Forums - Gaming Discussion - COD BO buggy, unexpected

another buggy game released like always 

the game is just buggy for the PS3 version but i have heard the 360 is just as bad

here is a list of bugs i have encountered my self on the PS3 version  

1. User interface freezing, it just freezes for couple of seconds before moving on, annoying as hell 

2. when i move from multiplayer to menu to play some zombies/sp i have to do the bightness settings and the screen setting every time. so redundant 

3. Online matchmaking is broken 

4. Leader boards are broken, not just hacking but numbers are all wrong for heaps of people. one of my friends who has 3000 kills overall has 110,000 on the leader boards/

5. host disconnections: it would randomly discontent without even host migration attempt 

6. party disconnections 

7. unable to find game (really 300,000+ on all the time and yet cant find a single game) 

8. team balancing with 12 out 12 players, delaying the match for minutes on end or not starting at all 

i could go on but there are so many from past cods. 

But this slows the lack of testing for such an HUGE title as COD BO. You would think that Activison would fund a huge testing blitz on the game to make sure its prefect before release. millions will buy an game thats buggy but it also sets bad examples such as:

-Buggy games are fine to be released: Fallout New Vegas, COD BO etc 

-The terrible Peer To Peer online system is clearly flawed and is constantly broken system. its find for small online experiences but not competitive shooter multiplayer. 

Really the biggest game breaker is the LAGGGGG. I can play  here in Australia (terrible internet connections here) with 2 people on the internet and can play with 256 players on MAG and not LAG an single time yet with no one on the internet and 6v6 its so laggy its unplayable because of P2P which has broken host selection and is broken over all. 

For those who are coming from games like BFBC2, MAG, HALO etc with dedicated servers its an pain. sure if you are used to playing laggy mess but really stay away and support dedicated servers online games like KZ3, HALO, GOW3, MAG, BFBC2, BF3, S4, Homefront etc all dedicated servers online since Activison is ripping on cod online experience. 

this is my opinion 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

As long as people are just fine with games being released half=baked, the devs will be fine with it. I can confirm the same for the PC version, by the way.



I didnt buy it cause i heard it was a five hour single player - I'm really glad i didnt buy it now.



This is not an exit.

Not only are gamers dumb for constantly allowing this to happen, but reviewers are even more ridiculous by giving out 9's to a game with so many obvious problems. Hell, the game even has some scores of 10/10. 

I would love for them to try and explain how it is perfect when it obviously isn't.

I hate the reviewing system. Too much money and goody bags getting tossed around these days.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Being only the 2nd (if I recall right) Call of Duty I have had the Wii version being buggy I would say I will go back to not buying Activision games. However, GoldenEye I have had no problems with so I guess just back to not buying Call of Duty titles. Kinda of a shame really I do enjoy it overall.

I have had a few of these issues on the 360 also. The most annoying being if the host leaves the game just ends sometimes. I have a few matchmaking problems too. But I didn't really get it for multiplayer so it hasn't gotten to me too bad just yet.

 

Edit: Just to add, matchmaking seems to take a lng time also



I'm having some of these issues.

I'm also having problems with theater mode, it's  not letting me view any of my matches. Just shows them all blank and endless loading.

I'm still enjoying it a lot though, campaign is the best in the CoD serious and I actually enjoyed past ones (Besides MW2) and Combat Training is a lot of fun to mess around on and test the whole system and weapons. It's been awhile since I was able to play with bots and this is great.

I also love the fact that you can play local split screen online multi-player.

The bugs sure are annoying, but I'm still enjoying the game. I do hope they get these problems fixed though.




Dunno about you guys, but I am loving Black Ops. It's 3 games in 1, what's not to like?

As am I, there is so much content in this game. Definitely will keep be busy for quite sometime.
