Mild lol.

Get an Xbox.

I want my time spent reading this back, right now

Inb4 typical GiantBomb console players saying "WHY DO PC GAMERS FEEL SO ENTITLED!" and to that I say. I'm sorry we want games that work instead of shitty console ports?

" @CL60: The PC patch is probably low priority because the money brought in by PC users is tiny compared to the money that is brought in by consoles.

It's funny cause console ports of PC games are almost always broked.

" It also doesn't help that PC gamers have long had a reputation of extreme kleptomania. "

Well that was worth reading.

okay

The funny thing is that the patches did fix my lag problems.

it totally works for me vOv

PC version must've still sold a few hundred thousand copies, you'd think they have at least a few people working on it.

Are you trying to say that I'm crazy or something? Apparently Activision forgot who started this rain of money for them. "

Not sure what your specs are, but I'm running completely fine after the patch.
And before the patch hit, my matches were almost unplayable.

Activision's job is to make money. 
 
They make money, and do what they do to keep money. 
 
If PC users don't like Activision is making shitty ports, don't buy it...and hopefully next year they try to give PC gamers a proper game.

There are still plenty of honest people playing PC games, just as there are people who pirate console games as well. Unfortunately the honest folks don't seem to matter, and publishers would rather whine about how pirates are ruining their business that they still make shitloads of cash from.

BO works better than MW2 did on my PC. 

It's okay! PC users can just mod it themselves to fix it! ...wait, you mean we can't do that anymore?  
 
Goddamnit.

I'm not going to lie. I found that fairly entertaining. I'm not sure if it's the kind of content that many people would understand, but still. I don't know much about the PC version of Black Ops, but surely the modders are going to find a way to fix anything and everything the community dislikes.

It wouldn't be free time if they were having a board meeting, would it?

God damn it, this is not /v/! Stop junking up the forums!

Not that funny, but whatever floats ye boat I guess.

These pictures speak the truth XD.

Splitting testing makes sense because it's not like MW2 with console and PC sharing everything and the terrible peer to peer matchmaking, but to not try with onboard sound - what a majority of PC gamers sadly use?
 
I bought a sound card for music production. I was asking for trouble. It ran fine in the Windows 7 beta, it ran old games fine, it even runs Blops perfectly fine, the only issues I've had with Blops have been that one thing that was solved early on by disabling demo recording. Realtek and Creative Labs are out to break your shit. My system has M-Audio sound and Intel networking, this patch made my FPS cap of 90 even more stable. The only soundcards to give me bluescreens over the years have been Creative Labs, most recently trying to get an old 5.1 Live! card to work in Win7.
 
 $50 used M-Audio 2496 PCI soundcard, $30 new Intel PCIe nic, problems solved, audio and networking quality improved plentyfold.

Been completely playable for me since launch and is now playable for most PC gamers. Already prestiged once. If you feel so ripped off I'm sure there are legal avenues for you to claim a refund via defective product.

....

PC games always have bugs. There's too many different hardware configurations and operating systems out there. What are you people bitching about? Are bugs new or something? I've never played a bug free game in my life.

Still not fixed for me.
It's fucking annoying when you die because your frame rate went to shit even tho you started shooting the other guy first
 
There are many people on PC for whom the patches didn't do anything.

The op doesn't seem to understand what the term "free time" means.

Lol, they probally never even tested the pc version.

This isn't what Activision does on its free time. Its what you do on your free time.
 
You need a better hobby.

" @LordAndrew: This is a classic chicken and egg situation isn't it? If Activision spends a ton of time and money making a kick ass PC port people are going to still pirate the crap out of it for whatever bogus reason they have thought up. Its not like having a well done PC port will make people buy the game; For example games made by Valve are still pirated on all platforms. If one of the very few developers that give 2 shits about the PC still get screwed by a portion of their users what chance does anyone else have? PC ports are a bullet point for most every game.  "

I think an even bigger problem is that the lag was barely discussed if at all by the sites I go to for reviews with the exception of destructoid.  Gamespot doesn't even mention it.  For me the patch actually fixed my lag, but before everything looked jerky and was almost unplayable.  MW2 was the same during it's launch.  I think the moral of the story is to buy it a month in when there have been enough patches to address all the problems.

where did the say something, say something else, big smile meme come from?

This. The problem for PC gamers is that there's no real solution for it. They can complain all they want, but there are no good solutions for developers, and any time developers try to come up with something new, PC gamers bitch and moan about it. I know, I used to be just like that ten years ago. PC ports are cheap enough to make from console games for a release, but don't bring in enough money to justify extensive support. If PC gamers actually bought their games, maybe this problem would go away. But too many PC gamers don't buy their games. Including a lot of people on these boards who claim that they do. Yes, I know this sucks for everyone who does buy games on the PC, but there just aren't enough of you guys anymore. Many (like me) gravitated to consoles for just this reason. "

Most of the problems PC players faced are easily fixed. But most people are to lazy to use google, and would rather bitch to treyarch.
