After months of waiting and countless petitions, both Activision and Infinity Ward have lifted the lid on dedicated servers that are on the way to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. While it can't be said that the IW.net service was a massive failure, the complaints of rubber banding, host migration, game lobby issues, and countless other issues finally pushed Activision to give in to the players' requests.

"We have not been ignoring your complaints," Community Manager Robert Bowling made in a press release. "We have actually had dedicated servers ready to be released since last November at the game's launch."

"The goal of IW.net was to provide a safe, reliable gaming environment that provided a smooth and cheat free environment. We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone for failing to deliver on any of these goals."


A recent Tweet by 402, Robert Bowling, shed a bit more light on just when we could expect these dedicated servers to be released. However, in typical PR fashion a straightforward answer was not given, only a cryptic binary code was provided: 010000010111000001110010011010010110110000100000
011001100110111101101111011011000111001100100001.

you decide !
 
What a coincidence for something like this to appear on the day of April fools. If they had this ready in November, then it would have been brought out with the game.
 
well

010000010111000001110010011010010110110000100000
011001100110111101101111011011000111001100100001 = April fools!

Quite bad taste imho, considering.
 
That is in bad taste tbqfh ,they took my money for a game that didnt work , they let me waste hours trying to find a game in the lobby,when i did find a game they let me get butt raped by hackers and when hackers where not there i had to suffer game crippling lag and now they laugh at me ?

:(
 
Lol did you make this up or was this actually posted by IW?

If so, the April fool is actually on them, no one is playing your game!!!

Roll on BC2 :D
 
Right so, April 1st comes, and this piece of news appears from the makers of MW2 announcing they were wrong about not using dedicated servers... Smells like bs to me.

Plus, if this is a joke (which I strongly believe it to be given the date) it just shows to me how pathetic these people really are to wind up the community (showing that they know themselves the amount of complaints) and choosing to ignore them completely.

If I am in fact wrong about this I will run away like a little girl. :o

Anyway, glad I haven't touched MP barely since completing SP as the amount of lag and cheaters would infuriate me. :p
 
I never find April Fools funny. It's one of the most annoying days of the year. Everyone feels compelled to lie through their teeth, in the least amusing way possible, as a lame excuse for saying "April Fools!" like it's in some way clever. Which it isn't.

Lame.
 
Humour fail.

I hate MW2 now, it takes about 10minutes to find a game and when you do you lose connection to host!!!!

What is the point.
