Black Ops 2 PS3 Code Error Frustrates Players

[King_Julian]

Blacks ops 2 has locked up my ps3 5 times in the past 24 hours. 3 times whilst in a hectic game of zombies and twice while it was simply at the main menu doing NOTHING!!

I really think the devs should be totally ashamed of themselves but there probably sitting there with there millions saying "yup, we did it again, another success".

Thats not black ops thats your ps3.

trust me its black ops. My ps3 never freezes with any other game,and all my other friends are having the same problem but only with zombies.


Got to round 24 last night, 2 of my friends ps3's froze, 1 at round 14 and another at round 17. we got to round 24 and decided to let the zombies kill us in order to save our new highscore. went down, died, black loading screen comes up with the little treyarc symbol in the bottom left corner and i notice its not moving, NOOOOO!!!! it froze on both of us. No new high score and im not playing again until a patch comes out.

I had to stop playing Blops 2 altogether, the lag compensation makes it unplayable 50% of the time.

Thank God I abandoned COD after MW3. Sounds like a mess. For all the pretty graphics and hype it was, I must admit an unhealthy glee in seeing Activision crash and burn so hard.

EA, Activision. Please for the love of pete, develop for consoles and pc all you want, wring money out of the customers and produce linear shooters for all I care. Get your codes right. Valve may be slow as heck but at least they don't seem to have launch problems as much as you do.

Wrong again bob.
Shogun 2 Total War Demo worked just plain peachy on my laptop. Full game came around, wouldn't boot. I LOVE Creative Assembly, but the demo having more hardware compatibility is a rather "interesting" bug I must say.
When you have games for PC that have XBox controllers on the menus, laziness comes to mind.

The PS3 architecture is different, based on the processor more than memory. The Cell processor is a beast to say the least, and more than makes up for the lesser memory on games that have been programmed to use the processor. The PC and Xbox utilize memory more, which is why developers have an easier time because that is what they are used to. Poorly done PS3 ports suffer greatly due to operational differences.
The hardware difference is no excuse for the PS3 to get ignore completely when it comes to DLC. The character models and levels are the same files as they are on all versions, and the code changes needed to access those files almost certainly has nothing to do with the main game engine (all the would need to be altered is the game engine's hardware management code).

The REAL reason that is not done is simple, Microsoft money. Sony has done plenty feature buying as well, of course.

Do PS3 owners expect the following?; "Hey, we just spent millions of dollars and years of work making Skyrim for the PC and Xbox...now lets go back to the drawing board and make it from scratch for the PS3"

Yes. If they want my money, they better Fking do that or dont even release it.

They still did, so never mind, I just play Bethesda games on my friends Xbox from now on. My laptop could still run it, but if they dont care, why should I?

I suspect you want to quote Li Mu here.

Anyway we are in agreement here. Beth games are actually shitty ports where as Dark Souls is perfectly playable.
(Although not with M&K, that I concede they should have done better)

Yes, my bad.
(Whats M&K? I just platinumed Demons Souls, and planning to jump into Dark Souls soon. Is it the DLC?)

On topic: Thank god im not into CoD enough to buy them and have these problems, i mean they are good for a nice and short single player experience, but thats about it, since im not into the multiplayer it doesnt worth the full price for me.

M&K = Mouse and Keyboard .
And Black Ops 2 looks like its quality again finally since COD4.
(played COD4 SP only and it was dumb fun, Black Ops 2 looks like its worth a rental)
I was going to rent it for Ps3 but this article saved me 8$ or so!

Oh, haha, well is think i just stick to my PS3 with the Souls series.

I did like CoD4, and im trying to catch up on the series, so if i ever end up buying a brand new release ill be in touch with whats going on and how things work. I just got tired of always hearing how "cod sucks", yet everyone buys it on day one and it breaks all records every year. At least now i know they are quite fun games, and far from "sucking", even if they arent my kind of games.

By the way im not sure you would be able to play the multiplayer and get this error on a rented copy anyway. If they still have the online-pass thing someone probably used it already. Though im not up to date with that, last time i had a pass with a game was Dead Space 2 and Mortal Kombat, so more then a year ago.

Accidental doublepost.

So glad i bought this on XBOX360 . NO PROBLEMS TO REPORT ! Anyways i only use my ps3 for jrpgs anyways.

simple solution for devs... if you arent willing to put the work/money into a title to ensure it works on a platform, dont fucking release it on that platform. i have NEVER had a problem with a ps3 exclusive, pretty much only on the shitty beth games... i usually just chalk it up to microsoft paying for early release and early dlc release, so the devs just make it work for xbox and pc, then arent willing to do the work for the ps3 port.

also, trying to blame the hardware for problems that only exist with certain games is asinine... if it were hardware issues, there would be problems with every game, not just the multi-platform games.
