Besides the Performance issues ( the most important at the moment ), there is a lot of issues that are actually affecting our experience on this game.

Let's make a list with a detailed summary and a short description of what happened, if a screenshot or video is present would be great as help, i will update this thread with your contributions later.

IMPORTANT : Read the list, search on the list, and please, do not post already posted issues ( like lack of connect command ), it takes to me a long time to update this thread

ALSO IMPORTANT : Please, post the issues with the following template (copy the code below) to make me a less  frustrating update:

[size=150][color=#FF4080]â—˜[/color][/size] YourName : Issue [i]-> Link ( if exists )[/i]

â—˜ YourName : Issue -> Link ( if exists )

User Interface / HUD / Front End :
Buttons that are not working, disappearing items, placeholders, etc.

â—˜ roth : Mouse implementation in menu screens is incomplete. Scroll bars don't work. Navigating up and down by clicking the arrows don't work. It just goes to next entry.
â—˜ Axizor : Once I used an RC-XD on the map Grid and in the HUD Radar (minimap) it displayed the RC-XD as a small plane icon instead of it's usual small RC car icon.
â—˜  : Occasionally not able to select attachments tab in MP. Even if I have already bought attachments for a weapon and used them, sometimes the option to select the "attachments" screen is grayed out and I'm not able to select it. Specifically the Galil and Commando- as soon as I unlocked it.
â—˜ Fatra : And can the developers add a quick refresh button? Like the button in the Steam server browser?
http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/7316/serverborwser.jpg
â—˜ if i connecting to a server and i press the cancel button sometimes i am back in the main menu and i have to refresh the server list (sometimes it takes up to 2 min to find all servers)
â—˜ SgtSpock : Double, triple or even multiple clicking on servers name doesnt take me to the server.
â—˜ 2/3 matches, when the playercard pops up in the upper left corner, the background doesn't show..
â—˜ mavfox : Team colors are reversed on certain maps. Example - OP should be the reddish color while SOG should be gray. During game play, the colors are reversed and shows the opposite during kills and chat.
â—˜ Renzska : Left and right arrows in all areas of the game only toggle through the options and actually don't move through them, left to right.
â—˜ Renzska : In-game contracts don't show time remaining to complete.
â—˜ AaronAMV : No servers will show up on the server browser. -> http://imgur.com/lveVS.png & http://imgur.com/HjzGn.png
â—˜ |GEN| Bradley : "Friends" tab on server listing does not work aka it doesn't show any friends online playing games.
â—˜ |GEN| Bradley : "Favorites" tab on server listing does not save servers even if you use the "add to favorites" button in game.
â—˜ wazups2xs : Server browser doesn't list all servers. The most I can get it to show is about 120 servers.
â—˜ Newcorpse: Friends list shows Steam users that does not have the game in their accounts, this make difficult to find players with a huge contact list.
â—˜ HokesP : Fonts in friendlist are way to big need to scroll for ages if ya wanna invite/... friends... COD:WaW had a nice friendlist!
â—˜ HokesP : Servers don't show up in serverlist, i own servers but i need someone who can see and enter it invite me.
â—˜ ||XO||Praetorian : Specific server not showing in server list (not all are shown) or favourites for certain users (not all users) -> http://community.callofduty.com/thread/100314075
â—˜ UnbornX69 : Tropas team text chat is prefixed with (Communists), not (Tropas)
â—˜ Lord_Deji : Subtitles issue:
Even if I've put the subtitles ON I only have them during the cinematics and loading cinematics but not during gameplay. They are display as this: http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/106698762-4.jpg
â—˜ YourComputer : Intel (in map loading screen) told me grenades will never explode while you are cooking it. However, cooking a grenade and not tossing it will get you killed
â—˜ _S_E_R_G_ : 5:4 aspect ratio (1280x1024) doesn't supported by the game.
"AUTO' for Aspect Ratio option in graphic setting doesn't consist 5:4. Here is some screens:

Gameplay :
Glitches, Exploits, Stucks, Problems while performing actions, Missing interaction, etc.

â—˜ NeNiicK : Without any reason I cant shoot, switch weapons (it will switch, but after the 1~2 secs), reload or knife for about 1~2 sec. but I can walk, ADS and look around.
â—˜ Dorest0rm: When blast doors are closed, theres still sun coming thru the "hole" [i]-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqIBmIPeUUk
â—˜ Gameplayko : When I placed "Red Dot Sight 1"and my emblem, then I have no scope in game.
â—˜ Cromatox : I can't zoom in with sniper rifle if I hold shift, was possible in all other CoD's.
â—˜ Levinon : Issue [i]-> Perk 3 Ninja PRO Still hear my footsteps when running, still hear myself when jumping over obstetrical.Also enemy footstep sound is not increased.
â—˜  ILuvsTehMudkipz : With hardline pro, you can't re-roll your care package while a teammate is trying to take it.
â—˜ YourComputer : Unable to shoot through thin material. (See Nuketown domination, [i]cardboard boxes
at the B flag).
â—˜ The RC-XD is able to kill you through walls and even through the bus on the map Nuketown.
â—˜ Some people have managed to remove the smoke and flash effects from their screen and are able to shoot accurately through it.
â—˜ Suggestion:  When diving to the ground, your ability to aim should be hindered.  Many people are using this as a dodge and are able to aim accurately the whole time.
â—˜ Suggestion:  When the Perk: Second Chance is used, you are invulnerable for a second while it kicks in.  1) if shot in the head, Second Chance should not be able to be used.  2) You should not be immune for any number of seconds.  If you are being continually shot, you should die before Second Chance kicks in.
â—˜ Saint AtR: Ghost Perk Pro is not working, you still get shot down by aircraft.
â—˜ Phragmine : There's no option to switch teams. This, combined with a lack of autobalance leads to lots of 4v9's in Search and Destroy.
â—˜ YourComputer : Head shot failure: I hear the "clank" sound that we're all used to from W@W (the one that sounds like you're shooting a metal helmet) but i'd be lucky if the game registers it as a head shot. There should not be a "clank" sound if it was not a head shot.
â—˜ BigSexy : Unable to shoot between railings in MP. It's as if there was a wall there.
â—˜ SgtSpock : Sniper rifle with suppressor is useless even from short distance. Suppressor away and it works again.
â—˜ Lexusex : Scavenger pro does not replenish tactical grenades.
â—˜ YourComputer : Opening then closing the Steam overlay prevents aiming down the sight (current workaround is to sprint).
â—˜ YourComputer : I got killed by my own sam turret. How does that happen? I shouldn't be killed by my own deployments.
â—˜ YourComputer : The Stoner63 LMG's red dot sight is faulty. You'd be lucky to get a long distance kill with it. Mean while you are getting killed by MP5Ks from long(er) distances.
â—˜ Awaknen Easley : After watching a bajillion killcams, it seems that only 10% of the people killing me actually shoot me.
â—˜  Widow Maker : since the first patch key strokes register with a delay and when they activate they have a prolongued duration( ex: pressing W for forward, geting finger off of button, still going forward)
â—˜ G915 : Unsure about some surfaces w/ hardened skill (if bullets should or shouldn't penetrate it), railings for instance, also some wooden crates and stuff, need to do some research on this.
â—˜ asdasdasd111 :You can't zoom in (sniper) when holding down Shift.
â—˜ Mickilla : Sniper headshots survivable with the suppressor attachment in place, even at point-blank range. No exception, even on the big L96.
â—˜ HokesP : No Spectator mode.
â—˜ wooteh : Me and my bro sometimes play on the same computer, and his class names appear in my Custom Class list and vice versa, same with the controls, this wasnt a problem in MW2.
◘ MaFuMa'SD :Camara Gets Crazy After Use of (7 Kills – Valkyrie Rockets).
â—˜ Morihaus :  Very often, Spawn zones are very near to enemies location.
â—˜ Morihaus :  Sometimes buggy RC-XD control(total mess of controls)
â—˜ Morihaus :  sometimes KS don't count!!!(I had ks of 5, i have crate and spy plane as my defaults, and i didn't get them:/ Few times:/ Everyone else have their KS rewards.
â—˜ SmilingPolitely : Inverted mouse settings do not apply when using guided rockets (e.g. Valkyrie rockets). Applies to both campaign and multiplayer.
â—˜ Lexusex : Combat training bug :  Bots with Ghost are still detectable by UAV. Ghost pro is still seen in thermal scope.
â—˜ Lexusex : Combat training bug : Bots dont use equipment. Impossible to get hacker pro.
â—˜ Lexusex : Combat training bug : Bots are clearly wallhacking sometimes. (Looks like an issue with wall transparency settings)
â—˜ Groby2345 : I was playing around with my RC car and it just fell under the map. It wasn't lag or anything,  I wasn't laggy at all... I woulda taken a screen but it went away too fast.
â—˜ AWES0MEVIDS : Gameplay issue when Dual Wielding: LMB fires RIGHT gun whilst RMB fires LEFT gun.
â—˜ Dorest0rm: Really hard to aim Airstrike direction. Fix: Make it drag able instead of turning.(Like Mw2)[/i]
â—˜ YourComputer : Calling in too many care packages/sam turrets fills the air space, preventing you from calling in other care packages/sam turrets. It would be understandable if these helicopters killed people as they came in, but they don't.
â—˜ Worldwar2 : In Multiplayer RMB fires left weapon, LMB fires right weapon.

Performance Issues :
FPS Dropdowns, Stutters, CPU Ussage, Loading Times, etc.

â—˜ Worldwar2 : The game does not utilize above 50% on my SLI'd GTX 260 GPU's, averaging around 45% use. Using one board / disable SLI does not max out utilization on the one GPU at all as well.
◘ HijäcK : Ingame performance drops sometimes to like 20 fps from 35 on random occasion. (Q6600, 8800GTX, 4 GB, Win 7 Pro 64), Sometimes the game freezes for a few seconds while browsing through any main menu tab.
â—˜  JeZu : need a core 2 duo e6600 or phenom x3 8750 for play Black Ops on low graphics is a bug
â—˜ Aurorae: Anytime I'm out-of-game and just looking at stuff like: killstreaks, contracts, etc... sometimes my game just randomly freezes for like ~4 seconds, and then goes back to normal.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Create a Class : The model soldier in the center of the screen take ages until loaded and displayed,today i saw just a loading symbol during one minute or more.
â—˜ SgtSpock : Sometimes fps drop is huge from 125 to 50-60. I have 3.95 GHz i7 930, OC'ed GTX295, 6 GB RAM/1800 MHz (full graphics in cod:waw steady 125 fps, little tweaking AA, AF off steady 333 fps)
â—˜ G915 : Stuttering issuses after 1st update, a little better than before but still present and annoying. Most apparent in killcams and small or explosion/effects heavy maps.
â—˜ mavfox : server browser refreshes and bogs down my CPU. I've seen this happen in CS Source, whenever you refresh you server list...you get huge lag spikes upward of 200+ ping resulting in game freezing. A Stop Refresh button usually cures this bug.
â—˜ Swissha015 : Huge fps problems, max 25 and stable = 20 fps pm if want stats.
â—˜ wooteh : Every 20-30 seconds the game gets frozen for about 5-10 seconds in the menu.
â—˜ wooteh : The "Loading Game Settings" takes ages sometimes, or doesnt finish loading at all.

Online Functionality :
Lag, Choke, Stats not being updated, challenge, displaying items and content, updating your profile, etc.

â—˜ Maestro : When I tried to join a server I got a nasty message about something with configstringmax.
◘ HijäcK : Ingame ping tends to be about 100 in normal gameplay. Also depends on the server, but randomly my ping goes up 999 for a second, then it returns to normal, but sometimes it stays above 300 and goes up to 700 and down to 300 and repeats several times, which leaves me most time to no other option, than disconnecting from the server, not only getting a loss, which I don't deserve, but also lose my xp from the match.
â—˜  Monkey HR MonkeyDFO: issue _. when i start my multiplayer it trys to connect but then it freezes for like a few sec then it gives an error like 'error' The call of duty server is not available at this time please try again later.. Link-> http://www.xfire.com/video/3abc22/
◘ HijäcK : Friends can't join my games and I can't join theirs, doesn't matter how many slots are open.
◘ HijäcK : I can't join any games of my friends in the Zombie Mode and they can't join mine. I didn't try playing it normal online, because I don't want to!.
â—˜ HijacK : The game is currently unplayable, having a ping of 60 and only seeing like 1,5 seconds of 2 makes the game totally unplayable, it worked fine yesterday though.
â—˜ Nilsb7 : Friend invites not being received. happens randomly, sometimes i receive them sometimes i dont. friends got the same problem.
â—˜  Attica451 : I'd like to add an important bug.  Whenever I try to join the same server as my roommate who is on the same router it says " Can't join server.  Duplicate qport detected."  It also disconnects my roommate from the server he is currently playing on.  This is the first game I've ever come across that has given me that sort of problems.  We've always been able to play on the same servers in other games.
â—˜  elsydeon : I have been having internet connection issues on my network while the CoD: Black Ops software is active. My roommate and I went through the router's logs and discovered UDP floods on various ports (3074/3075, a 31xx port, and some over 32000) both inbound and outbound.  This seems to be happening when I am in the server browser.
â—˜  zarclean : Noticed when me and my brother are trying to play at same time(me PC, him 360) if im in a server i get disconnected when he tries to join a server and when i try to join a server he gets disconnected.
â—˜ SgtSpock : When starting BO Fetching Stats, Connecting, Downloading weapon stats etc takes for ages. Even 15 minutes sometimes. I have 8 mbit/s Internet connection.
â—˜ wazups2xs :Can't invite friends through Steam or join a friends game through Steam.
â—˜ wazups2xs :No way to join a specific server or add a specific server to your favorites by console.
â—˜ basics : Can't join a friends game without receiving an invitation beforehand.
â—˜ Newcorpse: Friends cannot join to Training mode.
â—˜ Newcorpse: Overall kills and deaths on stats are not displaying the proper values.
â—˜ Janktu  :  Wager Matches only seem to have one cost associated with them.  Every wager match I go into is 500 COD points and I cannot find the option of choosing a cheaper version.  I know on Xbox and PS3 there are three amounts that you can play for 10/1000/10000 but that seems to be missing from the PC version.
â—˜ SparkOne :many of german Players have troubles with Serverbrowser causes from the Router (Speedport W700V), after an error we've to restart the Router.
â—˜ Titanium17 : After countdown, new map image seen, but no loading bar, no map name.. I get kicked out after every game on every server and have to reconnect.
â—˜ mczgb : cannot link to my account in theater beta. [ *website issue* ]
â—˜ mczgb : login problem with this forum - it took me 15 attempts to post this reply[ *website issue* ]
â—˜ Janktu  :  No joining as a party.  What I mean by this is if I want to play with my friends, there is no way to get us all on the same team unless we just luck into it.  Considering I play on the PC platform mostly for the social aspect of the game, this is very frustrating for me.
â—˜ NineDollars : leme make it more clear lol. I cannot join the same server as my brother. we are on the same network. when ever one of us joins, the other one gets connection interrupted. eg: im already in the game, when my brother joins, i get connection interrupted. vice versa.

Game Functionality:
Contracts expiring early, Challenges that does not unlocks, Not working features, Theater mode not recording, etc.

â—˜ Ltn Big Mack : right alt being detected as ctrl. I'm using a standard plug and play keyboard without any need for drivers or something, so that cannot be the problem.

â—˜ WOrLdWAr2 : Sometimes contracts do not stick after buying them and exiting the operations menu and they revert to your previous contracts before you bought the new ones.
â—˜ Newcorpse: Cannot connect to specific servers via console ( /connect command )
â—˜ Profzy : When I change the name of a class and I restart Black Ops, the name's didn't change.

â—˜ BugCrush3r : In MW2 in hardcore TDM when an enemy with no siliencer shoots you see a blip on the minimap but in blackops only when a spy plane is up do you see the blip. When there's no spy plane you don't see the red blip on the minimap (when you press ESC). This works in MW2 so I'm assuming its a bug in BO.
â—˜  Circusjonko : I CANT make a screenshot because even screenshots dont work in this game (when i print screen and go to paint, all it pastes is a big giant black screen).

â—˜ Tori : Rank lost without warning when leaving a ranked match AFTER the round is over.
(Verified with 4 players so far, example: I started the round at level 8 on a ranked server , after the round was over I wanted to create a class, so I disconnected, went into the menues , started clicking on my newly aquired weapon , then suddenly the weapon wasnt there anymore and my rank was 8 and not 11 as it was moments ago).
â—˜ mczgb : theater not recording - I can find only 3 wager matches in recent games.
â—˜ mczgb : yesterday I finished one contract, but when trying to take another it was 0% completed.
â—˜ Lexusex : Theater mode shows replays of release date.(Tuesday) + THEY ARE NOT MINE.
â—˜ Inifekt : Cannot toggle option for Mouse Smoothing. Mouse is always slow to respond.
â—˜  Mr Huk : I didn't see it with the other server issues but you can't join a server until it's finished refreshing all the servers, which can take awhile.
â—˜ Dorest0rm: Endgame screen needs to be longer, not enough time to look at all the information in detail.
â—˜ ]Tori : Rank lost without warning when leaving a ranked match AFTER the round is over.
(Verified with 4 players so far, example: I started the round at level 8 on a ranked server , after the round was over I wanted to create a class, so I disconnected, went into the menues , started clicking on my newly aquired weapon , then suddenly the weapon wasnt there anymore and my rank was 8 and not 11 as it was moments ago).

◘ Sacacorchos : ALT+TAB in menú or during Create a Class will result in a big black screen when returning to game,you must close it by task manager

â—˜ Pagan : Multiplayer is freezing at "fetching stats" since the last update. I can no longer play multiplayer.
â—˜ Rexss: Singleplayer crashes when you have to kill the guy talking on the radio in the airfield. The Multiplayer crashes when your playing 5 to 10 minutes.
â—˜ HokesP : Changing resolution makes game crash.
â—˜ Swissha015 : When changing the resolution of windows and/or defragging cache files in steam it gives a huge bug. When you startup black ops, it starts with the cursor and the "loading circle" of windows, immediately gives you the latest game invite, fades to white screen in 5 seconds and you have to end process. Re-starting black ops gives the same thing over and over again. Rebooting my pc was a fix for me.
â—˜ MrTurtle908 : Black screen, hourglass loading mouse icon. Have to restart computer.
â—˜ ...Again ?! : another error (not only mine), direct3d device present failed driver internal error (-2005530585) Before game dxdiag test are OK after game crash (direct3d crash) same dx diag test doesnt pass. (problem with 640x480 resolution).

â—˜ Fast4ward On Pc after 11/11 patch cant play more then 1 game and it crashes
â—˜  Kruelt : After today's patch (11/11) the game freezes after my first match. After loading the next map it freezes on the choose a class screen. I have to kill the task for the game and Steam, then do it all over again. Reproducible 100% of the time.

â—˜  xine  : if use a class with attachements in domination, the attachements don't even work/appear on the gun. Dunno if this goes for all attachements but it does not work with  dual mag on the ak74u.
â—˜ mavfox : killcam is just horrible, maybe it needs some type of slow motion like mw2 but it's not even fun watching the kill cam for it's lag and then instant kill. Part of the fun of killcam was watching it in slow motion smoothly.
â—˜  IrishK :  The M14 appears to be prone to weapon jam. This may be the result of pressing the left mouse button repeatedly, very fast, but it should be investigated.
â—˜ coolzed : An issue created by the shading and particular, analyze the picture linked  -> http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4158/bugreport111110.jpg
â—˜ Lexusex : Clan tag on some weapons is hardly seen (high texture settings)
â—˜ Lexusex : No background of community custom titles is shown during the game. Only their icon/logo.
â—˜ Mechzer0 : Faulty / buggy environmental lighting and prop rendering. Causes doodads, props, trees, etc., to appear improperly lit, and it looks really bad.   -> http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6697/faulty1a.jpg
â—˜  Circusjonko  : I've seen that if u play HQ on "summit" and you go upstairs in the building where theres a balcony where sometimes the HQ is. There are some boxes stacked up against the wall. Now the thing is that if you are like 15 feet behind the boxes they disappear you dont even see that they are there. And if you move slighty more forward they suddenly disappear. I noticed this because i was camping to gaurd the HQ a ghost came and i shot him exactly where the boxes should be. So when the boxes are not visible you can even shoot traight trough the area like theres nothing there.

Sound:
Problems with stereo, quality, muted sounds, etc.

â—˜ Renzska : I only hear footsteps coming from the right speaker.
â—˜ G915 : Problems switching between sound devices, for instance - if i run game without my headphones plugged in, then switch the game off, connect headphones and start the game again, the sound is still coming from my speakers and not headphones, need to change it manually in options. btw logitech g35 headset.
â—˜  IrishK : The Enfield has no reload sound.
â—˜ Ra1dMaX : Footstep sound....fix it you dont hear footsteps at all exept your own, makes ninja perk useless.
â—˜ Demonplay :  Can't hear helicopters at all on the Jungle map. *low repro rate*
â—˜ Demonplay :  General sound ques like footsteps, weapon clicks etc are inaudible.
â—˜ Demonplay :  You can hear the enemies chatter which is annoying when everyone seems to shout out something every 2 seconds, gives your position away to the enemies.
â—˜ Lord_Deji : Sound issue: Onboard sound card like Realtek seams to have problems with the game. I do not have any sound in menus and gameplay in both multiplayer and singleplayer except in cinematics and loading cinematics.

Server Issues:
Problems with server functionality

â—˜ ABC=Darth_Rogue : Spectate mode kicks you from the server after one minute.  I'm guessing this is due to inactivity.  Admins need to be able to sit in spectate for as long as they want to help catch cheaters.
â—˜ HokesP : No Next Map and Change to Gametype coomans on the RCONtool.
â—˜ HokesP : Message Rotation is not being Saved in servercfg.
â—˜ HokesP : Admins on server get kicked out for inactivity (We should decide when a player gets kicked)
â—˜ Demonplay :  Can't play with friends on the same team most of the time because Server needs to balance player numbers. Expected Result : When the server shuffles players between matches, it should put people who have invited each other on the same team if possible.
â—˜ 4ragoRn : Yesterday i was playin on S&D .nl server. After the round, ending killcam shows up. Player was RC car and after 1 sec. server crashed. Gives an error > http://imgur.com/IZU7u.jpg
â—˜ Darkflame : Player spawntimes need to be definable via server admin (rcon console)
â—˜ yce teh chease : when I try to connect to my server with a reserved slot, a lot of times I cant join and it says "server is full" ok I know that, thats why I used the reserved one.
â—˜ Motiv : The ability to restrict weapons in unranked (as promised) - Currently all weapons are selectable, so a a "Galas" only server is not possible, or a restriction on snipers to 1 per team (and just one type) can't be done. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ1xBBouNHM

Single Player
Issues related to the Single Player Campaign

â—˜ Rexss: Singleplayer crashes at the airfield when you have to enter the plane.
â—˜ Rexss: Singleplayer crashes when you have to kill the guy talking on the radio in the airfield. The Multiplayer crashes when your playing 5 to 10 minutes.
â—˜ SmilingPolitely : Inverted mouse settings do not apply when using guided rockets (e.g. Valkyrie rockets). Applies to both campaign and multiplayer.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Executiv Order mission , before using the binoculars at the beginning you cant move while Woods does it.Maybe its not a bug,only to prevent the player to move and run to the road.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Executive Order mission : After using the binoculars and see how Weaver is "interrogated",Soyuz-1 is launched and leaves a purple fuel trail while going up.If you reboot mission by running outside "map" or if Woods get killed,the trail will appear on the air while Soyuz-1 is ascending.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Executive order mission : Before Soyuz-1 is launched,you must execute with a weird-curved knife two soviet soldiers to get their uniforms.While Woods get to cover behind them,you can run to the soviets and stand exactly in front of them without penalisation,as if they were blind.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Executive Order mission : When meeting Bowman and Brooks,sometimes Bowman will be duplicated and Brooks dissapear.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Executive Order mission :  While entering the base before meeting Bowman and brooks,two soviet fuel-trucks leave the base.The drivers will have the hands too close of their head,holding the air while the steering wheel is about 30 cm. down away from their hands.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Executive Order mission : When entering the base,the alarm sounds and everybody runs to their positions,blablabla... Bowman says "Snipers on the roof!" before the snipers appear on the roof,so or Bowman is flying with a no-clip or he has *****-thermal vision.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : I think its Revelations,when you discover who is interrogating you and you are set free and wild on a installation."Someone" will punch you to the ground and aim you with a colt,suddenly he will be wearing sunglasses and carrying an AK,and a second later he will be one more time aiming you with a colt and without sunglasses.This bug make you reboot the complete level because nothing else happens,the game stays there.
â—˜ Sacacorchos : Akimbo guns : Right weapon shoots with LMB , left weapon shoots with RMB.


Suggestions:
Low priority Stuff, Just feedback about the game, things that you like to see or improve in the game. ( don't be ridiculous )
Not everyone will be agree with some of this suggestions, but, suggestions are suggestions...


â—˜ Amoeba : operations contracts should be neutral. i.e. work for both hardcore and normal mode and not be mode specific. I play hardcore mode and rarely see operations contracts for it, the list is almost always just normal game mode and i think it would make sense to make it non mode sensitive.
◘ HijäcK : The loss you get when you leave a game early should be taken out, I don't get why I get "punished" for leaving a laggy server. I don't care if anyone tries to have their player records clean of any loss.
◘ HijäcK : Add servers with 12 players max for gamemodes like TDM, Domination, Sabotage etc, 8 players in a Free-for-All and 18 players for Ground war. 18 are just to much to be played in every gamemode.
◘ HijäcK : Have the ability to get Black Ops servers somewhere else, than only gameservers.com, I don't have anything against them, but other games offer that too and I never experienced something like this in any game, not on Battlefield, not on Medal of Honor or Team Fortress 2!
◘ HijäcK : Having an option to use Creat-a-Class after a Match without disconnecting. It's just annoying to leave a good server (if you maybe find one in a random rare occasion) and then, after maybe just switching out one attachment or perk, seeing that your servers is already full or worse, you can't connect because the game is stucked in "Connecting to..."!
â—˜ TheRafal : I just wan't, if it's possible (all are possible !!!) all racon command for the UNRANKED server in the RANKED server.
â—˜ Darkflame : Stop search option added to in game server browser to hault listing of MP servers at any time.
â—˜ HokesP : Ingame Admin panel would be nice.
â—˜ Morihaus : Maybe C-a-C/Emblem Editor/Contracts option between matches and while playing "Preparation" (before Wager Matches?).
â—˜ Morihaus : Be able to chose type of Wager Match.
â—˜ Morihaus : Complete reset of MP rank/money/everything.
â—˜ Morihaus : Maybe Wager Match servers?
â—˜ Demonplay :  Claymores seem to go off almost instantly. (unless I just can't hear the click anymore like everything else)
â—˜ Demonplay :  Pistols should be slightly stronger, and you should be able to switch to a pistol much faster.
â—˜ Lexusex :Hardened perk does not seem to provide good benefit in wall penetration.
â—˜ Lexusex : AK74u and MP5k are having little to no difference stat wise.
â—˜ Lexusex : Spas destroys other weapons in his own class. Semiauto with large clip and long range. Killer with Steady aim. Has silencer. No need to use other shotguns. (once I unlocked this gun, I was using literally only it till I reached my first prestige).
â—˜ Lexusex : keep other shotguns range the same, but cut Spas's range to balance its semiauto fire and large clip.
â—˜ Lexusex : It is really frustrating getting knifed in the back. What is more frustrating is watching a killcam and seeing person sprinted towards you while having marathon and you did not hear a single step.
â—˜ DigitalFlow : Air needs to be balanced. sure maybe ghost pro will possibly cloack u from air. but untill then you have helos that just kill you as you spawn... no time to pull any anti air out..
â—˜ Rickyboy120: New Feature, not bug. - Have a tracking feature for Contracts ingame instead of In-game menu.  For those with widescreen, this won't be much of a problem, plus it's irritating to find a good spot, go to menu and click on contracts.   Options could be : Have 4 different resizing choices, choose to have contract description (Ex: VETERAN: Kill 5 players in one match using an assault rifle) or just tracking bar.  (Ex: VETERAN: 2/5 Killed.)
This has been used in Valve's game called TEAM FORTRESS 2,  use that as a reference for designing this.
â—˜ Dorest0rm: Extra suggestion; Allow to change classes between matches without leaving the server.
â—˜ ABC=Darth_Rogue : Should have the ability to set up at least 18/24 (ranked/unranked) slots for VIPs.  Clan members pay for servers.  Clan members should have priority.  Only having a VIP list of 5 sucks.
â—˜ ABC=Darth_Rogue : Need to have the ability to manually enter IP addresses in favorites menu.
â—˜ ABC=Darth_Rogue : Extended mags perk should not cut down on the number of magazines carried.  It's a perk for a reason.
â—˜ YourComputer : Suggestion : Store theater mode recordings locally (if not already done so; "last 7 days" thing implies that it isn't).
â—˜ 4ragoRn : Add Region Filter for server browser.(Like BFBC2) it helps alot for finding more server for your region. > http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/96118147-4.jpg
â—˜ Renzska : I'd love to be able to play wager match game modes in private matches without betting and with a minimum of 2 players to a maximum of 18 players. Basically, all wager match game modes just for fun.
â—˜ Renzska : When selecting to quick join a ranked match, or wager match, we need the option to specify which game mode we'd like to play.
â—˜ abhinanda : Whitelist more rather than keep commands blacklisted. This includes everything from connect, reconnect and bind to more complex tweak and serversided commands.
â—˜ abhinanda : First fix the core problems; performance and functionality issues. Secondly release Modtools, much can be modded and will no matter what you do in balance purposes. Then, thirdly the small things, not directly related to a functional gameplay.
â—˜ wazups2xs : Auto-join server feature. When a server is full let us automatically join when someone leaves.
â—˜ Anteries : Joining a party just like in modern warfare 2 was very good idea, and worked fine. Friends needs to have different color than the team players to easly locate them on the map.
â—˜kawz : bare bones on unranked please
â—˜  Worf KAC  : Multiplayer the name tags of friendly's are so small we can't see them like we should never had a problem from COD4 until now even in the lobby names are so small it's very difficult seeing them.. they need to make it the same size that's it's been in previous games  all my buddy's are saying the same...




Please do your contribution and be nice and polite, i think this thread can be usefull if we share our issues.

Regards! 



Add the 640X480 resolution

Title says all. This should give a decent performance boost to anyone who's experiencing a sub-par FPS (like me )

It worked on every COD game I've played, and it might do the same here.

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i358/augdude68/WaWusage.jpg

  This shows my COD WaW comp usage with the 640X480 resolution, textures on automatic, and the other settings on low or off. The game looks all right while giving me 120 FPS in both single-player and multiplayer.

It can't just be my 3-month old computer, it has everything to do with the bad engine quality and lack of lower-resolution options that Black Ops has. This should be an easy fix, so get on it Activision...

Mouse DPI+Sensitivity survey

$

0
Just making a small survey to check what mouse dpi and sensitivity people play at. If you don't know what DPI is, it's basically your mouse's "hardware sensitivity", or how many dots the mouse registers per inch (Dots Per Inch). Sensitivity is thus software trying to emulate you having a higher DPI than you actually have. If you don't know your mouse's DPI just state what kind of mouse you use. All answers are appreciated.

I play on a Razer Mamba, 5600 dpi, and between 1.5 and 2 sens.

Black ops LAG FIX!

Hi. i dont know if u know this but it is worth a try..

Ok, let's begin!                    Solution 1
(For WIN7) may work for others..
Go to Computer and right click the black ops disc then go to Resources> Redist and install vcredist_x86 then go to the DirectX folder and install DXSETUP and restart computer, If that doesnt work try this...

Solution 2

Start black ops MP or SP depends for which u want to fix press Alt+Tab so u come to the desktop.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open the task manager, then go to Processes? then right click the BlackOps.Exe or BlackOpsMP.exe for the MP
Then go to choose priority and choose Realtime then accept. After you've done that Right click Steam.exe in the task manager> Processes and go to Choose priority and choose Low!

Hope it helps
You must do Solution 2 every time u start the game.

Extracting a .wav from the .iwd files opened with winrar always results in high pitched and very short audio, how do you extract them properly?

Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies will not load.

For sake of time at the moment I will keep things simple. I am on a laptop and Zombies wont load when I try to play online. I've made a lot of changes to get it to work but it still hasn't. Multiplayer works perfectly(no lag, loading time is fast, in game is smooth). Solo Zombies works perfectly( same as Mp).  I'm not sure if Zombies is just to large to run( I would think that if I am able to play multiplayer online  and it works so well that Zombies would be able to load too) I've updated drivers as far as I'm aware so If you have any other suggests or had similar problems with solutions Please, please let me know. Thank you.


Look how good Activision can help me

Nope sorry sir i still got crashes?

Is there any news about when the update will come?
I guess this is an technical problem from the server side?

Thanks

Send us a copy of your system information. Go to Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Information. This will bring up the system information tool. Go to the top menu and select file->Save. This will save a file with all of your system information. Save it to your desktop. You can name it sysinfo.nfo. Attach this file to the support incident.

Answer that ******* and stop ruining mother ******* games w00t......
If Black Ops is going down like they did with Modern Warfare 2 than please give me my money back!



Response (Ethan Allen)     11/26/2010 07:25 AM
Patrick,

I have notice from your DxDiag your display driver is from 10-16 and there is a updated driver from 10-25. Update your video driver to the 10-25 version and make sure it's being displayed in the DxDiag.

Unfortunately, we cannot handle refunds directly, as our distributors take the product back in bulk from retailers. You will have to return the product to where purchase was made.



Customer (patrick 't hoen)     11/27/2010 03:03 PM
I can't get my money back because they wont take it back....

This is because of the CD-Key ...
So **** you



Customer (patrick 't hoen)     11/27/2010 03:11 PM
O and by the way. Do you really think this update will fix this ******* problem? Get a ******* life fool! Its just this ******* pc version of the game that is so horrible... We all know xbox is more for the gamers and we all know you and Treyach and what Infinityward did IGNORE THE PC SO THEY KNOW WE GOT THERE MONEY! Yeah sure do that but there will be a day where no one of the pc will buy your game and than you will wish you never ignored us. Hope whole Activision will lose there money and i hope they are going down! for always.



Customer (patrick 't hoen)     11/27/2010 04:38 PM
So here is my new DxDiag.txt with the newest drivers!
Can you now explain me why i still crash ingame?
Do i ******* need to record it?
Is it so hard to code a game good?
Is it so hard to give us a good update instead of bullshit?

I guess it is !



Look man all they can say is: post ur dxdiag. update your pc. etc
CAN'T THEY SEE THAT IT IS THE ******* GAME zomg.

Treyach/Activision

No lobby/party system for the PC?

$
0
0
TL; DR: I am disappointed that Black Ops will not have a lobby/party system for the PC.

I know that many people dislike the choices Infinity Ward made for the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 but I think that the lobby/party system was a great one. The party system makes it so easy for a group of friends to find a game, play together and stay together. I wish more PC games would adopt a party system and I am very disappointed that the PC version of Black Ops will lack this significant feature.

I know it is too far along in the development process to change anything at this point but I figured I would express my disappointment.

PC requirements

The official PC minimum requirements were posted:
Call of Duty: Black Ops PC Minimum System Requirements:

OS: Windows® Vista / XP / 7
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom™ X3 8750 or better
Memory: 12 GB free hard drive space / 2GB RAM
Video Card: Shader 3.0 or better 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600GT / ATI Radeon® X1950Pro or better

My question or concern is:  Will I be able to run the game with the highest graphic setting with an ATI RADEON HD 4350?
There are so many variances of graphics cards out there and although their requirements are much less than what I have, I cannot run them unless they are on the lowest setting.  (Battlefield, Bad Company 2 as an example)

Thanks for any helpful information.

Campaign Won't Save! Can a dev please answer to acknowledge!

$
0
0
As the title says, my campaign won't save. I have read on a few other forums with people having the same problem. I am very disappointed. As much as I love multiplayer and zombies, I would like to be able to play the campaign as well. I have a legit copy of the game and everything else works fine. I will start up the first mission, beat it, save and exit to the menu, check to make sure my progress is saved (which it is), but when I completely exit the game and start it back up, it says I have never even started the campaign.

Would a dev please acknowledge that this is a problem and that they are trying to patch or if someone else has had this problem and there is an easy fix, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Dev Console

The developper console has been disabled since the new patch came out. I was wondering if this will be a permanent thing, or that it is perhaps a temporary thing, so that they may fix problems with it (maybe disabling achievements when using the console). The console made single player zombies alot more fun, and goofing around in single player after honestly beating it on Veteran was also fun. I did feel a bit dirty however when i unlocked the "The Collector, and Hands off the Merchandise" and achievements. I hope this is a temporary thing, otherwise i'll be a little dissapointed.

Mouse DPI+Sensitivity survey

$
0
0
Just making a small survey to check what mouse dpi and sensitivity people play at. If you don't know what DPI is, it's basically your mouse's "hardware sensitivity", or how many dots the mouse registers per inch (Dots Per Inch). Sensitivity is thus software trying to emulate you having a higher DPI than you actually have. If you don't know your mouse's DPI just state what kind of mouse you use. All answers are appreciated.

I play on a Razer Mamba, 5600 dpi, and between 1.5 and 2 sens.

Catalyst 12.9 & Up Optimization Problems

$

0

SO I use to get a decent fps, between 40-70 fps with catalyst 12.8 drivers and below on my ageing gaming laptop, but ever since 12.9, the fps has been unplayable, so I reinstalled 12.8

 

 

A few months ago, I got tired of black ops and played other games, which required the newest catalyst drivers so I updated them. After almost a year of not playing black ops, I decided to give it a try, but sure enough, the fps is unplayable. I have the latest catalyst drivers and don't won't to downgrade to version 12.8 as it might screw up some of my newer games (hardware and anything else has not changed at all and all other games work as they should).

 

 

Anyone have a fix for this?


Can't use Mule Kick?

$
0
0
Okay, so, after hunting about 5 different websites and a few google searches, I've not been able to find an answer. Everybody seems to own all the map packs, and plays on a console. Now here's the question:
Is it possible to buy the Mule Kick perk WITHOUT owning Rezurrection? I have the Escalation pack alone, and I see the Mule Kick in Kino and Call of the Dead (don't often play Five much, but I know it's there). Thing is, even with the power turned on and all other perks bought, I'm unable to buy the Mule Kick. When I "use" it, it just gives a clicking noise. Doesn't say anything about not having enough points, or anything. Is it impossible to own in Solo Play, as I've been mainly playing Solo lately? Or do I need to buy the map pack to buy the perk in-game? I just want to know for sure.

Set Optimal settings? Issue

Since today, eachtime i start call of duty multiplayer i get a message :

Your computer appears to have changed since the last time you ran Call of Duty.
Would you like the game to cinfigure itsself optimally for your new hardware?

This is recommended for most people.
It will change your system setings not your controls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---

This is anoying, it takes around 5 min to just get in the main screen of the game, because of the fetching stats thing... once i'm passed it and want to join a multiplayer game it takes even longer. It all started when i got dc'd from my internet connection. Anyone know what to do? or what the problem is? i played this game from release and no problems since now.

Can we level up and earn Cp on unranked servers?

Please elaborate this someone. I see on unranked servers much more options for admins then on ranked servers. So i wonder if the difference will be only in statistics + admin options. If we can level up normally on unranked servers, what is the point to get ranked server then?
