Modern Warfare 2 to NOT support Dedicated servers

http://kotaku.com/5384057/new-modern-warfare-matchmaking-service-will-definitely-reshape-pc-community

The PC community is pretty outraged about this right now. Modern Warfare 2 on PC will not support dedicated servers. Players will be forced to play on official IW.net servers, which work much like xbox live. Players will be able to do matchmaking and private matches... but there will be no clan servers, or custom content.

This really is... dirty. Dedicated servers are what defines PC multiplayer gaming. Running this system will obviously be MUCH more costly for Activision. The only reason I can think of as to why they would take away dedicated servers is to keep gamers from having a good time with custom content, so that Activision can make us PAY for DLC.

The podcast where this was all revealed can be found here (start at 1 hour and 40 minutes). This is pretty disappointing. The consolization of the PC continues.

So is this the final nail to take you away from how nice it looks to how evil Activision really is?

Indeed. They are like Bungie and Forge=except they at least gave us something close to a map maker...

Bastards.

This is why Halo 2 was so f*****************'d up.


Unless the original Halo on the Xbox never had dedicated servers like the PC version? which was and still is wicked rad

H:CE has dedicated servers

Guess what game I wont be buying. Modern Warfare 2

Oh and for the lulz.

And this shit happens RIGHT when I get into PC gaming. I now see why Activision fails.

Activison is close becoming 'Biggest douchebag game company' over EA.

MW2 will be good, but it feeds the pockets of those evil assholes.

So fuck them.

Well, see ya when Activision is the ruler of the universe!

*Goes to play Battlefield 2142*

Wow that really to bad for PC gamers.

That was one of the reasons why I liked COD4 on PC cause one time I played it over at a buddys house and they made servers where if you used things like juggernaut, M16 with stopping power, last stand etc etc. Then you where kicked from the game.

That! Is awesome to me. So now there's none of that for MW2 on PC? Damn. That. Sucks.

Prepare to be owned by perk noobs.

Activison can go fuck themselves.

Indeed. Just Like EA.

Yeah, the only GH game I still want is Metallica. But other then that, I'm going the way of Rock Band.

Anyways on topic: No dedicated servers? Oh man that sucks!

I'd click the link, but all I see is some kind of strange jap site that probably has a story about the climbing price of rice lately.

Kotaku...

PiE, shut the fuck up about your obscure hate for japanese that you have to live by so.

Seriously, that comment was NOT necessary, you just posted it there for what reason? The hell if I know, but I hope YOU know that WE don't give a rats ass about your japanese hate.

And so Pie moves up on my list of people to track down and brutally dismember.

More to the point, this was definitely the decider on whether or not I'd get MW2. Activision fucked up Empires: DotMW (one of the better RTSs out there) and now it's fucking up Call of Duty. That's quite a step forward towards douchism for them.

LMAO

PC gamers just got OWNED!

Good thing I play FPS games on consoles

Wow, you knew about Empires?!

I thought I was alone...
