Treyarch Looking Into What Went Wrong

So the long awaited and much needed patch for Treyarch’s Call Of Duty: Black Ops went live less than a day ago now, and while it was one of those few situations where players actually were waiting for a fix, they were absolutely gutted to discovered first hand that 1.04 made things worse. We Got This Covered looks at what went wrong with Treyarch's latest patch.

[Cwalk816]

More CoD drama eh, well, let's suffer through it maybe treyarch will make it up with a FREE map pack for once.

[hakis86]

I'm sorry, but I can't help regretting spending money on this game. It's fun, but that's it. And then there's all this.. buggy stuff..

Anybody heard of Modern Combat Domination?
Coming to PSN in january, with Move support. Looks a lot like Modern Warfare/MoH and it's only online..cheaper =)
I wanna try it.

[JUDALATION]

Mag is better... Its already out and 256 player battles is awesome... also you can buy it for 20 bucks...
That should hold you till Killzone 3 comes out and lays the BOOM on fps everywhere!

[StanLee]

Let's face it, Call of Duty is as big on the PS3 as it is on the XBox 360 and other games have a hard time building substantial online communities. Regardless of the problems with the game, come November, millions will be lined up for the next buggy, exploit filled iteration.

[MerkinMax]

Why do I feel like I am the only one who doesn't have problem with this game? I even play it on PS3 and have a good connection and good hit detection.

[gamerzBEreal17]

its fun and thats it
what else do u want?

[frostypants]

Why does someone have to try to pimp MAG in every FPS thread?

I love my PS3, but there's a reason why MAG is only $20...

[frostypants]

OK OK OK...
MAG's awesome. Totally. It's $20 because it's so popular.

[solar]

its not only CoD drama mate. it's more console gamers proclaiming they dont have to deal with the so called "negatives" of PC gaming drama.

installs to hard drives, connected to the internet to update unpolished products at release date due to publisher pressure, missing features and community feedback...etc.

PC gamers dont hate all of you console gamers, we are used to this treatment....we just laugh when you bitch about it when we have been dealing with progressive tech years before you have....HF!!! :D

[thebudgetgamer]

eh it's the life.

[evrfighter]

There goes that whole "with console gaming u just pop it in and it works." It's funnier because on pc if something doesn't work u Google your problem and get it fixed by someone who's had ur problem.

On the console your at the mercy of the developer/publisher. No options no workaround.

[frostypants]

PC gamers patch the source code themselves? I don't think so. Not typically. At least I haven't in my 15 years of PC gaming.

[BlackKnight]

Frosty,

You don't even know what source code is...Source code stays at the developer. We get "compiled" code. And you don't always have to change the "code" of the game. Sometimes it's config files we tweak, or change video card settings, etc. There are many things that can be done. I own all PC, 360 and ps3 and quite frankly, PC gamers have a lot more choices when it comes to dealing with bugs or things not working. With consoles, you just have to wait for a patch, which might not be that long for some fixes, while others take months or never get fixed.

EDIT: For example, Bad Company 2 for the PC, PC gamers noticed the mouse didn't feel right. Upon looking at config files, it is found the Dice implemented a "negative acceleration" for the mouse to smooth the mouse movement, however, for beginners this is nice and less spastic, but for seasoned PC gamers, it feels unresponsive. Myself, and many others, removed the effects of negative acceleration and now the mouse handles like most PC games like COD or Source games and so on...

And still this option hasn't been added in a patch to disable.

[BeOneWithTheGun]

It's not hard to understand what happened. Treyarch did a crappy port to the PS3 and didn't bother to put some time and money to ensure it would run properly. Now, they are scrambling to do damage control.

In 2006, they could have gotten away with this. In 2010, with a PS3 user base rivaling 360 they shot themselves in the foot. PS3 gamers are not reliant on a COD shooter to hold them over for a year.

We don't need them. We have so many exclusives coming out the last thing any respected PS3 owner is going to do is drop 60 bucks on another COD abortion.

Fuck Treyarch. You payed to play and lost. Have fun making your crappy games for the 360. We need none of what you offer.

[willie32]

People need to quite playing online to show everyone's true frustrations. Why don't they implement dedicated servers for the PS3? In all honesty, I really don't care what happens with this game. I have given up hope and 2-22-11 can't come soon enough!

[AKS]

They DID get away with it in 2010, and they'll get away with it again in 2011 and 2012. I was done with CoD as soon as the story broke about Kotick sacking Infinity Wards top guys, but it's obvious that even many gamers here on this website bought it anyway, reinforcing and encouraging more of this behavior in the future. They focused on the 360 version because they know they'll rake in a mountain of cash from the 360 crowd. They just want the cash, and people just keep forking it over.

[garrod]

Couldn't have said it any better myself. But seriously the wait for LBP 2 and Deadspace 2 and Killzone 3 is killing me! lol

[BeOneWithTheGun]

@garrod: Brotha, I want LBP and KZ3 so bad it's not even funny. I lucked out and got the india account thing for the KZ3 beta. Let me tell you this: It is so awesome you forget to breathe. The build was Alpha and it wipes the floor with any other shooter. Mechs, jetpacks and maps the size of Texas.

I'm DYING to get the retail copy in Feb.

Add me, amigo. BeOneWithTheGun PSN.

[Thepro318]

i would agree with that statement but COD4 MW2 and WaW are top selling games on ps3

[monkpunk1]

free, thats not in activisions vocabulary.

I will play mw3 for the finale to the story not touch the online and hang up my cod experiience.

I feel that the bubble is bursting on cod with so many new shooters available and becoming available in the next year....

[tacosRcool]

Activision couldn't allow free map packs with the price of 1 map pack 1/4 the cost of the game

[KingZFlipper]

@Cwalk816.. Free map packs from Activi$ion is never going to happen. They're probably gonna make 3 new maps and slap 1200MS points on the DLC

[RustInPeace]

@Cwalk
I HIGHLY doubt ANYTHING free from Acti will come to us (or anyone for that matter...) On a side note, my PS3 died while trying to play this game last week (as in the power light won't turn on at all), and all I am hearing is this patch has made things worse. I am one of the users who was having trouble playing (on a launch 60GB *REFURBISHED*, now trading for new slim) so to hear that things have gotten worse can only spell despair for the people experiencing these problems. How is it that a patch that goes from the devs to TESTERS (QA) and there are still horrendous problems like system freezes/crashes? How is it that the people who made W@W, which ran perfectly fine, could mess up on such a grand scale? (ESPECIALLY on the PC no less... Isn't the coding & most of the work done on PCs to begin with? HOW CAN THAT BE JUST AS BAD?!)

[madjedi]

The ps3 and 360 version are made on their respective consoles development kit not on a pc. How they release a patch that makes it even worse, not enough testing i guess.

[zeddy]

mw2 wad also bad but this is something else, never again will i purchase another treyarch product.

[crzyjackbauer]

Treyarch sucks
WAW is a copy and paste job
and so is BO

and lets not forget the horrible job they did with COD3
they should go back and make spiderman games not COD

[Vherostar]

What went wrong?? Hmm how about you are a bunch of untalented useless devs that are hanging onto Activions big brand coat tails. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... All there games minus COD are ports near enough.. Useless developer who needs to be shown for what they really are..

[mcsm]

@frostypants cause its been nearly out for a whole year?

[LOOK_AT_THIS_I]

lmao....FREE Map Pack???? This is Activision we are talking about, they would charge you for the shirt your characters wearing in the game if they could. I guess while the 360 players will rush out and scoop up the map packs with the timed exclusivity again maybe the ps3 crowd will take that as a sign to jump on board another franchise releasing the first quarter next year.

This game has been a broken mess due to the lack of testing on the ps3, I expected it somewhat and still fell for it to have a game to play with the friends and still cannot join a party or game with over half of them. The COD franchise can crash and burn now, I am done buying another half assed attempt at a game that clearly puts more effort into the other versions merely for a quick paycheck hopefully other ps3 gamers realize this and stop throwing millions of dollars away when all you are going to get is a sloppy ass port and lots of frustration due to bad consumer support.

[RacingLightning01]

I don't understand why everyone runs out to get the Latest CoD every year anyway. there is never anything innovative, or new. Just the same old Run & Gun, let the killstreaks take care of the rest BS.

Even if all you play on is the PS3, there were so many better titles released this year. Not to mention the lineup of great games coming in the first qaurter of 2011.

[Bleucrunch]

its a noob game that doesnt require skill to play..its an arcade shooter that is why people love it so much....everyone likes easy things to do....

[princejb134]

killzone 3
here i come

[TheGameFoxJTV]

Nope,you guys keep buying the CoD games no matter what; so they are allowed to fuck you as much as they please. AND YOU WILL STILL BUY THE NEXT GAME.

[TheHip14]

Haha I haven't noticed anything wrong with the patch yet but I'm on 360, not PS3

[th3soldier]

That's because the problems are contained to the PS3 version. OP should state that in the summary.

EDIT: Actually, it's not a summary, it says PS3 in the category though.

[AkimboUSPs]

More reasons for fanboys to argue, yay!

[avroth16]

glad i own a 360

[sdtarm]

glad i stopped caring about CoD since BF BC2

[xDaRkModEx]

im glad i own a pc... oh wait nvm..

[cyborg6971]

I'm glad your on your fifth 360 as well.

[jmallymav]

glad im on my 1st xbox360 since 2008, take care of mines.
glad im on my ps3 since 2009, take care of mines.
glad im on my wii since 2010, take care of mines.
tell ppl not to quit games =, or get mad when they lose by snatching out their internet cord, or disrupt their disc.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR SYSTEMS!!
most people break their games, bcz they are soure losers.
last system that messed up for me is PS2, infamous disc read error.(probably should have tooken care of it better)

[Elvfam511]

Glad I watched pee wee in my childhood... Oh I mean rocko modern life

[ChozenWoan]

Lone Ranger for me bro. ;P

[Doctorofreality]

Funk-king stupid, back to brotherhood for me. HOw they they mess up a patch?

[awesomeperson]

Don't you have another good online game to play?

[TheHip14]

with a game this big I'm sure they'll fix it very soon

[FunAndGun]

Why, because you didn't already give them $60?

Same thing will happen to the next CoD game, and the next and the next.

[Scotland-Tha-Brave]

im not so sure that they will fix it soon, thats the fourth patch out and fuck all has been done. it will be another month to wait for a non working patch

[garos82]

im still waiting for them to fix cod 4, havent been able to play a game online for months. and i know its not my ps3 or connection since i can game online with ALL my other games.

so yeah screw activision,infity ward and treyarch, money grabbing lazy bastards

[RaymondM]

I'm actually so glad i didn't buy back ops. With all of the problems its too much of a hassle to bother with

[darksied]

True. Too many games coming out have major game breaking bugs in them, I'm surprised MS and Sony allow them to be sold on their systems. This is the kind of thing that should be caught by the developer QA before it goes out. This is especially happening for online shooters; c'mon, these aren't MMORPG's, they aren't that deep. It shouldn't be that hard to get them to work properly (especially since this dev just ported the game over from Infinity Ward's work).

[Newtype]

Sold my copy, I'm not buying anymore COD games. You know they are just bullshitting the PS3 version all the time. I'll stick with better games, like Killzone and Resistance.

[JUDALATION]

DUDE YOU ARE SOO CORRECT! Killzone 3 will be sick!

[BeOneWithTheGun]

I've played the beta and you have no idea how correct you are, Judalation. It is beyond epic. KZ3 is to Multiplayer as Uncharted 3 is to Single Player. Beyond comprehension.

[vickers500]

I'll stick with all of them. All 3 franchises provide something unique, something each of them don't have. Resistance provides that scifi battlefield kind of fun, Killzone provides that ultra realistic gorgeous kind of fun, and Call of Duty provides that intense continuous fast paced action kind of fun.

One of the reasons Call of Duty hasn't been topped yet is because it's one of the extremely few fast paced shooters found on consoles (there aren't many, and the ones that are there aren't very good, like UT3). That's a big reason why you don't see a very big shift from Call of Duty to Battlefield players, it's because the majority of people prefer a fast paced more reaction based FPS over a slower, yet more tactical game such as Bad Company.

Killzone is getting closer to taking out Call of Duty, and it's obvious they're taking a more CoD approach (while not messing too much with the skill required to play the game).

As for Resistance, well, if Resistance 3 is anything like the first one, then Killzone and Call of Duty can kiss my a$$.

[cyclindk]

Uh, crappy garbage port for 500 Alex.

PC versions sux too though so its pretty pathetic all around even with max settings.

[XI_-Minty-_IX]

Haha, I feel bad for the people who paid for Black Ops, regardless whether they're on PC, 360, or PS3 (it's still a bad game either way.) Kinda stopped caring about CoD after 4 and has been on the Battlefield train since. :-D

[DarkFantasy]

what a mess..did they even test it before they released this or what come on treyarch!.

[SKUD]

Due to contract bindings between MS / Activision it was stated that the PS3 version NOT be tested.

[yourusernamesucks]

I haven't had a single issue with BO on PS3, not one single issue whatsoever..... MW and MW2, well that's a different story, tons of lag there. I don't know what the problem is for most of you. I live in the heart of Dallas/Ft. Worth, maybe it's your location. All I know is it's been fine for me and my peers. I feel your pain though, there shouldn't be problems for anyone. I would be just a pissed as you guy's, and I was plenty of times with MW and MW2. I hope I don't have all of these problems.

[eX-GREED]

F*ck that, I'm from Dallas too and the sh*t has hit the fan with Black Ops. By the way I have a 20mbs service (U-verse) so I don't have much lag. But bugs and glitches are riding my online experiences' d*ck. I can't believe I prestige 4 times with the issues that plague the game. I must be mentally retarded, really. (On a unrelated note) I don't mean to be rude bro but "Dallas/Ft. Worth" is lame you're either from one or the other... ^_^

P.S. Fix the fixes of the fixes Treyass..

[younglj01]

lol maybe HHG was right about MS and Activision.

[CaliGamer]

This game when wrong when they decided to make the thing. SUCKS.

[tdogg06051991]

I NEVER COMPLANED ABOUT A GAME I BOUGHT ONLINE UNTIL NOW, the update has turned this game upside down on PS3, LAG, LOBBY GLITCHES AND MORE LAG there servers went from good to fucke its crap now and they need to either fix it or downgrade.

[eX-GREED]

I think I rather play the Wii version now...

(obviously joking)

[etownone]

Keep hope alive fellas!!

http://news.softpedia.com/n...

LMAO!!!

[Trytobee1]

lol

[Sub-Zero85]

This patch is horrible the sound is breaking up bad ..... on top of that the screen gave staic poped out then came back , this game is CRAP I will be trading this game in as soon as I get a chance tomorrow

[BYE]

Do people still play this game?

[jack who]

glad i own a 360

[SpitFireAce85]

No one cares except you..

[SSKILLZ]

awww dude you own a 3!!60!!!! i feel so sad for you bro !!!
omg that's heart breaking, por guy hes not gonna enjoy 2011 like all the rest of the Ps3 owners. .....................LMAO

[Undeadwolfy]

^Epic comment is EPIC

[jacobie74]

DAMN MAN YOU GUYZ SIAD THAT IN 08 09 AND NOW 2011 IM TIERD OF THAT SAME OL CRAP ...OH IN 2011 WE GO DO THIS WE GO DO THAT YOU GUYZ ARE NOT GOING TO DO NOTHING BUT SIT THERE AND COMPLAIN ON SOMTHING ABOUT THE GAME DEV AND ITS REALY THE SYSTEM WHY CUZ SONY SUCK AT FPS GAMES SO STOP BUMPING YOUR GUMES

[femshep]

the day they said let us make a Call of duty game.....and now were here FOUND IT

[spektical]

thers just too may glitches and bugs plaguing COD. Again a full fledged beta would have cleared out the big bugs/glitches, but Activision wants the title right off the line.

[scar20]

Dude, they will never do that cuz if people get a taste of the game and they don't like it activision will miss out on sales and kotick won't like that so that's why they don't have betas.

[earbus]

Im enjoying it but im a treyarch fan cod3 loved it 38,000 kills online bo online is better than waw 360 version runs great.

[Mmmkay]

how does one become a treyarch fan?

[earbus]

By playing their games loved quantum of solace,cod 3 ,waw and black ops, got the 360 ,ps3 ,and pc of qauntum 360 is best version as pc qte sux with the mouse really spoilt the game ps3 version is good and still play it often thanks for asking.

[Bolts]

That's what went wrong.

[GoldPS3]

I just got through playing KZ2. I was str8 up beasting. I don't see why a PS3 owner would care for COD when KZ3 coming.

[SSKILLZ]

we don't ,but we bought it and i expect those freaking treyarch chimps to start baking up a new patch because the online is broken, but soon this game will convert it self to store credit soooon!!!

[BMS84]

Imo Black Ops is a good game, and KZ3 isn't out yet.

[Undeadwolfy]

Heres how it is. Black Ops has/had the potential to be a great game. They got rid of horrible quickscoping,One Man Army, Unlimited Noob Tubes and grenades, Spawn Tubing, Commando, Deathstreaks, Nuke and added Gun Customization, Emblems, some player customization, moar zombies (i dont like the maps so much but thats juts me), Dead Ops arcade.

But the online is broken as of now.... I cant count how many times my PS3 has frozen. YES FROZEN!!! I have had countless PSN disconnections (trust me, not my internet connection, only happens on Black Ops) and cant even finish a wager match or multiplayer game and even if I do, its constant [Connection Interrupted] followed by 20 second freeze 2 minute gameplay and repeat till end....

If all these problems were/are fixed, it could be a better game than MW2 ever was. The biggest let downs however are:

1. Graphics
2. 360 Features that we dont get (dual PSN Sign in, Auto MP boot-up)
3. Online problems (mentioned above)

[Nightshadow]

I do feel bad for those who did purchase this game, a patch that doesn't fix the main issues... that's terrible. Back to Bad Company 2 for me.

[Thoreau]

treyarch did not understand how to dev for the ps3. i played this morning, codbo froze and lagged. this is not the same treyarch team that dev. codwaw. infinite ward proved that they are the better developers in this case.

[jmallymav]

played recently on my ps3
the party system is fixed for me, i havent been dropped from my party in any match i played so far.
but the connection, and migrating host stuff is a real pain.
i could have played like 10-15 games, out of that probably played like 5-7 full games... BTW..thats not good

[DFresh]

It's so sad what the Call of Duty franchise has turned into.
I remember playing the original COD on PC it was epic.
Later on I forgot about the franchise.
Bought a PS3 saw COD4 bought it and was hooked.
Started to buy COD games on a yearly base until MW2 came out I was just pissed off.
But I thought I'd give Treyarch a chance to prove themselves.
Treyarch has failed to make COD epic for me again.
I'll be selling all of the COD games except COD4 and invest it towards buying other games on Goozex.
Activision clearly doesn't care about making great games only looking for a cash cow and screwing over their fans.
As a PS3/PC gamer I feel like I got robbed on both MW2 and now Black Ops.
I'm now seriously not gonna buy anymore COD games ever again and will be playing bigger and better games moving forward.
COD4 still remains the best in the franchise.

[DarthBigE]

MAYBE THEY COULD HAVE FIXED THIS A LONG LONG TIME AGO IF THEY HAD AN OPEN BETA! BUT NO, NOW THEY HAVE TO FIX IT ON THE GO.

[bunfighterii]

Black Ops hasn't been fixed at all. Frame rate is screwed, and you can't stay in a lobby or party at all.

NOT HAPPY.

I'm not buying another COD game, ever.

[siberian-bullet]

Everything has settled down for me. Lag better, freezing gone and jump rate is now steady.

So god knows

[SuperbVillain]

I think it's safe to say this is my last Call of Duty purchase.Black Ops is better than MW2 gameplay and balance wise,but it's still more of the same.Killzone 3 ftw!

[hamburger123]

They made the game thats where it went wrong

[csreynolds]

Don't get Treyarch to fix it; they're the incompetent morons that cocked it up in the first place! Fancy coding a patch to install in game save data as opposed to system data... FAIL!

Bring in Infinity Ward I say.

[trainsinrdr]

TO ALL YOU CASUAL GAMERS WHO THINK CALL OF DUTY ROCKS JUST BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS SAID IT DOES READ THIS:

Heres a list of games that are better (honestly) which are already out and which will be out soon and yes they all have multiplayer:

Killzone 2
Bad company 1
Bad company 2 (funnest fps game ever)
Resistance 2
MAG
Killzone 3
Resistance 3
Homefront
Crysis
Brink
Cant comment on bulletstorm yet but id probably risk my life thats its better
And medal of honor is kinda like a failed cod wannabe so i wont say that

[madjedi]

"And medal of honor is kinda like a failed cod wannabe so i wont say that"

Wannabe cod hardly plays more like bc2 in smaller maps, than run and gun casual central cod, ie teamwork is very important if you want to win.

I do love the irony in calling moh a cod wanna be, when most idiot cod gamers out there don't know the moh series predates cod. Look up moh allied assault.

[trainsinrdr]

i know that medal of honor predates cod but my point is that ea stated beforehand that they want to take the crown of fps from activision therefore they want to be the new cod not gameplay wise and it didint do so well xD

[AllroundGamer]

normally this kind of behaviour and results of work would make people fired...

[R_aVe_N]

Maybe they should look into programming better? I am just saying do it right the first time and you don't have to worry about it later.

[SnakeShady]

Hope that everyone at Gayarch will die in a fire.

[manky]

Glad to see none of you are taking it personally...

It's a none starter for me, as I have it on 360. My PS3 never gets used. It's sinking.

[Damiann]

What went wrong that since the patch is that BO is hardly playable.. My PS3 keeps freezing and if somebody leaves a match the connection interrupts..

[Wizziokid]

what went wrong?? simples your forgot you had a PS3 audience.

[SnakeShady]

the only thing that went wrong with this cod it's that treyarch is the developer.

[XI_-Minty-_IX]

What went wrong here is Treyarch's incompetence as a developer and nothing more...

[belowradar]

I haven't had any real issues as of late with COD BO. The occasional lag. I am playing on my 360 though. My biggest issue was with parties not being able to connect to any games or when attempting to connect to a match type getting completely booted from party. This was only happening when the servers were hit with over 1 million users.
I would've bought/gamefly'd the PS3 version but none of my closest friends got it. Their still playing MAG.
What gets me is that for months leading up to the release everyone was moaning about no beta testing and kept saying their weren't gonna buy the latest version of COD, but now months later all those haters broke down and bought it and now are complaining because they got burnt by Activision/Treyarch; all the while knowing that this would likely happen.
I'm not defending Treyarch at all, quite the opposite. I feel for any gamer whether it by pc, ps3 or 360 user that buys a game that is broken from the get go. Completely uncalled for especially when it's a AAA title.
I say speak with your wallet and not buy any DLC and trade in the game if you don't see any point in playing it. Forums do nothing but breed hostility and elitism. Write a well thought out letter to Treyarch HQ and let them know your disappointment.
Last rant here. The unfortunate aspect of this is that only a small part of the community actually has somewhere to go complain to. So many sheep are just gonna gobble up this and then wonder why the game is broken this holiday season.
Hopefully the devs can figure out wtf they can do to fix the ps3's issues soon. You guys deserve better than to have a sh*t port especially this late in the console cycle.

[EscoBlades]

Bwhahaha! trey fail again!

This brings a smile to my face :D

[Valkyre]

And yet people continue to buy it!!

oh the irony....

serves you right for doing the same mistake every single year.... like a bot...

[xtremegamerage]

That's actually true what you stated about looking for fixes.

But if people never bought buggy crap in the first place?

[Xander756]

When are people going to learn Treyarch is a BAD developer. All their games are bad. Quantum of Solace - bad. Spider Man Web of Shadows - bad. Call of Duty 3 - bad. World at War - average at best. Black Ops - bad.

[apocalypse73]

let it be 360 exclusive,they need it.we have socom,killzone 2 and 3,mag,ect,ect

[LOOK_AT_THIS_I]

I remember when Socom Confrontation came out and needed patch after patch after patch. The community was a lynch mob for slant 6, I was a part of it for damn near destroying one of my beloved franchises in Socom. Eventually they ironed things out and made a somewhat decent game. It still has its issues but they were a first time dev on the ps3 with a limited budget. The thing that gets me is that these guys have been working on the ps3 since damn near release of the console and still cant get things right. I realize programming for the consoles is difficult, hence I am not a game designer but how in the hell does Sony not make these idiots jump through all the hoops to release working patches that they put under scrutiny like they did with Socom. If the patch doesnt work and further screws up a part of the game how did it slip past. I smell shenanigans. They are experienced developers on the ps3 not a brand new company and still have all the party issues, screen tearing, menus bugging out, and laggy gameplay.

Heres an idea how about instead of porting from the xbox with what seems like wii graphics you build the game from the ground up on the ps3 and try to make a decent game for that console. Damn I hate myself for purchasing this game. IF it wasnt for the combat training and zombie modes this game would be thrown back at amazon for trade credit. Like a lemming I know I was part of the problem for buying it to play with my friends, maybe others who fell into it again will rent it first next time or better yet avoid it like the plague.

Treyarch, Activision and any other lazy ass developer trying to make a quick buck with a cheap broken port you can all piss off.

[CaptainPunch]

I getting sick of being kicked out of games because of the bad connection. I'm waiting for Test Drive: Unlimited 2 to come out, and then after that Uncharted 3 for my online needs.

[LevDog]

Ok.. Not trying to do a comparison but seriously.. Resistance 2 and Mag.. HUGE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER NO LAG.. COD only 6v6 in almost all games minus ground war.. repeat 6 people vs 6 people.. and there is this many problems plus lag..

You have to be a damn idiot to mess that up now a days.. especially since other games default is 8v8 and lagless.. but yours is 6v6 is 2 people less then the norm and has 10 times more problems.. Really?

plus you didnt fix the knife.. Well you fixed the actual lunge part.. but now a normal knife swipe is killing people 20 feet in from of them.. 20 foot arms?

COD is an amazing concept of a game.. But lets be serious.. Could you imagine what PS3 devs could do with a game like that if it was exclusive.. .. If zipper got a hold of it..

[Gamer112]

The xbox version is sweet :) cant say the same about the port version tho ..

[jacobie74]

can anyone say XBOX360 no problems sony fan boyz are mad cuz they might have to convert to the enemy to play a decent game.. damn... it feels good to have a 360 while sony fan boyz cry over something that they cant enjoy but i am and loving it this is like the 3rd time this weak sony been having problems wit a game that shoud clearly be a xbox only game. sony sucks at fps the controller are to sucky for fps killzone 2 4 buttons to aim and shoot come on and its just not enjoyable

[Gamer112]

Better watch out because the ps3 fanfaggots will cry because they dont know what the word truth is.

HAHA.. Cod is fun but it isnt enough to buy a worthless console for one Multiplat game.. When you get another exclusive game that isnt Gears or Halo and is actually worth a damn let me know..

[Damiann]

Just went online again, 4 times a freeze in less than an hour, it's crazy. Why can't treyarch just release the old patch (before 1.04) and than fix all the issues.

[BMS84]

Yep 3arc made so much money.JUST FIX IT!

[Vesemir]

They can look all they want, they won't find. Apparently they don't know what they are coding.
Send some Konami coders to help those poor guys.

It's ok, I don't mind.... I didn't buy it!

I used to play the shit out of COD4, I then also played alot of MW2 but got bored of it and chopped it in and got Bad Company 2.
I thought about getting Black-ops but when it dropped I just didn't want it.

I think it would be a good thing if the sales of COD go downhill from here.... don't get me wrong I am not a COD hater, it can be a slick and fun game, but the following has got too big and now the company just keep looking for ways to rip you off.... if it takes a fall it will ensure more FPS's trying something different and keep things competitive!

I am looking forward to checking out Homefront... hopefully they don't fuck it up!

The number one must rent game of the year, only rent because it has to many problems to make you want to waste money on it.

I haven't brought it yet, but it doesn't help that I been trying to get alot of the older games I never got around to buying.

[hiredhelp]

And medal of honor got knocked. ha ha. typical cod games ever since they hit consoles. theyve had nuffin but issues. patches updates. only most of them dont work or make things like this one worse.

I SAY spend decent time on testing games b4 the launch test a patch if a patch is needed do not rush it out.

you demand to increase the retail rice to suite your pockets this kinda shit happens every cod game. wtf the worst thing is another cod come along you see some early footage and screenshots go WOW THIS GONNA BE AWSOME.

Next Call of Duty title:

Call of Duty: Modern Fanboy 360

[divideby0]

repeat of Socom with Slant 6
just another lazy a$$, cheap and incompetent developer who didnt test the game out prior to release
Slant 6 pulled the same crap with Socom for over a year.. put out a patch and make the game worse
I am so glad I didnt buy this version of COD... the madden of shooters

[hiredhelp]

Slant 6 was a SUB dev for socom there not the main devs for the main socoms' they have made few.

and yes confrontation was crap i just cant wait for socom 4 cos it looks like the team the proper team devs have made it back. and this time with a good engine. lets hope its a strong game with SP and MP. and move compatible awsome.

The biggest problem I seem to have with online games using my PS3 is the NAT type my router is using. I have the problem more so with Linksys. I've always had this issue with COD games but have learned to setup my PS3 in the DMZ. Problem solved for me at least. Hope that helps someone out there.

[divideby0]

we have 2 linksys routers (G and N) and I dont need to DMZ the PS3 to play any game. also using the default PS3 network settings.. All my net devices are hardwired... rather string cable than use wireless

[KillingAllFanboys]

Can we all just calm down this is only a COD game....at least unlike IW they are trying to fix these bugs and issues fast to the PS3 owners. I know they did bad on graphics but really does graphics matter that much? What really should matter if you having fun with the game? If your not having fun or dont have the game go play something else...not that hard.

[reptus]

hahaha sucked in. COD sucks. its for FPS noobs.

[MilkMan]

NOTHING IS WRONG.
The directive came down from Bobby K. to make it more like Modern Warfare 2 cause Machinama and 2 year old kids couldn't "no-scope".
SO 3Arc did as they where told.
Never mind that they wanted to do a better game, never mind that they purposefully wanted to segregate the crap from the folks that wanted to have a decent time.
Guess when your ass is on the line, integrity has to go.
So in the next patch they'll add nukes (or atomic's) few more glitches and bugs, oh and one man army.
soon to be followed by grenade rapage.
Activision has fucked this series us as they do with everything else.
I already sold my copy of Black Ops. It was fun before the 1.04 disaster. I didn't want to play MW2.

Brink is on my radar and so is Homefront. Battlefield 2 & Medal of Honor will hold me down and quite frankly there are tooooo many games coming out for me to worry about this silly ass game.
