Yep thats right.. they fucked this one up worse than cod5. Tens of thousand people are cancelling their pre-orders. No dedicated servers means shit net servers, no cod6 ladders/comps, and because it sounds like they are using VAC, its going to be a pain in the ass to play at lans. This will be the first game in the COD series i won't be buying QUOTE * We're doing a lot on the backend to make the game accessible for everyone. * There is no delay for the PC version of MW2 * There's prestige mode * Jason West at the MP event, said that he was dead on, on the matchmaking servers. We've been building a system on the backend called IW.NET. * You are completely reliant on IW.NET. There are no server lists. There are no dedicated servers. * You have private matches where you can customize the game * You cannot put MW2 on a dedicated server. * This is the first time we've ever done something like this and the team has huge plans for what IW.NET develops into. * Customizing your game...you have quite a few options in a private match * You're getting same game (as in Console), plus matchmaking and private match. * Server admin point-of view, NO DEDICATED SERVERS * Anti-Cheat will be VAC, not PunkBuster http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=104775http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=c...ge&Itemid=1http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showpost.php...mp;postcount=38

Well, this sucks a bit of testicle.
IW.NET sounds like a battle.net style system, however peer to peer servers will make the game almost unplayable here in Australia due to the fact that only few people have decent upstream capacity to play multiplayer games and even then, 1Mbit/sec isn't going to host a decently sized game.
The problem here, is how will this affect the community's involvement and growth around the game?

Simple. there will be no growth. Without the possibilities of dedicated servers for clans and casual players, nor the possibility of game modification to make tournaments possible, this game WILL NOT be well received by the FPS community at large. I think COD4 was a fantastic opportunity for a game to finally take the crown from CS. and MW2 had a serious shot at making this a reality... but they screwed up BAD. This also shows a serious lack of forethought on the side of PC game developers. Blizzard have pulled the same stunt with the new battlenet, completely getting rid of lanplay functionality. Games like WC3 and Counter-Strike were BUILT by the lanning community and the pro gaming community, and have survived much longer than their intended lifespans by a very dedicated and skilled modding/mapping community. Getting rid of this community only serves to make the game sell for a period of months, not years. my 2 cents

so oohms what if we do play it at respawn, do we get shot? lol
But yeh im getting good ping with it, a fair amount of people in australia play the multiplayer and it makes the ping good,
HOWEVER
matchmaking sucks ass, if it cant find anyone in the games lobby with good ping, then it would try merging lobbys with another - EVEN if your lobby is full, then if that fails (most of the time it does when it try's the merge) it would close the lobby
And when your in a game if the host disconects, then it changes hosts - a good thing(to an extent) if the game cannot find a suitable host it will end the game and kick you out - meaning you loose all your kills and points ect ect. - BAD
its a good storyline ect ect, multiplayer needs some more fixing, however you CAN lan in a private match, i havent tried it yet but i will eventualy (possibly at the next respawn)
I enjoyed the story, it realy sucked me in, once i started playing and got into it i couldnt stop, its graphics are pretty damn good, however the AI sucked for your team, at one point you would have the smartest team, they would kill any opposition, then at the drop of a hat they would turn stupid... wtf? it would be realy annoying if i was standing in front, all of a sudden my backups stoped and i would die.
and thats MY two cents.

The singleplayer missions aren't bad
But i don't think IWnet will work at respawn.. only way is if a 3rd party hack fixes things

The game itself is rather fun to play (just as a pub/social game).
But in regards to its competitive nature, its pretty fail. I think oohms pretty much summed this one up for me.
