That is TERRIBLE.
Oh well, look at OFP: DR for example of how a similiar system works/Does not work
I was going to get this and skip L4D2 till after Christmas. Meh, will be getting L4D2.

I'll still be getting it for the single player experience, will maybe hold off until the price drops though...
It's a bit grim neutering the part of the game that many will be buying it for.

Finally a boycott that people can agree. This news is shocking. PC users host and pay for our servers all they have to do is make sure it can work. Why on earth would the sabotage the game like this. Some might think they want to get low sales to justify not bothering next time huh ... 
When I saw the thread title, I thought "Wow... People are only boycotting MW2 because there was a boycott for L4D2 and people were jumping on the bandwagon..."
But holy hell, I am angry about this. This was my most anticipated game for such a long time, absolutely shocking. Why on earth would they remove the dedicated server support?
How utterly ridiculous.

How utterly ridiculous.well its bit strange , rather pc be delayed then not fully done.
but then if there is a lot steam support maybe they trying to do some kind dedicated server system with steam something like tf 2 and cs:s works , as they said there's no PB but there is VAC.

I've been listening to the interview and he said that exactly. There will be no dedicated servers. Also, when asked if there will be support in the future Rob Bowling evaded the question.
I thought it would be pretty obvious. It is so that they can ensure only legitimate copies get played online. By allowing others to host servers it makes it easier for them to get around that. It is an anti piracy move.

It's getting way out of control on the IW forums
Some mods need to nuke the entire first page!

As true as that is to be honest
If anything pro gaming is growing, and shooting itself in the foot by cutting out the most important thing that the 'hardcore gaming' community needs, with the biggest game to ever be released just seems a bit odd.
Seems like CS is the only true pro game lol
So, who is putting their "Money where their mouth is" so to speak and NOT buying this game?
Add me to the list.
I'll have L4D2 to keep me entertained.
Remember, Activision are likely the ones who green lighted this so blame them, not I.W
Is it possible that public matches have no dedicated servers but private ones do and this has been taken out of all context?
Although IWs silence is deafning.
Im going to email Activision.
