COD:MW2 no dedicated server, not much else to say Options

[dead_man]

please watch

long story short, they are trying to console the PC world. over 38,000 estimated pre-orders cancelled.

please post on the infinity ward forums to bring back dedicated server support.

please note, anyone on internode most likely cannot access since IW blocked that ISP and all users completely.

iv cancelled my preorder

[dead_man]

[oohms]

That is wayyyyyy OVERKILL Even the crappest shared hosting plan could handle 50 hits a day with ease What makes a dedicated server so important?

Without dedicated servers, no hosting company will touch it. That means all the 'servers' you see out there will run on some random's net connection.
(If you are even able to choose one)

If they are torrenting or downloading while they host, it will lag for everyone but the host. Also, because here people have shit net (and in the US too), you can't get many players in one server.

Plus say goodbye to custom maps... at 20-60mb EACH, it will take hours to download a map when you join a game.

Proper dedicated servers (the ones clans pay money for, or hosted by ISP's) have 100+mbit net connections, with basically no lag at all. Pretty much all popular cod4/cod5 servers are these paid for servers, for obvious reasons

They said they where sick of people getting free content with mods and stuff so its going to be pay per map pack and shit like that i say everyone vote with there feet no one buy the dumb game....

Little update

"No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings."

In summary:

Max 9v9
No console
No demo recording
No admins
No IW game servers (only peer to peer)
Deciding who is the host goes ONLY on ping
Changing hosts (if too laggy or host quits) stops gameplay for at least 5 seconds
No FOV change
No manual banning on ranked servers whatsoever (IW are going to "ban all hackers" automatically lol - and that is directly quoted from the IW guys ^)
No leaning
No custom maps
No mods

Really is a joke now.. but stopped being funny ages ago
