Call of Duty: Black Ops

"There's a soldier in all of us"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hncudrWXpX0

A brief history of Call of Duty:

Call of Duty. We're now in our 13th iteration of the franchise. Sure, things started out in World War II, and then all of sudden we were shooting zombies and everyone was like "lawl treyarch!!!!1one." Then we blinked, and we were some dude named SOAP. Then a lot of innocent people died in an airport and soccer moms lost thier shit. Then all of a sudden a military wizard nuked the international space station when Russia was all like "u mad?" and pushed our shit in until we fought back and were all "DANGER CLOSE? WHAT'S THAT?"

And that's before bobby Kotick fucked Infiniti Ward's mom.

This time, things will be different

Aside from a lucky few of us that have played the game due to broken street dates, no one really knows the plot yet. Watch some of these videos instead:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJerWQhMl6k

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPTOVQFRggI

Now with that out of the way, let's talk about what you're really here for: shooting mans with your friends.

First things first: The PA 360 Community

There are a couple ways you can join in the fun. First, add either the meta tag(s) A PA CoD Clan or A PA MW2 Clan (which may or may not be full at this point). From here, you can view other people on the tag and invite them to your game. I may do the same if the group I join needs more people, but sometimes I just want to pub-stomp, so don't be offended if I ignore you. Also, send the invite to the clan tag. Everybody sending one invite is far more convenient then me sending every invite.

And finally, the PC Version

WHOA HOLD ON BRO, DOESN'T THE PC VERSION SUCK LIKE MW2?

Not anymore! Treyarch and Activision did something crazy, and you're not going to believe this but, they actually listened to the players! That's right, we have our dedicated servers back, as well as other goodies. Here's a list:

Here are some PC tweaks and tips you can try:

I'm not sure if this fix has been posted yet, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I tested it myself and the difference is HUGE.

-launch blops multiplayer
-ctrl alt delete
-in your task manager, right click steam.exe and set priority to LOW
-set priority on blackopsmp.exe to HIGH

I still see people jumping around a little bit, but my PERSONAL performance is butter-smooth. It's like night and day, literally 100% better. Try it, if it works for enough people please put it in the OP.

I'm not 100% sure why this works, but there have been rumors that blops is not using video RAM effectively. If that's the case, setting the priority on the mp client higher is probably alleviating the problem at least partially by allocating a larger percentage of system RAM.

Reposted from some random website:
If your PC supports multi-threading:
seta r_multithreaded_device "1"
in config_mp.cfg (Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty black ops\players)

How do I improve the game's sound quality?
You can change sound to CD mode: 16 bits 44000 hz CD via control panel sound setting.

Misc. "potential" performance tweaks:
Run Steam in Offline mode > Start Black Ops > End the steam.exe process > Set BO process priority to high
/r_multiGpu - should be set to "0" if you do not have a multi-gpu graphics card.
/r_blur_allowed - people are reporting minor frame boosts with this set to "0"
/r_distortion - people are reporting minor frame boosts with this set to "0"
/r_dof_enable - people are reporting minor frame boosts with depth of field set to "0"
/r_glow_allowed - people are reporting huge frame boosts with this set to "0"
/cg_brass - people are reporting minor frame boosts with depth of field set to "0"
/r_cachemodellighting "1" - people are reporting minor frame boosts with depth of field set to "1"
/r_cacheSmodellighting "1" - people are reporting minor frame boosts with depth of field set to "1"

I tried all of these and it made no noticeable difference, maybe some of you will have better luck.

Your mileage my vary; these did little for me, while other report drastic increases. if the game did work okay for you, here's an awesome list of stuff that Treyarch is doing for us PC folks:

Interesting news for those who plan to purchase a copy of BlackOps for the PC:
After Call of Duty: World at War, we set out 3 goals for our next PC title:

* 1] PC gets every single game feature that the consoles get, but in a way that makes sense for PC.
* 2] PC gets even more features – the ones that PC gamers want like dedicated servers and more customization.
* 3] Keep it fun. Protect the integrity of the title through design and post-launch support.


Keep that in mind as you read through the decisions outlined below in our FAQ.

Call of Duty: Black Ops PC Multiplayer FAQ

Full feature support: Confirmed
Ranked Servers: earn XP and currency. Wager Servers: gamble your currency. Customizable Unranked Servers. Combat Training against practice dummies. Theater. Create-a-Class "2.0." Contracts. Emblem editor. Everything the consoles get. Implemented in a way that makes sense for PC (*cough* no lobbies *cough*).

PC Features: Confirmed
Dedicated Servers. New Server Browser. Dev console. /record. Customizable game modes, perks, killstreaks, classes, and higher player counts on unranked servers. Map rotation. RCon. Kick & Ban. MOTD. In-game custom Server Banners. And more.

Mod Tools: Confirmed
We will release mod tools sometime post-launch. We need to finish the game first. Then we will make sure any urgent issues are handled. Then we will begin work on tools. The extent of the mod tools package will not be known until this time.

Global Persistent Stats, Profiles: Confirmed
Your profile data is stored on servers for you and is accessible from anywhere on the internet. Stats, XP, COD Points, configs, etc.

Leaderboards: Confirmed
Yes, leaderboards - globally persistent leaderboards (i.e. NOT per-server based).

Steam Exclusive: Confirmed
Millions of Call of Duty fans are already on Steam. Their Friends are on Steam. Steam will provide the ease of auto-updating instead of manual patching. Auto-updating will also help keep the community playing together on the latest version. The Steam cloud will make your profile and configs available to you on any computer.

VAC: Confirmed
We are serious about protecting the integrity of this game from hackers and cheaters who would otherwise ruin the fun for the honest players. Used in conjunction with our own anti-exploit measures, Theater reviews, trusted servers, and supplemented by server admins with kick and ban powers we believe that Valve Anti-Cheat will be an effective solution for Call of Duty: Black Ops PC. We are committed to working closely and diligently with Valve to deal with new threats as they appear.

No “Public Server Files”: Confirmed
Many of these game features are predicated on having a trusted host or server. Otherwise these features would be wide-open to easy exploits and rampant cheating. Also, anti-cheat solutions can be significantly more effective on games that rely on trusted servers. We chose against “public server files” in favor of providing full feature support and protecting the integrity of this title. This doesn't mean you won't have customization or admin capabilities with your servers - because you will. This simply means we've partnered with an exclusive server provider.

GameServers.com Exclusive: Confirmed
We have partnered with GameServers.com as the exclusive provider of dedicated servers for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Every dedicated server for this title will be running on top quality hardware and infrastructure with excellent bandwidth. There will be a ton of official servers at launch for everyone to play on for free. If you want to run your own server you will be able to rent one at a great price (which will never go higher than $0.99/slot). They are actively adding new server locations and staffing up to meet global demand. If you don’t see your location you can suggest it here: http://www.gameservers.com/blackops/

Max Players: Not Confirmed
We have not yet finalized the maximum number of players in ranked or unranked servers. More playtesting is required to determine how high these numbers can go. This happens as late as possible in the project otherwise the game is likely to change in ways that could invalidate the results.

Minimum System Requirements: Not Confirmed
The game is still in development, and the PC team is hard at work making further optimizations. We will announce the min specs in the near future.


Hopefully that answers the majority of the outstanding questions not answered from our MP Reveal coverage. There are still some questions we do not have answers for at this time, so as always, we appreciate your patience. We will have all questions answered before November 9th.

Regards,
-JD, PC Dev, & the PC Team

Awesome, right? I know! So here's how you can play:

Step 1: Join the Steam Group

Here it is: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/pablops. It is a closed group as of the launch of the game, so why didn't you join sooner? Ask in this thread to get added. We also have a 15-slot vent server that was part of the package deal the server guys were running. That info is private and only part of the Steam group. Once you join the group, if your Steam name differs from your forum name, for God's sake post it in the comments so we know who you are!

Step 2: Add our server! We have our own, 18-player ranked server for us to abuse and kick non PA people out of. Here is the server info:
PA Ranked Dedicated Servers Info

#1 [PA] Black Wang Server (Chicago)

    posting this in this thread because it does noone any good in the old one!

    apparently people have found a way to make ranked servers give out 1 million exp for 1 kill or a suicide

    so, be cautious on pubs if you value your exp or shit

    pcdev on twitter (apparently blackops' pc rep according to vahn) is aware of it apparently though, so hopefully it will get fixed in the next patch

    maybe put in op or slight mention in title, i dunno how serious it is

    The british Direct2Drive has an offer that lasts until tomorrow where you can get 25% any game, including CODBLOPS.

    I just saw that and was coming here to ask about it, It comes out to 48$ CAD on the UK site as opposed to 59.99 everywhere else..anyone know if there's any downside to buying a UK version? I.e will it try to default my into UK Servers or anything like that?

    The game shows whatever servers it finds and sorts them by ping. On my Steam account in the store, it shows as "Call of Duty: Black Ops Retail", so it's not a UK specific version.

    No shit. Even when I was getting my ass stomped in for a little while in a domination game, I never came close to being as frustrated as I was with MW2. Probably because I knew I just wasn't playing well, not because people on the other team were using one of 450k exploits.

    I miss death streaks, at least I could have some fun with my .25 k/d ratio.

    I absolutely don't miss killstreaks, because I hated shooting someone while I'm 1-4 only to discover someone who isn't me has been killing them enough for them to have it.

    I hated them because they stopped me from getting more than two AC130s a game.

    I can now sit up for extended periods of time! Which should mean I'll be able to get some play time in tomorrow. Hopefully. I'm so far behind where I was last year when MW2 came out. :P

    Also, I almost dislike the emblem creator. I don't need that kind of stress. I'm not creative. Don't make me look bad because I'm not smurt enough to figure out how to mask layers and whatnot. I've got a skull thinking about a pink bunny right now. Because that's about as creative as I get.

    Aw, you PC guys start an event for zombies just as I'm getting up to get some food? My timing is the best.

    grip, rapid fire, supressor, you name it

    the gun is so good, you really can't go wrong

    those three are my favorites though

    Is rapid fire actually useful now? I haven't bothered to try it because MW2's rapid fire left a bad taste in my mouth

    well with the ak74u its pretty good if you use the grip alongside it

    don't know about using it alone

    So sometimes, if I'm lucky, I'm able to join a server and get a round in, but it doesn't last more than 5 minutes before I get this

    Just wanted to know if anyone else is having same issue or if they've found a way to fix it. Tried posting on the COD boards but it won't let me register. Been scanning over them and haven't seen anyone else reference a potential memory leak. It always crashes when it hits that 1mil mark

    edit:

    i've done the multiGPU to 0 and multithread_device to 1, set blops to high priority and steam to low. Game plays fine but I hit a hard crash every single time without fail
    Multithread_device should be set to 0, it's not recommended for DX9 games. Try turning that off

    Here's a BLOPS PC dev twitter: http://twitter.com/pcdev

    Some highlights that I noticed: 12 player playlists are coming, the /connect command is coming back, reserved slots are not

    Dual mags or extended mags are what I like to run with it. Depends on what contracts need me to do and then I'll change when the contracts do.
