"Co-op/Multiplayer Hosting: To host Co-op or MP matches, a 2Ghz dual-core or better processor is recommended. "

lol, obviously the quality and speed of your internet doesn't matter when hosting games. It's all about the CPU.

I hope everyone gets a dial-up connection and a 2GHz CPU just to **** everyone off.

Not from Steam no. Far too expensive as usual.

SHEDDER1uk · 23 Oct 2009 at 06:15

Jabbs · 23 Oct 2009 at 08:05

I think this will be one lots will if i dare say the words, shall we just say what jack sparrow was

rather than waste that sort of money on poor mp game.

Guest2 · 23 Oct 2009 at 08:33

Beasty · 23 Oct 2009 at 08:44

Multiplayer support for dedicated servers has been removed. Which means its all p2p and will cause horrendous lag with most people

NAah I cancled my preorder!

Once Dedicated servers come back I'll buy it!

ScarySquirrel · 23 Oct 2009 at 09:02

Price isn't too bad, but I'm not buying it until (if they ever, which I doubt) they add dedicated servers.

Nutbusta · 23 Oct 2009 at 09:32

Wow, the last couple of games where outstanding and although I only really played them single player I honestly can't think of a single reason why they would take MP out as 8 out of 10 cats prefer it!

Fenris · 23 Oct 2009 at 09:42

Well I didn't buy COD4 for ages after release at around £20, will probably wait until I can get it for that.

See. Thats the thing you dont know that. I understand your anger about recent anouncements but you do not have ANYTHING other than the written word to cause you to say that.

You havent played it, either single or multiplayer so wouldnt it make more sense to keep your trap shut until you have actually played it?

Stop being so reactionary and internet cliche....just hush up until you actually have something more substantial to attack....

That's good, because they haven't.

I'd just like to clarify. MP is still in, in the form of matchmaking. So theres no dedicated servers for better online performance and stability. You will be relying on the player's connections to serve.

This also means lower player counts than what PC users are used to.

Basically, the game has been ported from consoles and they have not bothered to upgrade the MP infrastructure aspect to what PC gamers would expect.

No more expensive than the price I paid for Empire Total War on release. However, I'll be waiting to see how things go with the dedicated servers before purchase even on a Steam weekend deal.
