No MW2 Dedicated Server

[Oct 18, 2009, 12:13 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

There will be no dedicated server for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, reports a new BASH webcast on BASHandSlash.com, where they converse with Infinity Ward community manager Rob Bowling about their concerns that PC platform is being marginalized for MW2 (thanks Steve). They learn the PC edition is still not delayed, and will include Steam support, but their concerns are only heightened by learning that there are no plans for a dedicated server for the game, as matchmaking on the PC will entirely go through IW.net. Robert did not have answers to questions about how this will impact custom map-making and modification efforts. The Infinity Ward Forums have a petition asking for dedicated server support and there's another Dedicated Servers for CoD-MW2 Petition on petitionsonline.com that currently boasts over 15,000 signatures.

Ahwell another game for the bargin basement bin!

Don't do that unless it's digital. This irritates me a bit. I can't stop you but the retailer paid full price for that copy, they don't get to return it to Activision. It's a sale either way for Activision once you purchase it, even if the retailer is selling it $5.00. They will count that purchase towards their "OUR GAME SOLD 100000000 COPIES" figures and further the assumption that they can just ignore pc gaming.

There are tons of other great games this year anyways, their hubris is astounding.
