Crash, crash, crash, YEAH, play for 5 or 6 rounds then crash, crash, and CRASH. Gets very frustrating considering the cost of this jewel(sarcasm) is $6.99 U.S. Activision better get this sorted out soon or there will be a whole bunch of refund requests. Look at the comments on iTunes and you will see we are not alone. All in all I really want to play this title. I love the original and am looking forward to slaying zombies in the Black Ops maps.
Getting crashes regularly on the 4th gen. while playing this one as well. The game actually works though. It's just the performance and stability is absolute shit. First of all, it crashes half the time I try to start the game. When it works, the game usually crashes after 5 waves. CoD: WaW Z was an incredible game when it came out, even though it only had one map. Over two years later, I don't think Activision can get away with that anymore. I don't understand how they released the game with only one survival map when WaW now has 4. The framerate is awful on the 4th gen. even with detail levels at half-way. The controls have actually gotten worse. The dual-stick option was no doubt the best one in WaW. Not anymore. Now, there's no longer a static dual-stick option. Instead, the virtual sticks pop up wherever you touch on the screen. It doesn't work. Touch controls are still decent, but like in WaW, aren't the best control option. The graphics for a game that's 15 times larger than the original are incredibly disappointing. There's a lot more going on now on the map, but it looks awful. Honestly, I'd say the original game looks better. The sound effects are all recycled from the first game. Can't comment on multiplayer since it probably wouldn't work too well on my device. The frontpage review says there's quite a bit of lag in it though. On the bright side, there's now voice chat. Can't get far enough into the survival map to unlock Dead Ops sadly. According to the frontpage and the main thread though, it should be pretty well-done, and possibly the best part of the game. It's like the normal mode, but from a top-down view, using dual-sticks. Honestly, the game is just a huge disappointment right now for me. I really enjoyed the first one and put many hours into it, having spent a total of $20 on it ($9.99 for the original game and 2 x $4.99 for additional maps). As the TA review states, this just isn't an appropriate follow-up to original game especially after two years, which is more than half as long as the AppStore has existed. The game doesn't even save when you exit the application. Yep, that's right, you have to start from the beginning once you close the app unlike the first game. Another survival map is coming soon, and I hope performance fixes are coming even sooner. If you don't have the original game, get it. You get all 4 maps for just the entry cost of $4.99, which is a great deal. Pass on this one for now.
I wonder if these 4th gen iPod crashes have anything to do with the fact that they are pushing way more pixels than the 3GS for the Retina Display, yet they same amount of RAM as the 3GS. Regardless, I can't see Activision just sit on this game like that. I'm sure they'll release an update to make it more playable sometime soon. I'm looking forward to it. The graphics don't seem THAT much better than the previous game, and the map isn't that much bigger, but it runs at nearly a quarter of the framerate of COD Zombies.
Game Impressions Cod:blops zombies is very enjoyable, but so far I can only play the tutorial on my ipad1 16gb and everything else crashes. i wasted my money on this and infinity blade 2 in one night
You unlock dead ops mode by tapping on the yellow coins in the menus at the start of the game . You collect all four of them to unlock dead ops , nothing to do with the main game
This forum is one of the most unfriendly forums I have ever seen ,so dont expect anyone to reply to your posts. Get used to that ,anyway I don't have the game yet so can't really help you
Well I think multiplayer works for many people here so they can't really help you , if anyone knew how to fix it I'm sure they would have posted here already . From another forum : "log in to your game center account and then just keep on trying..i do have this problem but was able to play in co-op mode after.. "
Just need to fix these things: *. On an iPhone 4s and it runs like a dream. 1. Multiplayer plagued by 2/4 only. I have yet to get into 3 or 4 player match. 2. Controls need a "shoot/drag" button and a run button as well. (shit, just use controls from MC3). 3. Sound files need a huge upgrade. Even willing to spare 1 gig just to get good quality sound. 4. Touch sensitivity (direction) needs to be higher. Sounds easy enough, hope they listen.
Tried out Dead Ops after unlocking it and wasn't impressed. Typical DSS focused on survival/high score. However, after resyncing the game and having deleted a few apps (now I have over a little over 2 GB of free space with 203 games synced), the game didn't crash when I tried to play Kino. I was actually able to get to wave 11. Then, the framerate/performance became so terrible that I wasn't moving anymore and I was literally playing with < 5 FPS. Of course, I died. The game needs a performance update badly. I still think the controls are shit and that the graphics/sounds are terrible.
Every shooter in the app store has its own flaws and strengths. It would be too much to ask for a game with the strengths of all of them. I was hoping activision would lead this movement but it seems they're still playing catch-up with the clone-maker.
I know I can't believe how cheap people are !! You get black ops zombies for 7 bucks with upcoming maps for free and people are still whining about a measly 7 dollars, lol. A lot of us have been waiting for this game for a year. Here it is. I know the iOS 5 problems will be patched by the devs.
just some bugs and things i wanna see in future updates -implement gameloft fps controls, they know how to make perfect fps controls and the way you can customize controls is a huge plus -higher sensitivity, cod is famous for having crazy sensitivity in their console games so why not implement it on their mobile games - ability to customize the controls/ buttons like MC3 -dedicated sprint button, right now after i sprint i have to stop before i can walk again becasue of the way you have to slide the stick to sprint - DOLPHIN DIVE! tap the crouch button when sprinting plz i want this bad - crawler turning into new zombies...fix that - the lag on older devices, i thought i bought a game not a slideshow - the crashing on older gen device - all the weapons from the console black ops zombies, i want my wonder weapons, i f***ing want my thundergun serious...oh and snipers plz - less static in voice chat
I love COD Zombies and this new title is real good. It has it flaws, like only one map but I really like the new upgraded graphics, retina support and universal version. But despite I'm connected via wifi, I can't play online, because everytime it says "your current connection does not support online multiplayer" What can I do? HELP please
