brain_stew said:No dedicated servers is a joke, right?
Piracy affected COD4 in a big way. So i'm assuming they don't wanna bother with implementing dedicated servers..Lince said:I guess CoD4 didn't sell enough to warrant dedicated servers for the sequel
lol?
I hate the CoD franchise so I don't care but this decision is hilarious.

You're not going to find dedicated servers on the console version either...demolitio said:I knew there was a reason I preordered the console version. I just had a feeling that the PC version would let me down in some way. :lol

EviLore said:People pirated it, so screw the entire community. Yeah, that sounds about right.

x3sphere said:It's still a careless decision. This is sort of a lose-lose situation for them. It sounds like Acti will be hosting the backend servers themselves so that'll cost them more money, practically negating any cost benefit offered by thwarting piracy in the long run. Not only that, but they have pissed the community off now. There are many people who will not buy this on PC now, based purely on the fact that no dedicated server software will be available.
Teknopathetic said:Absolutely comical. There's nothing Activision/IW can say to justify this. MW was pretty meh, MW2's not even worth looking at now.
Dance In My Blood said:Well I guess this helps to ensure they can sell DLC to PC gamers if they want to.
ghst said:console fps and its bottom feeding gaggle of fanchildren continues to successfully regress the genre to pre-quake standards.
expect more of this in every mw2 thread going. buy this game and you're a fucking dolt.

Damned console peasants!
Because they can easily control what players play.Vercingetorix said:How's that?

It depends. Usually it's very easy to detect differences in the files, so when it goes through Activision's servers to set things up they can essentially shut down anything that isn't standard.Vercingetorix said:Ah, didn't even think of modded servers. They can't mod P2P stuff, can they?
You'll not find hackers with aim bots either. Pc needs dedicated servers with admins or this becomes rife and ruins the game. 1 aim botter can kill a server. I hope this ain't true.Slavik81 said:Remind me again why people are going to buy this game? They clearly don't care about their customers, and they keep ripping away the things people like about PC games.
