell you in advance about. They only do it on games that they expect are unlikely to be returned, like Final Fantasy XIII, or games that they think will have a strong used sales market (since they only lose $5 per copy returned as they'll sell it for $5 less as a used copy).
I haven't been disappointed in all in the MP (haven't tried SP yet) but the PC support is pretty atrocious. I fixed the lag by dropping resolution to 1080x768 but the Server Browser/Friends system is absymal. It's clearly designed for a console, which is pretty disappointing.
I have no idea why it's a forced Steam install if they're not going to use any of Steam's functionality. Trying to play games with friends is almost a chore.
Also, I think it's worth keeping in mind that weapon balance is different between Hardcore and regular mode and PC vs. PS3/Xbox. I've been playing HC TDM and things like recoil are really much less important since everyone is dead in 1-2 shots anyways. It also eliminates sniper play (although the maps do as well) and the crazy knife maniacs you see in regular TDM. It really changes the way you play (in a good way) and at the same time, makes regular mode laughably easy when you switch over.
So, I've been reading this thread and have only really seen complaints about performance issues/etc on PC.. But how do the PS3/Xbox versions compare to each other? Is either version more 'reliable' than the other?
fuck this game. just got to round 42 in zombies after playing with my friends where we got to 23 and it turns out when you play solo for some reason it takes the 23 score over the 42... fucking awesome and the leader for the first map is at 40. fuck fuck fuck. havent even touched multi/single.
Gun game is amazing. Just played a couple hours of it and it really adds a new and fun aspect to the multiplayer. Check it out if you haven't yet. I feel as though it is the best wager match they have.
As for single player-- it's pretty fun. FPS shooters Are inherently linear, but the story is pretty intriguing and is worth the playthrough. Some of the cutscenes are amazing. The pentagon and Russian roulette scenes..... Hoooohhh boi!!!
I played to level 26 today. I didn't have any issues at all with running the game on my PC, actually it runs really great, better than MW2. The interface sucks balls, friend system is stupid. They should have just used steams.
The engine feels pretty smooth except for some random skips that I get once or twice a map. I probably will play it for a month and quit, but I did the same with MW2 and ended up with 50-60 hours played according to steam. 1 dollar an hour isn't bad for video games these days.
Okay, when I played MW2's single player, all I could think of was this.
Like the designers just sat around in a room, came up with an idea and then trashed it if it didn't cause them to all yell "EXTREME!" The entire thing was so over the top that it felt forced, at least to me. Played part of COD4 single player (got to All Ghilied up, right before you take the shot) before going to get Black Ops and it felt more enjoyable... and I noticed all the stuff that was in the single player of COD4 that got added in MW2 multi, like Javelins and Stingers. And of course the several levels that got reused at Spec Ops levels (apparently you go backwards through the All Ghilied up level).
I'll post the Black Ops campaign feels like when I get around to playing it.... like in a week or two, heh.
MW2 just made me cringe, everything about it, but BO is actually pretty cool i.e. the setting, the feel of the weapons, the atmosphere. Just played my first few games on a 'promod' style server and I'll goddamn it felt just like COD4. Nice FOV, responsive, just enough recoil.
Obviously the game has technical issues, but after playing Bad Company 2, the fact that you can join a server on Day #1 is a godsend in itself.
This game has a future, for sure. All is not lost for COD.
Quickscoping overnerf means you can't really use sniper rifles anymore. I don't even want to buy this game anymore.
That guy thinks quickscoping took skill, on consoles all quick scoping did was abuse the auto aim. On console if you scope in near a targetr it automatically snaps the crosshair to them, it's pretty hilarious and it is more hilarious that console noobs think that they are actually skillful at the game by running around a map spamming scope so they can abuse auto aim and one hit kill.
Quickscoping on PC took a lot of skill. If they want to nerf the auto-aim abuse, then just nerf the console.
Did they even nerf quickscope for PC? My PC is dead so I have been without a gaming rig for about a month, so I haven't really been keeping up on this type of stuff.
edit: I guess if they did take out quickscoping on PC, it will only be a matter of time before someone fixes it in a promod version.
EDIT: if the clip doesn't work here is a the link (just type www. in front) youtube.com/watch?v=3GiGBQF8Qok
A clip of a dude quickscoping in MW2 on the PC. You can not do this in black ops, however do note that most of the shots are sped up. Also I want to point out a thing, as the above poster said, this messes with the auto aim of the sniper, on PC there was no auto aim so sometimes when trying to QS in MW2 you would experience the exact same thing that people are going mad about in black ops.
forgot to mention one thing, this game is based on the WaW engine compared to the MW2 engine, you have to somewhat lead the shots because the hitbox is very different from MW2, people have yet to fully adjust to this change as well which messes with their aim.
As for the "omg this game is flawed!!" comments, give it time, they had no beta on the PC so they had no chance to stress-test.
Please remember how games like New vegas, oblivion and to some degree even sc1 were on release.
I know what quickscoping is. I was a scope for a pretty good CoD4 team in CAL and CEVO. I was just asking if they nerfed QS in Black Ops, which I guess they did.
Seems strange they would do that when there is no auto-aim/magnetism on PC, but I am sure it will be modded for competitive play.
I don't doubt that you were good at QSing, I said in my post what they did. It's not impossible to QS on the PC version once you get used to it.
i didn't have any lag or performance issues on german servers... but i had performance issues in the video sequences of the Singleplayer lol.
and this question probably makes me look like a total noob, but where can i find the keyboard setting for this duckjump i have seen in some videos? i tried a couple settings, but i couldnt find it... thanks
