If you’ve picked up the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops you might be experiencing issues with performance, as many people are rushing onto the Internet to report on lag and stuttering during cutscenes, even on high-end systems.
It seems to be caused by a memory leak, with CPU usage nearing 100% even at relatively quiet areas of the game. Multiplayer modes aren’t free from these issues either.
Treyarch are looking into the issues, so we expect a patch to be issued shortly. You can watch a clip below to see an example of the lag and stuttering that has been causing frustration for many gamers.
