[erik28911]

no xp ele ta bom

[WAFFLESxDv]

@pollenex1123 Download you're games from isohunt.com then.

[jjjjjjjjj1006]

@WAFFLESxDv thts wat i did but i got same problem as these guys

[WAFFLESxDv]

You have to have a bigger CPU idiots xD. You CPU usage would be ABOVE %100 causing the game to stop responding.

[nerfreviewteam]

@WAFFLESxDv Your the idiot, if you took the time to research you would know it requires a dual core because when cod:waw was made they used dual cores and it ueses the same game engine. smart ass -.-

[WAFFLESxDv]

@nerfreviewteam YEA DUAL CPU jackass, thats why I said it uses 100% off single CPU jackass

[WAFFLESxDv]

@nerfreviewteam Oh and I can play WAW with no dual cpu so what was that again?

[nerfreviewteam]

@WAFFLESxDv wait

i found the real problem

well it worked fine but when i added alter ops......... woah i need to find somthing better

[nerfreviewteam]

@WAFFLESxDv wait

u have a single core?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

noob, did you find your processor in a sewer?

[WAFFLESxDv]

@nerfreviewteam I found it in my bed with your mom dipshit

[1234macro]

FIX: right click the shortcut and the exe file go to properties\compatability and un-check run in compatability mode. thats why your mouse look like that in the game... cuz compatability is on

hope this helps

[ElboTheHedgehog]

@Realeonsgames My Intel i7 can barely run it at medium at 25 fps

[Frank9532]

I have an HP Omni 100 PC,

I Can Run:

Race Driver GriD medium specs.

CoD MW and MW2 with high specs.

Need For Speed Undercover & Shift high specs.

But CoD B.O doesnt run!! T_T what's the problem with that game??

[gonzalesmax12]

i get the same thing on the ps3 i keep turning it on and off till it works but it still freezes after every match for about 30sec idk y tho pisses me off

[faithlessaura]

same problem here..

[2010vittorio]

dats weird cuz dis game runs in slow motion in my quad core cpu with 4 gb ram

AND AN ATI HD4200, plzz help

[faithlessaura]

@2010vittorio try disabling your fire wall or managing it's exception to COD Black ops.

[sewal93]

you cant fix this problem by some programs

you need dual core cpu thats all if it still shows up see a clip about it

[TheMacoratt]

I have a phenon x6 with 8 Gb of memory and have the same problem (video card of 512 Mb- ATI 4800) Single proccess configuration is not set...so I really think is a bug in the software.

[003somnath]

Cheers! I am solved this problem. And it's worked perfectly. Solution: 1. run msconfig 2.in the boot menu click on advanced and unchecked all items. 3.restart your computer. If this process don't work with your computer then follow the next process. 1.Go to your bios settings 2.disable single processor option. Enjoy Friends!!

[mynameisleeyesitis]

treyarch need to go back to programming school.

perhaps they will learn how to support user content like maps and mods and dedicated servers like every other game developer since the internet began while they are there.

lmfao

[greenglob56]

Plzz i hav the same problem..!!! Plz held me..!

[thepricylon]

what if I have Black ops CD and i install it BUT i didnt have the steam code, so i have it as an non-steam game?? and it frezze there,! can someone help me??

[darshan181988]

for real press any key fix for black ops go to modernwarfare3pc.weebly.com.

[68cyberzen]

I've been playing this game without issue, but recently it started to freeze especially when I get close enough to knife someone - now I'm frequently finding servers I use regularly, lagging - and I'm not the only one complaining. I'm getting stuck and can't move all of a sudden Im getting really frustrated with the game!!!

[CaTaClIsT12]

I have the same problem.Treyarch if u read this pls FIX it and stop leavin PC behind!

[chalkbox12]

treyarch really fukd up

[NobleEagle1]

i got a

2.8Ghz Dual Core 2GB Ram AMD Athlon  512 MB so i no my game can run it but it always freezes idk y it can run MW2 but not black ops WWOOWW

[pwner591]

i updated my nvidia graphic driver and it worked .... i played this game on p4..

[keru2011]

try to run it as admin or somthing

[MultiTinna]

aaaaaaaaaa I have same prblem Æ :SS help plss !!!

[MrD0m3xD]

he is lying, put your youtube search "black ops on Pentium 4" (it has 1 CPU)

[Warmuro]

@MrD0m3xD i totally agree with you dude, he is lyin or doesnt know a shit.

[pyrik3]

i also have a problem with this game -.-

[TheSpiikki]

this is why i still play mw2 ;P

[wariaci1230]

mam dokładnie to samo czy jest na to lekarstwo ?

[Sekcja0serowa]

@wariaci1230 Ja też tak mam,i jedyne co można zrobić to kupienie procka z dwoja jajami

[ElboTheHedgehog]

Minimum specs: OS: Windows Vista/XP/7 Processor: Intel Core2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750 or better Memory: 2GB HDD: 12GB Video: Shader 3.0 or better 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT/ATI Radeon X1950Pro or better Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible DirectX: 9.0c

[Warmuro]

@ElboTheHedgehog Fuck that shit, it is NOT releated to system requirements, people with high pc specs criying out same problem all around the world. Our cure will be Modern Warfare 3, because only Infinity Ward knows how to make "Proper Call of Duty".

[ElboTheHedgehog]

If you say Treyarch sucks, you suck more because you don't have the basic knowledge of specs of Black Ops. Black ops have a minimal requirement of a dual core processor and a modern graphics processing unit. I'll post the specs.

[MsKevin400]

@ElboTheHedgehog treyarch joined in because the game contained WWII weapons and missions and brought back the story of Reznov and treyarch made cod 5 thats why they joined and used their fucking high setting graphics again....

[71johnf]

@ElboTheHedgehog I have a 2.4 GHz Dual Core AMD Sempron, 2 GB of RAM, 512MB DDR3 ATI video card, and it freezes... I know my computer is fast enough

[ElboTheHedgehog]

@71johnf

It's not fast enough.

You need at least a phenom to run it.

[mynameisleeyesitis]

@ElboTheHedgehog dumbshit

[MrCodguyy]

@ElboTheHedgehog thats bullcrap because my cousin has the pc version with quad core and his does even come to "press any key" screen it just freezes

[mynameisleeyesitis]

@ElboTheHedgehog your an idiot. my sempron should run it fine, it runs every fucking other new game on the market idiot

[ElboTheHedgehog]

@mynameisleeyesitis

A sempron is VERY VERY VERY old, can't handle modern games.

[mynameisleeyesitis]

@ElboTheHedgehog Erm, lmfao yes it can. Its brand new am3 socket sempron 145. It can handle every game out there kid.

learn your tech then come back.

If it can run crysis, crysis 2, duke nukem forever, all ID Tech 4 games etc etc then yes; it can run black ops. Problem is not with my hardware, its with treyarch's dreadful coding ability. They need to patch then I DEMAND another free weekend of the game on steam, so I can get on it and start taking the piss out of people that payed for this shit!

[rookiecopIT]

@ElboTheHedgehog NO YOU FUCKER I RUN MW2 AND F3AR DUMBY!

[Realeonsgames]

@ElboTheHedgehog Sempron CAN RUN MODERN games

[SrbProGamer]

same problem pro treyarch sucks ass.worst company ever .

[CptHellHound]

Same shit i went to go sell it backk all they could do is give me a other one i even went to stores who buy games and they dont buy PC games they should add this to OnLive and we wotn ahve the problem

[eblood16]

i got exactly the same problem i got AMD Athlon Processor and 2 gb ram and 512 MB video card and 2.40 GHz....but if my pc support gta iv why not black ops?

[KolesnukZhenia]

у меня тоже самое

[NateDogg6661]

its nice to be an american in poverty to spend 60$ on a game to get home and realize you need $400+ more for a new pc so u can play it. and thats considering you already have a video card to toss in it.

[NateDogg6661]

all i can say is wtf.. i decided not to buy the game worrying that maybe it wouldnt play,but then thinking my amd 3700+ plays fallout 3 on full detail no prob whatsoever and it also claims needs 2.4 ghz to play,and Left For Dead 1 claims 3ghz and has no probs...played mw2 full detail no probs and so i decide to buy it and it wont let me past the menu...9600gt vid card.. games need to be more consistent or put ways to test if ur pc is good enough b4 u buy on their site or something. GARBAGE

[Oliman123456789]

[alskinso]

I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im running on a AMD x64 single core windows 7 2.5gb RAM

all u do is:

Delete my config.cfg and replacing it with the config_mp.cfg. Just copy and paste the config_mp.cfg and rename it to config.cfg. You’ll find the files under steam\steamapps\common\call of duty black ops\players

THUBS UP SO PEOPLE CAN SEE!!!!!!!

[Boneakakevv]

@alskinso i love you ....

[bombach007]

@alskinso but is this for multiplayer or single player because I want to play singleplayer and I have the exact same problem like this video and I use AMD Athlon single processor 4 GB rAM

[alskinso]

@bombach007 both

[Boneakakevv]

@alskinso doesnt work for me -.-

[alskinso]

@Boneakakevv your doing something wrong, it worked for everyone else

[bootheguru]

@alskinso Doesn't work. I copied and replaced it, it didn't overwrite it, just added another config file, so i renamed it to config.cfg. Now i had both but cod still did the same thing.

[MrMesam333]

@alskinso does this really work?

[MrDavid4e]

@alskinso its not working

[littleronaldo1]

@alskinso But i download it crakted can you make a tutorial video

[cokobella87]

@alskinso hope that works

I have singel core cpu

[hollowskull100]

@alskinso It didn't work. I deleted my config.cfg and replaced it with the renamed config_mp.cfg. It didn't worked. I think it was because mp didnt even work either.

[LRMANIA]

@alskinso Didn't work for me T_T

[iTzxKaZzYxKinGx]

@alskinso does it still work? if so can u plz quickly make tutoriol bout it

[iTzxKaZzYxKinGx]

@alskinso can u tell me how to do it properly please

[ELementCreator]

I think we all gave up. I bought this game and still cant play it.

And treyarch. they don't care and ignore. Now i rly hate activision as interstellar corporation of greedy evil .

[w700awg]

Same happend to me on my Athlon 3500+, Modern Warfare 1 and 2 can run on my PC, and Black ops graphics almost look like MW1 graphics, but can't play, now I have it for PS3 , which I don't like that much.

[SuperTonyG12]

[dahmn8r1]

[Dinislav2]

[SuperNatasha13]

I'm using AMD Athlon Processore and i have 2GB of Ram plus 1GB Nvidia Gharaphic card i have played lot of games like cll of duty 2,4,5, modernwarfare2,farcry2,crysis,­warhead,contom of solace,assasin creed etc but when i installed blak ops then i got same problem that pc got hanged during press any key how can i fix this problem?

[ElboTheHedgehog]

@SuperNatasha13

You need a Dual Core processor.

Preferably Quad Core, and one of the modern ones such as Phenom and i7

[dylanmeysmans]

@ElboTheHedgehog I have the Core i7 980X clocked at 4.13 GHz (stable after 24 hours of Prime95 Small FFTS, no memory OC) and it still lags at the menu (in multiplayer) for me. The game is great as always, but it's poorly coded compared to previous iterations.

[ElboTheHedgehog]

@dylanmeysmans

What's your RAM?

DDR2 or DDR3?

[dylanmeysmans]

@ElboTheHedgehog 12GB DDR3-1600 Kingston HyperX... And no, my graphics cards aren't the bottleneck, either (4 x ASUS Matrix HD 5870 2GB Platinum in quad CrossFireX with Catalyst 10.11). The game is an Xbox 360 port, that's all there is to it, really.

[inDciso]

@SuperNatasha13 sux didnt?

[hondata70]

Same problem for my ps3 wtf

[pamnaidu]

how to fixx 

[stevethenoobpker]

i got this problem too, any fixes?

[Boneakakevv]

the circle that you got with your cursor is causing our cliicks and buttons not respond to B.O but the desktop instead, i got thesame problem, its pretty gay, idk any solution yet

[MsKevin400]

more like BLACK FAIL

fuck you treyarch why u make games for high end pc's i mean this game has almost same graphics as mw 2 and it ran nicely on my 2006 pc now they really fucked up

btw thumbs up if u think treyarch should fuck off with cooping with activision

they started it on cod black ops

[inDciso]

i am able to run medal of honor on a sigle core procesor and a ati 3100 integrated

but i wasn able to play black opps??

fuck you activision and treyarch!!

[xGhost03x]

i even added it to steam and everything so it part of steam now and still non!

[xGhost03x]

i downloaded mine and i mounted on to disk and put on crack and every thing and i have the same prob!

[parodiesworld]

it's strange cuz wut happens to me it appears like numbers down right, and numbers keep like to number 30 and then menu appears, and i cant click anything just like u :3

[Juicemane91]

I have the same fucking problem (Single Player & Multiplayer). After playing this game on my friends ps3 I looked forword getting this game for about a month saving up little money I had. So I buy from Game Stop. Put the disk in "Failed to run install script" W/e ill get it through steam. Done installing YAY, shit wont let me click anything... Im going to call this compony and rage at them... if you with me help me out it will make them release the patch faster hopefully. >:(

[richis1cool1]

[shady08ish]

fuck man fuck pc i am so tired off playing call of duty on pc because it lags to muck to much problems man fuck i am going to buy an x box or ps3 man i hate playing games on pc if you agree with me thumps up plz

[Kramed96]

I got the exact same problem.. Any fixes?

[BigSxyProductions]

No.... The problem, and i learned the hard way, is the system requirements...

You have to have a specific type of computer system, (or processor) to play Call of Duty Black Ops. Treyarch is just fucked up so bad that they only let people with a high computer set up to play this game on the computer.

FUCK YOU TREYARCH.

[sonicdaguy]

HERES THE SOLUTION

1. Hit the start button or press windows key + r to get the run command window.

2. Type in MSCONFIG and hit enter. A system configuration window should pop out.

3. Go to the Boot tab.

4. Click on advance settings.

5. Make sure everything in this box is unchecked

6. Reboot.

[Boneakakevv]

@sonicdaguy you sure the solution will work?

[sonicdaguy]

@Boneakakevv im positive it even worked for me

[deniboy30]

there is no patch for this..you can play only on dual core proccesor or really strong single proccesor..i tested same game on dual core proccesor and it works and on medium strong single proccesor and it doesnt work..

[panohiro]

@deniboy30 u mean this bugs goes away with better proccesor...

im gonna buy one so if thats true then i will buy it now!

[deniboy30]

@panohiro yeah,you need new proccesor..i ll get mine today..strong dual core..i try same game on my laptop with dual core but i have poor graphic card there so no point of playing there..i only tested there and its work fine..

[Noos14]

Treyarch lemme fucking play this game

[panohiro]

the only fix is the patch right?

so when it comes out plz post it here!

[markreaper]

same thing happened to me..

[shady08ish]
