Another moan....................If my mates are on line and already in a game mode, I will try to join their game, when it states that the game they are in IS joinable. It never ever works.....always comes back with game mode full...............so why state it's joinable!!!!!

dowers24_7 your a CLOWN!!!! Wake up and look at what people are saying about Black Ops 2. You've only got to look at the 4 times you've posted the same comment......it's as if your trying to convince yourself there's nothing wrong with it, but I assure you, as a person that has listed all the above problems, the game IS broke, and need's fixing FAST!!!

Honestly guys it is so much better than you make it sound, I thought the same as you when I first got the game but now that I am used to it it is a really good game!

Zombies is the best ever, multiplayer is really good and has way more possibilities and it's just a matter of time until people realise it's actually good! And to you people who judge only by online forums GET A LIFE! You judge things off other people who have probably never played the game either!

Yet another update.......I now have sound problems. I can hear people talking fine.....I now have the sound, best described, of a "helicopter" in place of the ingame sounds I should be experiencing. Suffered majorly with the game crashing, freezing, menu screens being really slow to respond, menu screens freezing for 30-45 seconds at a time. It's time for the game developers to get a grip, post a MAJOR apology to everyone for releasing a game that is so far from completed and playable it's beyond a joke. I would STOP advertising this game anywhere, until the problems are sorted, as taking peoples hard earned cash for this rubbish is wrong.

I went to gamestop the other day to get a gift card and asked the guy if anyone had been coming in for a refund due to the ps3 problems. He actually said "not aware of any ps3 problems." I told him what is going on and his reply was "the only reason anyone has been asking for refunds or trade ins is due to them being dumb"

wow

Yesterday I just bought a copy and at first when I played it I thought my headphones are broken:) Lol, those sound effects are just pathetic.

First map what I played was Drone and my impression was...WTF am I playing DOOM??

Other maps were almost OK, but still seems that Turbine is only map where I should consider using AR instead of SMG's. Only close range combats.

To sum this up, it was fun to play it, but still I had a feeling like I'm playing 10 years old game. At least for me this game is too lugubrious/depressive. Just use more colours and better music But I think it is meant to be this kind of game.

Right that's my moan for now.......will add more soon........I'm sure

As a musician with some experience at hearing these sounds come from electric drums and drum machines, , it sure sounds to me like some of these gun sounds are nothing more than an electric drum machine using different speeds and tones...lol

okay, so now bo2 is working again, and its great!

The sound isnt as good as mw3 in the sense that sound whoring is harder -> not great for enemy footsteps, but gun sounds and environment sound awesome.

as for the lag issues people talk about???LOL i think it is brilliant, i think that people who have **** internet are the ones that are havin problems at last!

better internet seems to finally = better gaming experience!

MW3 was my first online multiplayer video game, and despite all lag and bug issues, I spent lot of time having fun with it.
I bought BO2 (then it's my second multiplyer video game, yeahhh ) and although I did not have any connection or freeze issues like many players (I played yesterday from France, do not try again today) I am really disappointed too by this game :

- as you said, the sound effects are really bad, not at all realistic (the sound of some weapons are just like small farts).. maybe an issue with my headset, I have to check the sound options

- the textures are poor quality, too blurry, too much colored, giving the feeling of an old video game => one time again, not realistic

- maybe it's specific to MW3 but the hit detection is silent, not sound to indicate if we hit or not the target (maybe because of bad hit detection issue in the first black ops opus - never played, just heard about it - no sound <=> nobody can say if the game did not detect the hit or if the player really missed the target).. then I am lost when firing the enemy

Ya why is hit detection silent??? I hate that!!!

wow, now it has become almost impossble to even play a match online in bo2, and something is definately amiss when you cannot kill ANYONE at all!! LOL

Treyarch COD is not true Call of duty! They always steal ideas from Infinity ward, and their games have a very dark and evil feeling. I'll never buy their games.

WOW if Black Ops 2 is making MW3 look good it must be a huge pos. I checked out the forums to see what the general thought was and I couldnt help but laugh and say thank god I was not dumb enought to let Activision and 3arch sucker me out of another 60 bucks.

I've already downloaded the textures to my hardrive but I keep on finding them poor with uggly colors (and increasing definition does not correct the colors). But maybe it's simply BO .. I did not play BO before, then I didn't know what to expect. But I understand some people could love it , it's just my personal feeling.

Re: Just got Black Ops 2.......not great!!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:42:38 GMT

To increase the definition of the textures you will have to download those from the disk to your hardrive. I did and the graphics are awesome. Sorry you guys don't like BOPS2 but me it is a hit. Sound is.....different....but I expected it to be.
