Late last night, Valve announced on Twitter that Black Ops would be having a free weekend! Those who have not had the chance yet to be disappointed by the game, can now have the pleasure!
The trailer has only been out for a couple of days now and already people are calling for the game to be banned as they feel that a scene from the trailer depicts real events which happened in the July 7th London bombings. Don’t these people understand that it’s a damn game? Not to mention, it’s aimed at adults only which will most likely mean it will be tagged with an 18 rating, so shouldn’t be sold to anyone under age!
What I find quite comical about their outrage is the fact that they have completely missed the fact that it’s a game, based on a fictional world war 3 scenario, which was started by the Russians! Please, someone, slap these stupid people! It’s a fucking game, not real life!
Treyarch have finally announced the arrival of the infamous Black Ops DLC for the PC platform that we have been waiting for ever since they released it for the Xbox 360 back on February 1st, and the long awaited 1.07 update which will hopefully fix the many performance issues that they didn’t correct before release.
Unfortunately along with the news that the DLC is finally coming, we have been told that the DLC will not be free and we will need to pay £11.49 if bought after release or with the 10% off pre-release special, £10.34. Which ever way you look at it, you will be paying a third of the price you paid for the original game.
All this DLC will have is 5 new maps for the multiplayer side of the game, is it really worth what they are asking? Although reluctant, I will be buying as I don’t like to have games with parts missing. If I own something, I might as well own it all even if it is blind robbery!
Once again I am pissed off because of Call of Duty: Black Bug Ops. Before today I have not bothered to play through single player because of the amount of bugs that the game has. Today I thought “fuck it, I’m going to have a go!”
I loaded up the game, sat through the annoying torture cut scenes only to get to an area of the game right at the beginning where I am unable to go any further.
You would think that it was a simple little bug that the AI can’t handle and restarting the area where this happens would be the solution, but no! It keeps happening over and over again!
Eventually after around 40 minutes of trying to get the AI not to get stuck, I eventually found a way. I have to run way ahead of the AI and make sure I killed everyone very quickly and then I finally managed to get past it and on to the next level.
These bugs should not be in the game. Its a simple AI problem. From what I remember, with most AI systems, you have to program a path way for them to follow, or “areas” where they are allowed to be. Surely this wshould not beyond the capabilities of the developers?
I thought I had posted this when I uploaded it to Youtube, I guess not! Well, here it is, enjoy!
Treyarch have finally released their 1.06 patch for Call of Duty: Black Bug Ops. Unfortunately it’s not the update I was expecting. Treyarch keep releasing a large “in progress” list and then only do a few updates at a time.
Fair enough, they are now starting to fix the bugs with Black Ops, but why keep promising that they are going to give us features that have been in the Xbox 360 version for some time now! I was really looking forward to the dolly cam and the fix for the red diamond that appears when in the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner.
There are still a few bugs with Black Ops which have not been addressed in the latest patch. A few of these are listed below,
Anyway, the patch has now been released. Lets just hope they have fixed more things than they broke / not fixed!
I recently decided to go back and play some Call of Duty 4. Why I hear you ask, well, its because I am starting to get bored with Call of Duty: Black Ops.
It’s not just the debilitating problems that the game has with reliability, but also with the way Treyarch are handling the problems. It seems that all they are concerned about is their precious Xbox 360 version. Off topic as that may seem. It turns out when I loaded up Call of Duty 4 I had problems.
I loaded it up, set up my profile and then proceeded to connect to a server. I would refresh the server list and nothing. Nothing happened! After about 5 minutes thinking the problem was my end, I went looking online. My first conclusion, after eliminating my computer was that there was a problem with the Master Server.
No servers were coming up! No matter how many times I clicked refresh!
What is the Mater Server, I hear you ask. Every time a game server is started up, it broadcasts out its ip to a “master server”. The master server stores this information for periods of time. When a user wants to join a game, the game pings the master server to get a list of servers that are available to join.
Obviously, there has been a problem some where, and I’m not too sure what it is or how to completely eradicate it. The solution I have found to enable me to get a list of servers is quite simple.
Then go searching for servers! When I did this, over 6000 servers responded to my game query! I then joined as normal!
After doing what I explained above, this is what happened!
This has worked for me and several others. I hope it will work for you too Good luck!
It seems I have missed an important update to Black Bug Ops. Here is the latest change log;
This is the new video released by Treyarch to showcase the upcoming DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops. It looks like Treyarch have made a complete sniper fest, so might be a complete fail, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s still going to be fun!
Surprisingly, it looks like Treyarch are trying to fix their game and have now released a list of up-coming fixes for Call of Duty: Black Bug Ops on the PC platform!
One thing I am very happy about them adding is the dolly cam feature. I cant wait to test that out on some of the kills that I get. It looks amazing when people have done it on the console. I am looking forward to this update, but I can only hope that it does not break many more games like the last update did, for the sake of the community!
