(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I see alot of complaints about Black Ops freezing for everyone, I bet you haven't tried this:

What you want to do is you delete all your Black ops save files, then you goto into safe mode and do the restore file system and black ops will run smoother, the down fall to this is that if the host of a lobby hasn't done this, the game won't be any different then if you didn't do anything at all.


SAFE MODE

Safe mode is a feature for starting the PS3™ system with the "minimum required functionality" if the system is no longer able to start up normally due to an action was taken (such as turning off the system's MAIN POWER switch while data was being written to the hard disk drive). By starting up the system in safe mode then executing a menu option, you may be able to eliminate the symptom. Please note there is a chance that safe mode options will not fix the problem and you system will require service.
We do not recommend using the options in Safe Mode unless you are experiencing issues with the PlayStation 3. Some of these options could result in loss of data.
If you choose to perform one of the Safe Mode options, please back up your data before attempting to enter safe mode (when possible). Click here to learn how to manually copy data from the PlayStation 3.
Safe Mode is only available to PS3's with system software 2.60(sorry jb's) or greater installed. Click here to download the latest PlayStation 3 system software.

When to Use Safe Mode

Execute safe mode when the PS3™ is experiencing the following symptoms:
When the PS3™ system is started up, the XMB™ menu is not displayed (only the wave screen background appears)

When the PS3™ system is started up, nothing appears on the screen

When the PS3™ system is started up, a message stating [The hard disk's file system is corrupted and will be restored.] is displayed > [OK] > Restore operation > Restart
Original message is displayed again or the system stops during restoration.

When the PS3™ system is started up, a message stating [The hard disk's database will be rebuilt.] is displayed > [OK] > Rebuild > Failure > System stops while formatting hard disk drive.
The system stops while restarting after a PS3™ system update or while updating or rebuilding the database. The situation does not improve even when the system is restarted.

Safe Mode Options

In Safe Mode, you will have the following options:
Restart System - Ends safe mode and starts up the PlayStation 3 normally.

Restore Default Settings - Performs the same operations as [Restore Default Settings] on the XMB™, and also deletes PlayStation®Network account information from the system.

Restore File System - Attempts to repair all areas on the hard disk drive where files can be saved. Corrupted data may be erased if it cannot be recovered.

Rebuild Database - Deletes messages, playlists, changes made on [Information] screens, trimming information for pictures in [Photo], video thumbnails, video playback history and video resume information.
This operation may take a long time depending on the type and number of data items.

Restore PS3 System - IMPORTANT: All data will be lost by performing this step.
This will reformat the hard drive on the PlayStation 3, deleting all data and restoring it to as if it just came out of the box. This is the same as [Restore PS3 system] on the XMB.

System Update - Updates the PS3 system software. This can only be done with an update file already saved on an external storage media.

Activating Safe Mode

Step 1: Turn off the PlayStation 3 by holding the Power button on the front of the unit till the Power light is red.

Step 2:
Touch and hold the Power button, you will hear the first beep, meaning the PlayStation 3 is powering on.
Continue to hold the Power button and after about 5 seconds, you will hear a second beep, indicating the video reset.
Continue to hold the Power button and after about another 5 seconds you will hear a third beep and the system will power off (Power light is red).


Step 3:
Touch and hold the Power button, you will hear the first beep, again for the PlayStation 3 to power on.
Continue to hold the Power button and after about 5 seconds, you will hear a second beep for video reset.
Continue to hold the Power button and after about another 5 seconds you will hear a quick double beep. At that point release the Power button. If you succeeded in activating Safe Mode, you will see a message on the screen saying, "Connect the controller using a USB cable and then press the PS button."

Alright I know i just posted this in the completely wrong spot, but i posted it for everyone that's complaining about their systems freezing, mine used to freeze for BO then i did the file restore and boom no freezes anymore. I hope this helps people.

If anything mods, move and leave a redirect for a couple days.

We shouldn't have to do this and lose all our data. The game should just work when you put it in your PS3 with none of this messing about. This game is an absolute joke on the PS3.

Is what i was saying to do, why would i tell you to go and delete all of your files? That's just stupid to even think of someone telling you to do such a thing

and yes juddy the game should just work, treyarch is a failure and infinity ward knew what they were doing even though their game had so many problems. treyarch is out for the cash while saying "they are all about the fans"

And this still has nothing to do with BO... If you really want to restore the system.. Then why can't it be done via the xmb???

Sony told me to do this. Didn't fix anything so in the end I bought a new hard drive and the game runs with no freezes.

great thank you!!!
