The textures aren't as good but the levels look more polygonally complex. Seems like a simple tradeoff.
I really doubt it's a bug. Ask anyone what they saw people on their friends list playing, last night....
Yea doubt it was a bug. Brought my buddy and his group at gamestop pizza at 11:30 the night of launch for the midnight opening and the stacks of the 360 verison vs ps3 was easily 3-1 and the line was horrible it spread out both ways across the store and wrapped around. I know its hard to picture but the game stop is in the middle of 5 stores and then behind those stores is a stop and shop and a pathmark back to back and the line extended to the end of the stop and shop. So its quite a large line
A tweet by Treyarch community manager Josh Olin revealed that just shy of one million gamers were shown as playing the game on Xbox Live yesterday.

Meanwhile, Steam stats reveal that a peak of 77,609 people were playing the PC version's multiplayer mode concurrently over the last day, and 64,267 its singleplayer. This is a significantly higher amount than those playing perennial Steam multiplayer hits such as Counter-Strike and Modern Warfare 2 over the same period.
None of these figures represent the game's total sales, as in both instances they reveal just the number of owners of the game playing at a given time, and in the 360's case just those online and logged into Live.
In addition, Black Ops' unlocking on Steam was delayed in a number of territories until 10AM EST (3PM UK time). Furthermore, no data for PS3 is available as yet.
I'll be able to check my friends list this evening. I don't remember a lot of people on my list playing previous CoD releases. Probably 4-5 at most. Games like GoW3 and U2 and LBP showed more, but it's not a good indication of sales anyway. Actually, NetFlix shows up pretty often on my friends list too.
OMG NOOb Use compression!I hate to say it but the texture quality is due to lack of space on the DVD.
The disc is maxed out. There's like a meg or so left.

Isn't that kinda obvious, SG79? It's multiplatform. Lowest common denominator and all that.
Its silly , why don't they just use 2 dvds on the 360. Put the single player on one dvd and the multiplayer on a second dvd
Check the tech forum where he mentioned a few bits about the game; parity wasn't intended apparently.
