just amazing how many people have posted their reviews on sites they have pre-ordered from...shows just how passionate we are about something as big as this.

What kind of knowledge does it require to create your own dedicated server files, out of interest?

Xbox LIVE was down for the whole of the Christmas period (2 weeks) when COD4 came out. Even when it was initially released it didn't work online.

Was it? I played online during Xmas 2008 with COD4, and so did my friend who I worked with.

He must be wearing rose tinted glasses or something. I don't even have an xbox and I knew about that.

My clan had just ordered 8 MW2 servers about 3 weeks ago, well i guess our admin better sort that out

. I just cancelled my pre order and I hope they change their minds about dedicated servers and mods, I struggle to see the point in what they are doing as it doesn't make much sense.

I bet they use IW.net to make dlc on the PC paid for.

Nets them tens of millions on the consoles.

Who cares? Really.

If the tables were reversed, they'd be doing plenty of moaning themselves and I wouldn't blame them.

Frenzy · 20 Oct 2009 at 13:07

Who cares about the consolers. If thats all they can say without putting forward any argument then those "casual" muppets can go stick it somewhere the sun dont shine.

Anyway

Quite.

Removing dedicated servers and moving to P2P MP is a backwards step almost akin to if they had removed online play on consoles and made it split screen or system link only.

You can bet they'd be moaning if that had happened, so of course PC gamers are going to moan when the game effectively takes such a backwards step for us.

Vtec9k · 20 Oct 2009 at 13:22

Ouch, if even PC mags are getting behind it then they are in trouble.

"Even worse, without dedicated servers we can't enforce our 'don't be a dick' policy."

That sort of policy is why i like dedicated servers with good community admins.

McGray · 20 Oct 2009 at 13:22

Tim Edwards is the editor of PC Gamer isn't he...?

Surely IW/Activision are going to have to comment soon with this kind of press. Mind you I suppose their silence speaks louder than any explanation....

~>Dg<~ · 20 Oct 2009 at 13:24

people are now saying take down all cod servers to show them . brings back memories of the cod 2 bs of the past.

Even Hitler is getting tired of this.
