Call of Duty: Black Ops has glitches on the PlayStation 3
Enlarge picture
After yesterday's sudden report that Call of Duty: Black Ops suffers from intense lag on even the most powerful PC setups, it seems that the PlayStation 3 versions of the game are also suffering from an array of bugs and glitches, as reported by members of the Treyarch forum.

Call of Duty: Black Ops has been one of the most anticipated titles of the year, promising to continue in the highly successful footsteps of last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

After its release at the beginning of the week, gamers were shocked to see that the game they eagerly awaited was pretty broken, not only the PC, as highlighted by the dozens of comments we received at yesterday's story, but also on the PlayStation 3, as seen on multiple topics in Treyarch's forum.

According to forum members, the PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops has multiple issues involving framerate, freezes, crashes, and other options that don't work as they should.

Here's the full list seen on the forum topics:

Reported Bugs
- Party Invite System not working, unable to join friends even with public chosen
- Leaderboard not reading correct kills
- Framerate issues, affecting gameplay
- Theatre mode not working correctly
- Respawns, issue spawning near enemies on smaller maps
- Game freezing PS3 Console
- Party option "Leave with party" not working correctly
- Locale Search option not working
- Mic's not showing in lobby
- Error "Disconnected due to transmission Error" appears after some games

Reported Glitches
- Knifing mechanic seems to act like Commando lunge from MW2

According to other reports on the web, PlayStation 3 owners who are trying to experience the game on 3DTVs are also experiencing freezes while trying to play with its 3D mode enabled.

Have you been experiencing bugs and glitches on the PlayStation 3? Share your thoughts below.

Comment #1.1 by: luki on 13 Nov 2010, 20:55 GMT

game freezes on my ps3 ...playing online mode... every time i must restart ps3 ... WTF !?

Comment #1.2 by: frustrated on 16 Nov 2010, 10:33 GMT

I haven't been able to complete a single match in multiplayer. Freezes and requires a manual shutdown of PS3. Un freakin believable.

Comment #1.3 by: rook on 16 Nov 2010, 17:22 GMT

the game dont work and the frame rate issue is not mentioned from developers why??

Comment #1.4 by: midgey007 on 19 Nov 2010, 14:54 GMT

Every time i join a friend on-line me or my friends get kicked out EVERY F*CKING TIME, im sick of it, and my ps3 crashes and i need to shut the whole thing down. im starting to think about buying an X Box. Realy disapointing WTF!!!

Comment #1.5 by: jessi803 on 04 Feb 2011, 16:55 GMT

Comment #1.6 by: jordan on 31 Dec 2011, 13:56 GMT

Comment #2 by: Tej on 11 Nov 2010, 09:08 UTC reply to this comment

This is why you get an Xbox.

Comment #2.1 by: carltonec on 12 Nov 2010, 16:58 GMT

The xbox version is screwed too. I know, I have been complaining about it since I got it on release day. Really bad bugs.

Comment #2.2 by: NOPE on 12 Nov 2010, 23:49 GMT

Seems like an xbox wont cure that seeing how mine and a few others are experiencing the same thing...

Comment #2.3 by: ps3fan on 13 Nov 2010, 05:45 GMT

no xbox is just the problem

Comment #2.4 by: BOB on 14 Nov 2010, 19:01 GMT

i hate xbox
and xbox 360


Comment #3 by: stevenr271 on 11 Nov 2010, 09:10 UTC reply to this comment

I have had all of these that are stated and the worst one is not beingable to play nazi zombies with my friends.

Why cant you sort this all out with an update that is ready to be updated later today?


Comment #4 by: harry14 on 11 Nov 2010, 09:15 UTC reply to this comment

i online gameplay keeps logging me out and the game freezes.


Comment #5 by: zBaRReTT on 11 Nov 2010, 09:34 UTC reply to this comment

Not any problems on xbox, yet again another reason to buy an xbox. :) or two...


Comment #6 by: mafuh2o on 11 Nov 2010, 09:44 UTC reply to this comment

I have had no such problems - other than being kicked out of a lobby twice in just over 5 hours.......but then I had the sense to buy an Xbox :)


Comment #7 by: Treyarch_Sucks on 11 Nov 2010, 09:45 UTC reply to this comment

I can't sprint or throw grenades but on every other game I have L3 and R2 work fine but with black ops I can't run or use my tomahawk or grenades. What a waste of money. Thanks treyarch

Comment #7.1 by: Etch on 20 Nov 2010, 19:40 GMT

I'm having the exact same problem. I put MW2 back in, and I can run and throw as per normal, so I know it's not me or the controller. It's driving me crazy because it seems to be working for everyone else and this is the first report I've seen of someone having the same problem.

Comment #7.2 by: mike on 23 Nov 2010, 07:24 GMT

Im having the same problem. Mine was working just fine for the first week or so but now i cant sprint and when i throw a gernade i cant release it and it blows up in my hand. Not sure but sucks.

And about the XBOX i had one of those also and it wont even turn on.

Comment #7.3 by: Steve on 02 Dec 2010, 00:12 GMT

yup, Same problem here. i find that if you try and throw a grenade you have to hit pause to let it go. but most of the time the target is already gone by the time you get it out of your hand. Not to mention just the time your standing there and not being able to sprint out of harms way. So very very annoying.

Comment #7.4 by: echo_assassin34 on 08 Jun 2011, 18:28 GMT

i try to sprint and it wont let me but when i try it throws grenades

Comment #7.5 by: payton ward on 29 Feb 2012, 21:36 GMT

Comment #8 by: rs1126 on 11 Nov 2010, 09:48 UTC reply to this comment

you guy are all retarded
and none of this has happened at all on at least 10 diff ps3's. all of my friends got this and have had no issues with zombies public or private. and as far as "thats why you get an x box is hilarious bc if i wanted to replace my game system every 6 months bc of cheap manufacturing then yes i will get an x box

Comment #8.1 by: echo_assassin34 on 08 Jun 2011, 18:30 GMT

nobody wants a gay xbox we dont wanna pay to play online. ps3 is the best system out there and you know that but it has some problems right now which will be fixed


Comment #9 by: JMFG on 11 Nov 2010, 10:37 UTC reply to this comment

This isn't a reason to get a 360. They just need to stop making the cod games so fast. That's why I wont buy it.


Comment #10 by: GuessWho on 11 Nov 2010, 11:48 UTC reply to this comment

On the PS3. I can't get past the guard on the first level. I use the Melee as described but then it says "your actions caused your team to be killed". They are standing right next to me!!!! I tried shooting him, knifing him, melee then hide, melee then crouch, melee then lie on the floor, melee then run.... nothing works.
I tried different difficulty levels and even removing the game altogether and starting again... still not working!!. WTF.

Comment #10.1 by: Etch on 20 Nov 2010, 19:38 GMT

I'm having this exact same problem. I'm hoping the next patch fixes it.

Comment #10.2 by: mkb187 on 31 Dec 2010, 06:27 GMT

I am having this problem no matter what I do I cannot get past the guard. I even returned that game to see if that was the problem same thing happened. Did anyone figure this out.

Comment #10.3 by: kurosat on 22 Feb 2011, 01:51 GMT

having the exact same problem tried everything.. this sux can't even play a f'n game no one else i know has these problems


Comment #11 by: DrewsterX on 11 Nov 2010, 11:50 UTC reply to this comment

I have PS3 and was experiencing Lag issues and disconnections 1oth Oct all evening. Also noticed Mic's in lobby not working. Overall unimpressed coming from MW2 this looks like major downgrade in graphics and perfomance. I thought Nuketown was a joke type cartoon map it's so badly drawn! Textures/effects audi and visual are weak and weapons are badly drawn, no "weight to the characters. (All on muliplayer....;) DrewsterX


Comment #12 by: chubbie on 11 Nov 2010, 12:31 UTC reply to this comment

anybody getting flashing colors all over there screen during gameplay

Comment #12.1 by: kingrollo06 on 18 Nov 2010, 00:30 GMT

yes, all the time also in menus and it freezes when it wants to

60gb fatboy ps3


Comment #13 by: DesistOrDie82 on 11 Nov 2010, 13:08 UTC reply to this comment

yeah had a few problems on the ps3 but im sure they will sort it with a patch or two. has there been any official word from treyarch regarding the problems?


Comment #14 by: Firefly on 11 Nov 2010, 13:48 UTC reply to this comment

Getting all of these problems. I wouldnt mind the others as much if it wasnt for the * freezing. I have to restart my PS3 at least 5 times within a single sitting. Its dispicable that such a highly anticipated game should have so many problems on release. If Treyarch had done an open beta before launch, we wouldnt have to deal with this crap. Its ruining the experience of, what is potentialy, a fantastic game.


Comment #15 by: Bstyler85 on 11 Nov 2010, 13:52 UTC reply to this comment

I have all the same problems on my ps3, i have noticed frame rate problem 10 seconds after i started playin online, i shared my thoughts with some other friends about it but they said im retarded, the very first thing that itches me its when game us about to start and countdown begins you can spot that those digits are not flowin correctly, second non stop connection gets interrupted, and pretty much who ever is a host and leaves game will never jump to different host just simply disconnect, mics not visible in lobby is not really big issue but i have it along with other flaws mention above by others, anyways i hope that treyarch will come up with some patches that will fix the problem !

Comment #17 by: jenne on 11 Nov 2010, 14:54 UTC reply to this comment

freezing all the time and it takes me and my friends around 15 min to get a lobby then after one game the lobby closes and we have to wait another 15min to join a new game, sigh..


Comment #18 by: Jack on 11 Nov 2010, 14:56 UTC reply to this comment

the party option "leave with party" and Mics not showing in lobby are my main concerns When will it be fixed?


Comment #19 by: wards2008 on 11 Nov 2010, 15:09 UTC reply to this comment

Im having all the same problems as above, very frustrating and annoying. Makes the game look very very bad. I played for a few hours the other day and I never properly finished one game, kept frezzing getting kicked, delays, then after it ends early it kicks you out of the party- Pure Shite- game is great but come on, Modern Warfare 2 was not were near as bad. Bring back Infinity Ward please


Comment #20 by: breadfan35 on 11 Nov 2010, 15:17 UTC reply to this comment

I've had almost all of these problems. I understand Xbox players pay to play which is why their console gets more attention, but to launch what was considered "The Biggest game of 2010" and have it be this glitchy is unacceptable. Is it any wonder that people look at Treyarch as producing games inferior to the once mighty Infinity Ward?


Comment #21 by: Fart in your FACE on 11 Nov 2010, 16:05 UTC reply to this comment

X boxs is wooking good i think that it is bad * way better then Modern 2


Comment #22 by: BLACKEROPS on 11 Nov 2010, 17:09 UTC reply to this comment

had these problems and i have AN XBOX...


Comment #23 by: Hibby on 11 Nov 2010, 17:19 UTC reply to this comment

Having major trouble trying to play black ops online........ i can play it no problem off line but as soon as i try to go online it just freezes.....anyone got any ideas???


Comment #24 by: ChrisP on 11 Nov 2010, 19:42 UTC reply to this comment

Tej, its the same on xbox mate, according to the leaderboards i have over 50000 kills, 35000 deaths and 4000 assists in 80 games.

The respawn system isn't very good, on all maps, not just the small ones. But it happens on nuketown and firing range the most.

I was in private chat, and the mic wasnt showing, dont know if you have to be in game chat for your mic to show.

At the end of a game, every time there is a killcam, it says "connection error", this doesnt happen if you are the host.

Knifing is definately like a lunge, and sometimes when you try to knife from point blank range, you still lunge and completely miss the enemy.

I know it isnt a glitch or a bug, but isnt it a bit ridiculous when you get nuketown 4 games in a row because you can vote on the previous map?

Once again, not a bug or glitch, just an annoyance that lots of gamers have pointed out. Wasting more than half a round (getting hitmarkers), person coming round the corner, killing you in three bullets. ;)

And this is on xbox, not just ps3


Comment #25 by: blackops jhatta on 11 Nov 2010, 19:55 UTC reply to this comment

everygame i get in too glitches the first 10 seconds and freezes very bad... very frustrating to knife!!! players that r around u in team played matches also cause ur player to stutter and freeze. many times i see issues with terrain and textures, they jus look horrible and not realistic...

this game was poorly put together and almost seems like it was rushed for production ...

i was very disappointed in black ops after pre ordering the game and playing it the night it came out.

still today 3 days after the game release i keep giving it chances bc of my 86 dollars investment for the hardened edition. treyarch definitely should issue a recall on this horrible game. or perform an update to clear all those horrible graphics, glitches, and online play. the only kool thing about the online play is the 2 person co op online, and zombies. im sure infinity ward is laughing their asses off at this poorly created game. i would have honestly expected more from a freshmen in college on windows 95 pc to develop a better looking game...............

Comment #25.1 by: BravoTango on 15 Nov 2010, 18:13 GMT

Treyarch is the one laughing. They blew mw2 sales out of the water. We just need to hope Treyarch sticks to their word and fixes all this stuff.


Comment #26 by: calmoflage on 11 Nov 2010, 19:57 UTC reply to this comment

not only does it have the above problems is it just me or is the sound of grenades etc sound like ps1 quality mod war 2 sound roks but this is a poor game on line its missing some thing like atmosphere. i just feel its been chucked out to get our money , i cant even be bothered to go bak and play it and im only level 7 mod war 2 im on my way bak to a real war game ..

Comment #26.1 by: Sonny on 02 Jan 2011, 18:37 GMT

you must be the dumbest person i've ever seen comment. honestly. a real war game? ROFL. do you think that war is really like that? you get perks and call in killstreaks for downing a set amount of enemies in a row? LOL. do you think you can respawn in real war/ you must be 10 years old.


Comment #27 by: PADRA on 11 Nov 2010, 20:56 UTC reply to this comment

Hey guys my ps3 turning itself off when playing black ops, tried other games and DVDs all works good. Put black ops on again turns console off. HELP


Comment #28 by: Phil on 11 Nov 2010, 21:19 UTC reply to this comment

I have just been playing black ops and completed a level, next thing whilst autosaving was in progress the screen went White and the system crashed, I restarted the system and now the machine will not find any discs (games or dvd's) any ideas what this may be? I appears that the laser has become inoperational during game play???


Comment #29 by: Mr Biggs 07 on 11 Nov 2010, 22:33 UTC reply to this comment

Black ops on ps3 is frustrating. Keeps freezing and crashing out of maps. Have waited along time for this and frankly it's disappointing . Updates needed fast !!!!!!


Comment #30 by: kilroypowerboy on 11 Nov 2010, 23:49 UTC reply to this comment

I get kicked from post game lobby along with other friends instead of continuing to next map.
Gamelist older or newer than friends list and can't play until rebbot.
Full lobby and game won't start.
Ps3 system.


Comment #31 by: Ano_M on 12 Nov 2010, 00:04 UTC reply to this comment

I'm playing the game in campaign mode, it's on story mode and suddenly the screen just turns black, game crashes. Nothing to do but restart my PS3. But still crashes at exactly the same place (Before Nova mission). HELP!

Comment #31.1 by: Tez on 12 Jan 2011, 07:18 GMT

I get the same thing.....Stuck here in eternal darkness. Only 1hr of entertainment, want my money back


Comment #32 by: none on 12 Nov 2010, 02:33 UTC reply to this comment

My thoughts are Black Ops does not hold a candle to Medal Of Honor. Medal Of Honor is what is now at this time and day. Great weapons, the on line game puts Black Ops to shame. The only thing Black Ops has going for it , was the time it takes to beat the game. Black Ops was alot longer. But Medal Of Honor whith Dice has Black beat hands down. Black Ops was the same old Call Duty. They have to go modern weapons and they have got to use what is going on now. They allso have got to get better graphics. They should use Dice. In my opion Black Ops Did not even come close to making the grade. Thank You Sam


Comment #33 by: bigkuno_97 on 12 Nov 2010, 04:00 UTC reply to this comment

i returned the game it logs me out psn lags too much...frezzes n too many hackers so im stickin with cod 4 and mw2


Comment #34 by: M3rCUrIAL on 12 Nov 2010, 07:30 UTC reply to this comment

i cant hear any enemies footsteps even with a headset


Comment #35 by: caldawg on 12 Nov 2010, 09:42 UTC reply to this comment

the new black ops game has the graphics similar to cod 3 and the cod games are meant to get better


Comment #36 by: kiltonic007 on 12 Nov 2010, 10:21 UTC reply to this comment

The reason why its so buggy is because they only tested fully on Xbox not ps3, and they put a lot of unnecessary crap in the game to make it overly complicated, another thing is that the graphics and character animation is * ! Infinity wards a better developer over all , even though mw2 had unpatch bugs. At least it looked good and it was fun for 1 whole year.


Comment #37 by: Connor on 12 Nov 2010, 10:49 UTC reply to this comment

I think this just shows the superior gaming platform, Pc AND Ps3 have lots of glitches and lagging and Xbox (the superior one) runs smoothly with absolutely no lag or glitches.

Comment #37.1 by: carltonec on 12 Nov 2010, 16:56 GMT

That's a load of bunk. I have an xbox360, and this game has more bugs in it than a cockroach infested shack.


Comment #38 by: Biggie on 12 Nov 2010, 12:37 UTC reply to this comment

YES ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND ISSUES ARE TRUE, THERE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES WITH COD BLACK OPS ON THE PS3. LAGS WAAAYYY TOOOOO MUUCCCHHHHH....!!!!!


Comment #39 by: Jetsfan10 on 13 Nov 2010, 03:57 UTC reply to this comment

Can't get into team deathmatch in a party, we just keep getting booted out plus a friend of mine lost all his rankings and stats, has this happened to anybody?


Comment #40 by: ps3fan on 13 Nov 2010, 05:45 UTC reply to this comment

black ops has been freezing while im in multiplayer, i have to restart my ps3 by the console and i want to know why it has been doing this.


Comment #41 by: DAVE on 13 Nov 2010, 15:38 UTC reply to this comment

the footsteps make no sound either! you can hear your own footsteps inconsistently (3 footsteps every 10 steps or something) but you cannot hear enemy footsteps, even with a headset.


Comment #42 by: jason on 13 Nov 2010, 18:19 UTC reply to this comment

story mode completely freezes and you have no choice but to shut down the PS3 because pressing buttons won't do anything


Comment #43 by: old bent corey on 13 Nov 2010, 22:00 UTC reply to this comment

Comment #44 by: ookokoko on 14 Nov 2010, 00:03 UTC reply to this comment

why would you want to get a xbox they are rubbish they always brake on you , my partner has fixed 10 or more xboxes in the last 2 months


Comment #47 by: Gunga on 14 Nov 2010, 01:10 UTC reply to this comment

I am on my third purchase of the game and it still won't even play. I have restored default data twice as per sony's advice and it did load and let me play for 40 minutes, but as soon as I tried to go online it crashed and it is back to not even loading. Keeps telling me to clean the disk. My PS3 plays every other game and I have never had any issues before. Extremely frustrating and the game is going back to the shop till they fix these problems.

Comment #47.1 by: lordbonghitz on 14 Nov 2010, 11:07 GMT

got a freezes like around 5 times a day
very much times failures at lobbies

Comment #48 by: Tortex on 14 Nov 2010, 12:42 UTC reply to this comment

So why haven't I had a single issue on my PS3?

Oh, I have, but not any of the ones listed. I can't hear ANYTHING anyone says in the game. When firing a fixed MG I can't hear the rounds being fired. Very annoying, but no crashes.


Comment #49 by: skullhead214 on 14 Nov 2010, 12:45 UTC reply to this comment

game play is great can't join teamdeath matchs or get booted


Comment #50 by: psymon119 on 14 Nov 2010, 13:55 UTC reply to this comment

Here's a thought: Don't try to rush your game just to make the 1 year anniversary of your last game. Don't release a game until it's finished. And sure as hell don't make the same mistake this time next year just because this game sold so well. You can bet all this profit was from ANTICIPATION of a great game, and definitely not because someone bought the game, decided it was amazing, and recommended it to all of their friends. 4/10 all around.


Comment #51 by: derty on 14 Nov 2010, 15:57 UTC reply to this comment

Glad to hear the complaints. i thought it was my internet or ps3 acting up. game is tight but with all the glitches. it's a big let down..

no sound during online play, only other players talking


Comment #57 by: illdetails on 15 Nov 2010, 17:26 UTC reply to this comment

MY PS3 IS CONNECTED ONLINE BUT IT WON'T LET ME JOIN A GAME ON THE PS3 NETWORK FOR BLACK OPS. I CAN'T EVEN ACCEPT MY FRIENDS INVITES. WTF. THIS IS FRUSTRATING! DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS ISSUE SOLVED. I'VE TRIED OPENING PORTS WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO?


Comment #58 by: B.Mills on 15 Nov 2010, 23:37 UTC reply to this comment

Yes, please please get that patch out soon. Also when entering into private matches say on zombie mode, I can hear one friends mic but not the others. Tried everything to sort this, not a mic problem either. I know lots of ppl that have gone back to MW2.


Comment #59 by: COD Fan on 16 Nov 2010, 18:33 UTC reply to this comment

This is unacceptable, how they justify charging so much for a broken, bug filled game ???


Comment #60 by: frustrated on 16 Nov 2010, 18:55 UTC reply to this comment

game freezes on ps3, i have to get up to manually shutdown/restart ps3. also spawned near enemies which is frustrating when there are four of them staring at you. the lag is probably as bad as the game freezing, i dont know if its frame rate issues or server issues, but they have to fix it, now.


Comment #61 by: XxScOpEd-KiLzxX on 17 Nov 2010, 00:36 UTC reply to this comment

Every time I try to play online I select find match when it says player match wager match and so on I select player match and then when I get to the screen that says core hardcore hardened and prestige they are all grey. When I try and play campaign it shows me the video that plays before the mission but as soon as the mission starts the screen either goes all white or all black and I have to turn my ps3 off


Comment #62 by: dissolution2 on 17 Nov 2010, 02:05 UTC reply to this comment

game sucks... as it freezes or get connection error all the time, while playing online :( with in playing two to four games, i got two connection errors - found a new game.. both time, but still sucks... and it froze 3 times on me... making me have to reboot my sp3.

Comment #71 by: Roscoe on 20 Nov 2010, 16:55 UTC reply to this comment

I haven't been able to have an enjoyable gaming evening with because of all the bugs in this game. Activision and Treyarch should be ashamed of theirselves for releasing such a terribly broken piece of software. I can't believe they didn't see these issues during their beta testing. Perhaps they did but didn't want to delay the release because they wanted to have the money rolling in. I think a class action suit should be filed to allow unhappy consumers to get a refund on this game. I learned one lesson, I will not be buying the next COD after the issues I have seen with this one.

Here are the bugs I have seen on my PS3: Lag due to performance issues, Communication issues with party members, voice echoing, connection issues, graphics are not as good as MW2, 5.1 surround sound is a joke. This has been a real disappointment after all the hype that was built up!


Comment #72 by: POS on 21 Nov 2010, 00:10 UTC reply to this comment

fail!! doesnt matter now nice the game looks or even the name... If the game will not play more than 2 min without freezing then there is no point.. I wonder if they even bothered to test it before release.... With this in mind.. do you think the game makers will fix our ps3 when the hard drive gos bad because of the continual hard reboots we all have to keep doing just to get a good 30mins of game play... I personally had the game for a week now.. I cant even begin to tell anyone how many points I didnt get because i couldnt finish the game online.... I rate the game a 3 until this problem is corrected... Looks like to me there not working hard enough, hell they already got our money!!

Everytime I play, I would only be able to play for few minutes and then it would say " connection interrupted" when my connection has full bars

black screen in campaign play when trying to help woods open the the screen goes black and have sound?

Comment #76.1 by: developer number1 on 26 Nov 2010, 01:05 GMT

after reading most of the reviews/complaints and of course bursting with frustration all i have to say is..thank you very much treyarch for pulling my pants down and spanking my * , hope my hard earned money makes you very happy.
ultimately it comes down to treyarch not really giving a hoot wether the game was finished/ready for release, all tht matters is profit, as punters we feel robbed, ripped off, and angry, to those who have wrked on this game at treyarch its already been a massive success, the sales figures prove this, they are under no obligation to fix any of these bugs, the money is already in the bank people, sure they'll make a couple of half arsed efforts to tidy the game up but nothing more.

and what gets me the most, and probably we all have felt the feeling at some point, and thts we are to blame because we were all gonna buy this game regardless, we became so hooked on previous cod titles treyarch could have re-released sonic the fookin hedgehog, strapped a gun to him and called it little blue annoying ops and would have still rushed out to hand over our money, when all is said and done its like anything else, it all comes down to money, they knew the game wasnt ready, tht the games had bugs, but when they all sat around the table to discuss release dates any one thing mattered, christmas is coming so get the game on the shelf, anyways boys im winding myself up, ie for i cigarette, treyarch..=..wankers


Comment #77 by: jbishere75(PSN) on 25 Nov 2010, 17:04 UTC reply to this comment

i had an issue in campainge mode, not sure of the level, but you had to keep up with partner, and when i gave it gas, it made all the sounds but no, or very lttle movement onb screen, thus i couldnt keep up. That one has been fixed, now im unable to get through the infiltrate soviet lab, and confront the dr stiener, no matter what i do, i get spotted and slauhtered, so untill this one "fixes itself", im unable to finnish the game!


Comment #78 by: HonorTheCall on 26 Nov 2010, 01:55 UTC reply to this comment

I must say Treyard created a terrible flaw within Black Ops's design and functionality. Maybe the company will not have a chance to read this comment but just for everyone's information, this game needs to be fixed, starting from scratch. That said, I had to reboot my PS3 24 times within 6 hours period, particularly when playing online. The graphics for single player cannot compare to the previous installment, which was made by Activision. Please fix these issues or come to get the game back, for free. I will even let you guys keep my 60 dollars. Thank you Treyarch for the horrible development of this game.

Comment #81 by: avilla on 01 Dec 2010, 07:52 UTC reply to this comment

The frame rate is terrible makes the game look like a beta version...its pretty sad that infinity Ward had only a portion of there staff working on modern warfare 2 and treyarch had there whole staff on this and they did a half sorry job...get a patch out right away!!!!!!!!!


Comment #82 by: dirty-stoopie on 07 Dec 2010, 14:37 UTC reply to this comment

game freezes few times trough the day. Also there is a huge amount og lag in it. Cant proof it, but lagswitch is most likely in most cases. When with more than 2 people in a party its often a pain to join a server. It often splits youtr party up kicking half out of the lobby when the game starts.


Comment #83 by: lxgon on 08 Dec 2010, 08:36 UTC reply to this comment

Mine does the same thing. I cant finish two games without it telling me there a error or host lost, it really suck and needs to be fix. What a waste.

Comment #85 by: MIAGod on 11 Dec 2010, 16:21 UTC reply to this comment

I cannot believe I gave any money whatsoever for this POS game. This fix it later BS shouldnt be allowed by these game creator companies. I can see bug issues on a PC because they are built differently but they could have at least beta'd the game on a PS3. The only thing that was good about the game was zombies and it ultimately crashed.It made my slim drive work OT anytime I played the game. I was booted from a Zombie lobby rejoined froze the system, the game loads the splash then blackscreens. I didnt just walk out of the woods. I have wiped the game out reinstalled still nothing. Have fun with my money!!!

Comment #88 by: Jenizus on 04 Jan 2011, 20:39 UTC reply to this comment

out of no where my ps3 was glitching in the lobby by myself, the music kept restarting after 2 seconds of playing so i restarted and the game froze on a blank black screen. restarted once more and the game froze on main menu. and my ps3 itself made a loud popping sound, so i turned it off. let it sit for about 20 min and started back up once more it was fine after but wtf b0 is messing up also screwing over my ps3


Comment #89 by: Shakes on 13 Jan 2011, 12:16 UTC reply to this comment

the past few days i have not been able to run or throw grenades and im being placed in lobbies with nothing but foreigners unable to connect with friends. I thought the grenade and run issue may have been my controller messing up but when i changed games all buttons worked accordingly.

Comment #100 by: pango on 20 Mar 2011, 02:43 UTC reply to this comment

just did a system update as required on BLACK OPS now when starting up game it just freezes on initial start up , making game useless ..............


Comment #101 by: Annoyed man on 22 Mar 2011, 07:36 UTC reply to this comment

The PC version of Black Ops is experiencing all this and more. There was one day where my clan were playing and we were all really laggy and randomly we all teleported and some even got kick from our own server. Then when my founder tried to get back in he realized his levels reseted back to level 1 and so did mine. I quitted out and join back in and it was fine but my founders weren't. He even reinstalled the game and that didn't work.
He contacted treyarch and they refused to fix it so he got annoyed because he spent just over 800 hours on it.
Then he contacted activision seeing if they (making the last COD games) could do anything.
They also refused really rudely to.

This is just 1 of the many issues PC have and if you think that PS3 has more you are mistaken.


Comment #102 by: aadz on 28 Mar 2011, 10:15 UTC reply to this comment

Comment #104 by: Lacey on 30 Mar 2011, 07:09 UTC reply to this comment

I have a ps3 and when a friend and I play zombies and we're in the middle of the game, it like freezes up for about a 30 seconds or more and then it will say "lost connection to host"
Also in zombies when trying to use the box it won't let you use it, the "press and hold square" does not pop up, and usually the game freezes for about a min.
Also in multiplayer while running in will freeze on and off for awhile.
It's getting quite rediculous
I don't like being in the middle of a game and then losing connection to the host.
Please fix these problems somehow!
