9 November 2010 was a day for launches in South Africa and worldwide. Internationally Call of Duty: Black Ops hit the market, slowing Steam down to a crawl and preventing some users from installing the game right away. There are already updates for the single player and multiplayer sides of the title. Activision is projecting that Black Ops will shift 20% fewer units than Modern Warfare 2 did.

Black Ops wont update my side, it crawls at download speeds of 3.2kb/s and stops. Left it going the whole night and it only downloaded 10MB *sigh*...
F'ed up launch is f'ed...

The servers are incredibly busy. And that was before the world west of us got started on their downloads/updating/playing.

Re: Yesterday’s launches in South Africa
Did they ever consider a distributed architecture for the deployment of these things. I mean plonk at least one server down in every major country... And at least try to provide a decent service. If we had a Steam server in SAIX I would actually be tempted to use it for once.

Re: Yesterday’s launches in South Africa
Why dont you try web africa? Or are you only in the belief that local should be free?
The ps3 game was recieved much better though. It opened with a 23mb update. The local/local only setting is broken though with us still connecting to people in the uk. There is still some minor issues with lag that seems to be game side rather than server. First 4-5 games I played yesterday was a blast with very low latency.
How big is the patch on pc? Or did that copy to folder and run setup off hdd reduce that patch size?
