For anyone considering this game I hope this helps.

1. Highly consider getting it for console.
2. PC is a chopfest and it doesn't matter your cpu or gpu, it's choppy as hell.
3. PC is infested with cheats and by that I mean, the aimbot source sites on the net are getting record downloads for this game. It's a free for all to cheat on Black Ops.
4. Like #3, each map has exploits and shitty attitude people playing on PC are using them to the n'th degree.
5. Despite the nice appearance of this fix list, PC is getting very little attention. These guys barely even participate in the community.

Console controls may not be nice as the keyboard+mouse combo but when you consider the above it's miles better overall. I have a PS3 version and PC and lately I haven't touched PC, just is absolutely no fun. It's very second rate.

I got it on 360 and it plays well, have to say I am starting to wonder whether I need a gaming PC any more, as much as I love it and as much as I dislike joy pads the hassle with gaming on the PC is starting to wear me down.

There will always be PC and Console exclusives so both plats will always have support. For myself and MANY of my associates a PC has its place while the console has its own. When both cross, I always now expect the PC to be lackluster supported. Thats ok though as thats the latest gaming biz happening these days. PC games do it for me -- I just never get into consoles (too spoon-fed, dumbed-down, and generally mindless) but of course there is always room for that when you want to "lay it all out" and just frick'n have fun. So PCs will be stay around -- there is simply too much new h/w to grow there but maybe someday it will be more than niche.

This is about Black Op's which is not an exclusive for anything. Quite simply, the PC version sucks. What's the use of high end graphic cards if all they are used for is benchmarks and crap quality consolized bugged up versions of games?

Maybe because the game devs could give more than a sh*t to work at least a few lazy months to optimize the PC version? Its pretty clear: the industry isn't about tweaking/optimizing for the PC platform anymore as its about the mighty $$$$$$$.$$ now. Not a bad thing I suppose as money talks but the PC version of most console ports is basically a "tard muffin" of their console counterparts due to lazy development.

I quite liked the game to be honest, i am not much of a console gamer, though i did get Fable II and III on the 360, didn't want to wait for the pc version.

For me, Black Ops is totally smooth for me, not sure why its slow for you, maybe you need to upgrade your system?

The game was good as is, granted there were bugs and when is there ever a game that has no bugs at all and alot of you seem to moan and cry about how short the game was.........you do know it was a FPS game right? its meant to be short, but sweet, which it was, i have already finished it 20 times and its yet to get old.

If you want a good storyline and long game, go play some RPGs, like Mass Effect or something, that lasts for like 40hrs if you take your time like you should.

It just seems like you guys complain regardless, you want every game to look as good as crysis, as long as Mass Effect and have a story as good as Mass Effect, sorry, but that will never happen, the last open-ended FPS game i played was Farcry 2 and that outright sucked to me, Crysis looked good, but thats all it had, gameplay sucked, can't moan about story, since its a FPS, not a RPG.

Well I am happy for you that it works great on PC. Unfortunately on PC you are what I believe, a minority. Based on the fact the game is made from the W@W engine and doesn't do anything much more graphically there is no reason at all to upgrade my hardware. I exceed all the requirements for the game. It runs silky smooth on my PS3 so I will continue to monitor the boards and when people start saying it's not a chopfest anymore I'll take a look at playing it on PC again.
