I just went to Gamestop to trade in a bunch of DS and old 360 games.
The guy there told me I wouldn't be able to get a copy because I didn't pre-order. I lol'd and told him I'd see him at 12.
That or tell him you'll just stop by Walmart then as they will have plenty of copies. That goes over super if the store manager is around because that guy is driving business away from gamestop.
Even if you know you don't have enough copies you should still try to get people in the store as many of them will decide they came all this way out anyhow might as well pick something up and grab a XBL card or something else before heading over to best buy or walmart to get it.

The thing to do would have been to invite him to pre midnight stuff and to just hang out and meet people.
So is this super ultimate edition going to be in great abundance or super limited? Cause I can wait for 6 months if I have to and get it for 100 bucks instead of 150 if I have to. But if it's limited then I guess I'd have to jump on it now just to get that RC car with the built in camera. Have any reports come in about it being any good? Like 6 months ago one of my sources in Activision said that the tires were insanely cheepo on the prototype, but they might have made it better since then.
Also if I'm just trying to save money would you recommend I just buy it now, use my 20 dollars Amazon credit and collect another 20 dollars in credit for buying it before release, essentially getting it for 110 bucks instead of 150?
I'd love some opinions, because time is running short and I only so many hours left to decide. Few leaked reviews are saying it's a solid 8.5-9.5 game, but nothing on the quality of the RC car.
Soooo... I've got this on Steam and it runs like an old granny with a walking frame and two broken legs. Single player runs fine maxed out, MW2 ran fine with everything maxed out, but mplayer on this chugs and stutters so much even on minimum settings to the point where it's unplayable for me. Some other things I've noticed:
- It's not syncing up with my Steam profile properly (not picking up my nick, not picking up friends)
- Tabbing out while it's at the main menu crashes (well, it did once!)
- Server list likes to randomly omit the Australian servers
Any of you playing on PC heard anything about performance in mplayer? I've got no idea what the fuck to do, but this is unplayable, and my PC is easily good enough for it.
I had to update my drivers and turn off AA to get any semblance of playability in single player as well. Just tried the multi and it runs about the same (noticably worse than MW2). And then there's the massive lag issues on top of it all.
Anyways, I've put a couple of hours into the single player, and it is fucking retarded.
I dont understand people waiting hours in line for this. At Gamestop, they make everyone pay and process their orders before midnight, and then just hand the products out to you when you show them your receipt. It takes MAYBE 15 minutes to get your game if you're in the back of the line.

There's an interesting hidden mini game in blops too
PC users might want to wait for a patch/Catalyst hotfix, as there are a lot of people suffering stuttering in-game over a wide variety of configurations, and turning off Catalyst seems to do the job, though some report it still stutters occasionally, though not as bad.
Does anyone else hate the chair? There's a disconnect between the mouse and keyboard - I don't expect to have my fingers already hovering over WASD/cursors when the game is launching, more focussing on the mouse to set up what options I like in a single or multiplayer game. Every time I've launched Black Ops I've felt annoyed at not having immediate control over the menu with my mouse, forcing me to reach for the keyboard. What's the point of it all? It looks nice but it's pretty stupid.
It's a minor niggle, but still... I'm sure the console users have immediate control over their menus.
Edit - I'm suffering from the stuttering myself, I'm playing at 1920*1080 (which is the resolution I play all my games on), most options set to high. I had anti-aliasing set to 2x and turned it off to see if it made a difference - none whatsoever. My system is an E8400, 8GB DDR2, Radeon 4870 1GB.

...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.

Any chance I can get in on the steam group?
Here's my Steam profile.

My friend said I can't have black ops from him because its $80 where he lives on steam.
I am sad. Now I have to wait until christmas.
XBL is FresherDeath12, PSN is MAspiderface2. (Play 360 more, MW2, etc.)

They copied halo so bad. Custom gametypes in your fileshare what?
HYPE
1 Minute more than the last person who gets one.
OR
The least amount of time you can "waste" assuming that post-release minutes are worth more than pre-release minutes.
