On PC Black Ops II

[May 02, 2012, 09:53 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

PC Gamer grills Mark Lamia about Call of Duty: Black Ops II, asking the studio head at Treyarch about the just-revealed first-person shooter sequel, focusing on questions about the PC edition. This doesn't yield a lot of concrete answers, as he effectively dodges the question about dedicated servers, saying "we haven’t yet announced exactly what that setup is going to be." He does speak of how this uncertainty related to cheat prevention, and how their aggressive development cycle does not include time for beta testing, but also defers questions about LAN support, though he does speak of eSports support, which would obviously benefit from things like LAN support and dedicated servers.

Has everybody forgot already the terrible, awful support of BOs for PC, the broken promises, the modtools that took ages to come and then were pretty useless to do anything with them anyway? The dedi servers constant bugs that kept crashing servers left and right, the bugs in the game that prevented many players from even playing the game, let alone join a game in progress? BO was a far bigger insult to the PC community than MW3 in my opinion, at least IW knows they don't care for PC games and act accordingly, Treyarch was all We love PC games and Dedicated server shirts and then they delivered jack shit.
