CoD: BLACK OPS SERVER INFO

[Hedge]

So, Zero, Gixxer, and I have some Black Ops servers set up. Feel free to log in and play with us. Currently we have one server in Chicago and one in St. Louis, these may change depending on which one has the better ping. But for now the IPs are

Chicago, IL - 173.199.92.57
St Louis, MO - 8.6.77.16

We will keep the bad hacker people away!

Look forward to playing with you guys, or just shooting the fuck out of you!

Muuuust Geeeet Keyyyyy nooooooow!


Oh and I heard Activision is implementing hat-trading in the upcoming patch! I'm so excited.

[Brains]

lol so close nvn :D sooooo close to getting in.
I say 10am tomorrow it will unlock.

[[+Duracell-]]

Waiting for mine to unlock, then I'll be game to play!

[Scruga]

Nice, is the unlock moment it unlocks the same for everyone? Mine does in 1 hour.

[.bot.]

they are different depending your timezone to reduce server load.

[Scruga]

I see, thanks.

Will definitely play on the servers though :)

[[+Duracell-]]

Mine didn't unlock last night, so it looks like I won't play till I get home from work today! :D

[nvncble]

Lag spikes arhhhhhh!

[Hedge]

Yes...yes its unfortunate, that the damn game is laggy as hell. Some serious FPS problems, but they are working to fix it so that's good :-)

Also they failed to put in a connect command, there is no way to connect directly to a server using the IP address...stupid! STUPID! hopefully they will put that in the first patch.

[elninio]

yep got that right no way to add a specific server lagg is well laggy i must say once the 999 pings leave some servers i played last night wasn`t to bad it will get better. i like to play sabotage and headquarters . What mode do you guys like to play ?

[Brains]

I played it fairly smoothly for the most of yesterday.
the only issues I encountered was an occasional super lag spike where my game essentially freezes for 2 seconds and the whole friends/server browser thing is garbage because you can't connect by IP AND the list of servers that it displays to you is different for everyone. I was trying to play with my NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR and he had a different server list than I did....

but in-game wise I love it.

[elninio]

servers down right now

[Scruga]

Also they failed to put in a connect command, there is no way to connect directly to a server using the IP address...stupid! STUPID! hopefully they will put that in the first patch.

The reason Infinity Ward didn't put a console in MW2 was to avoid people using the connect command to join a cracked server. So therefor I think that Treyarch didn't put the connect command in for that same reason, to avoid pirates playing the multiplayer.

[elninio]

turn down shift-tab and steam-cloud in steam seems like it`s helping everything a little smoother helicoptors still make me lag enough whit the spy planes already ( boss the plane the plane ) kill steaks are to overpowering not much more to offer than modern warfare man i can`t wait for BC2 vietnam dlc that`s where the real gameplay is at
This game for 60.00$ it will probablly be the last call of duty i buy unless the single player is one hell of an action pack game cause honnestly the multi players leaves not much to offer.

[Brains]

elninio, SINGLE PLAYER IS FUCKING INSANE!!!! SO DAMN GOOD!

[nvncble]

Seems like alot of the bugs with lag are starting to get worked out, at least for me anyways (I still do have some stuttering/lag/freezing). One thing that really helped me I saw on the steam forums was to set the priority of COD.exe in your taskmanager (after you launch the game, alt tab out) to HIGH and the priority of steam.exe to LOW. Rinse and repeat each time you launch the game.

Same here, after a few mins of playtime on any given server everything from the shooting spikes to overall play seems to smooth out. Commands for finding a server needs to be fixed asap though, raging balls over here.

[Brains]

here are some commands to try out:
-- set multiGpu to "1" (unless you have 1 gfx cards then put 0)
-- set multithreaded_device to "1" (unless you have a single core CPU)
can be done in both config.cfg and config_mp.cfg

also some reports of disabling the steam community to help with CPU usage.

Here are the actual server names, if you want to search the server browser.

Beacons of Hope - Team Tatical
(all gamemodes except S&D)
located in Chicago

Honorable Men 24/7 Nuketown
(just for xp - may change in the future)
located in St. Louis


Saw nvncble and a few others in the other day. Good games

[Brains]

awesome. I'll be in that 24/7 nuketown server for sure.
is it always rockin a decent crowd or should I join at a particular time of the day?

[Hedge]

Eh we tend to need trouble getting them started up in the day. Most of the time servers clear out in the late mornings.

We tend to enforce a no noob tube policy, it angers the kiddies :P

[Brains]

what you need to get rid of is onlyusemeblade wannabies.
I only have issues with the noob tubes on nuketown where EVERYWHERE is a choke point.

[nvncble]

The biggest problem for me is the super-glitched friends list. Half the time it says a friend isn't in game in the server browser but they are and steam friends list shows that.

[Brains]

ya the friends list thing is very bad. it's a huge turn off.
they have addressed it in update notes for the next patch they are working on.
they also said they are going to bring in /connect with the next patch too.
