in NewsBlack Ops "in progress" fix list updated
It's a couple days overdue, but JD_2020 has finally updated Treyarch's "in progress" fix list for the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops. And it's huge. On that list is "connect" and "reconnect" commands to the console, the fixing of "random freezes" and improvements to the problematic spawn system. Unfortunately, there is no word of bomb and footstep volume levels updated which has already been done on consoles, and no word on a radar exploit fix. Here's the full list...... -

in NewsJD_2020 confirms console Black Ops fixes coming to PC
Owners of Call of Duty: Black Ops have been waiting impatiently for over a week now for word on a patch to finally resolve the GPU hitching problem, as well as the vast array of others. JD_2020, Treyarch's community manager, writes "I wanted to reassure you we're still here and listening, and working on a patch." He wasn't willing to give an ETA, but did document patch time-lines, from information gathering to deployment, which can take up to a month. ... -

in NewsJD_2020 updates Call of Duty: Black Ops fix list for PC
Treyarch's community manager, JD_2020, has just updated us on what exactly was fixed in the latest patch, but more importantly what wasn't - but will be. As you're probably aware, CPU performance improvements were made, dropping usage and upping frame rates. However poor saps like me on an Nvidia GTX480 are still experiencing hitching and stuttering. If you're in my boat, Treyarch hasn't forgotten about us!... -

in NewsTreyarch's pcdev keeps us updated on Black Ops fixes
Treyarch-run "pcdev" on Twitter was re-awoken today, to deliver a heap of very, very regular updates and replies to the PC Call of Duty: Black Ops community. The account with the proud bio of "kb+mouse or die" tweets that they're "Still super busy in the dev cave. Not stopping. Keep talking. We're listening. Patches incoming. Frag on." And while that statement is somewhat reassuring, we want cold hard facts. We want details. And pcdev delivers!... -

in NewsMore from Gameservers on Black Ops lag
Tired of seeing those red spikes in your Call of Duty: Black Ops lag-o-meter? We hear you. Five days after launch, Gameservers.com are still pursuing a resolution in hand with Treyarch, but still do not understand the source of the problem, nor have an accurate estimated time of arrival for a working fix. They have decided to keep us in the loop despite that, making another statement on the matter earlier today.... -

Update: users already playing on 'fixed' servers are claiming the network lag has been resolved, but the intermittent stutters and freezes remain. We'll continue to monitor feedback and report back as soon as we know more.
Getting any real information out of anyone regarding the Call of Duty: Black Ops lag issues plaguing players has been like squeezing blood out of stone. Twitter updates and blog posts from various representatives have been non-committal, vague or entirely ignorant to the problems many PC gamers are experiencing. Finally though, we have some real news. It's not much, but it's something.... -

Update: the problem is now being reported in Europe, as well. MayDay on the official Black Ops forums says "I'm getting lag spikes on all servers in europe, everyone i have talked to seem to have the same problem."
Australians felt somewhat lucky to have a Steam unlock schedule that favored us, being the first in the world to get our hands on some Call of Duty: Black Ops action. Unfortunately, very few are having any success. It turns out that we've been forcibly made beta testers, whether we like it or not.... -

in NewsCall of Duty: Black Ops is now out
Black Ops is now available on Steam! We've been told that it was unlocked at midnight for launch-party purchasers of the retail copy, as well. Strangely, Australia has actually been given first access to the game, rather than a delay - with Steam users in the UK needing to wait another 9 hours, and those in the USA another 17. The first few reviews are in, too. Let's see what they've had to say...... -

in NewsLive action Black Ops reveals the soldier in all of us
Update: it turns out that SSG Tran isn't the one assumed. This SSG Tran stopped by the forums to let us know that he's alive and well. He's a retired US Army Staff Sergeant, now working in Hollywood as a military consultant for Dagger Media Group & Sacred Sword. He and others he worked with are in fact avatars and playable characters in the game. Every so often a trailer is released that leaves you not just excited about the forthcoming film, game or product, but genuinely impressed with the trailer itself. This Call of Duty: Black Ops live action trailer delivers one of those rare moments, and thrones itself as an instant classic. I might just go ahead and watch it again. Oh, did I mention it features Kobe Bryant?...
