Bushape
Does anyone consider that their computer system or settings may need tweeked. I have had very little trouble other than the server crashing periodically or some occasional lag. Other than that I have had zero problems. But I have a newer computer. So instead of blaming the game, trying tweeking your computer or ask somebody for help. It's a great game, as long as you can play it.
As always as time goes on your computer gets outdated, usually in about 3 - 4 years you need a new computer in order to keep up with all of the demands of the newer programs. Just a thought.
Well, Bush', mine is 9 months old, is a dedicated gaming rig with one of the latest Intel i7 processors running it and exceeds the required specs for the game big time. If you visit www.callofduty.com and browse the BO PC forum you'll get a feel for the scale of the problems affecting this game. It is seriously defective and requires patching - some people like you have been lucky to date but many others (certainly thousands if not tens of thousands) haven't been. We all have greatly different PCs yet the same problems affect us all. I find it reassuring to see that so many of us suffer constant freezing of the game.
While what you suggest may be true in some circumstances, it certainly is not the case for thousands of us. I'm waiting to see if a patch appears soon and shall not be playing BO a great deal, if at all, until it does.
