I'm considering getting it, how broken is it? Or are the patches good. All other sites are people just qq'ing or others telling them to stfu.

it was fixed 2 days ago.

The SP campaign crashed on me twice, but MP works fine... except for the server browser, which isn't great.
 
I don't know how many people are still having "stuttering" problems, but that will probably depend on your system specs.

It's not broken anymore. It's fine.

I never had any problems with the SP campaign at all but the online was choppy. It's been fixed for the most part in the newest patch. So definitely go for it, it's an awesome game.

Today it has been a massive mess. Right after midnight Treyarch time (PST) it was like a DDoS attack hit them, but it turns out it's their side that messed some things up and the server browser company. 
 
One company maintains the game, one maintains the servers, one maintains the motherhumping server browser. 
 
Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Yeah, today has been kinda screwed on the servers. Shame! I blasted through the SP yesterday, just so i could focus on MP today. I'm Gutted!

No man, it's not fixed. You should hold out for a while, and check up on it later. The patches have barely fixed anything. The game has terrible performance on computers that are more than capable of running the game at it's max, when it's at it's minimum. They have issues to say the least...

Just played about an hour of the campaign.  It seemed ok to begin with but started stuttering pretty badly midway through the second level - seems like a memory leak rather than a performance issue.  It was pretty unplayable by the time I alt-tabbed out, which killed it.

Depends on your hardware specs. I'm getting 30-60 fps with a GTS 250 running at max except for anti-alias set to 2x (anti-alias is a performance hog) and set at 1680x1050 resolution. Its playable.  Granted the optimization doesn't add up with the lack of any graphical changes, but you can't expect PC games to support hardware that's older than 3 years, especially in this day and age where PC ports are unoptimized as hell.

Im am one of about 2 people who have had zero problems with this game. I lost my class changes once in multiplayer and lost about 6k COD points, but I think that may have been an issue of my internet dieing in the middle of a saving screen. The singleplayer was perfect, it performed even better than COD4 and MW2 combined, no crashes, stuttering or bugs.

 I have stuttering in MP after the patch, ever encounter seems to kill the frame rate. Ive already done 1st prestige in 30hrs but its been a nightmare, and I'm hoping that it will get better soon. I'm not wasting any time~pain is life and life is pain.

If you don't have a lot of RAM, be careful.  Game dominates RAM, and I'm getting awful performance from my lack of RAM.  Originally had 1gb, and ran CoD4 perfectly fine.  Yet had to throw another in to at least get it playable, and it still stutters a lot.  I would recommend getting a demo, or a "demo", just to see how it runs.

Myself and most of my friends (and from what people are saying in matches most of the PC community) are still getting serious stuttering problems with this game (in both MP and SP).  We all have decent gaming rigs and can play other games fine.   
 
It's crazy how bad the PC launch has been, their community manager just keeps tweeting about the PS3 and 360 version and how many sales records they keep breaking when the PC version doesn't work for many people.  I haven't seen many gaming websites talk about it (PC gamer gave the game 60% due to the problems).  
 
Any other PC gamers fed up?

The problem isn't my computer, I've tried all the .cfg file tweaks and made the game look like quake 3 by turning the settings down and I still get all the stuttering issues.  In some cases I've found lowering the settings make the issues worse.  I just got a copy of the new need for speed game and can run it no stuttering max settings, I can run MW2 and WaW full settings with no stuttering, plus I can run crysis (on high settings)  with no stuttering.
 
The problem is in the software, I'm listening to the PC gamer podcast right now and they are having similar problems on some machines which are well above the spec and are also saying it's software.

Yep I'm still having issues with the game even after patches and getting latest drivers.
I'm sporting a core i7 , 8 gigs of ram, and  ATI HD 5870
Yet even turning off shadows, AA and AF I'm still getting stutters during a firefight.
Which means I die.

I lol'd, but I'm a dick.  Getting the game for PC this evening since according to my bros it's not broken at all. "

From the singleplayer point of view, it's pretty good. A few minor bugs here and there, nothing too big.

So, got the game all set up now, had some corrupt data or shit but fixed it within 5 minutes. Have noticed a few fps drops here and there but I doubt it ever went below 25. 
  
I have 4 GB RAM, Intel Q6600 quad core @ 2.4 GHz and a 9800 GT. 
 
It also seems like this game doesn't overheat my graphic card as quickly as MW2 did, or maybe not even at all which is pretty god damn odd considering it looks even more beautiful. 
 
Also had no connection problems at all, my biggest gripe with the game atm would be the find ranked match option doesn't allow you to choose exactly what you want. Sure, I like HC HQ, but I still prefer non-HC TDM, Domination and CTF. 
 
Also think I saw an aimbot/wallhacker or something, because he was moving EXTREMELY twitchy. But I ain't even mad, because this game just feels a lot better balanced than MW2 did so it's a lot easier to stay calm.

" because he was moving EXTREMELY twitchy.  "  

I have given up completely for now. The last patch fucked everything up again. I'm willing to bet things will be finally playable when a third patch comes, plus new video drivers. Until then, guess I'll go play Minecraft or something.

Dude who games on 2GB of RAM these days, let alone 1? 4GB is pretty much standard for all gaming machines. "

More people then you probably expect.   Just pointing out it is a badly optimized game, and if you can run CoD4/MW2 it doesn't mean you can run this.  Which I assumed would be the case. "
