COD6: No dedicated servers Options

[oohms]

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

* 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

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
