Still doesnt make it a good game, look at MW2, was the best seller, aweful on PC.

I use gamebooster when i play games, it shuts down processes that are not needed. http://download.cnet.com/Game-Booster/3000-18512_4-10913645.html

Also, make sure if your previous video card was an integrated video card, that you go into your BIOS and disable the on board video..

Im gonna just go with the 570

Haha, I think I ruined my room mates bathrobe..awesome...Ive never noticed that line before.

Does an Octopuss have 8 Vaginas?

LOL, cause the servers that I do get, are rarely our servers

There are numerous routers that are causing issues with Black Ops, mine included. Ive been working with Netgear software engineers on the issue. I have a new Dual Band N WNDR3300 wireless router, Im hooked directly to the router, have forwarded ports, ran as a DMZ and turned off all firewalls, yet, I can only see maybe 1980 of the 12000 servers that are available. Out of curiosity, I hooked up an older wired Netgear RP614v2 router thats about 5 yrs old and I can see all 12000 of 12000 servers, weird huh. I then borrowed a new Wireless Netgear WNR1000v2 from work, I can see 4500 of 12000 servers, a tad better then my WNDR3300, but not as good as my old wired router. I believe alot of the issues with Black Ops is how it negotiates through routers, in my case, every router I try from Netgear has a different outcome. When I go directly from my cable modem to my PC, I see every server , much like my older router. So, thats why Im working with Netgear , hopefully finding an answer.

Do we really need unions period, they were created back when business owners treated their employees like crap. There are so many laws in place that they really arent nessessary anymore in this day in age. I do agree with what you are saying. My wifes been teaching now for 20 years, makes about 65,000 yr, she has a Masters and Bachelors degree in Education...Just 2 counties south, near DC, the same teacher makes 100,000 yr. Each year she goes back to work, I can see a huge difference in how parents get involved with their kids, its really sad to say that alot of parents arent working with their kids or caring what their kids are doing in school. 10 years ago, my wife was a kindergarten teacher, when she held a parent teacher conference she would get about 99% turn out from the parent, now shes lucky to get 40%. Parents arent making enough time for their kids , to work on things related to school , like our parents did with us. Parents basically see school now as a babysitter. We need more parent involvement, we need a family unit, not a single mom, not a single dad. We need functional familes to turn these kids around..Most of the problem with kids today and their education...starts at home! Us parents need to recognize and man up, I have a 16yr old and a 12 yr old boy...its not easy, But I try to make time to help them when I can. If they arent doing good in school, its partially my fault for not pushing them and getting the help they need. All in all, it was inappropriate thing for those 2 teachers to give their kids that as a lesson. I do agree!

My wifes a teacher here in MD, we are one of the highest ranked states for education. The teachers in our county havent had a step increase nor cost of living raise since 2008. This year the school board is decreasing their salaries by 2 percent, killing their pensions, furloughing the teachers, yet they expect them to pay for education expenses. We spend about $1500 a year for supplies for the classroom that the school expects her to have in her room, but wont provide the funds. She is constantly doing things at home to get ready for the next day while at home, without being paid for it...The teachers are being shit on. The unions are greedy tho.

Ive had issues up till now as well seeing servers in Black Ops. Ive tried verifying my game cache, forwarding game ports, open up a DMZ, removed all firewall, but was still only seeing maybe 1980 of 12000 servers. I did find though, that if I bypassed my router and went straight to my cable modem, that I could see all 12000 servers. I worked with Netgear tech support and they are sending me a different router. In the meantime I borrowed another Netgear from work and now im seeing maybe 4500 of 12000 servers, I guess thats better then nothing I suppose.

Not sure I want to know what prompted this post

Welcome!

I feel the Nvidia drivers are far more superior then ATi

I gave up on Black Ops, I can never see all the servers, maybe Ill try now that I have Windows 7

Unreal Tournament 3?

I know I wont pay anymore for the maps.

I had CCC corruptions, mom implementation issues on both pc's

Im going with the GTX570 , ATi has given me driver issues on Xp and Vista too many times....I do admit that the Gtx 400 series was a blunder.

Congrats People!!!

I love playing the NamFreezetag, but the maps are getting a little stale. Can we try a new theme for Freeze tag ? Something to get the players back in the server maybe?

Welcome!
