Black Ops won't start

[DRiccio21]

make sure your disk doesnt have a smudge

[DRiccio21]

i'll try to run something over it but i havent even taken it out of my ps3 since i last played

[DRiccio21]

weird, it works now

[nick]

i think that shit has to do with the server. I remember sometimes my game would pull shit like that (MW2) and one day it came back about server connection failure. iunno

[DRiccio21]

games not working again.

it also prompted me about my 'harddisk database needing to be rebuilt' or some shit when i started the game today.

no shit

just delete your black ops saved file. pretty sure it will re load when you log back into the servers.

not 100% sure, but pretty sure

[DRiccio21]

so go into my saved files... delete all the black ops stuff then sign back on?

wont i lose all my progress in the game?

not that big of a deal i guess but just checking before i do it

Your online progress is saved on the server. The only thing that is stored on your PS3 would be your campaign progress.

the game now starts to freeze up randomly... like if i go from multiplayer back to the main menu it'll freeze on a black screen.

i have to delete the game files everytime i turn the game on, which isn't the end of the world but is a pain in the ass.

my question is whether its the disk or my Ps3. should i just go to gamestop and get a new disk?

[buckeye76]

mine has been doing that too, i just keep telling myself its the servers. Although my ps3 has been making clicking noises lately too. Im sure its going to go anyday now...
