Thats right, i cant even get out of the first area because the game keeps crashing. COD has never done something like this, or for that matter, not many games launch in such a bad state. This is such a letdown after the excitment of the midnight release...

I'm not sure if its like this on consoles or not but the "superior" PC version sure is a let down.

How could you be pretty sure? And to the other guy i got an i3-2100, 8gb DDR3 1600, 2x 460 GTX at 810MHZ. I run on ultra and get 55-70 FPS, however i get random crashes. I'm running the Nvidia beta software they released during the BEta, its like 280.

Wierd, I have played for 8 hours today and not one crash!

The coop ran flawless and the multiplayer was good for the most part but a few bugs did annoy me. The campaign also ran very well, no crashes or slowdowns.

Im using the new nvidia drivers that got released this morning.

Update your video drivers recently? Not hearing many people sharing your complaint online, so I'd guess something on your end isn't up to snuff...

That's what PCs do. You should have got the game on a console if you wanted to be able to play it immediately.

Its DICE, what do you expect. Ask yourself. Have you EVER played a DICE game that wasnt a glitchfest and bugfest? The only game I can think of is Mirrors Edge and it was developed with Unreal Engine 3 which was already ironed out and perfected by another developer.

this is why i love consoles, no hassle with the little time i have for gaming. just pop in the game and its gauranteed to work and provide my hour or so of interactive entetainment. no need to go to forums and ask for others peoples specs and wonder why my game is only running at 38fps, or why my textures and AA aren't looking up to par.

I'm about half way through the campaign with zero crashes and zero stutters. I have not installed the latest Nvidia drivers though.

Try lowering your settings/fiddling around with the options?

It's not the game, it's your computer.

Perhaps you've just avoided the worst offenders, but numerousgames have released on the HD consoles this gen in a broken state - either online or in some instances, the SP campaign (Dead Island beinga great recent example...of both). It stinks really, but it's true.

And yet Skyrim will still remain a horrible, buggy mess at launch.

I'm sure he's going to make a thread about him playing BF3 on PS3 and praising it to the high heavens. :lol:

Yes instead you get 30 fps, no AA and sub HD resolution :roll:

Even your example of undesirable performance on PC is still better than consoles.
