Call of Duty V10 - Hop in, there's still room in the bandwagon! - Games

I'm far from cherishing or praising the COD franchise. I enjoyed the absolute fuck out of Black Ops 1 and quite frankly it's the only one out of the series I could enjoy before now. (though I did enjoy WaW). I'm already enjoying the absolute shit out of Black Ops 2. It feels quite a bit more polished than Black Ops 1 and I love the new future-ish tech that we can use. This doesn't seem dumbed down or more gimmicky than Black Ops 1. Hell, they give even more choice when it comes to load-outs now, that to me is the opposite of dumbed down. It might be just the early buzz that's making me enjoy this so much but damn, I'm loving it. Though I have to add not having a dedicated server list annoys me, but what can you do? The rest of the game is superb.

I'm playing on PS3 and it feels much less polished. I'm sure it looks MUCH better on PC.

I don't just mean graphical-wise when I say polished either. I'm also including balance and bugs etc.

I'm getting really fucking sick of the SMG's dominating every game mode. Really fucking sick.

Seems the MP servers are down. I was able to get into a match for a few minutes, but ended up timing out and disconnecting from online.

Wow pretty dissapointed so far. Not only is MP pretty laggy and takes ages to find a 2 bar host, the zombies keeps disconnecting me half way through a game with my friends. Not even black ops' launch was this awful.

That electric zombie fucked our team BAD. He started humping the bus and our Robo-driver died from the current. The zombies then ate us alive.

The launch is fine, worked 100% perfectly yesterday.

[QUOTE=The very best;38473109]Well shit, I just picked the game up today (Australia) Least I got it cheap, hope it fixes itself though[/QUOTE] I have a feeling it won't be the last time it will mess up either. Internode don't exactly have the best track record in server stability. Again assuming that it is indeed Internode that is doing the Aussie servers. Just looked it up, it is Internode taking care of the Australian servers.

So here's how the HAHA clan works. 2 people are dedicated to run: UAV Hunter-Killer Lightning Strike Those 2 are for rushing and collecting/denying tags as much as possible. Then there are 2 others that use MSMC and get most of the kills and various damaging kill-streaks. One person runs UAV, Hunter Killer and Hellstorm, and will identify tags and organize where people need to go. And our team leader runs Lightning Strike, Warthog, and Vtol Warship. It works quite well, and it's so much fun.

Coordinated COD sounds like it could be super fun.

Is the console versions that lag, or the PC too? My PC version runs just fine. 3-4 greens across the board.

Is this one horribly unoptimized like black ops or does it run pretty well on most computers?

[QUOTE=soderholm13;38473809]Is this one horribly unoptimized like black ops or does it run pretty well on most computers?[/QUOTE] Runs 60fps on i5 2500k, 6950 and 8gb ram

[QUOTE=JoonazL;38473900]Runs 60fps on i5 2500k, 6950 and 8gb ram[/QUOTE] 60fps on a i5 2500k, 5770, and 8 gb ram also. It is so weird playing on xbox then playing on PC. Everyone on xbox plays at a slower pace most of the time, where as on PC its usually all run and gun. I like to play tactifully and check corners and what not, a tactic that's become habit from BF3, and that tactic works fine on xbox but on PC it just doesnt work. I always get killed from behind or by some kid that dolphin dives around corners.

BO2 looks quite impressive... Anyone got any links to a un bias reviews of it?

[QUOTE=soderholm13;38473809]Is this one horribly unoptimized like black ops or does it run pretty well on most computers?[/QUOTE] I have a shitty I2 and an ATI 5700, and it runs at a steady 50-60 fps with everything at max except AA It never drops below 50

Also zombies was a lot of fun, got to round 23 on farm with 3 other mates which was good. Didn't disconnect since i hosted so that went alright. Yeah i guess i was just aggravated since the blops launch was fine for me.

I saw someone complaining that Blops 2 wasnt a cod game because the weapons are balanced and there isnt a single overpowered weapon. what?

[sp]I didn't know Hudson had kids :([/sp]

I take it there's no way to get the pre-order bonuses (Nuketown 2025 and double XP weekend) without pre-ordering? I never pre-ordered, but I wouldn't mind paying some MS points. I'm sure I read something about Nuketown 2025 being included in the Season Pass? But I'm not paying £40 for it.
