Dedicated servers for MW2!!!

http://videogamesrepublic.com/?p=11728

They have agreed to dedicated servers but I dont know if they will go through with it.

That will be sweet if they do

They are not. They just announced that they will not have dedicated servers. Even with the petitions and everything.


"Pie, we have an official statement from Infinity Ward, unfortunately it's not
even close to what we wanted to hear.

"Here's a summary of the Infinity Ward Dedicated Servers Saga - Modern Warfare
site BashandSlash had an interview with FourZeroTwo, who stated there would be
no dedicated servers or mod tools in Modern Warfare 2 for the PC version, only
matchmaking. The gamers then responded by petitioning all over the IW forums and
on separate petition sites. Boycotts errupted, and without any official
numbers, it is fair to say that the comments read from other posts state clearly
the intention of many gamers - cancel pre-orders. Infinity Ward retaliated to
the assaulted by deleting the two largest threads petitioning and boycotting
their game. Yesterday, a private message from FourZeroTwo on Twitter was
leaked, stating: "Definitely made a big wave, and the response will not be
ignored. I'll ensure everyone at IW sees the petitions and responses to it."

Now, several days after the initial news, Infinity Ward heads Vince Zampella and
Jason West issued an official response, and things don't look good. Jason said,
"We're just prioritizing the player experience above the modders and the
tuners," indicating the PC fans who avoided the game due to cheaters, tight
rules on servers, and skill level differences. "We thought maybe it would be
cool if the fans could play the game."

The IW heads said noted several times that "hardcore PC gamers" will not lose
much in this transition, ensuring that the change helps the casual and moderate
fanbase. Jason makes clear that groups can still establish private matches and
training under the new system, though he fails to recognize the substantial
impact that ProMod and other mods have made, stating that those will cease to
exist in the new version.

When GameInformer asked Zampella about piracy and its impact, he cited, "The
Steam stuff helps with the piracy. I don't know that the matchmaking stuff
does." West acknowledged that some of the reason for owning dedicated servers
is to rent them out and sell adspace on them, funding clans and companies: "It's
a little dubious. Some of the people complaining are complaining with their
pocketbook."

West says that there will be no compromise to include both dedicated servers and
the new system, saying it would "just bifurcate the community."

Yeah - everyone would play on the dedicated servers. Thoughts?"

It's hard to believe that even with over 108,955 total signatures (at the time
of sending this email) that they would still be forcing this on us. PC gamers
unite."

Have a gander.

Yep, Fuck them for doing this....they even tried to sabotage Forums to keep shit HUSH HUSH, fuck them.

What you don't realize is, if this doesn't get stopped now and everyone boycott this game, it is a pre-frame to them making the next COD a PAID TO PLAY MONTHLY FEE.

This is what happens when money grubbing corporate bitches that sit on teh board of directors, think they have teh grand idea of making yet even more money....and they don't understand it WILL FAIL, cuz they got WAYYYYYY TO FUCKING GREEDY.

So now instead of getting a WHOLE PIE...they gonna get half a pie and prolly will be the end of COD nameplate and there will NOT be another COD to follow after this launch. They will be forced to make a copy of teh game and pass it off as some new game, some new title, and try to fool the gamers into buying it.


NOW TO TRY AND BAND-AID THIS, INFINTY WARD OR WHAT TEH FUCK EVER, IS GOING TO PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SOME GAMING MAGAZINES AND -IGN- AS WELL, TO POST "BEAUTIFUL REVIEWS" OF HOW AWESOME THE GAME IS,(just like car companys do to Motor Trend and Car and Driver.....you don't honestly think a fucking FORD FOCUS WAS VOTED BEST QUALITY CAR IN AMERICA DO YOU?) .......IN A LAST DITCHED EFFORT TO BRING BACK THE PEOPLE WHO CANCELED AND ONCE AGAIN FOOL THE BUYERS INTO THINKING THIS GAME IS THE SHIT!! IT WILL BE NOTHING BUT BIASED BULLSHIT, ALL BASED UPON TEH ALMIGHTY DOLLAR! (yes these gaming companies PAY BIG MONEY to review magazines and gaming forums to post great reviews even if teh game sucks)

Fuck em..

Treyarch is already making a cod 7. It is supposed to be based in a vietnam type era.
