So is it lag or fps problems?

I heard that Black Ops is having horrible FPS drops. I'm almost certain that is the case because i'm seeing massive slow downs witht he picture/ game while my connection is 3 green bars. Better be patched... Anyone else having similar problems? I just keep blaming the host

Yes! The framerate is horrible. Like you, I'm hoping for a patch... but is it even possible to patch framerate issues? I'm really not sure... does anyone know?

I find this too :( I find a lot of lag in Black Ops where I see a guy before he sees me and I start shooting and I don't evenget a hit marker! And I watch the killcam it shows me not even shooting... Oh well, I can only hope for a patch

For me, it was terrible for two days at launch. Now it seems to get better. At times it still drops, and when using napalm it drops really rapidly for a while. But for me, its just about previous CoD games, maybe a little bit worse. Nothing horrible though. If they patch it to make it better, I would be really glad for that.tommyas

i didnt play much waw online, but i dont remember it having any framerate issues. i know cod4 and mw2 didnt have any framerate issues. in fact, black ops is the first online shooter ive played that had framerate problems.

yea lot of crappy hosts out there, people need to get decent internet if they play games online..

other than that the hit detection is less responsive than in mw2

I think most of you are mistaking frame-rates for lag. a55assin

I agree, the single player has no frame rate issues.

I think most of you are mistaking frame-rates for lag. Black Ops doesn't have any frame-rate trouble. Quite easy to come to this conclusion--simply play a single-player mission (campaign). For me, it runs smoothly, without any slow-downs. And since the game looks exactly the same and has just as much interactivity on multilayer, it's not a software/hardware problem, but, rather, internet-related. This is what happens when a game doesn't have dedicated servers: mayhem. a55assin

Lol no its not lag. I know what I'm seein. I know the difference. It's definitely the frame rate. Many other people have noticed th same thing. _SOULtoSQUEEZE_

Agree. Have you played Jungle much? It's terrible on that map.

i'm not a good fps player, K/D is always below 1.00 even in other games, though i can contribuite on other aspects... but the lag makes it even worse... especially during the past few days after launch. then, got a tip of changing the settings to "locale" and things got better... i'm in the Philippines, and when i play withasian neighbors, i get 3-4 bars... but when i get invited by a friend in the U.S., 1-2 bars max... i also wonder if the temporary fix of making a new account with minimal friends work? they say the constant update ofyour friends' activities isthe cause of the lag... but i don't wanna start over again...

It's already been announced that the Treyarch knows the lag is a problem, and is working on it. Not sure if anyone watches NextGenTactics but it's been stated that on the PS3 the more friends you have the more lag you will encounter. They say shaving down your list will help out to a degree.

yeah i know. its pretty bad on some parts of crisis and villa as well.

Both it seems. At times its just lag. but also FPS. Generally, it appears to be FPS issues more often then lag, at least for me.

My brother has it, and it seems fine what I've seen.

If any game needs a patch for framerate though its Fallout New Vegas.
