402 just said live on the bashandslash webcast that;
*MW2 PC will have no dedicated servers
*MW2 PC will have no punkbuster
*MW2 PC will have matchmaking
*MW2 PC will use Valve Anti-Cheat System
Woohoo.
This means that quite likely:
No promod
Zero modding
Zero ladders.
This is just fucked. If anyone's played xbox live or something before, its the same basically.. All hosted peer-to-peer, so you get shit pings and rego, and every server to run a game will need a decent video card to run the game, and its own copy of the game..
Death to server providers, and competitive MW2.
Idiots..
Who else just cancelled their pre-order?
this is stolen off cg...

i wasnt planning on buying the game for the MP and thats just completely put me off. Matchmaking can work with dedicated servers (i.e. l4d) but running off shitty home games doesnt work and basically defeats the point of playing on PC. definitely a torrent for me

If you torrent it you can play over something called G Arena. And itll be no different to "legit" MW2 because theyll all be locally hosted servers. Bonus is you get it for free.

sargey as far as I know it has been officially confirmed, there was an official announcement but i can't remember where, the best thing to do is cancel the preorder, torrent the SP and if they fix up the MP then you can buy it then. you still get the game and if they don't fix MP you haven't wasted good money on a piece of shit

It is true and it is fucked. Heres hoping they realise how fucking stupid they are and implement ded. servers in a closely followed patch. Looks like a torrent may be the way to go till they get there shit together.

78864 Signatures Total for Infinity Ward to include Ded servers on release of MW2 as of 10.04 am this morning.
Imagine if those 78000 didn't purchase the game...thats a big stack of people, and think of thier revenue loss from it and from other companies not making any profit.
Lets do some maths....
$7882456.80, thats what kind of amount will be lost from retailers not being able to sell thier $99.95 MW2 game. Consoles have dumbed down the gaming experience for all PC owners.

fuck em. If it is a stunt, good!
At least we get the dedicated servers. But there gonna lose a lot of pre-orders shit.
But torrent is the best options for me right now. It look so good in the previews. And i was gonna get a 295GTX just for it. but meh. fuk it.

and IW just lost FUCKLOADS of people to piracy, time to kick up the torrents guys, lets get this one rolling. If we can still connect to each other via private, we'll do it that way but fuck no Im not paying for a game that only offers a comprehensive single player experience and a sub par multiplayer aspect.

even one of the heads of server side GON sent the COO of IW a letter of disapproval about no dedicated servers.
IF IWnet works...how are we still guaranteed it will be smooth gaming? How are we going to know how to make new freinds through the different peer 2 peer servers we are forced to join. These cunts should release a demo with IWnet activated so we can SEE and test this shit out.
Dumb fucks know how to shoot themselves in the feet.

EA Dice respond to IW MW2's idea of no dedi servers
Well I think I've found which title I'd prefer for multiplayer aspects, watching some of the videos too, they look pretty good, I've never really had much play of the battlefield series but my understanding is that its highly regarded as cod's rival.

hmmm BF2 i reckon appart from BFV was one of the best battlefields. I grew up on BFV, and think its not really cods rival as such because you'll find more people playing BF2 than most other games still... there are 64 player servers full several of them. BF Bad Company looks alright but seems to look (from that top vid) like 2142 with the whole ice n snow n shit, i just hope its not a reapeat like 2142. (2142 was ok but died pretty quickly) however there are still a heap of ppl playing that also..

bad company 2 seems the same as bf2, correct me if I'm wrong but I remember you could always spawn your squad in a black hawk with mini-guns on the sides. Just as Nano said cod isn't battlefields rival, in many ways battlefield series is much more different than cod. And it's a big + for clans because the scrims are very hectic.

first release of bad company wasn't all that, it is very different from all the other battlefield series, it was similar to dragon rising with out the 10,000 bugs and glitches.
i dl the demo on PS3 seeing it was a only consol release and had to say i didn't enjoy it that much

BF1942 and BF2 were amazing games. The others in the series were not so good. The new BF1943 for PC should be the next big one before BF3.
Bad company was a bit of a spin of, but I havnt played it so not so sure.
