Black Ops 2 Loads Map Slow

Just a guess. Im sure others will post.
But this is what i think it is ~ 500GB 5400RPM Sea-gate HDD
Get an ssd or a 7200 rpm drive.

+1 : this is most likely due to the slow HDD, getting a SSD drive should help

Also just fyi to the OP. 8 GB of ram is "ideal" for gaming. But for games as of now. 4 GB is typically more then enough. Highly unlikely it's slowing you down any.

For the cost of a new 7200rpm hdd you could easily get a 64gb ssd just to load games on.
Integrating it into windows would be a piece of cake. You won't even need to reinstall windows.

I agree with the posters above me, it's just a matter of the information getting out of your hard drive at a low rate.

Okay I tried everything that everyone "Claimed" to be the issue and/or the solution... They were all wrong except one comment was close. someone suggested to go into the control panel and and check updates, that by itself did not work. What I did do was I saw that the Device Mgr. that under Other Devices that the PowerPC Processor had a ? on it. This sent me on a wild goose chase looking for that driver (That didn't exist for my homemade PC). I inadvertently did a scan for new hardware and found that the drivers for My video card had a recent update. that was it I loaded the new driver, the firmware upgrade and my maps are loaded before the screen is even loaded.

I hope this helps everyone that had the same issues I had. spread the word.
