Ace 3,556 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Users of Call of Duty: Black Ops are reporting continuing serious problems with online play.Players say the game is repeatedly crashing and coming up with "connection error" messages.Ian posted on Newsbeat's Facebook page that Black Ops is no better than "an overpriced paperweight" because it freezes so regularly.The game's developer Treyarch says it is "working hard" on a fix.Call of Duty: Black Ops recorded sales worth more than £400 million in the first five days after it was launched - making it the biggest selling video game in history. The main feature being unplayable makes this nothing but an overpriced paper weightIan Humphreys, on Newsbeat's Facebook page Now though, there's a growing number of complaints - mostly from PS3 and PC users suffering from glitches and lags in the online multiplayer version of the game.Twenty-two-year-old Ian Humphreys from Nottingham says it is "disgusting" considering "how much they have made in profit from sales".'Fixes coming' An update to fix the problems was released two days ago - but Ian thinks it hasn't fully worked.Referring to online play, he says: "People buy this game mainly for multiplayer features. The main feature being unplayable makes this nothing but an overpriced paperweight."Paul Totterdell from Exeter also describes "connection interruption and lag issues".Treyarch posted on the CoD: Black Ops official forum to say it is aware that "many online players have been experiencing connectivity issues". It adds: "We've already updated the game with one 'hot fix' since Tuesday's release that has improved many of those connectivity problems, and we've got more coming, so stay tuned."We're committed to doing everything we can to support the best online experience, and we're working quickly to resolve this issue."http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/12007261 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansion 120 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 connecting to servers with guys in your party can be hard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 It's just a joke of a game. I think I have my own copy coming for Christmas, and I couldn't be care at all for it. But hey, let's spend all our time letting people make fancy emblems, and just leave the servers last. Because that's what's REALLY important..

Ace 3,556 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Last night was the worst i have ever seen it, a bunch of us tried for a couple of hours to get a game but we would play then get "lost connection to server" or to host or just couldn't connect at all.Seriously, we have paid £40 (ish) for a product that is realistically, aimed at the online market ... yet that is the very market the manufacturers of the game have failed to provide any kind of service too.Somwhere, that must be illeagal ... "trades description" or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,724 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ive never had any problems with losing connection on COD, although im on the xbox 360 version so that might make a difference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 I think it does, it seems the problem if affecting PS£ and PC users mostly.From what i understand, Black Ops was written for the Xbox architecture then re-designed from that basis to suit PS3 & PC but they have totally fucked it.It is shocking that they have released something that is just so shoddy.
