At this point the only game that has my attention from a PC gamer perspective is HoS. For a long time I was burnt out of the whole WW2 genre, but that game really is shaping up to be a proper PC title. (PC only!)

Black ops is only good for Zombies after playing this drivvle, Guess I'm just gonna have to wait for HoS and twiddle me thumbs.

LOL and Zombie is played via a P2P connection and NOT on a dedicated server. Does that not tell us something?

@ valleyhunter p2p isnt bad its just that the current technology isnt publicly available to make it worthwhile for more then just a few connections and for things that require plenty of bandwidth.
4 people in p2p is perfectly fine as long as one isnt in australia europe asian and states.
starcraft 2 uses p2p and i never get lag because their is so little info being transferred compared to 9v9 mw2 style.
sure zombies would be even faster on a dedi but it just isnt worth it for just 4 people.

GTAIV was less playable in 2008 than this game now, by far. Also, rockstar didn't care too much either. BO isa bigger title on pc.

I'm able to play this game fine. No lag, no hardware issue. Have a nvidia 250 gtx and get 50-125 fps, which is a lot better than i thought.

I'm actually having a lot of fun in this game. I still hate all the perks and killstreaks, but since there are quite a few problems with servers we did a private match tonight, hosted on my computer. The customization in that is quite extensive. You can limit weapons, disable perks and killstreaks. You can even change the damage of these weapons, (not very precise though).

I'm not sure about an unranked server, but are you able to limit the weapons on them as well?

Anyway, once the bugs are fixed for everyone, I think everyone will enjoy the game.

If unranked games have the customizations of private matches, then this game really could be competition friendly. Won't have a ready-up mode, but voting to change the map would be a band-aid for that.

Then again, I may be the only one who feels this way.

p2p just isnt optimal its as simply as that.
Put a server in the middle of europe and people from all countries on that continent can play it under fair conditions.

If sc2 has p2p that explains a lot because some idiots keep slowing down my game on a regular basis.

Also in an rts game pings over 100 ms are not such a problem, in FPS games that is the case.

Many other games though, like Natural Selection 2, Interstellar Marines, OverDose, Depth... so many great FPS PC-exclusive games being done by indies that do really not only compete with AAA titles, they actually look and play better than most, if not all, AAA titles.

This is my Cod Bo experience so far.

Here goes Tuesday got up to give the mp a try before i went to work oops my bad dose not unlock in uk till it unlocks in the states why , well ok i go of to work .
Get home load up the game straight to mp set up my config goes to play 3 servers show in list arrrrrr .
A little while later i have 3 servers showing from uk playing Deathmatch (what i want to play) woohoo i get into a game little lag well that is until i get into a fight and wow its almost unplayable . leave game .

Do a bit of web searching change a few things in config load up again , Still not many uk servers showing but get into a game played ok mixed feeling.

Wednesday not a lot of time to play as strange shifts at work played the same as day before .

Thursday Still lag and a bit of stutter but now I'm having fun . I find a Barebones deatmatch server and wow almost no lag played for a few hours loving not having all the crap (killstreaks perks) almost old school gaming as it should be . More servers in list now and as i turn my PC off i see steam has just downloaded a patch .

Friday What can i say best day so far , Decided id invest in a Server as there not to expensive and i seem to be able to find them now .

Ordered my server played DM for an hour lag rejused a lot . Check email and go off to set up my server .

So I get it done name it Them BareBones Fun Server (in green) . Load up game doesn't show arrr refresh there it is and its full bugger , when i check its set to a different game type so go back to the very basic setup tool and set it to BareBones DM (free for all) . Restart the server and bingo there it is played all Friday night till around 1 am no problems and leave to go to bed quite happy .

Saturday arrrr no servers showing in my list cant get on my server as they decided we don't need a direct ip connect .

So that sums up my first few days of CoD Bo Some highs and a fare few lows the worst of it is if they had ran a decent sized beta this could of been avoided .

I'm not peed off enough to stop trying to play the MP and as soon as its sorted im sure ill forget the start as i did with (BFBC2) .

Not played any of the other parts of the game so don't know what there like .

And as you can see i have some mixed feeling towards the game as i like the way it plays love most of the maps i just want to be able to play .

Any how if any one want to pop onto my server your welcome to , just look for the name Them BareBones Fun Server (in green) in your server list if its working (its a uk server).

Strange thing is first time I've ever hired a server that cost less than the game itself .

shoot you laters arrrr lagggggggggggggggggggg .
