Now Steam has locked me out

[DEEJAYKEG]

Oh, this is really sweet...  Now I can't even run the f***in' game!!!  (This is a RETAIL purchase from Amazon, btw, and has sweet f*** all to do with f***in' Steam!)

 

[DEEJAYKEG]

Phew!  Back in the game now!  This is connected to setting up a Steam Community ID.  Once this was done, no further problem has been experienced.  Why do they make things so complicated?!  I was so looking forward to this game and this has just introduced anger to a day that should have been all fun...

Set back, drink a cold one or six, take a deep breath and have fun. Sounds like fun DJ. I know the frustration. I won't get mine until later. Then the fun starts for me. It is coming UPS, so I can track how lazy, I mean how slow they are. Don't they know that I am impatient.

Got mine this morning. To bad I wont be online with it. Its for the 360. Played about an hour and needed a break. Pretty cool so far.

weird i didnt have any problems with that ... steam platform update took a little longer than usual but that was all .. maybe restart you PC and your connection and try again .. u might have pinged out and the message u get is by defoult.

I haven't measured the fps but it plays very similarly to CoD5 and the visuals are good at 1024x768.

I have a modest rig - i7 860, 4GB RAM and Radeon 4870.

Some of the servers have been a bit laggy and several of Treyarch's have been falling over under the strain.

One got stuck in a loop at the end of a game in Nuke Town and players just got nuked over and over without the game starting.

 

I'm up to Level 12 now but it's been a hard slog and I have three custom classes equipped.

The under-barrel flamethrower attachment is handy but a reload takes forever - not as deadly as in CoD5 by a long chalk.

I don't think much of the shotgun even with a grip and a claymore will set you back  5000 CP so they aren't cheap.

 

I've played mostly FFA, best placing third with a k/d of 1.00 (no, I don't think I'm going to set the world on fire in this game either!).

TDM was pretty disastrous - think I lost the team the game so made a rapid getaway...

It should only download an update from Steam when you have installed the game from the disc.

what chckn says worksssss!!!!!!! thanks chicken now it takes me only 20 minutes instead of 9 hours

i luv ya chickn

for all the peps they dont want to waste there time do that:

For those who need a step-by-step 'tutorial':


1: If it is downloading, pause the downloads!
1a: Can't pause? Or takes too long? Plug out your internet connection!
2: Right click "Call of Duty: Black Ops - Multiplayer"
3: Select "Delete Local Game Content" and select OK if anything pops up
3a: Game should be greyed out now
4: Right click "Call of Duty: Black Ops" (this is the singleplayer)
5: Select "Delete Local Game Content" and select OK if anything pops up

6: Goto your Steam Folder. (eg: C:\Program Files\Steam)
7: Open folder "SteamApps"
8: Open folder "common"
9: Remove the "call of duty black ops"-folder
10: Close Steam (rightclick tray icon, select EXIT)

11: Plug in your Internet Connection
12: Wait 30s for it to make sure it is connected

13: Press the WINDOWS-KEY + R. This will open up a "RUN"-Box
14: Type in, with quotes: "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install H:
15: Replace the C:\Program Files... with your location of Steam.exe
16: Replace 'H:' with your DVD Drive where the Black Ops DVD is in
17: Press the Enter button ("Return" in English)

It should run Steam. Login to your account.
Now a new window should pop-up saying it needs 8MB on disk to install or something.
Press NEXT and wait. Just wait. And it will install from Disk (you will see ~8GB that will be installed).

Steam will probably freeze sometimes. Just let it run and close any background running things like MSN, ICQ, Internet browsers, etc.

That should work. It's installing for the second time now, for me. Just to make sure this step by step tutorial worked.

edit: Steam will download approx. 100MB after install. This is normal. Just let it download. Due high loads on the Steam servers and thousands of raging players that want to install COD: Black Ops, it will take between 10 and 40 minutes.

 

thaniks to chickn hes the maaaaannnnnn
