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
